CBC Politics with Don Newman

All quotes approximate becasue CBC Politics pulled off its archived broadcasts, which used to go back months, if not years.


September 15, 2004


At the end of the afternoon broadcast, host Don Newman said jokingly that the motto for Canada is: “Canada, the greatest country to be sick.”


October 1, 2004

A straight-faced guest Susan Delacourt said: “I think the Liberals are a little delusional here.”


January 11, 2005

Guest Tom Axworthy tried also to crack the delusional-imaginary nut, using, creatively, the phrase "hard-headedness". But apparently he was not very good at nut-cracking because he could not keep a straight face. He was even uneasier on January 25, the day after I posted my second long blog entry on my experience with MSM.


March 3, 2005

Guest Scott Reid: "We are talking about people's livelihood here."

BTW, Scott Reid is very good at keeping a straight face.


During Liberal crisis of April-May

Don Newman: "Chinese curse".


Many an occasions

Don Newman or his guests: "Chinese water turture".


November 4, 2005

Newman:"That's a Chinese curse?"
All pundits laugh.
