		<description><![CDATA[According to CBC News, the Telegraph-Journal has made some major changes in wake of &#8220;Wafergate&#8221;. You may recall the front page headline in the Telegraph-Journal on July 8th, 2009 &#8211; &#8216;It&#8217;s a scandal&#8217; &#8211; Catholics demand explanation for PM pocketing communion wafer at LeBlanc funeral.

		<description><![CDATA[As I watched a CBC show around mandatory voting, I came to the conclusion that it&#8217;s not a matter of forcing people to vote; but, the ultimate issue is with our current electoral system. While the country has changed a great deal since 1867, our electoral system has not.  Obviously, changes such as allowing women [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more interesting stories so far in this election campaign is the &#8220;Pooping Puffin&#8221;.  For anyone curious, it was a video shown on the Conservative party&#8217;s notaleader.ca website (until taken down earlier today). It showed a puffin pooping on Stéphane Dion&#8217;s shoulder. Not to defend the party; but, I really don&#8217;t see how [...]]]></description>

The NDP leader forgets that there is already a day that is not recognized as a holiday across the country. This is [...]]]></description>
