The three network news last night ran without ever using the "M" word. What networks are you talking about? The Canadian ones did after they realized what a mess the thing could have been. Jihadists all day. Not that anybody in the MSM or in the Canadian Press will call them that I don't know what canadian press you've been reading: Generation jihad: angry, young, born-again believers Headshot of Margaret Wente MARGARET WENTE From Tuesday's Globe and Mail When a handsome teenager named Saad Khalid graduated from his Mississauga high school last year, he wrote an unusually fervent message in the yearbook. Invoking the name of Allah, he asked, "Do you really believe in it? You do? Then prove it." It's not hard to guess that these questions were really directed at himself.

Popular and good at school, he seemed like a million other kids on their way to becoming an immigrant success story.

The whole thing's just too in your face. There's another thing. We now have a conservative national government and all this stuff is making it more and more popular. Things are changing here. With regard to canadian political change, the US spinmeisters are behind the curve.
