Cherniak's post includes the Youtube video "Calgary 9-11 Truth meets Jack Layton" , which has received close to 5000 views.

The week's 2nd most talked about post has Stephen Taylor noting CBC news' position on the controversial opinion article posted by Heather Mallick. Taylor's post has elicited an avalanche of comments on his blog, 99 at last count.

While "Anon" counters: "But she was writing about a political candidate. Is criticism of people off-limits now?"

Popular independent blogger "A Dime a Dozen Political Blog" lands in fifth place this week with a post claiming that the Liberal's candidate in Prince George, Drew Adamick, is a Green shift critic– yet another example of a candidate who thought the "delete" button on their blog actually removed their controversial thoughts from years past.
