Harper has started airing nasty attack ads against Tom Mulcair. And those ads are just like the old ones we used to see by George W. Bush.
We're gonna see those ads all summer long.
The New Democrats are ahead of the Conservatives in the polls, and Harper is scrambling.
No election for another 3 years and he's just GOTTA smear the Official Opposition Leader.
Just GOTTA!
How weak is that? And last week the Harper gang was in Quebec, doing a massive photo-op: with Blue-turban Grewal, Lisa Raitt and Peter MacKay all surrounding King Steve, trying to seem like they care about Quebec. *snicker*
Wow, they really scrape the bottom. They really show Leadership, huh? It's all political with these goofs- never forget that.
They're just total political failures and always will be.
Anyone who looks at the Conservative party and feels PRIDE?
Give me your strong narcotics- you are obviously high as a Keystone Kite.
Even a little French is likely to enhance your Montreal stay.
Bev Oda has quit.
As of July 31st she is cashing in her chips and walking away with her gold and platinum-plated pension, which is what she wanted all along.
(Which is what ALL Conservatives are about. They're all about the dollars, the benjamins, the scratch!)
Fuck, it took long enough to get rid of that ugly cow.
She wasn't fired.
She quit.
What does that say about Harper? What does it say about the people who voted for Oda in her home riding?
Now she can enjoy $16 glasses of orange juice at home. Or maybe not. She probably only lived that ritzy life while in cabinet, "working hard" for Canadians. LOL
Good riddance to Bev Oda.
Ugly ain't got a home no more in the House of Commons.
NOW WHY HASN'T PETER MACKAY RESIGNED?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!
Is he taking over his Lover Bev's portfolio? Minister of Helping Poor People?
THAT'S RICH!
Wish I knew what all this is about. Woeful ignorance of Canadian politics down here.
Bev Oda is one of the most disgusting Members of Parliament to ever "serve" in the House of Commons.
She embodies everything I hate about Conservatives: self-entitlement, arrogance, holier-than-thou bullshit.
She's the one who billed us taxpayers for her $16 glasses of orange juice in London England last year- a final hospitality bill that reached into the thousands, all for her high-end tastes. And she only paid it back out of pocket when she was caught red-handed- a YEAR LATER.
This is the same troll who demanded to have a limo pick her up and shuttle her around for the Juno Awards 2 years ago.
We don't even know the final fleece numbers from her, that's how secretive Harper is.
She was given her Ministerial review by Harper about a week ago, and he told her to quit or be forcibly removed from cabinet.
She decided to make it look like it was her idea and "step down".
GOOD RIDDANCE.
Rumor is that Defence Minister "Cormorant" Pete MacKay will move to another file.
Why?
Just to have him fuck up something else beyond recognition?
Fucking FIRE his ass!
When you lie and steal and shuck and jive as much as this shithead has, you get SHITCANNED.
As soon as humanly possible.
He doesn't deserve anything except a pink slip.
A pink slip for that fishing lodge pick-up (while a Newfie kid, Burton Winters DIED waiting for a Cormorant rescue).
A pink slip for lying to us about costs of missions and the F-35 DISASTER.
A pink slip for seafood dinners and Grey Cup trips billed to us. Does anyone pay for YOUR vacation? We Canadians pay for Pete's. And Bev Oda's OJ and Jason Kenney's jet-setting to nowhere, and and and and.................
You get the idea.
These are the most abysmal MP's in our Nation.
And they are CONSERVATIVE.
Never forget it.
I hang 'em high, every single day.
Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like though Harper covered for her, he had to dump her.
I notice "Bev Oda + freeloading" gets 13 million results on Google.
Oda was protected by Harper at all times. I said it before: Why?
Helena Guergis did next to nothing wrong (as far as I can tell) and she was kicked out of the Conservative cabinet with no warning, just "serious allegations" that were never justified or discovered. She's suing him for over a million.
Bev Oda is the first Japanese-Canadian to ever be elected as a Member of Parliament.
Harper loved her, because she won by a landslide in her riding, and he killed two birds with one stone with her:
Ethnicity and a Woman.
That reminds me: Watch out Mr. Grewal! Protect your blue turban! Harper only has one plan for you! Don't do anything that brings him more heat than he's already got, which is hotter than Hades right now.
Harper HATES immigrants, which is astounding, because he knows that Canada is a foreign country down the line. The only real "Canadians" are First Nation Natives. There is no such thing as a Canadian if you want to get technical.
What makes a Canadian Canadian?
Being born here?
Then we have about 20 million immigrants who are full-blown Canadians- and they all landed within the last 20-25 years.
It's almost become a cosmic joke, having countries and nations.
The world is so small now. Everybody is pissing on everybody else's lawn.
You want to talk Generations?
No such thing as a fifth or sixth generation Canadian.
Show me what one looks like and I'll show you his ancestors.
And Harper's reforms to immigration are so breathtakingly sick and fucked up that there can be no doubt that he hates immigrants and wants to deny them every opportunity to flourish. This is not a man who belongs anywhere near the halls of power.
He lives in the Stone Age, just like his oblivious and moronic supporters.
Keep voting for the Cavemen Lawyers and Oilmen!
They screw us sooooooo good!
Conservatives love punishment.
What's even sicker over this quitting move by Bev Oda is that she has just cost us taxpayers another half a million bucks to run another
by-election in her riding of Durham.
She was on the ballot last election to SERVE THE FULL TERM, was she not?
How does it look to quit just over a year after the election? What a clusterfuck she is!!!!
How does it look for Harper's ability to appoint competent cabinet ministers?
Pretty fuckin' bad.
No Conservative supporter can look at this and say all is good.
The whole Tory team is full of fuckheads and criminals.
If I were to do a run-down on every person that serves in Harper's cabinet you'd be shocked to learn just how retarded these "winners" are- Tony Clement used to be a theatre usher- now he is in charge of our Treasury- which he looted for the G-20 Summit in Toronto in 2010 and never even got so much as his wrist slapped.
He should be charged with fraud and thrown in jail- one of the new ones Harper is building. Let Tony break that fucker in.
Tory MP's have PRICELESS backgrounds. As parasites. (Which they have perfected to a T these days).
I pray the citizens of Durham have learned a horrible lesson about voting Conservative.
That seat is going somewhere else this time. If I were a betting man, I'd say it will be an NDP candidate who wins.
The only good thing is that that chain-smoking sow of a fleecer Oda will never been seen again.
Trouble is, she got a FULL pension out of the deal. She served EXACTLY 8 years, the time needed to qualify for a full pension at $50,000 a year.
Are you vomiting yet?
Do you feel a GIANT tight, queasy, knot in your stomach?
YOU FUCKING SHOULD, Conservative supporters!
YOU VOTED FOR THIS CHICKENSHIT.
Turn a blind eye to it.
You're the best at it.
A spokesman for Harper has announced that there will be no cabinet shuffle.
Every Tory stays put.
Every minister stays where he is, except criminal Julian Fantino, who takes over Bev Oda's file.
Did I say that Conservatives never change their ways? I sure did. And there's the proof.
No one goes anywhere. Peter MacKay is still the Defence Minister.
My mind is blown.
If he was in the private sector, he would have been fired and an investigation would have been launched post haste.
His employer would have not been impressed in any way. Millions and millions of taxpayers dollars wasted by this clown's actions or lack of actions.
Veterans are getting the shaft- they were attacked in this ominous budget bill with meat cleavers.
Because there is no oversight in Canadian politics, we have Bernie Madoff for a Prime Minister and a whole host of riggers and jiggers.
Anyone who can't see it isn't paying attention.
162 scam artists and opportunists.
Don't listen to what they say- listen to what they don't say. That is how you can really understand their game.
It's an art to listen to what people don't say- the pauses between lies they read off their talking points pages.
Dean del Mastro is done like dinner.
He held a press conference (in civilian clothes) on Wednesday, crying foul over Elections Canada leaking info to journalists and how he has no way to clear his name.
Well Dean, you're right that you can't clear your name.
The reason Elections Canada hasn't contacted you yet is because they were in fear that you would destroy documents before they had their ducks lined up in a row to formally charge you. You are guilty beyond anyone's wildest imagination and I will buy a bottle of something really nice to celebrate your jail sentence. You will be made an example of. The world will see what happens to fraudsters in Canadian government- and everybody will point to you. DON'T PULL A DEL MASTRO! will be the refrain.
Fat hypocrite sack of lying shit.
You made your bed. Lie in it.
No integrity whatsoever.
Dean said that someone will have to explain themselves. LOL
Look in the mirror Tubby. You are the exact kind of scum that I want to hang like dem fruit.
In the press conference Dean proudly proclaimed that Harper was the greatest Leader in the civilized world.
Dean, they are cutting your crack with something nasty in it. Look for a better dealer.
Your brain is swiss cheese- just like that budget bill.
Don't suck Harper's cock. He doesn't care about you Dean. You're just a political pawn, like everything else in his universe.
Harper is all about Harper. Everything else is the Enemy.
I thought that things were better in Canada than in the US. I thought Canada's economy had gotten through relatively unscathed. Yet the picture seems to be much uglier than I thought. However, we know nothing down here. Canada is never mentioned in the news. I go through the entire New York Times every day and I can remember no article about this cabinet non-shuffle or the removal of Bev Oda, or her wrongdoings. If it's been there, it's been well hidden, far off the front page.
Just a nice note on the Environment regulations that Harper has gutted in the ominous budget bill, something I heard in the House of Commons by a Liberal MP before the break:
IT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH FOR HARPER. HE WANTS TO HIT A HOME RUN FOR HIS OIL FRIENDS BUT HE FORGOT THAT NATURE ALWAYS BATS LAST. HE DOESN'T GET IT. HE NEEDS TO BE SENT TO THE MINOR LEAGUES. THE BUSH LEAGUE MINOR LEAGUES.
Thanks Chris.
It's actually a dire situation right now.
Our National debt has tripled since May 2 last year and we have the most incompetent team of goofs leading us since Bush II.
It's hard to get info on Canadian politics in the USA I'm sure.
My finger is on it though. Readers are well-informed with me, even though I leave out all kinds of shit.
The basic nuggets are here. I am focused on this government implosion like nothing I've ever been focused on.
I want them all to fucking hang for what they have done.
They stole the election last year and have had nothing but contempt for Canada.
I mean, it's truly breathtaking how horrible this government is.
There is no man on the planet who can stand behind this government unless he is directly profiting from their actions.
Anyone disagree?
Debate me.
Put me in my place.
Make me see the fucking Light.
When I Google "Stephen Harper" plus "NY Times" not very much comes up. The Times "archive"on this topic is slim. The most recent article is from mid June it seems, a blog piece about tar sands. http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/...=stephenharper
If I go on the New York Times's own website, which I have full access to because I'm a subscriber, "Bev Oda" brings up no articles from this year. They don't seem to have covered her resignation or scandal at all. It's in the Huffington Post. I don't see it (online) in any major US newspaper. It must be there somewhere, but I can't find it.
I think the Huffington Post is the only news source that covers Canadian politics with any degree of integrity.
The New York Times can hire me to write for them if they want. LOL
I'd have to check my swing tho.
But for the right salary, I can be an Angel, politically correct, erect and commanding respect.
Ha Ha HA
