Good one Bubber. I worked with a bloke who, when asked how he was always answered "fair to midland". I'm sure that was way before that band came along.

This is your opinion that I do not share.Neither does Mulcair.Mulcair shouldn't have played the race card, even if it's only implied.
Some will be offended,but that's tuff!

I'm pretty sure Bubber's right and the expression is fair to middlin'.
Of course, there could be local variations ... near Midland, say.

It was a classless move and I won't support it. He was right to bring up the double-standard, but he was wrong to imply that it was race related.This is your opinion that I do not share.Neither does Mulcair.

I'm sorry that you can't see that just making up crap off the top of your head is less relevant than a methodologically sound researched investigation into the matter. I'm not the grader of opinions. I'm saying that your opinion is less relevant than a study on the topic, not less relevant than another opinion. Apparently you don't understand that though. Probably because you think all opinions are equally valid and there's no such thing as facts.Attention MLW posters. Cybercoma has appointed himself the resident opinion grader. Is your opinion:

Just so.

Is Mulcair a racist seeing he said Obama was a lying about having photos of Bin Laden?
He didn't say Obama was lying. He just said that there's no evidence shown to prove him true. To that effect, Mulcair was absolutely right.

....and what in the world does it have to do with "racism," anyway?

Same thing it has to do with Conrad Black entering Canada.
That's your answer?
