Hockey Canada summoned over captain
May 01, 2007 04:29 PM
Canadian Press
OTTAWA – Hockey Canada officials are being summoned by a parliamentary committee to explain their choice of Shane Doan as captain of the national team at the IIHF World Hockey Championship.
The Conservatives, Liberals, and NDP supported a Bloc Quebecois motion that demands officials from Hockey Canada and Sport Canada appear before the House of Commons' Official Languages Committee.
At issue is an alleged derogatory remark by Doan toward a French-Canadian referee during a game in 2005. The Phoenix Coyotes forward has denied making any slurs and was cleared by the NHL.
A committee clerk said two federally funded – but arm's-length – bodies are being asked to appear Thursday.
Oh, sweet jesus...."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Itsthough because he could be as sexually explicit as he wants and tell an opposing player where to shove various parts of his anatomy-- but insult a French guy
watch out
This should not be occupying the legislature of the country but I understand why the Conservatives did not want to be on the losing side of a vote on this thingYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

So can I. Votes are more importantant than principles to Steve these days. Especially in Quebec.
1. he would highlight his impotence when he was outvoted
2. he would have to face the " why do you support Quebec-haters" type question, and
3. He would have gained a little respect from me for being willing to unpopular positions just as he gained a little when he made the income trust decisionYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo

So what you are saying is that Steve is no different than the PM's and politicians before him? Nothing new to see here."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

I had hoped for more principled stands on issues since personally I will vote for someone that I view as having integrity even if I disagree vehemently on an issue of two. BUt the Conservatives have decided to play the Liberals old game of standing for as little as possible in the view that strong positions can lose you votes.

Is that the best we can do?
Why isn't Crosby playing?
And Doan has excellent leadership skills. We've already established you do not know what those are."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The income trust issue however is a great example. You see his backpedalling as integrity whereas I take the issue a little further back to when the promise was made. One of two things wre true at that time: 1) Steve made a promise knowing he couldn't keep it, or, 2) Steve made a promise he should have known he could not keep. Either way it was a failure of leadership.
I'm not a conservative basher. I voted for the party last time out on the promise of something different in Canadian politics and have been terribly disappointed in this leader and this party's performance since then. We are looking at the new incarnation of the old Progressive Conservative party (mushy middle, not standing for anything). We already have the Liberals for that."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
