Can you tell the difference?
I went for a spring stroll in my bustling neighbourhood of Yonge and Eglinton today and stopped for a quick bite to eat in a bagel shop. While I was enjoying my meal, I overheard the conversation of two patrons.
"... they cut the funding to the Palestinian Authority."
"Who did?"
"Prime Minister Harper. You know, with the new Conservative government?
"Canada is changing. We are getting things done.
"We're more assertive now."
Assertive..... I nearly fell off my stool after hearing that word. It is probably the word that best describes how the Conservatives want to conduct business and how they want to be viewed by the voting public.
Don't tell me Canadians aren't watching the Conservatives every move (and so far liking every bit of it).

Yes. But this particular policy response is debatable to say the least. We are never going to win seats out here in Mississauga with overtly pro-Israel policies like that...we need to find a better balance.
