Sun News Adds Another Gladiator Of Truth...

Coren steps into the Arena

Michael Coren agrees there is a fine line between being sensitive to issues and aggressively pushing for answers — and with his new show, he consistently plans to cross that boundary.

...and as a reader, who made a comment to the article, we are going to get all viewpoints; "He will also have a show where people like Sid Ryan, Michael Shapcott, James Clark, John Clarke, Harry Kopyto, Andrea Calver, Tarek Fatah, Justin Trotier, Carolyn Parrish, Peggy Nash, John Downs, Martha Hall Findlay, Atif Kubrusi, Michael Skinner, Akassh Maharaj, Burt Archer and a whole host of others will be provided with their own left leaning soap box.
Only those who never watched the show would think all sides were not represented. There were hard line and orthodox Muslims who were regulars, gay activists, pro life activists and people from all the political parties."

But When All Is Said And Done...

...it gives social in-activists something to do.

1. Keep a close eye on expenditures, limiting the outflow of tax dollars to only the most pressing needs, until you are able to  eliminate the deficit and get the national debt back under control.
2. Take the opportunity to reduce or eliminate unnecessary  costs, exploiting public support for economic security to get rid of  frivolous programs previously protected by political concerns.
3. Throw a three-day talkfest nobody cares about, blowing more than $1 billion on security while turning the country’s biggest city into an armed camp in midsummer, when it should be attracting tourists rather than storm troopers in riot gear.
