Stephen Harper is Delusional

Before I rant some more, I want to congratulate the Dallas Mavericks.
What an NBA finals!
Sending LeBron and his dream team to the woodshed!
How many Championships did the Heat say they'll win??
Huh? How many?
I have no remorse for those egomaniacs. Especially Chris Bosh, who abandoned the Toronto Raptors like a bitch.
Awesome to see him crying like a baby after the game.
Sorry Bosh. You and your buddies choked. HARD. And I'm very happy about it.
I take glee in your defeat. Normally I wouldn't, but the Miami Heat were so arrogant that they forgot they were playing basketball.
maybe next year you can try to start your seven-championship-run. HA HA HA!

But back to the biggest losers in the Universe: the Conservative party of Canada.
They just held a party conference here in Ottawa for a few days, and what a gong show it was.
I watched the almost non-stop coverage of it on CPAC.
Members of their own party asked leaders what to do and what to say when bad press confronts them, which is a constant thing.
They had no answer.
I listened in disbelief as Conservative leaders gave no advice! All they could do is say that they are taking the party in a new direction!
There was a massive protest that shut down city streets in front of the brand-new Convention center on Day 1, with natives demanding something be done about the conditions on Reserves, which is our National Shame.
Harper doesn't give two flying fucks about Natives or their rights or how they live.
He only cares how it makes him look politically.
The speeches the protestors gave were very inspiring to me, and the chants and the signs they held up for all those Conservative gawkers in the galleries to gaze at were AWESOME.
I asked a cop what was all the fuss. (I already knew what it was, I just wanted a second opinion).
He said "they're protesting against the Conservatives".
I asked why.
He paused for a second, looked at me, smiled and said "BEATS ME"
He knew why. He just didn't want to say anything that made him look biased.

I must let you all know a name here, a SLIMY name, a guy who gets ten tons of media exposure every week:
JAIME WATT. He's been around forever. In 1984 he was convicted of big-time fraud. Now he works as a strategist! Awesome huh?
This fat cat had the nerve to say to Conservative conference members who asked about Quebec that Quebecers don't understand the Conservative party, and that it was "Cracker Jack" Layton's personality that stole quebec from the Conservatives.
Holy Dogshit is that amazing! And this guy is FROM Montreal???????
Watt is a corporate drone, who lives really high on the hog. Who thinks his opinion matters.
His attitude astounds me. He thinks he's a mover and shaker. But he's only a mover and shaker of condiments, which he slathers all over his fast foods- the guy is about 400 pounds, with a turkey jowl from Hell.
I'm reminded of lyrics from Dylan's MASTERS OF WAR:

Is your money that good?
Will it buy back your soul?

HEY WATT:

Quebecers know all about the Conservative party. So you can stop that lie right now. Stop that lie dead.
They "understand" you and Harper and all you stand for all too well.
And you don't stand for Quebec. Never did. Never will.
Conservatives stand for nothing, as far as I can tell.
They say they care about families? Where's the proof? NONE.
Any "proof" you give on that is not good enough. All of your "measures" to help families have done more harm than good. FACT JACK.
You keep cutting all kinds of programs to help! You Conservatives all have sickles in your hands!
And you don't have a clue what you're doing, no matter what you tell yourselves. Trust me. I've been watching you from a long ways off.
They say they care about Health Care. Where's the proof? NONE.
They say the care about the environment. Where's the proof? NONE.
You Conservative fuckers live in the land of OZ!

The beauty of this whole situation is that the deficit that these idiots say they will kill in 4 years is gonna triple under them.
Maybe even quadruple.
I could even give them the benefit of the doubt that they'd punch it up ten times!
And then what will they say?
What will Jim "JOKE" Flaherty tell us was the reason they had to rack up the debt then?
Huh?
I got all bases covered here.
I'm watching the Conservative party like the Hawk of Hawks.
Stay tuned.

These inhuman sacks of shit are ruining the country and I'm watching every step they make.

Song about getting rid of George W. Bush, by Neil Young, but we can now apply it to getting rid of Stephen Harper.
I mean, they are the same person.
Just ask Tommy Chong.

The RCMP have launched an investigation into Tony Clement and John Baird's criminal G8/G20 Summit spending practices.
I think this is the 35th RCMP investigation into Conservative party crimes, going concurrent with the other investigations.
Nice.
2 months after the election and the winning party gets investigated by the RCMP.
When are Canadians gonna wake up?
When are they gonna realize how dumb and criminal the Conservatives are?

The NDP ARE the Government in waiting.
They will be the next government of this country.
and I'm betting it'll be in 2 years!
Yes, I'm THAT optimistic!

Seeing Tony Clement in the House of Commons on CPAC these last few days confirmed for me that he needs to be fired.
He smirks all the time, he laughs at opposition members when they level the truth at him, and worst of all, he SLOUCHES awfullly in his Commons seat. He's almost sliding under the seat! Watch how he slouches!
What a retard that guy is!
President of the Treasury?
How about President of Slouching and Swindling?
Yes. That's better.
I pray that John Baird and Tony Clement are charged with fraud and kicked out of Canada's government.
We don't need little kids in power.

Hey Baird!

Don't ya just love my brand of Rhetorical Flourishes?
I can go on and on until the break of dawn.
Word.
LOL



Baird and Clement were asked to step aside while the RCMP investigation is underway, but Stephen Harper will not reprimand his own minions.
What else is new?
Unless these fuckers are led away in chains Harper won't do jack shit about corruption. Because that's his bag. Corruption's his bread & butter, Baby.

http://ipolitics.ca/2011/06/21/rcmp-...sappropriated/

4,000 pages of redacted documents on Afghan detainees and how they were handled by Canadian Forces was released by the government today, and they are now announcing that the matter is over, no wrong doing was afoot.

Jack Layton was just on CBC an hour ago, and he wants a full inquiry. The committee that this matter was supposed to go to for review has been destroyed by Harper. He abolished the committee! The committee that was supposed to pore over these documents and draw conclusions!
There's actually over 40,000 pages! A fraction was released today. The Harper government is saying "CASE CLOSED!", when in fact the smoking gun of prisoners being handed over to be tortured may be buried somewhere in the 40,000 pages.
The Harper government isn't interested in finding out for sure.

There John Baird was again, on CBC today, saying that the 12 million dollars spent on this matter was wasted.
Funny, considering the whole thing was his government's idea.
They started the whole ball rolling on it and now they say it was a waste of time and money.
What fuckheads!
FIRE 'EM ALL.

Will this be debated in the House of Commons?
Maybe.
Will anything be done to hold the government accountable?
Not on your life.
That does not happen in Harper's Fifth Reich.

Here in Ottawa we have Parliamentarians/MP's burning the midnight oil because the conservative party is holding Canada Post workers hostage.
All night I watched incredible "debate" on the bill/legislation to force Canada Post workers back to work, after a lockout.
The Prime Minister holds the keys to the locks on the doors of Canada Post.
But he won't open them.
Why?
Because the workers want a fair wage.
Yep. That's it. Just a fair wage.
Canada Post is a Crown corporation, and it makes money hand over fist.
This inhuman Crime Minister is blocking democracy with a Berlin wall here.
Collective Bargaining is one of the things in the world that ensures workers get a fair shake.
Not only is Harper forcing the workers back to work, he's forcing them back with a wage that is LOWER than what Canada Post offered!
Un-fucking-believable!

He's telling the workers: "the economy is more important than your life. Get back to work, Bitch".
The Conservatives want to appear to their base that they are able to move with muscle, but they just look like the privatization Lords they are.
That's what this is all about.
Bless Nathan Cullen and all of the NDP for never wavering in their fight to block this stupid, draconian bill.
Nathan Cullen, an NDP MP from B.C. gave one of the best speeches last night on CPAC I've ever heard in the House of Commons- and it was around 1 in the morning when he made it! I wish I had a transcript to post here.
"The Cloak is Off the Conservative Party" was the refrain of the NDP. The Conservative agenda is on full display here.
Heavy-handed legislation that fucks the common worker up the ass.
Hey Harper:
I'd like to see you carry 35 pounds of mail for 8 hours a day, be subjected to bites, slips, falls, fractures, bad weather, etc etc etc and accept the wages that Canada Post throws at it's workers who make that Crown Corp. a shitload of money. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS A YEAR it generates, and they WILL NOT reward their workers. That's unforgivable, and it's especially insulting to be sent back to work by a team of 165 Conservatives who each make over $140, 000 dollars a year who wear nice pressed shirts and fancy ties.
How the fuck do the Conservatives sleep at night?

It's begun.
The NDP will come to power on sheer integrity.
The Conservatives will fall for a complete lack of integrity.
Just a matter of time.
The Emperor has no clothes.

Apologies to Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Today you are being given a tour of Canada's capital by Stephen Harper and his wife Skeletor.
I saw you on TV with them and I apologize.
Having to listen to idle chit-chat from two disgraceful capitalists must be torture.
I can only imagine the small talk the Harpers are capable of.
Must be like Dubya and Laura, without the folksy charm.
Harper and his wife looked annoyed that they had to host Royals today.
They don't mean all that much to me either.
But Diplomacy is Diplomacy, and Harper has to be a host.

The only positive thing about Canada Day in Ottawa is the MASSIVE fireworks at the end of the night.
Best fireworks you'll ever see (especially if you watch from the Hull Quebec side of the Ottawa river).
The concerts on Parliament Hill are usually boring, the crowds are way too big, and the barbecues on Sparks street are all from the southern states! They come up here to serve us USA BBQ on Canada Day!
Must've been Harper's idea. He must have a lot of contacts with Texan oilmen who run side BBQ businesses...
Viva Democracy!
Our Nation is $70 Billion in debt!
Our Prime Minister is a Criminal! Viva Canada!
Yee-Hah!
LOL

To be a *little* more positive, the Black Watch pipes and drums were awesome- just got back from the Hill after seeing them. Awesome pipe and drum band. I saw the Snowbirds do a couple flypasts (always cool to see the Snowbirds), hated the crowds (as always) and the weather was perfect. I mean, you couldn't ask for sunnier, breezier weather.

So many dressed in white & red...
Some things that were cool: free McDonalds coffee, Canadian Cheese, Dr. Pepper and facepainting. And free art tents of all types: potato painting and carvings, fingerpainting, Canada flag making...all cool creative activities for all.

Some things not so cool: wall to wall people (with Legions of child strollers! Holy Cow! It was an invasion of strollers & toddlers!)
6 dollars for a cup of lemonade. WTF
6 dollars for an ice cream bar. Take my wallet! I just want a damn ice cream bar!
6 dollars for a hot dog. What's in it? Caviar? Cripes.
I was waiting for them to say it was 6 dollars to enter the park and another 6 when you depart.
And another six in Celebration tax.
Jesus, being proud to be a Canadian costs you.

Another fresh scandal for you:

According to the QMI Agency, the Conservative party of Canada is refusing to answer questions concerning reports that top party officials recently received a delegation from the Communist Party of China right here in Ottawa.


WTF is this all about?
I know John Baird is in China right now as we speak, trying to "strengthen ties" with the juggernaut country.
I shudder to imagine what he's doing/saying over there.
Amnesty International is up in arms over the Conservative party refusing to address Human Rights abuses in China in any significant way.
Baird wouldn't say anything about it, except that "we had a good discussion on human rights. I can say they were frank and open".

What else can you say, BAIRD?!?!
You gotta do better than that, Shithead!
Tell us what you are tangibly doing to deal with this horrible and very serious issue!
That's what I thought: JACK and SHIT.
It's all about money, isn't it John?
You don't give a shit about human rights abuses in China or you'd make dramatic steps to show us that you do.
All you care about is the economics of it.
Glad you do.
Because it's etched on your tombstone. You earned the engraving.
You have the power and you refuse to exercise it. Canada can be a leader in denouncing human rights abuses but our current regime does not care. The money must flow before we can even BEGIN to think about that, you know. And then we still won't care.
VOTE CONSERVATIVE! We got ours, and nobody else gets theirs!
Strong, United, and Ignorant to the Core. These are our values, and they are Canada's too!

I'm gonna post the PHOTO OF THE YEAR here next. You gotta see it to believe it.
It's our Prime Minister in full Native Indian regalia, taken this week, with his face painted totally YELLOW.
It's the best picture I've ever seen of our oblivious and totally delusional Crime Minister.
It's absolutely PRICELESS.

Have a good howl at this YELLOW Bastard:

http://nationalpostcomment.files.wor...0712.jpg?w=620

Looking a little JAUNDICED, isn't he?

http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/ph...-chief-li-.jpg

It's been confirmed that the Conservative party of Canada also sent a "letter of congratulations" to the Communist Party of China recently for celebrating an anniversary. But not one Conservative will answer a question on it.

WHY?

We deserve to know why they are so chummy with Communists!
Explain this! Fuckheads!

I think your own party faithful are outraged at such a thing.
What ON EARTH does the Conservative party stand for?!


I welcome any Conservative party supporter to enlighten me.
Become a member of FilmLeaf and debate me on this batshit-nuts government we have here in Canada.
Please.
Anyone.

Helena Guergis, a woman I've defended has actually been found by a federal party to have violated the parliamentary rules of using your position as an MP to influence business deals. It was in relation to her husband Rahim Jaffer's business, and a letter she wrote suggesting her hubby's firm for a work contract.

If the RCMP cleared her then what's this? I'm not one to accept the RCMP in totem- they are frought with problems and poor officers- but this makes me do an about face- something I'm willing to do and apologize for IF I was wrong.
It appears I was wrong on Guergis.
What I was NOT wrong on was Harper's handling of her dismissal.
He threw her under the bus, pulled out her limp carcass and then smashed it again and again with ball-peen hammers until she couldn't be recognized or identified without dental records.
Why didn't he do the same thing for Bev Oda?
Who actually did something far far worse than trying to use her position to help her hubby.
She mis-led parliament and crossed out a word and added "NOT" in pen to an official government document. Then denied doing it.
Harper didn't mind that at all.
Oda must do his laundry on weekends or walks the Harper's cats. She must. How else can she keep her job and keep smiling like a doofus on the Conservative side of the Commons?
She irons his shirts! (light starch, Bev?)
She must polish Laureen "Skeletor" Harper's codpiece too, to get that kind of preferential treatment!
Wowza.

My Man Jack Layton has suffered another health setback in that a new form of cancer has appeared.

Jack is a tenacious fighter and says that he will be back in the fall when Parliament resumes.
It seems cosmically unfair, this latest cancer.
But I can tell you one thing: Jack has brought the NDP to the point of being the Government-in-Waiting, and the party WILL destroy Stephen Harper and the Conservatives in the next election.
What with the Conservatives increasing spending by 8% a year, hosting and wining & dining the Communist Party of China, having ZERO leadership, plus lies and scandals galore, you can etch it in stone. The NDP will be our next government.

Most Canadians know that Harper is a schemer and scammer.
It's just taking time to settle in to the point of changing parties when you go to the ballot box.
With the rate of time flying by these days (ask any senior!) the next election will be upon us and the NDP will be immensely triumphant.

In the meantime during Jack's break (on doc's orders) I send him massive good karma and big hopes for a full recovery.
He has more integrity than 165 Conservative MP's COMBINED.

The Hon. Nycole Turmel has been named interim Leader of the NDP and I'm so glad.

I know exactly why Jack Layton has recommended her so early in her political career.
I watched the "Midnight Hour" debates in the Commons on the Canada Post fuckery, and she stood out as a brilliant researcher and truth-levelling Machine- YES, SHE LAYED TOTAL WASTE to the Conservatives whenever she rose to deliver a well-prepared rubuke/refute.
She dazzled me with her intelligence and rational debating chops.
And she'd do it with a "you know I'm right" wink when she sat down.
Sure she's new, but damn, she's perfect to lead the party.
She could be Prime Minister before long.
Her IQ's higher than Harper's. That's IRONCLAD.
Harper didn't even show up to the Commons for any of those debates. He let his minions fend for themselves on it.
During the day, he was at a Barbecue! LOL Yes, look it up- he went to dinner at a BBQ- it's public record.
At night, he just went to bed on silk sheets. No sex- he's Conservative.
Then he rammed the bill home. Repression will do that to ya...

The NDP will be our government soon and you won't have to hear me report these atrocities anymore.
You and me both will pop some champagne on that day.
:)

Stephen Harper had quite a week. He talked about democracy (but only in reference to other countries- he doesn't know what it means in Canada), he announced that Nycole Turmel is public enemy number one, smearing her in the process, and said that the Conservatives will perform a "hat trick" with the Ontario provincial election.

He just might.
Only because Dalton McGuinty is a totally out-to-lunch politican. He could be a Conservative...I always thought he was, the way he "governs".
Harper has the unbelievable arrogance to suggest that an overwhelming number of Canadians are Conservative- and that the country is always going to be Conservative.

That's quite a fuckin' crystal ball he's got there.

Nycole Turmel has been ripped DAILY on her "separatist" ties to the Bloc Quebecois.
Funny, considering the Bloc doesn't even exist anymore.
Did these assholes follow the election on May 2nd?
Apparently not.
They were too busy sucking Harper's toes to see any political sea change beyond Harper's *narrow* majority.

The Bloc were obliterated, so any talk of separatists rests with those peeps in Quebec.
Last time we checked, Turmel is a NEW DEMOCRAT. Interim Leader, at that.
I guess these idiots can't see the huge difference between the Bloc and the NDP.
Time to educate.
The NDP is FOR ALL CANADIANS.
the Conservatives? I'm not sure who they're for, but you'd be safe in saying it's big business, privatization and certain target groups.
The Liberals? They don't exist either, as far as I can tell. No weight in that party to speak of. It will take eons for that party to rise from the ashes.
The Greens are for the environment first and foremost. But they are also FOR ALL CANADIANS.

The Ottawa Sun had a letter to their editor from some clown who demanded to know who this Nycole Turmel is, as she doesn't speak English very well, and to him that was a total disgrace.

Hey dickhead:

You ever hear Harper speak French?
Ask any francophone what they think of Harper's "FRENCH".
They'll read you the Louis Riel Act on that.
Most francos want to crawl under a ROCK when they hear Harper mangle the french language.
Chretien's English wasn't the best either.
What a lame letter the Sun chose to run.
And the reply they gave the guy?
Total chest-thumping.

Here's a beautiful (and dead-bang on) letter from Mandie Aaron of Cite Saint-Luc, Quebec, to the editor of the Ottawa Citizen, today, Aug. 5, 2011:


"Prime Minister Stephen Harper is "disappointed' by the ties NDP interim leader Nycole Turmel has to the Bloc Quebecois and Quebec solidaire party.

Christie Blachford, Don Macpherson and a growing chorus of pundits are also calling her ties and loyaties into question.
While I, too, think the regency of those past ties is questionable, I do not think that those ties call her loyalty, or that of the NDP, into question.
Once again, Harper and certain pundits are fomenting FEAR rather than fact.

Does no one remember that Harper was president of the National Citizens Coalition and said that "it's past time the feds scrapped the Canada Health Act," though he now says he supports it?
That the group lobbied against public health care and immigration?
That climate change didn't exist?
That he was a strong supporter of making Alberta, much the same way Quebec has, a more autonomous and separate province?

Harper has strongly criticized other parties for attacking the Conservative Party of Canada when he was the leader.
Specifically, he said that "the strategy- sometimes subtle, but sometimes blatant- was to pull up every prejudice about the West and every myth about Alberta that could be dredged."

It seems to me that this is the very thing that is being done in this situation.

If Harper and the media are saying that Turmel is unsuitable for her position due to her former affiliations, does this logic not then extend to the prime minister as well?"





Me, Johann: Bless you, Ms. Aaron! Bless you. You nailed it.
Let them eat it, fucking hypocrites...

Yes, all of Canada's newspapers seem to be going bonkers over Nycole Turmel being chosen as interim leader of the NDP.
So many writers and columnists getting their panties in a knot over a whole lot of nothing.

You question Turmel's "loyalty" to Canada?
What about Harper's?
He wanted Alberta to be it's own Lord.
What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander?
WTF are you two-faced cowards carping about when you say that Turmel is a traitor?
Is it so strange to your puny minds that someone born in Quebec is in SOLIDARITY with it?!?!
It's her home province, DOUCHEBAGS!
If Harper can wallow in Western Canada propaganda, ALL THE WAY TO PARLIAMENT HILL to boot, then why can't anyone else? Jerk?
Your game can be played, but anyone else? they are public enemy number one?
WHAT COWARDS.

As Turmel said the day she was selected:

I'M ON A SOLID FOUNDATION.

Amen Madame.
Let's shame these fearmongers into realizing who the next Government will be.
"Unrelenting NDP Surge" will be on their lips once again, driving them even further batshit nuts.
I love it.

Harper won't comment on the U.S. getting a credit downgrade, saying "It's not my place to comment"
Not your place?
The United States affects us, you moron.
We're joined at the hip, at least on trade.
Who supports this clown? Really?
Anyone who thinks Harper is great is a really dumb shithead.

"He's out there operating without any constraints..."

I love how he flew to Brazil a day ago on Conservative 1, his private jet with the word CONSERVATIVE emblazoned on the fuselage.
Let the Brazilians know your colors Steve!
Firm handshakes!
Bikini waxes!
and for the love of GOD try to do something with that mop on your head. Get a buzzcut. And a soul. I'd like you a bit if you did.
I noticed Harper's hair is much WHITER after the last election.
I wonder what would have caused that blanching?

Sorry, am I nitpicking?

It's allowed.

Because I read an article by some Conservative-supporting writer who said that the people of Canada love Jack Layton but not his politics, in response to his recent health problem. The arrogance and evil of that statement makes me want to kill the writer.
If you can get away with that shit (in a National Paper!) I can get away with ANYTHING.

When he was in Brazil, Harper locked himself in a federal minister's bathroom and would not come out. Why?
Simply because he wanted speeches and toasts to happen BEFORE lunch, not after, as was on the itinerary.
He also got snippy because he wasn't allowed to talk to journalists at a certain location.
See how much of a control freak this shithead is?

Can you believe it? Locking yourself in a bathroom to get your way? Apparently he wouldn't come out for fifteen minutes, shouting from behind the door!
The PMO's office denies it, but officials in Brazil who witnessed his tantrum swear by it.

Remember when he was absent for a G20 group photo because he was in the bathroom taking a shit? He missed the photo!
I know, what a total disgrace, right?
I'm not making this up.
Harper's bathroom meltdown has been reported in major newspapers around the world, and online at the Washington Post and other news sites.

How much more embarrasing can this turd blossom be?

I just found a hilarious new website, called THE BLOGGING TORIES, and the "items" they write on there are unbelievable.

Things like "Canadians didn't just vote for a Conservative majority, they voted for a Conservative SUPER-MAJORITY!"

Come again?
Put down that glass of instant idiot and listen carefully:

The majority that Harper eked out was because of this alphabet list:

A. Canadians hate elections
B. Canadians don't follow politics
C. Canadians don't care if their leaders are liars- (they've accepted it as the norm)
D. FEAR
E. 42% of the population didn't vote
F. Our political "talent pool" is mighty mighty thin
G. Harper smeared all parties for months leading up to the election with his sickening attack ads- it worked
H. The Conservatives raised more money than anybody else- that will guarantee you a victory no matter who you are

There you go.
That's why we have a Harper majority. In plain, easy to understand alphabet points! Your puny minds can be at ease.
And it sure as shit ain't a SUPER majority. Gotta stop drinking that instant idiot juice, Tories.
Because someone like me will set you straight.
I don't like willful ignorance at all.
I wanna smash the culprits who practice it with EXTREME predjudice.
I just might join their forums, direct them to this brilliant and tasty thread I have going here.
Remind them that Jack Layton got over 60 new seats as opposed to Harper's 24.
Jack pretty much TRIPLED the victory. Yet he's only the Official Opposition?
We can change that error within 4 years, I'm quite certain.

:P

I love reading the "comments" on the news that Harper threw a tantrum and locked himself in a Foreign Minister's bathroom.

Someone said "the lefties are all over this like a fat kid on a smartie.."
Damn skippy.
Harper served it up HOT! And FRESH.

Some other comments on this bizarro story (which sooooo enhances Canada's international reputation):

"He pro-rogued LUNCH! That's an ASSHOLE!"

"What is it with Harper and bathrooms? What does he do in there?"

"Don't worry about it- he's always had serious constipation"

"Steve's been known to dwell a lot on AMERICAN STANDARDS"

"Has the PMO EVER confirmed a report?"

"It takes a long time for "TOUCH OF GREY" to work. Leave Harper alone!"

"Who let him OUT?"

"You can dress him up but you can't take him out. EVER."

"Another Harper musical number! Bowel movement in C Flat"

"someone should see if this guy Harper can win a right-wing majority! Ha Ha...wait a frickin' minute...."

"this is called "Stalling"

"Harper and the economy. In the same place".

"Harper said upon emerging: LET'S BE CLEAR: I was not throwing a tantrum. I was fixing my makeup for the cameras"

"Otto von Bismarck said "Never believe a rumour until it's officially denied"

Another fresh scandal:

A widow whose husband died from exposure to asbestos has been threatened by the Conservative party of Canada.
The Mayor of Sarnia Ontario has blasted the Tories, and said that the threatening e-mail the Conservatives sent to her was "absolutely SHAMEFUL".
Mayor Mike Bradley wrote a scathing letter to the Conservatives, in reaction to the "cease and desist" order given to the woman (Michaela Keyserlingk) for using the trademarked Conservative logo in her anti-asbestos campaign.

In case you didn't know, Canada is the only western country that still exports deadly asbestos.
Her husband Robert died in 2009, and she made a banner denouncing the Conservative governments' unwavering support of the asbestos-mining industry, to get the word out.

Mayor Bradley wrote to the Conservatives:

"Your actions on the asbestos issue...with threatening a widow whose husband died of exposure to asbestos are absolutely SHAMEFUL. I invite you to come to Sarnia Lambton and see the devastating impact asbestos has had on countless lives of the people of this community and why it is morally wrong to support and promote the export of asbestos."

Harper has been an ADAMANT supporter/defender of the asbestos industry.

I'm reminded of a stinging rebuke given to the Conservatives during the Canada Post debacle from an NDP MP:

The arrogance and ignorance of adopting a "We are a majority government and we'll do whatever we want" is here in full force.
If you are priviledged enough to be given that honor by the Canadian voter, then you have to have humility. You Do.
It's almost like the Ultimate Duty, and the people who have that duty had better not have contempt.
They'd better not lack humility.

Jack Layton passed away this morning.
One of the darkest days in Canadian History.
I haven't shed tears a lot in my life, but I cried today.
We've lost a Great Man.

Stephen Harper is such a soulless cocksucker that the only thing he could say about Jack's passing was that he fought cancer with everything he had.
No shit, Sherlock?
You don't even have it in you to say that you respected him?
At the very least?
Holy Fuck.
Is it because you didn't respect him?
Maybe?

I listen to what people DON'T say just as much as what they do.
And Harper is thinly veiling his celebration at having a major political opponent out of his way.
Trust me.
I know how Harper thinks.
He's a soulless freak who needs to be put down like a dog.
God took the wrong politician.
He got a memo from Bev Oda- it said Harper is a cancer, but she changed it to Layton HAS cancer.
God took it literally.

You OWE US, LORD........

SUN MEDIA is an absolute disgrace too.
Today's "tribute" to Jack Layton was so backhanded and fucking smug I can't believe it.

Their "letter from the editor", if you can call it that, because the fucking thing never has a fucking name attached to it, says that the NDP will never recover. They will never move forward on anything with any verve, because the Leader is dead.

Jack's body isn't even cold and these fuckers have the unbelievable balls and gall to be partisan.
PARTISAN THE DAY AFTER ONE OUR BEST STATESMEN DIES!
Have no fear, Sun News.
I'm gonna remember this when Harper unexpectedly dies from bad karma coming home.
I'll smear his worthless name mere SECONDS after I hear the news.
Because our major media outlets up here are setting the finest example to me.

I'll repeat what Nycole Turmel said the day she was named interim NDP Leader:
"I'm on a Solid Foundation"
You hear that?
SOLID FOUNDATION.
The NDP will unseat these oblivious and smug zealots in 4 years.
Just watch.
The Ottawa Sun will be eating it's words. They'll be eating that fuckin' Crow stone cold. TRUST ME.

The finance minister Jim Flaherty was all over the media last week, "EASING" economic fears for Canadians.
He doesn't "EASE" jack shit sweet fuck-all for me.
He was fired, a long time ago. But he keeps showing up. Showing up and smirking, and feeding us tons of steaming horseshit about what Canada will do, pray-tell there's any more economic stife in the world.
And Lord knows, that doesn't look POSSIBLE, does it?

Holy Fuck are we in rough shape Mang.

We've been on the receiving end of shitty shit-tastic news and situations in Canadian politics for eternity.
I WANT A RAY OF HOPE.
From someone with some sense.

help.

Canadian Jewish Congress.

Do those three words mean anything to Stephen Harper?
I'm insanely curious.

Calgary Sun writer Dave Naylor is a spineless, cowardly, disgraceful sack of shit.
And so is CHRISTIE BLACHFORD, THE CUNT OF CUNTS.

Both of them need to be neutered and have their kneecaps broken.

The "writing" they both spewed about Jack Layton (merely 24 hours after his death) is nothing short of breathtakingly horrible.
Here in Canada we have writers who are so American, so partisan, so divisive, so embracing of American-style politics- remember you two clowns:
Harper learned A HELLUVA LOT FROM DUBYA.
You didn't have to become American pundits, but you did. With a fucking VENGEANCE.

Christie in particular is experiencing the immediate backlash from social media. It's awesome that people are not putting up with her hate speech.
Conservatives might construe that this thread of mine here is hate. Hate for Harper.
Yessir it is. It's justified.
Blachford's and Naylor's piss-poor potshots have no weight.
My posts here are strong enough to be brought to court!
And built on exponentially! Indeed, I'm doing so right now, as we speak!
Theirs is pathetic, juvenile and profoundly negative.

Our Nation is grieving, while the American/Conservative party of Canada celebrate and denigrate.
The conservatives and their lapdogs in the media are showing not only contempt and pettiness, but also their FLAGSHIP trait:
Ignorance & Arrogance.

Should we be surprised?
They have no Honor.
And never did.
I'm not gonna post what Blachford and Naylor said about Jack.
It's too evil and too sickening to taint my thread here.
Just know that they are not human.

I've been following Libby Davies on Facebook for the past hour (I met her here in Ottawa- she's smart and eloquent and a politician who CARES) and her posts on the casket arriving in the Hall of Honour are moving.
She says it's very solemn right now.

But the tribute to Jack on the Parliament lawn is lovely.
Orange candles burning, cases of Orange Crush soda (a symbol of Jack's massive election win), bountiful flowers and hand-made tributes.
It's hard to believe he's gone.

He'll get a State Funeral in Toronto.
Harper couldn't refuse that- if he did, he'd be the coldest motherfucker on planet earth, and the people would've demanded it from that lying scumbag regardless.
Jack deserves nothing less. Had cancer not taken him, he would've eventually been our Prime Minister.
His wife Olivia is still an NDP MP, so you'd better believe that things on the Hill will get REAL serious.
It amazes me how much the media up here underestimate the NDP.
It really does.

Even citizens- I got into an argument with a guy standing in line at Starbucks when I laughed at him saying Harper is the smartest man to ever be in Canadian politics. He angrily snapped at me: "What, do you think the Liberals should be running this country?", thinking I'm an un-informed loser.
I fired back: No. The Liberals don't exist. Didn't you follow the election? The NDP should be running this country. Because they care about this country. He shot back "Socialism will never work in this country, Buddy"
I said: It already does, BUDDY. Our health care system is pure socialism. And I don't think you'd want it to disappear. Would you?
He said "Fuck You".

I didn't reply. I just got my coffee and left. It's good enough just knowing that he knew I wasn't the guy he thought I was. Sometimes that's all I need. Because arguments with others can escalate or descend into stupid bullshit that one doesn't really need. A headache that you could've avoided with better choice of words or tone of voice...

I'm going to a favorite hang-out of Jack's tonight: Brixton Pub.
Lift a pint or two and have his favorite meal.
Seems like a good way to honor him today.

Great day yesterday.

I saluted Jack Layton's casket when I finally got up to it. It was a long wait on Parliament Hill to see him, but time didn't matter.
He suffered a lot of pain towards the end, and it's nothing for me to stand a few hours to say goodbye.
He stood for hours with a bum hip for the televised debates and never once complained about his illness.
That's a MAN.
I haven't given a military salute to any man since I left the Army in 1996.
3000+ people filed past, and another 3000 will probably do so today. Jack's wife Olivia was very gracious.
He goes back to Toronto for a State funeral tomorrow.

They say that Stephen Harper and his wife were here to pay their respects, but I never saw them.
In fact, I've NEVER seen Harper or his wife in person in Ottawa. EVER.
I've seen Jack on the street several times. I've been in the Ottawa area for almost a year now and I've never seen Harper in the flesh.
I guess I'll have to go to the public galleries more often.
I should, just to beef up this thread.
I think I could be more informative than I have been. It's worth my time to follow politics. It's important.
I've never cared about the future of this country more than I do now.
And I've never been more excited about how the NDP will move forward.
We got resolve, Boy.

Underestimate away, all you media and Conservative clowns.
Because Instant Karma's gonna get you.
Gonna smack you right in the face.

A high-school friend of Christie Blachford's wrote to the National Post saying that she always had to be at the centre of attention.

So that explains her arrogance.

She's a self-centered cunt and always was.
It's not her fault.
She was born that way, like Lady Goofball.
Her whiny suckitude is a public spectacle, not Layton's funeral.

Harper would be lucky to have three people file past his coffin, if he died.
And two of them would probably try to flip it over, and kick the corpse that would fall out.

Over 7000 people filed past Jack Layton's casket in 48 hours.
He touched a lot of people.
His legacy looms large.
And the chalk tributes at Nathan Philips square in Toronto are so awesome it's unreal (I saw a photo montage on FB).

How many chalk "tributes" would Harper ever get in T.O.?
Not a one, Buster.
If he did, it would be like bathroom stall grafitti or written by people who don't actually know what he's all about.

Another point about Harper being persona non-grata in Ottawa:

I was at the Remembrance Day service last year here in Ottawa, and Harper was not there.
He was in Korea. For what, who the fuck knows.

If there is ONE DAY OF THE FUCKING YEAR when the Prime Minister of Canada should be in Ottawa it's November 11th.
I don't care if the tags are being taken off the nukes by Kim Jong-Il- you stand at fucking attention at the War Memorial all fucking day if you have to. Especially if you are a "War Prime Minister" like Harper. You send our young men to bite the dust in Afghanistan for nothing? Then the least you can do is show up on fucking Remembrance Day. Asshole.

He had his fuckhead minion John Baird there in his place.
Could you imagine John Baird as PM?
Holy fuck Kill Me Now.

Once again Sun Media proves how utterly disgraceful they are by denigrating Jack Layton.
In another mystery "letter from the editor" today (again, no fucking name attached to it- their cowardice knows no bounds) they say:

"Let's Be Blunt-(a spin on "Let's Be Clear"- Robot Harper's most common phrase) Jack Layton never achieved anything. He never won the jackpot. He would never EVER be Prime Minister."

Um, let me be unrelentingly blunt, OTTAWA SUN:

Jack ran out of time.
You seem to forget (quite conveniently I might add) that Jack was the real winner in the last election.
Sure Harper got his majority, but it was narrow, and Jack won over 60 new seats. I don't know how many times I have to give you Henry Rollins' Kiss of the Tire Iron by repeating it over and over, but Jack TRIPLED the amount of seats Harper won.

You also like pointing out that the NDP have over 60 newbies who don't know "how it works on the Hill", and that they have no leader.
Why are you so willing to say they will never amount to anything. The election was only a few months ago- give them a little time to grow before you start running them down. You gotta give them a chance. And they'll deliver. Believe me. They know the score today.

Vince Lombardi said when he lost a Super Bowl:

We didn't lose the game. We ran out of time.

The game is still on. Parliament still exists. And the winner has not been declared yet, no matter what you say.
The real winner will be revealed in our next election, because I have a hunch that Jack's death put a lot in perspective for my fellow Canadians.
They will watch how Harper operates.
And if that fucking deficit doesn't go down, the Voter will kill the Conservative King.

The Ottawa Citizen has real writers. Dan Gardner is one of them. Everything I've read from him has been quite on the money.
Sun Media has people with opinions writing for them. Not journalists. They are not censored. They have no editor.
Kinda like this site. So maybe I should work for them. They pay peeps to have opinions. I gotta get on that bus.

Dan Gardner had a brilliant article yesterday where he pointed out how unbelievably lucky Stephen Harper has been in 8 years.
He said Harper should drop the Beatles ditties and start singing Rod Stewart's SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK.

Because as a politician, Harper has had the luck of the fucking Irish.
Look at all of his opponents in the last 8 years. He walked all over them with pretty much zero resistance.
He's had lucky break after lucky break.
The latest is having the biggest threat to his control-freakiness DIE.

The beauty of this tho, is that the NDP will have serious integrity to counter Harper's scandals. Which keep on coming.
His party has silenced scientists, made backroom deals that we don't know about with God-knows-who, and this week up in the arctic Harper has had the hugest grins and smiles I've ever seen on his fat mug. I mean, he's BEAMING like a satellite dish!

Sometimes luck runs out, Steve.....


Be careful......

Parliament has resumed.
The NDP are a little sombre (Jack Layton is missed very much) but they are VERY READY to take on Harper's Con Men.

A New Democrat Fire is Roaring right now..

Last week when Parliament resumed Stephen Harper made the astounding claim in the House of Commons that Jack Layton was his "FRIEND".

What a colossal LIAR.
Even die-hard conservatives know that's a bold-faced lie.
But they always let Harpers lies slide, because Steve's "the smartest man ever in Canadian politics".

Jack Layton was NEVER Harper's "friend"- they could have been- Jack extended the olive branch many times and is guilty of propping up Harper on a few occasions, to get his party some traction.

But Conservatives (and Harper especially) completely forget Jack's words to the Prime Minister after getting fucked in the ass for the 80th time:
"I HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO TRUST YOU NOW".

When Peter Mansbridge pressed Jack on the campaign trail about Harper's lies, Jack said "He's not telling the truth, plain and simple".
Peter egged Jack on: "So he's a Liar, then".
Jack replied: "He's not telling the truth, Peter".

How's that for CLASS?

Jack refused to lower himself to Harper's scummy level at every turn. He had bigger things on his mind.
Such as, making this the greatest country on the Earth.

I see Laureen "Skeletor" Harper is now banging the drum for breast cancer in Ottawa.
Get your goodie points now, Laureen! Henry Rollins said it. When you get old, who will give a shit about your wrinkled ass? Who will empty your bedpan? Get your goodie points while you can! Be good to people!
Damn skippy.

Jack Layton's funeral at Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto had a brilliant thing happen:
In true "Jack fashion", this was spoken: "It's about saying, HI BOB! How's things? it's about Hey Prime Minister, How's Laureen doing?"
Standing ovation for that, and even Harper had to stand up and applaud or he would've confirmed how much of a shithead he is.
His wife even looked at him during the ovation, to gauge his response. But as usual, he acted. He put on his sphinx mask and clapped like he agreed with the "manifesto" Ha Ha HA!

Harper is such a smarmy shark.
I don't care if people are happy with him as PM.
Intelligent people ARE NOT happy with him, and for extremely serious reasons.
Reason number one: HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CANADA.
If he did, his track record would prove it. And I'd shut my mouth if that was the case.
But sadly, it is not.
We've basically let an oilman run roughshod over our beautiful country/people/laws.

Kind of like a man named Bush.

I listened to and recorded the Ontario provincial leaders debates last night, and it was pretty much a gong show.
No "debating" at all took place.
It was 3 seperate people taking turns saying their piece, although Hudak (Conservative) and Horvath (NDP) both scored direct hits to Dalton McGuinty.

Some paper today said that Tim Hudak won the debate, but really no one won.
Andrea Horvath was the most lucid, the most direct, and the most courteous. She repeatedly stuck to the issues, stuck to the questions and referenced all people who asked questions by name. REPEATEDLY.

McGuinty is slick. He danced around all direct attacks. He let his tongue take him away. He spouted off so many facts and figures it boggled the mind. I consider myself a switched-on guy, and I couldn`t make sense of anything McGuinty was saying. Lord help the person watching who was just a casual viewer. They would've been lost in that blizzard of bullshit.

8 years McGuinty has been Premier of Ontario. The provincial debt is enormous. It's crippling, actually.
McGuinty had the nerve to say "I'm not saying it's all sunshine and apple pie. The debt is a concern. I won't deny that." (paraphrasing)
It definitely ISN'T apple pie, Dalton. It's not even apple CORE!
You have fucked Ontario up LARGE. And you are un-remorseful.
Student debt is massive. No jobs for students nowadays, as was hammered home by Andrea Horvath.
A degree is practically worthless nowadays. Everybody and their dog has a degree.
Some students who can't find a good job (in their field or otherwise) resort to college (and more debt!) to try another tackle at the job market.
Why go to University and get an education if all it gets you is a debt the size of a fucking mortgage?!?
You have to fight for peanut jobs with other highly educated people who are in the exact same boat?
Something's very wrong.
And Dalton doesn't care. He said he's offering a discount on tuition. Yay.
Why don't you FREEZE tuition fees? In the name of SANITY, like Andrea will do (please God let her win next week).
Students are in the hurt locker today. It's a fight all the way, and unless you are savvy enough, you'll flounder to pay that student debt off in any decent amount of time.

So glad I reside in Quebec now.
Because Ontario is being taxed to death by a man who said in three separate elections that he wouldn't raise taxes and then did it anyway.
He's saying it again! In this election!
Wow.
If the people of Ontario vote this freak-zilla back in as Premier then every single person in Canada will be allowed to say FUCK ONTARIO! as loud and as often as they want. Because those voters would be the stupidest and brain-dead peeps in all the land.
The Liberal party doesn't even exist anymore.
So checking off "Liberal" at the voting booth would be like voting for a ghost, voting for phantoms.

Wake Up Ontario....take the province back before Dalton taxes you into your graves....
