CBC's The National, CPAC debate

UPDATE: Here's the CBC.ca news story, and a direct link to Terry's story on the National.

Terry Milewski was at the hearing today. His coverage of the opening day was on CBC's The National tonight, with a little sound-bite from me. You should be able to see it here, shortly. It's on at about 20 minutes into the broadcast.

I hope Milewski attends every day, though I'm not sure what the appetite of the CBC's head honchos is for this story.

Then again, now that their old boss of news has decamped for Al Jazeera, perhaps the CBC's Islamist tilt is abating.

Speaking of TV shows, the CPAC debate I participated in last weekend is now posted to their website. You can watch the whole thing here.

I wasn't quite sure how I did at that event; it's tough to tell, when you're right in it. Here's my commentary from that same day. Watching the debate again, I'm glad I came across as angry, but not as angry as I felt, going up against Fine's bald-faced lies.

If you only have a few minutes (as opposed to an hour and a half), fast forward to exactly one hour into the clip. That's where the CHRC's senior lawyer says "there can't be enough laws" governing speech. Bloody terrifying -- enough to make Keith Martin put out this press release.

If you've got a few extra minutes, my opening rant starts just before the ten minute mark. Commenters on Small Dead Animals seem to like that one. I also had a weird back-and-forth with Ian Fine shortly thereafter. And there's a few more rants scattered throughout.
