Call it “pension week” in Canada.Each day this week the national paper will publish a new installment on the country’s pension crisis. On Wednesday, hundreds of Nortel pensioners and supporters will rally on Parliament Hill. Ken Georgetti, Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe, and Dave Coles will support the Nortel pensioners and call for action on pension security.

The pension crisis has the potential to be a game changer after three weeks of game control and opinion poll gains by the Conservatives since Parliament has reconvened.(Where are the columns and blogs now urging us into the streets in a quick election?)

The Toronto Star's Public Editor, Kathy English, still doesn't get it. English, who has come under intense fire this week from right and left in the blogosphere and in letters to the Star, last week rushed to judgment with a poorly researched column in which she attacked Star journalist Antonia Zerbisias.
