Not That It's Biased Or Anything

The Ceeb's ingrained slant is apparent in this lede:
With the government unwilling to amend its budget, all three opposition leaders said they are prepared to defeat Prime Minister Stephen Harper's minority government on a motion of non-confidence Friday.
"Unwilling"? What bollocks! The government threw in plenty of goodies to try to placate the terrible triad. But it's clear they had decided the time was ripe for another election (the 4th in 7 years!), and the Tories were going down no matter what. But let's pretend, shall we, that there's going to be an election because Michael Ignatieff wanted "affordable housing" and Jack Layton wanted to "end poverty for seniors," and not because both men cannot contain their lust for power.
