I should say right away that I have no vested interest in this campaign, and other than being a concerned citizen I don't really care!

The reason I bring this up is because I am a news junkie and as one of the four different newscasts I watch each day I noted some peculiar articles:

1. In a piece about the West-leg of the C-train they were interviewing Bronconnier, but focused pretty obviously (to me anyway) on a Go Alnoor poster in the background. I thought that this was odd, but then yesterday;

2. When talking about Crime around the Drop-In Centre they had a criminologist who spoke more about politicians making promises during election time than he did about whether this could be solved with more police officers. This was a pretty blatant attack on Bronconnier and his request for more funding.

Just makes me wonder about their intentions. Two high profile cases in two days, and both appear to try to derail his re-election bid. Am I out to lunch here...anyone else notice this?
