Stephen Harper is Delusional

Interesting today on Democracy Now show an expert on the gun issue said Obama's much applauded State of the Union bit about how all the victims families "deserve a vote" was just a way of saying it would get a pro forma consideration and then be passed over. If so, how cynical can you possibly get? Anyway he is already letting the world down in major ways, and it has taken over four years for some of his supporters to realize it, though the disillusion set in pretty quick. How great it was, on the first election night, though! The delight, the joy of black people! So sad.

Exactly.

Obama knows the whole game now, after 5 years in office. So his chess moves are now a result of knowing what he can and cannot get done. I'm actually quite sure he even knows what he will do every single day until the next U.S. election.

That sound about right?

He is calculating, and he knows much better what he is doing that at the outset. I think you give him a little too much credit though, especially in view of his inability to put together a team that is the best possible, and his inability to get some of his major appointments through easily due to the opposition's focusing on nothing more than blocking his every move. How are you going to know where you will go if they're people out there to stop you every time?

I hear you.
Like I said, he knows the game now.
He's gonna do what he's gonna do.
Let's see if he slips up in a way that destroys everything he's stood for.
He's ripe.
But I think it's all calculated, if only for the next election.
Which means we don't have much.
The supposed "best man" isn't the best man.
Who do we look to after Obama? Yikes.

Disillusionment shouldn't be this sad.
There's gotta be more meat on the bone....

After Obama the deluge? But we always think that way. American politics ain't a very pleasant subject nowadays. Some things are good of course. We have good medical treatment if we can pay for it. Everybody has a TV and a cell phone. Poor people carry smart phones, that's for sure. And they shop, even if the carts full of goods they take away are from the Dollar Tree Store. But young people even with a decent education have a hard time finding a job. People work harder than their parents did, longer hours, for relatively less money, and less vacation time. Those few politicians who have good intentions can't accomplish much in Washington because of a Republican party shifted far to the right and dedicated to obstruction and obfuscation. Lobbyists have a power and a wealth to wield it they never had in the past. Education is in a parlous state. The infrastructure has just beren given a rating of D+ by experts. America sees far more gun violence than countries in Europe, and Canada, India and Australia, and in the individual sates there is much opposition to combating that. THe NRA, the gun lobby, is more powerful than the public and the gun industry itself.

This is America, a country in a state of perpetual war, openly dedicated to the value of torture, rendition, targeted assassinations and indefinite detention. Into this political world post Bush and post 9/11, how can you expect a "good" president?

The flaw in your latest statement is: "Let's see if he slips up in a way that destroys everything he's stood for," because he has never really stood for anything. What did he campaign on? What solid thing? There is nothing. He stood for nothing. He offerred nothing.

1. "Yes We Can"
2. “Change” versus “More of the Same”
3. "Vote for Change"
4. "Change We Can Believe In"
5. "Our Time for Change"
6. "It's about Time. It's about Change"
7. "Stand for Change"
8. "Organize for Change"
9. “We are the change we’ve been looking for. Change can’t happen without you.”
10. "I’m asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington . I'm asking you to believe in yours."

Your post is sobering.

I haven't been following Obama as you have.
My head has been lasered in on Canada's BUSH, and how much of a Delusional Criminal he is.

Politics is still a Vipers nest, full of disappointments.

You have your hands full up there.

Besides it's hard to follow Obama. He's a slippery customer. Aren't they all?

They are.


I'm taking full credit for Justin Trudeau being the new Leader of the Liberal party.
I said it many moons ago that they should start grooming him, and they did just that.
Trudeau is now Leader, and he's accusing Tom Mulcair of the same divisive politics that Harper is a master at.
It's a bunch of @#!*% . Mulcair is smarter than Trudeau, and Trudeau knows it.
The election is on NOW.
Every party is in election mode, and it's 2 years away, that's how intense this situation is in Ottawa.

I have grave fears that Harper's elite buddies will rub Mulcair OR Trudeau out within six months of either man winning the election.
I suspect that they will kill any opponent that gets in their way.
Our voting system has been compromised, Elections Canada is almost powerless, and the people are so ignorant and uninterested in who leads the country that Canada is truly @#!*% . We were a Banana Republic in 2006 when Harper won, and we remain a Banana Republic in 2013.
I'm not crying foul. I'm Raging @#!*% ANGRY.
Change our flag's colors to yellow and change that maple leaf to a @#!*% Chiquita Banana.

Anybody wanna debate me?
I've been ready for you for a long time.
Sign up and let me UNLOAD.

That sounds depressing. Let's hope Canadians will wake up and get involved.

It is.
It's profoundly depressing.

We have another problem: almost every single ethnic group here in Canada (especially new arrivals) will vote for whoever is currently in power.
They are a Major hinderance to our democracy. They do not take the time to understand our political parties. Not all of them, mind you, but the lions share of them don't. They are even more ignorant of politics than your average Canadian.
They vote, as they feel priviledged to do so, and that's great. But they vote for who is in power because they think Canada is Beautiful and almost a Utopia compared to wherever they came from. Whoever is in power MUST BE the ones Canadians truly want! Right?
WRONG.

And to head you off at the pass, I'm not racist. If I was, I would never be able to live in a city like Toronto, which is the most multi-racial, multi-cultural, Avenue-of-Nations city on Earth.
If I was racist my head would explode at all of the "foreigners" sucking up space. LOL
I love the culture here. LOVE IT. I love exotic foods and exotic foreign ladies and foreign films. So label me a racist and I LAUGH AT YOU.

I'm just pointing out that there is a big problem with our landed foreign friends who are aiming to be Canadian Citizens.
They split the vote worse than any political party...

That has to change in time. Latino voters in the US have a very different effect. They do not vote for right-wingers. But in other ways from what you say I fear that a political contagion is spreading from the US up to Canada of cynicism and corporate toadying in politics.

Exactly. Lobbying is worse here than in the U.S. I admire those Latino voters. That is the model for ethnic groups expressing a vote. UNITY

The people can do it. It depends on popular action. That's how things happen.

Disgraced Conservative MP Peter Penashue is running in a by-election that Harper has just called for May to "legitimately" win his seat in Parliament.
As far as I'm concerned, he has to pay back every dime the taxpayers gave him in salary and perks until he was found guilty of illegal campaign fund solicitation and acceptance. He has paid back in excess of $40,000, but who gives a shit?
He should be disqualified from ever running in an election again.

Guess what I'll prophesize?

That he will win his fucking seat in the By-Election.
Why? How?
Harper is a Delusional Criminal.
He will buy Penashue's victory "correctly" this time.
The Newfie voters can vote for the Easter Bunny. No one except a Tory will win.

Tory Scandal Radar is going berserk again....

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird just committed a serious sin and has just proven for all-time how unqualified he is for the job.
He met with Israeli officials this week and pissed off every single Palestinian by meeting with those officials in an off-limits part of the country.
What did Baird say in response?
"I will not get into semantics over meeting someone on which-side-of-the street"


HUH?!?!?

Semantics? Time for another file, JOHN. You have no idea what you are doing. And if you do, you don't care.
That is Dangerous and Wrong for Canada. Give Baird another file- this time something a little less prominent and far less damaging to Canada's reputation. Which is in tatters anyway...we have a massive Tory Oil Spill to clean up KIDS....

And remember that Robo-Call scandal? That scandal that won Harper the election in 2011? (among other things?)

Well, "Pierre Poutine" (a/k/a Michael Sona- 23 year old Tory campaign staffer) has been formally charged with wilfully directing voters to another polling station. He has been traced to the cell-phone fraud and we'll see what happens now. Will he take one for the team? Or will he sing like a bird about who ordered him to make those voter suppression calls.
Why doesn't the Harper government pass legislation that makes robocalls illegal?

BECAUSE IT WON THEM THE ELECTION, IDIOT!!!!!
Why would they pass legislation like that? No way! It helps them maintain corrupt control, dummy!

Also, remember: it's all about money. Not who's in power. It's about who's funding them.
"The Voter" is irrelevant.
Harper is well-funded.
Good luck unseating him.
Canada is a sad banana republic at the moment, and nobody has balls to fix it.
Sorry to ratchet up the depressing state of affairs, but it's Harper himself who ratchets it up every single day, like a Psychopath.
I just give it to you.

I can't keep up on this, but thanks for all the information.

Banana republic? What about the free health care system? That is a huge advantage over the US. Obviously the country's medical system is not controlled by private health insurance conglomerates they way it is down here.

Health care isn't quite free here. You pay by waiting for hours and hours to get seen.
We're still a banana republic, regardless of the health care.
I don't care if I'm offending anyone on this. Our Corrupt, Criminal, Illegitimate Tory government has turned this fine Nation into a banana republic.
All free health care means to me is that I don't have to get sick. And I haven't had any ailments in 38 years (knock on wood).
I haven't been to a doctor since I was released from the military.
Free health care is just insurance to not get sick, that's all.

Peter MacKay (CORMORANT PETE!) has just announced that Canada will buy more submarines. What, to augment our current fleet of 2? LOL


Justin Trudeau is now officially the Liberal Leader and Harper welcomed him to Parliament with several vicious attack ads, saying he's not qualified to be PM.


OH THE IRONY....................

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is likable, and he definitely poses a threat to Harper and NDP Leader Mulcair.
Personally, I think Trudeau is in it for himself.
He's more qualified to be PM than Harper, that's for damn sure. Trudeau has been on Parliament Hill since he was a tot.
He could be the best PM we've ever had, that's how much potential he has.

But I happen to believe with all my heart and soul that Thomas Mulcair and the NDP will provide public administration that is unmatched.
And not only that, but Mulcair, once he's in 24 Sussex Drive, will prosecute Harper and any Tory who has done anything treasonous or in the name of corruption. And only a new Prime Minister will be able to ferret that out. Only Mulcair would prosecute to the fullest extent of the Law. Trudeau would let it slide.


Here's another horrible fact about Harper:

You know all those prisons he's building?
He built them for his WIFE.
For saving his political career.
Laureen owns a company that makes meals for prisons.

I just read that Harper is very close to having a backbencher Mutiny on his hands.

Several backbench Tory MP's are extremely upset at being muzzled by Harper. They are not allowed to put forward ANYTHING unless it meets Herr Steve's approval, and apparently, nothing ever meets his approval.
And they've had enough of it.

Here's an idea Tory backbenchers:

CROSS THE FLOOR. To the NDP.
What a statement that would be!
What a BEAUTIFUL statement that would be!

What would Harper do?
He would shit his oily pants!

I will vote NDP for the rest of my life, but Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said something I agree with 1000%:
Canadians want to be LED, not RULED.
Amen to that Justin!

We would like some LEADERSHIP. Sometime this decade please. If only we can remove the Criminal PM we have now.
I can't believe Harper dropped everything he was doing this week to go to Maggie Thatcher's funeral.
Actually I can. Thatcher would be a HERO to Harper. A Conservative who Ruled with an Iron Fist...and had no testicles.
Harper loves her.
England is still feeling the repercussions of her Reaganomics Rule.
Wasn't Reaganomics awesome? LOL
Thatcher told Rotten Ronnie that she would stick by him till the end of the world.
Ronnie said he would organize it.

Glad both of those cretinous "heads of state" are fucking GONZO.
But I'm not glad my tax dollars pay for Harper to go to Thatcher's funeral. You didn't ask my permission Steve.
Don't you have more important things to do? Thatcher died in 1992 anyway, as far as I'm concerned. LOL

More proof that Harper is an out-to-lunch IDIOT:
When Trudeau was asked on TV about the recent Boston bombings, he said that we should look at the root causes of such a thing, because obviously the one(s) who did this were marginalized in some way and felt they had to do something horrible to get their anger out.

Harper went berzerko, saying that the State should NEVER look at the root causes, that we should just condemn it outright.

Right.
This is coming from a man who could BE the root cause of such an act.
Government policies create angry citizens sometimes. WAKE UP HARPER! You are a perfect example of a ROOT CAUSE.

Thatcher and Reagan together did decisive damage to our democracies, though here general shared prosperity began seriously eroding, I understand now, in the 1970's. Both are virtually canonized.

Amazing, isn't it?
"Don't Tax The Rich" earned them Sainthood.

I want to PUKE.

They were both decisive in crushing labor. For Thatcher the miners' strike was her big milestone in that area and Reagan's was destroying the air traffic controllers' union.

I forgot to mention a MASSIVE scandal here in Canada that was a direct result of Harper's government.

This is a government that says it wants to create jobs. But they left out the part that they want to create jobs for ANYONE BUT CANADIANS.
Here's Why:

The Royal Bank of Canada is now known as the Worst Bank in Canada, and all because they fired long-time Canadians who worked for them and replaced them wholesale with workers from India.
Yep, you read that right.
Not only did they fire these Canadians, they had those very Canucks TRAIN their replacements, without knowing that their jobs were on the chopping block. Next thing they know, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai has their job and they have nothing but a pink slip.

Did the shit hit the fan? Yes it sure did.
The Royal Bank found themselves in a boiler, and they put out full-page ads in all newspapers across the country "apologizing" for what they had done. Canadians were justifiably outraged and still are. I heard that they have hired back some of the workers who were canned, but the damage is done.

The reason Royal Bank did this is because of the new rules for workers entering Canada that was passed by Harper's pathetic government.
CANADIANS LOSE THEIR JOBS UNDER HARPER.
Never forget it.

These are slimy sacks of corporate shit. Harper is pure SLIME.
If his party survives the next election.......I'm moving to Siberia.

Those Tory Trudeau attack ads are on every fifteen seconds these days. It sickening.
It shows Trudeau stripping off his shirt while a shithead voice says "Justin Trudeau has a famous last name, but is he qualified to be Prime Minister?"

Trudeau was stripping his shirt off to raise money for cancer patients. They don't tell you that in the ad.
So yes, Tories will smear you even when you are doing something in the name of cancer patients.
They must really think Canadians are dumb.

We'll see come election time.
Harper is finished.
I think people are really fed up with him.
Even Die-Hard Conservatives are murmuring that they will sit on their hands in the next election.

GIANT scandal right now:

Harper's right-hand man, Chief-Of-Staff Nigel Wright paid off Conservative Senator Mike Duffy's debt (over-payments for housing claims) in complete secret.
$90,000. One cheque. Off Wright's own personal bank account.
How's that for crime and corruption? Wow that's some serious "gift" he gave Duffy there.
90 Grand. That's a lotta bread. Harper spokemen say that Duffy couldn't re-pay the money "in a timely fashion", so they paid it for him.


????????????????????????????????????


Disgraced Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau is fighting the order he has to pay back almost 50 Grand, and another Senator (Tory of course) also has to pay back the money they illegally claimed. Why does Duffy get such preferential treatment?
Is it because he's a "journalist" who could bury the Tories?
What the FUCK is going on?
Ethics violations abound with the Harper Gang of Goofs.
It never fucking ends.
Enough is Enough.
Kick these frauds OUT!

If this stuff is available in newspaper articles available online?

It would be nice to have links to some of them so we can read up on the background of your more juicy items, Johann.

I'll see what I can dredge.


This is a MAJOR scandal, and it is the top news item on all of the news networks today.
Another major scandal that received massive press was the Harper government sending letters to soldiers who served in Afghanistan telling them that they had to re-pay $1500 in combat pay, DEMANDING that it be paid back, actually.
Defence Minister Peter Mackay made a quick about-face, saying that the government "has nothing but respect for our men and women in uniform", and that they will not demand the troops to pay back such a paltry sum for putting their lives on the line.

I mean, this is absolutely shocking and sickening, what this disgraceful, CRIMINAL government has wrought.

The soldiers' "debt" is one thing that really irked a lot of Conservative supporters- to the point that some of them say they will sit out the next election.

And Peter Penashue has lost his seat in Labrador in the by-election.
It went to a Liberal. A sign of things to come?
I was wrong, and happily.
:)
BYE SCAMMER!

Huffington Post has something recent, b ut that turns out to be from The Walrus, a less-known publication no doubt. Huffington is sort of an aggragator.

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/05...n_3280764.html

Tomorrow I will be posting about this Titanic scandal in great detail, a scandal which stands to crush the Tories under their own criminal hubris.


Mike Duffy, the fat fucking scumbag at the centre of this horrific mess, has resigned from the Conservative party, as of last Thursday. The next day, fat Conservative Cunt Pamela Wallin also resigned from the Tories. Right smack dab in the middle of an audit of her rape of the taxpayers.


But the real Beaut of these resignations is Harper's Chief of Staff Nigel Wright, who quit yesterday, saying that he is solely responsible for the debacle. That's GREAT that you quit, Nigel, but guess what FUCKFACE?
we want fucking answers. NOW.


i AM GONNA UNLOAD tomorrow.....stay tuned.
This shit is unbelievable. That Harper knew NOTHING of a cheque being (politically) cut by his right-hand-man to sweep this crime and corruption under the rug makes me want to rip Harper's throat out. He knew. He fucking Knew.
No one is buying it.
Not even his dipshit supporters.

How lucky you are. If only a huge scandal would destroy the Republicans in Congress. . . and then the most entrenched Democrats. But instead it's Obama who's got a scandal to deal with, from his penchant for invading everybody's privacy and locking up whistle blowers and throwing away the key.

See below.

Yes indeed. He's got a few to deal with. Obama is a sham. I am very saddened to say that, but you can't get around it anymore.
The man is a charlatan and always was. Painful to admit it, but hey, the world sucks, don't it?
What he has done is Nixonian, and that is the LAST man you want to be compared to.


Now onto the GIANT debacle that is Duffy-Gate:




Steve Harper has shown no Leadership on this. He will not take a single question on the Senate scandal for fear of being caught in a lie, which is what he has done from day one to Canadians: NOTHING BUT LIE.

He's taking a page from Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who is also in a scandal (he smoked CRACK?!?!!?on VIDEO??)- Harper is silent.
No questions from anyone.
He allowed reporters into his caucus meeting Tuesday (for 5 minutes-what a joke) and would not take a single question on the $90,000 cheque, Mike Duffy, Conservative Senators resigning or his role in the whole matter. In fact he mentioned nothing except that he would "tighten Senate rules", that "no government is perfect" and that he is "very upset" (even though he smirked when reporters bombarded him with irate questions until they were escorted out of the caucus meeting).
I mean, this stinks to high heaven.
And Harper rushed off to Peru for a trade mission with South America on Tues. afternoon.
CBC reporter Terry Milewski (a great man) was on that flight, and Harper still wouldn't answer a single fucking question.
He left his pathetic MP's to answer questions in Question Period and John Baird was visibly at a loss for the situation.
It was HIS buddy Mike Duffy who campaigned for him on the taxpayer dime while he claimed per diems during the last election- per diems that racked up into the thousands, per diems that he claimed was "SENATE BUSINESS" when it was nothing of the sort.
My blood is boiling. Can you tell?

Duffy is being investigated by Elections Canada for violating the Law, and so is Nigel Wright, who has also remained silent. Duffy is tight-lipped too. The audit of his housing claims was halted after he "paid back" the money, mysteriously. It was a whitewash. They tried to sweep this criminal activity under the carpet, and they got caught. I would sure like to know who let it slip that this secret check was cut....
BOY DO I EVER!

in 2005 Harper gave a speech saying "If you bend the Rules, you will be Punished. If you break the Rules, you will go to Prison".
Well, that turns out to be a complete LIE, because those Senators are now INDEPENDENT Senators, they still collect their $155,000 a year salary. No one can kick them out. They were not elected- they were appointed by the PM. Why hasn't Harper had them REMOVED PERMANENTLY?
So many questions here. Nothing passes the smell test.

Harper has thrown his Chief of Staff under the bus, but it doesn't matter- Nigel made his multi-millions. He will not suffer.
Will he go to jail? Who knows. Will Duffy? Who knows. Will HARPER? No.

My man Charlie Angus has been awesome lately- he has requested the RCMP to investigate this as a crime and that elections laws were broken.

The Conservatives are once again in Contempt of Parliament. And this one they will not get away with.
Where is the Governor General?
Why didn't he tell Harper to halt his trade trip to Peru?
Why doesn't he tell Harper to give the Canadian people answers?
Why hasn't Harper (or anyone else in the Tories) APOLOGIZED???????????
Not even an APOLOGY from these sacks of shit.

This week has been rough for me.
My Mayor is a crackhead, My government is corrupt as FUCK and doesn't even apologize, and a founding member of my favorite band has died.
BYE RAY.

I'll post again later when I'm not so depressed.

Another scandal (I can't fucking KEEP UP anymore!):

3.1 BILLION DOLLARS that was supposed to go for security measures has vanished from the Treasury.
The Tories have misplaced 3.1 BILLION.

I'll say that again in case you didn't hear me:
The Tories have misplaced 3.1 BILLION DOLLARS.
They have no answers on where it went and no one to point the finger at.

Am I in the Twilight Zone?
Or is this Canada?

I was watching a Noam Chomsky interview on the topic of Obama and he said now Nixon is our most liberal president in recent times. It has all moved steadily to the right.

It was Bill Clinton who signed off on "extraordinary rendition" and the draconian "three strikes" sentencing mandate and killed welfare, ending the US social safety net.

Harper is going to adjourn Parliament early for the summer break, to "Help People Forget That This Scandal Ever Happened".

It's part of his Economic Action Plan, which was just approved for $100 million more of taxpayers dollars being spent on those pathetic ads.
He's also buying advertising ads for grants that haven't even been discussed in the House of Commons!!!!!!

Wow!

STOP. THIS. TRAIN. WRECK.

Somebody.

Anybody.

Harper is back in Canada finally, after ducking his MONSTROUS scandals in South America.
He is expected in Question Period today, even though he never answers questions.
The Tories NEVER answer anything in Question Period.
Oh they speak, but they don't answer a damn thing.

He says he wasn't aware of any "deal" with Mike Duffy, but that is a titanic lie.
Nigel Wright said he discussed "the means" of paying Duffy's fraudulent housing expense claims with Harper, so we need the truth on this ASAP.
This scandal is so bad (the worst heat Harper has had on him since taking power) that his chances of winning the next election are NIL.
Polls taken last week show that if an election were held tomorrow, Justin Trudeau would win a MAJORITY.
Why not call an election now, Harper? LOL
Would you believe a class of grade 5 students ordered Harper to stop making mean attack ads against Trudeau?
The Kids Are Alright!
It looks like this country still won't give the NDP a chance. People still think in terms of Red and Blue in Canada.
They would rather vote back in scandal-ridden Liberals over a brand-new NDP government.

Harper has looked haggard lately. He looks tired and I think he feels the walls closing in.
His party are abysmal managers, corrupt as hell, and it's catching up to them.
Conservative MP Eve Adams made the most ridiculous statement ever by an MP. She said that Harper's own personal ethics are beyond reproach.
WOW.
Somebody slap her.
People that dumb shouldn't be allowed to run in elections.
Tory toe-sucking goofs. Harper could rape a child and they'd say he was "beyond reproach".
It's so hilarious it's tragic.

Well, we've had more explosive info on the Duffy Senate spending scandal: multiple e-mails from Duffy showing that he wanted to be appointed a "Min without a portfolio" (minister with no job?? OK....) so he can get a car, perks, "more resources" and a staff.
He even asked if he should have a "One on One with Stephen"- he was on a first-name buddy-buddy basis with Harper!
It was categorically CLEAR that Duffy was out to see how much money he could pocket out of his "gigs" raising money for the Tories.
Tories haved denied paying Duffy anything. Yeah. I believe that. (NOT.)

When Tom Mulcair asked Harper in Question Period last week about knowing about Duffy's financial troubles in February, guess what Harper answered?

Mr. Speaker, I do not understand the question.


Parliament will adjourn for the summer this week.
Lucky for Harper, huh?
Will it fall off the radar like every other scandal?
Probably.
This is a Banana Republic with no accountabilty.
Read it and weep.

NOT FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH, BITCH. The Conservative party is imploding at mach 6.


A Conservative backbencher MP from Edmonton Alberta has quit the caucus in disgust. He actually said: "WE (the Tories) have morphed into what we once mocked." Amen on that one.
The Conservatives mocked the Liberals for eons for their "indescretions" and "scandals", but Holy Christ has the Tory party now embodied that Evil Government Vibe in a way that nobody anticipated.

Peter MacKay, (CORMORANT PETE!), our sad-sack piece-of-shit clown Defence Minister, is back in the headlines after it was uncovered that he signed off on a spy bill to spy on Canadians' e-mails and phone records in 2011- right after the Tories won a Majority Government.
Funny how this comes to light when the USA is embroiled in it's own spy scandal (THANKS OBAMA! YOU FUCKING CHARLATAN!!!!!!).

I mean, you cannot make this shit up. The former NSA/CIA kid who whistleblew this GIGANTIC scandal is a Hero to me.
He's gonna pay the piper big time, but guess what? He has shown THE WORLD how governments feel they have to illegally operate in this "uncertain world". What a fucking joke. Stomping on Civil Liberties is not an Option, you fucking Idiots!!!!!!

If the Government gave us a heads up, maybe we could get behind it. But no, they had to hoodwink us, do it in the shadows, and now they look like the charlatan frauds they are. Cry me a River. I'm so sick of it all.

Pamela Wallin, the profoundly disgraced Conservative Senator, has quit her post as a member of the board of a Bay Street Toronto firm for rich clowns after it was revealed that she listed her permanent home as TORONTO on their files. As a sitting (former) Tory Senator from SASKATCHEWAN, that makes her look like the GIANT taxpayer rapist she is, and she quit, like the true COWARD she always was.
Canadians are beside themselves in disgust.
People say she wasn't at fault- it was the Prime Minister! HE WAS THE ONE WHO APPOINTED HER!, but guess what kids?
She's no idiot. No spring chicken. She fleeced the taxpayers to an obscene tune. And everyone thinks it's OK. For some reason that eludes me.
Mike Duffy and Pam Wallin should do some jail time for this fraud.
Harper said you will go to jail if you break the rules, but so far, all that means is you get to collect your salary and sit as an Independent Senator.


Harper has denied he knew anything about the $90, 000 cheque cut by Nigel Wright. Cut from his own Chief-of Staff's account.
Somebody has to explain that one to me. And it's been three weeks since this scandal broke.
We still haven't seen a copy of that check that Nigel wrote to confirm where it came from, and under what circumstances.
We learned last week that the Prime Minister's Office runs a SECRET SLUSH/TRUST FUND for partisan purposes and that there is ZERO oversight on it.

The RCMP are SWARMING ON THE CONSERVATIVES as a result.

When. Will. This. Sick. Madness. END???????

Elections Canada concluded their investigation into the RoboCall scandal from the 2011 election, and they found every single Federal party guilty of doing it.
But the Tories were fined the largest fine.- a quarter of a million dollars. They said that electoral fraud happened, but the extent of which could not be PRECISELY determined-- not enough to overturn the election results.
So the Chief Electoral Officer demanded that Laws be passed BEFORE 2014 to make robocalls illegal.
We'll see if Harper's government acts.
Don't hold you breath.


Parliament has broken for the summer. Harper is hoping his party's implosion can be salvaged by September.
FAT CHANCE.
You've blown it all to Kingdom Come with your Non-Leadership Steve.
You are a bona-fide shitpump DISGRACE. You painted our version of Air-Force One with a $50, 000 paint job with the CONSERVATIVE PARTY COLORS.
No One Is Impressed.
No One.
You know your ship is sunk. The writing is on the the blank Tory wall, and you are TOAST.


2 years ago this could've been all avoided if people were switched-on in Canada, if they voted for the Great Jack Layton.. But nobody was switched on. Nobody had a clue.
Canadians gave a Majority Government to a Criminal Liar and Pack of Fleecing Fuckface Thieves.
Congratulations for being so fucking blind.

Yep, "Tory Force One" was painted predominantly BLUE, with TAXPAYERS dollars.
$50, 000 worth.
Harper has no shame.
The CBC did a Live poll of what Canadians think of the paint job, and 98% said they Hated It.
The 2% that liked it must've been Pierre Poilievere and Eve Adams, voting over and over and over...LOL
I guess Steve feels: "Why not? My goose is cooked- Fuck 'Em!"
Yeah, a Red, White and predominantly BLUE color pattern for Canada's Prime Minister's official aircraft- an aircraft that was grey with air force markings (as it is a DND airplane that does other missions for the country than just fly the PM around) painted BLUE.
Right.
Gotcha.
That's Our Flag, isn't it? Canada's flag is BLUE, correct? It's always been that color, RIGHT? LOL
It just SINGS Canada, don't it?
Sure, it serenades the Nation. It's the Conservative Party of Corruption Canada, Inc private jet.
Didn't you get the memo?
THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THE ELECTION, Flagsucker!


Scandals are rampant in Canadian politics these days.
Provincial: (Ontario Liberal gov't gas plants scandal- BURIED THE GRITS for re-election I think...)
Local: (Crackhead Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his hash-dealing tubby brother Doug- the whole Mayor's Office staff were fired or resigned in one week!
A-Mazing)
Federal: (the Criminal, Corrupt and Dippy-Dumb DELUSIONAL HARPER government)

Ottawa is a typhoon of Tory scandals, and Toronto has Conservative Mayor Rob Ford CRACK scandal, which is a never-ending sideshow that just makes me profoundly sad for the people who really love Toronto.
Our city (the Capital of Ontario) is a Real, True Global Metropolis and our Tory Mayor has taken The Big Smoke's reputation and dragged it through some baking soda and a glass stem, with no apology, no answers on the scandal, just "It's business as Usual, Folks!"
Sorry Rob. Back in 2010, I was really in your corner. I voted for your fat crack ass! ME! I voted for a Conservative because I thought you were REAL.
But you are a REAL IDIOT. A REAL EMBARRASSMENT.
Holy Fuckballs have you tarnished T.O.
Time to go tubby.
The high school that employed him as the football coach has fired him, turfed him to the turf, because apparently on that crack video he says after hitting the pipe " those kids are fucking Minorities. They won't go to school unless they have football. They come from fucked-up homes. I AM FUCKING RIGHT-WING!"- no joke. THAT is what was reported to have spewed from his fat maw on that crack video, which has mysteriously vanished from the earth. Go figure.

Is it me? Am I upsetting the apple cart in this country?
Do I have to relocate?
FLEE?

Help.
:)

Oh yeah, and remember that Tory MP from Edmonton who quit?

He said that Harper has a death-grip on the caucus and that all Conservative MP's are TRAINED SEALS.
That's coming from ONE OF THEIR OWN.
It sounds like something I'd type up on this thread of mine! Which, kind dear reader, in 2 years has racked up almost 13,000 hits- I'm amazed.

There WILL be an end to this thread. And I'm sure it will be a Glorious one.
Bear with my political rants and posts. And many thanks if you waded through my words.
I'm doing this for my country, not for my own glory. If my country was run properly, I'd stick to movies 24/7.
But this is important. More important than cinema to me. And I haven't had that conviction for something in a LONG time. Actually nothing of this size has made me motivated enough to spend many hours typing (to mainly American film buffs!) largely NEGATIVE things about my government.

But when you have no Oversight, you have no Democracy.
And you can't let it slide.
You can, but I can't.
