It’s Tuesday the week after the Klees interview.

Word.ca did not put up the Klees tape. What is there
now is last Sunday’s telecast about Galloway
and polygamy.

Apparently Kells’ interview got raptured.

Thursday morning and the Klees video still is not on

Curious. See my comment at unrepentant old hippie.

ar arrr arr. Van Loan has said no, he’s not running and has decided to remain federal, Klees is a German immigrant, Randy Hillier and Masood Khan have declared.

We have German and Dutch ancestory settlers in parts of west/southern Ontario.:^)

Thanks Torontonian. I’ll bump that info into the post.

As of Tuesday morning at 8 am EDT, the video of
Klees has not yet been posted at http://www.word.ca.

Perhaps it will be later today–Tuesday or Wednesday
are the days of the tape being put up online.
When it does become available, it will be under
the tab that says This Week On Word.CA

Evangelical fundamentalist fringe does not equal Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.

But said fringe does make up a voting block within the Tories; IIRC, former leader John Tory was playing to it in the last campaign with a plan to extend the funding given to Catholic schools to other faith-based schools, only to see it backfire among swing voters.

I don’t know much about McVety other than what you report on here; he seems to be a Pat Robertson wannabe, hoping to be a theocon power-broker. As long as he doesn’t scare off hockey mom Tories with this visit, Klees might get something out of the visit.

By the way, what is with the Ontario Tories this go round. Klees, Van Loan; do you have to have a Dutch-sounding name to run this time?
