…. you should know better than to get into a Twitter mud-slinging match just because Ezra thinks it’s a good idea to bash former newspaper editors!
I thought you were a tad better than that! I mean, I’m not exactly your “fan” (though hey, I’ll be in your riding this weekend so wouldn’t decline a chat. Maybe you could win me over!), but I didn’t think you’d plunk yourself smack into the EzraZone!
Oh, yeah – for you other readers who are not named Tony Clement, you might have missed this. You know that unparalleled purveyor of windbag wisdom, Ezra Levant? Well, he huffed and puffed about former G & M editor Stephen Wicary following his wife (who works for Care Canada) to (urk!) CUBA! The noive! And to be with his wife! To Ezra this was PROOF that the G & M is indeed nothing more than a commie rag!
In the meantime, there was an article in the Globe referring to the celebration of Norman Bethune – Gravenhurst, Ontario’s fave son

Conservatives can be comfortable that there’s a message here broader than just his communism,’ @TonyclementCPC says. bit.ly/N1DDFJ

So yes, @ezralevant, do let me know when the two-part hit job on that dirty red @TonyclementCPC goes to air: bit.ly/N1DDFJ

“that dirty red @TonyclementCPC” – snicker…
This is where you got involved, Tony. And you really should have kept your BB in its pouch. Really.
As Kady O’Malley notes:

@wicary @ezralevant My point was to celebrate things other than his communism. You chose to live in a communist country. Big difference.

@TonyclementCPC Joining the pile-on ill befits a minister of the crown.

@wicary Then stop baiting the bear.

And it went back and forth like this for a while before others in the Twitterverse chimed in.
So what are you saying, Mr. Minister? Am I and the tens of thousands of Canadians who travel to Cuba for work or pleasure being bad little Canucks? Is there a diff between Chinese Communism and Castro’s version? Is China’s less evil? Is there a GDP line in the sand?
I need some clarity here, sir.
And if you do care to explain, I’ll be at the Parry Sound town beach on Saturday. Meet you at 2 pm by the swings on top of the hill.
In the meantime, enjoy your summer and keep your BB holstered.
