Mr. Manning, I assume you include yourself as one of Canada's 'elites'. I am getting very tired of this 'code word' (yet another imported from the US) to cast aspersions on a group of citizens. Kelly Leitch has tried to use it to denigrate liberals (she of the 100 degrees and two professional salaries; good grief). 

I see your organisation is now referred to as 'The Manning Centre', instead of the 'The Manning Centre for Promoting Democracy'.
