Talk:David Wilkins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Possible Bias
This article seems somewhat slanted against David Wilkins. It fails to mention numerous positive things he has done to warm relations between Canada and the US, in particular to help push for a softwood lumber deal. His contributions there should also be discussed. Also, it was Wilkins who tried to delay the introduction of mandatory passpot entry into the United States, and it seems to have been Wilkins who made sure that Canada was publicly thanked for its assistance to those who in need after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Also, how much do you we know about his time as the South Carolina speaker of the House ????
Also, how do we know he is a close friend of President George Bush ????
- The United States refusal to participate in the inquiry was front page news in Canada.
As a Canadian, it was minor "frontpage" news. Srnec 04:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, it was seen as somewhat minor — our brilliant media-persons decided that having hockey stories on both the front page, and the Sports front, would be more relevent and appropriate. Oh, the unfettered joy of our misled media, lol. =D
Seriously though, it was a significant event, and I am surprised that the United States didn't make more of a mention of this event. However, I get the idea that this article sort of has an anti-American stance on this issue — maybe POV? (And that's coming from a Canadian.) FiveParadox 05:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
