Kevin Potvin and I are somewhat at logger-heads.

Potvin is that Green Party ex-candidate in Vancouver who had a "little voice inside (him)" (that's generally a metaphor for a conscience. Not in this case.) shout "Yeah!" and "Beautiful!" when the Twin Towers fell on 9/11. Oddly enough, he thinks it was organized, at least in part, by the government. (He thinks the government's actions are beautiful? Maybe he's secretly a Bushie...)

He's also the guy who said he found "common cause" with the Islamic terrorists who conducted the London subway bombings. "We would do no less; in fact, we do no less".

(Side note: it took Elizabeth May a good day before she condemned the comments. Something smells fishy... and I thought she was a vegan.)

But here's a less known fact: he created a Wikipedia article for himself and stuffed it full of fake awards and accomplishments, to mislead voters into voting him into Vancouver City Council. He told the Globe & Mail, "Facts are just what people say they are." (Truthiness, eh? Colbert's a Bushie too, you know...)

When the reports of his comments made it to Wikipedia, he did what any good Big Brother would do; throw it down the memory hole. Link. Being a Wikipedia nut, I grabbed the info back, with my own words of inspiration. Link. (My username: Jeztah.) He destroyed the evidence again. And here's where his crazy is showing: he threatened me with legal action if I tried that again, and stated, "...once I start, I don't stop." Link.

He accuses the US government of killing thousands in 9/11, and calls notifying the world of his unsavory opinions "libel". I wouldn't vote for this man if you paid me.

According to a BBC poll, Israel is the most disliked country in the world. Right under North Korea and Iran.

28,000, polled from 21 countries (Israel wasn't one of them) said that Israel's influence is mostly negative. I find this absolutely disgusting. Civilised democratic countries such as Canada, the US, and much of the EU thinks that a fellow democracy, in the Middle East, that guarentees human rights, dignity and freedom to all of its citizens is deemed worse than Iran, whose President is developing nucleur weapons and threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and call the Holocaust a fraud. It is deemed worse than N. Korea, whose human rights violations are innumerable. And what is the justification? That they used military action in Lebanon to defend against terrorists?!

It's amazing what the press can do: making the oppressors look not-as-bad, compared to the victims.
