Tim Hortons bans man for dissing its decaf
Don&#8217;t like our coffee? Take your business elsewhere.
That&#8217;s Tim Hortons&#8217; advice a day after the story of a New Brunswick man getting slapped with a lifetime ban for complaining about &#8220;bad coffee&#8221; went viral and elicited hundreds of comments online.

From last night&#8217;s At Issue:
Chantal Hebert: I&#8217;d say the vanishing Elizabeth May. Remember the Green Party, this time last year, Stephane Dion was hinting he might let her in to a coalition cabinet. Now byelections came and went, and the Green Party barely made a dent in all four seats.

		<description><![CDATA[In Canada, neoconservative is a dirty word, and when used as an accusation, is difficult to refute since most folks can&#8217;t say what it means. In other words,  &#8220;I know it when I see it&#8221;.
The best known definition may be Irving Kristol&#8217;s: &#8220;A neoconservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality.&#8221;

It is not very often that one gets to witness a &#8220;leadership frontrunner&#8221; immolate his own candidacy so blithely, so recklessly&#8230; He is done &#8212; and if he isn&#8217;t, he should be.

His telling of Fidel&#8217;s qualities and accomplishments is so impressive, there is only one man who can possibly compare: Chuck Norris.
So here they are head-to-head. Who&#8217;s the man?
Note: As far as we know, Alexandre Trudeau was not trying to write satire. All [...]]]></description>

Is Canada still the progressive, socially liberal neighbor of Democratic dreams and Republican nightmares?
Can our mythic reputation as a cleaner, politer Europe survive incoming Prime Minister Stephen Harper&#8217;s Conservative regime?

There was a refreshing brevity to Harper&#8217;s responses. He occasionally dodged, but he didn&#8217;t weave&#8230;
From start to finish, the entire media availability seemed to take up no more time than one of outgoing Prime Minister Paul Martin&#8217;s subordinate clauses.
