Phoenix Coyotes Shane Doan Goes Ahead with Lawsuit Against Liberal MP

Good for Shane Doan.

Denis Coderre is a Liberal MP who needs to grow up. If this is what our politicians waste their time on then the state of the Liberal party is worse than I first thought. I can't believe that he went that far.

The thing that irritates me is that he's going on second hand information. He has zero proof. Hmm. Sounds pretty much like how La Presse went after Alex Kovalev for remarks he allegedly made to a murky Russian sports paper.

In any other part of the normal world this is libel.

Maybe this is how it is in Quebec but in the real professional world it's called yellow journalism. I have always lamented how politicized this place has become. It's so bad that I've heard sportscasters justify it on air - on English radio! Hello Claude Maillot and Roger Brulotte. You can't have a discussion on anything here without it being spun into some political angle. Even gardening and cooking is political here.

That's why people leave. Not because they hate Quebec, the people, the culture or the language. They leave because of the politicization of our lives. It has ripped the city of Montreal to bits.

Now CKAC, a French language radio station, is moving to an all-sports format. This I gotta see. Something tells me I may waste some time writing about these guys.

Back to Shane Doan. The fact that he is moving forward with this says a lot. It's about time someone takes a lousy Liberal to court. Coderre had a chance to retract and apologize and he refused. Such arrogance. Make him pay.
