In my latest Sun media column I both lament and explain the predictability of politicians.
And just to keep the volume of hate mail up, I also take a shot at the CBC.

Maybe if Harper gets his much deserved majority we might see good things like scrapping (Make it private?) that Toronto based tax paid Liberal prop machine CBC.
Gerry, Harper's no John Tory (Faith base schools) or Dion (Tax shaft) for that matter. The PM (Which will still be the PM after as late as Oct.2009) might just have a "plan" AFTER the election for the CBC that most Canadians might go for...As long as Hockey Night in Canada is secured of course.
Even the taliban and other terrorists like CBC. CBC dictates and manipulates the public. I personally think that canadians who are paying for this garbage should protest that their tax dollars be not sent to CBC; our tax dollars is worth too much to be used on Communistic style media.
... The two party's election strategies are already obvious. ... Tories: "Don't vote for Mr. Dion!" ... Liberals: "Don't vote for Mr. Harper!" ... Which will, of course, produce another identical Conservative minority, and the CBC will live on.
Gerry Nicholls is a communications consultant and writer who has been called a “political warrior” a “brilliant strategist” and one of the “canniest political observers in Canada.”
He has worked as a consultant in both the United States and Canada and was formerly a senior officer in the National Citizens Coalition.
A regular columnist with the Ottawa Hill Times, his work has also appeared in the Globe and Mail, the National Post and in the Sun Media chain; and he has appeared on countless TV and radio public affairs programs. He is the author of the book, Loyal to the Core, Harper, Me and the NCC.
“Loyal to the Core is a daring and provocative work. It deserves to be read by conservative activists and politicos.” – Western Standard
“This is a very important book.” -- Michael Coren, TV host
“A fascinating read” --- Seamus O'Regan, Canada AM
“I really enjoyed Loyal to the Core. It’s a great book”, - Charles Adler, radio host.
"Loyal to the Core should be required reading for anyone considering or starting a career at a conservative think tank or in electoral politics in general …Consider Loyal to the Core a cautionary tale that’s also a funny, easy read – with a few highly “stealable” ideas for media campaigns thrown in for good measure.”- Kathy Shaidle, author Tyranny of Nice
“Every Canadian remotely interested in politics and the state of the country should have a read of Loyal to the Core. – blogger Wendy Sullivan
"It’s rare to find a politico, however, who is equally passionate about policy and strategy, but columnist, pundit, author and Western Standard blogger Gerry Nicholls is such a person." Matthew Johnson, owner Western Standard
"If you are a conservative who wonders how conservatives can communicate their message in a hostile media climate, Loyal to the Core is a must read." -- At Home in Hespeler
"You HAVE TO read this book!" -- Connie Fournier Free Dominion

Great article in the Sun, and you know damn well that the CBC will be gone if Harper gats a majority.
The CBC is nothing but a propganda tool for the Liberals.
And everyone knows it, even the most partisan libs.
Even the taliban and other terrorists like CBC.
