http://www.ourhometown.ca/opinion/pulse/ Jason Setnyk and Todd Bennett are two local political guys who regularly weigh in on community issues. They are not a cheerleader for any one particular poltical party or community group, nor do they debate each other. In fact, they do not even see the other person's response before it is posted. Sometimes they agree and sometimes it is a friendly wrestling match of words! http://www.ourhometown.ca/opinion/SB0010.phphttp://www.ourhometown.ca/opinion/SB0010.phpHarper's Conservatives innocent until proven guilty?
