- Dan Arnold: In search of Canada's silliest scandal
-
In honour of the wafer waffle making the New York Times, nearly one month after it may or may not have occurred, I've opened up a poll at my blog, Calgary Grit, to crown Canada's silliest scandal — a scandal or faux-pas that generated way more media attention than it deserved. Voting will be open until Friday evening, at which point the top 2 vote-getters will be invited to duke it out over the weekend for the title of Canada's Silliest Scandal.
I've narrowed the field down to 17 nominees. While most of these entries are more recent, I prefer to chalk that up to history wisely discarding the silliness from our collective memory, rather than the death spiral of irrelevancy Canadian politics now finds itself in.- Wafergate: Stephen Harper may have eaten a cracker. Or not. No one really knows. Yet this story consumed the media's attention all summer long.
- Camcordergate: Yeah, the Liberals really fuddle-duddled that one up. But, really, should one bad tape have sunk the coalition and forced the Liberals to forego a proper leadership race?

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
