Stephen Harper is Delusional

Here's another prediction/prophecy from Yours Truly:

We're gonna have another election here in Canada, and we won't have to wait until 2015.
Harper's scandalous government will crumble on another non-confidence vote- even with his party having a majority.
This Duffy scandal is amazing. Who knew a fat fuck journalist could destroy the Tories?
One of their own? It's so awesome to witness. So awesome to behold.
This trade deal makes Harper look exactly like Mulroney's Tories in the early 90's: a trade deal done by a severely corrupt government of Losers.
That's probably why Mulroney himself was praising Harper's EU trade deal yesterday. Deja-Vu all over again...

I can't wait to see if Harper will go to jail or be forcibly removed from power.
Why isn't David Johnson doing anything about this scandal?
Why is the Governor General just standing around with his thumb up his ass?

Canadians want answers from the people who're paid with their tax dollars.
That alone makes Harper in contempt of parliament again. He offers no answers, no Leadership, no nothing.
He just runs away to Brussels.

Canadians know full well that HARPER is the one responsible for this whole debacle.
He appointed these "inelligible" Senators himself.
It's biting him in the ass really hard, isn't it?
3 of the most greedy, unethical (unelected) slobs in Canadian history are doing incredible damage to the Tory brand.
Funny that it's UNELECTED assholes that are bringing Harper down. I said he sure can pick 'em, and he picked doozies.
To be fair, how could he know that Brazeau, Wallin and Duffy were anything but sleazy pocket-lining idiots?
How could he know?
A skunk doesn't smell his own stench.

What we are witnessing here in Canadian politics is unprecedented.
Stephen Harper's pathetic government have just had allegations levelled against them by the 3 disgraced Ex-Tory Senators that stands to bring his government to a swift sharp end. Not a moment too soon for me.





Yesterday the 3 usual suspects (Brazeau, Duffy & Wallin) appeared before a Senate committee to save their unearned paychecks.
The Senate moved to vote to suspend the 3 idiots, without pay- essentially remove them from the Senate without due process or a hearing.
The reason originated from The Conservative party lawyers (Harper's lawyers) to get them in the clear for when the shit really hits the fan (read: Duffy, Wallin, Brazeau being criminally charged by the RCMP).

But Duffy finally grew a spine (*snicker*) and decided to hold an explosive press conference hosted by his lawyer, alledging the Prime Minister's Office engaged in wilfull intimidation, extortion and bribery to make the expense scandal "go away".
When it wouldn't go away, Duffy had to go away. Duffy balked at that (as he's "not a wealthy man"- his lawyers words) and needs to hang on for dear life to his unelected Senate post and that tasty $155,000 salary that goes with it.


It's clear what happened here: 3 extremely unethical Senators got caught, and the PMO tried to sweep it under the rug- distance themselves from the toxic Senators, one with an illegal payoff of $90,000 and talking points on what to say to the media, one by expelling her from caucus, and another by expelling him from caucus. All 3 were dispatched as liabilities with no due process.
I'm not defending them; I hate all three with a vengeance- they raped taxpayers. But they do deserve due process.

Let's see who's blackmailing whom.

Thanks for keeping us up to date on this stuff, Johann. As you know, it's not well covered Stateside, and I don't think it is in France either.

This Senate expense scandal has done irreparable damage to Harper.
He cannot and will not survive this.
His credibility is in shreds.
For the first time in his whole slimy tenure as PM he answered questions directly in Question Period yesterday. He decided that he just couldn't fob it off on his Parliamentary Secretary anymore. He had to fucking speak. Canadians were bolted to their TV's to hear what he had to say.
Once again, he lied and maintained that he knew nothing of the Duffy deal within his own office and shouted "Your darn right I told him to pay the money back!"

I can't wait to see what Nigel Wright will say under oath.


This is high drama to me.
This is Shakespearean.

Bye Bye Little Stephen Harper.................

As Tim Harper said in thé Toronto Star:

"Harper has overreached one time too many. And now all he has is Scorched Earth."

There has been some stellar newspaper coverage of this whole sideshow/embarrassment for the PM.
The Toronto Star has been on top of it and the Ottawa Citizen is REALLY on top of it.
Specifically, Andrew Coyne has written some really insightful articles that help me to figure out the truth on this.

The main thing all journalists are scratching their heads over is "why would Harper risk his whole political future on Mike Duffy?"
He must have known that this could've been disastrous for him and the Tories.
But as some writers have said, Harper's previous ways of dealing with scandal has been to "batten down the hatches and hope it blows over. A bad few days. It will play well at Tim's"
This scandal ain't like the others. This one ain't "kinda the same".
This is Blackmail. Extortion. Bribery. Lies. Coverups. Deceit. Contempt. Incompetence. from three of his own party faithful.

This scandal isn't going away. Harper's ship is sunk. When he is actually contradicted by his own former Chief-of-Staff Nigel Wright (under oath) Harper will be nothing but an 8-year disaster footnote stain on Canadian politics.

Hey Conservative supporters:

Trudeau will trounce you in the next election.
Don't think for a minute that your boy Harper and his criminal goofs stand a single chance in the next election.
They are political poison, and I think you know it.
You had your chance and blew it to Kingdom Come.
Throw all the money you want at this. Just like Mitt Romney, your big bucks can suck it.
Let real Leaders take over.
I don't think you can withstand one more scandal by your Boss.
Can you?

The HUGE problem for Harper right now is that we Canadians do not know two crucial things about the Duffy deal within the PMO:

1. What was the arrangement for Duffy to re-pay the $90,000? Was it truly a "gift" from the Prime Minister to Duffy to make him go away?
If so, then that is absolutely 100% illegal, and the prime reason we need Nigel Wright to testify under oath. We need on-the-record answers on this shit.

and

2. How was it possible that Duffy was unable to pay back the $90,000 by himself? We heard his lawyer say that Duffy isn't a wealthy man, but Duffy has ZERO savings from his 40+ years of high-paid journalism jobs? Explain yourself Mike...That means to me that you lobbied for your Senate post- you lobbied for that salaried position. And got it. Then the gravy train was halted. It turned ugly.
Didn't it?

It just keeps getting darker and darker in the PMO these days.

Mike Duffy appeared before the Senate yesterday, dropping another bombshell on Steve Harper and the Conservative party.
Apparently the whole affair was orchestrated by Stephen Harper himself.
And Duffy has the e-mails to prove it- he released a few to the media.
He made it clear that the Tories "Have No Moral Compass", and that YET ANOTHER CHEQUE was cut to Duffy by the Conservative party lawyer, Arthur Hamilton for $13,000+ to cover Duffy's legal bills. (In addition to the $90,000 he already got scott free from Nigel Wright!).

The Conservatives released a statement that said "Sometimes the Conservative party of Canada pays it's caucus members' legal bills"



CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

So right now, in Banana Republic Canada, no one has been supoena'd on this whole senate scandal.
In a sane world, everyone involved would be supoena'd and getting ready to testify. But no.
We've never been in such foul waters.
We've never had such crime and corruption flowing in our PMO.

Harper went on a (pro-Tory) radio show last Friday and said that Nigel Wright was "dismissed", when for months he's said that Nigel Wright resigned.
Surely Steve knows the difference between being dismissed and resigning on your own. Surely he knows that much. Right?
LOL

The government has no answers. No Leadership on this disastrous scandal. It is a serious catastrophe for Canada, forget Harper.
I saw this all coming way before he was even elected in 2005- there are posts here that prove it- they are all timed and dated.
I don't gloat or brag about this shit- I hate that we are in this fucking situation in the first place.
I just hope Canadians are awake now.
I hope they are paying attention.
I hope they Vote in the next election and Vote from then on.
Hunter Thompson told us: "It's the only power you have".
Use it.

This scandal is just mushrooming and mushrooming.
Must be a big downer for the Tories, what with their chest-beating convention coming up this weekend...


Apparently Harper's lawyer Arthur Hamilton also assisted Dean del Mastro with illegal dealings.
Are Canadians paying attention to this? I fucking hope so.
There should be yellow crime scene tape surrounding the PMO and Harper should be in police custody as far as I'm concerned.
Instead, we have no democracy. We only have many questions.
Where is the Leadership on this?
Where is the taking responsibility?
Where is the accountability that Harper promised us all?

He refuses to accept any responsibility for his own fuck-ups.
Is that a Prime Minister you want?
I find it incredibly odd that Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has had nothing to say about this whole mess.
Mike Duffy was his boy, his lapdog. During the entire 2011 election Duffy was right at Baird's side, spreading lies about how great Baird was.
WHERE ARE YOU JOHN???
All I've seen you do is stand up in the Commons and begin with lawyer-advised words like "To my knowledge..." "To the best of my awareness at the time...."
WHERE IS YOUR VOICE ON THE DUFFY SCANDAL JOHN?????

You Tories are a sickening disgrace.
Straight. No Chaser.

Last night in Calgary Alberta Harper hosted the Conservative party convention, complete with an appearance at Cowboys nightclub, where Steve sat behind a keyboard and sang Tom Connors' "The Hockey Game" to a sold-out crowd of Clowneriffic Conservative party faithful.

Watch that video of Harper singing. It looks like he's adrift at sea, holding on for dear life. His eyes dart around the room, seeing if his "singing" is distracting anyone enough from his monsoons of scandals.
In a speech to his party faithful he said Justin Trudeau couldn't lead Canada to a prosperous economy, that this isn't American Idol- it's the economy.
Where did Harper get the notion that Trudeau was similar to American Idol? That's rich. Coming from a guy who butchers songs everytime he opens his lying yap. Who told Harper he had musical talent? Or the talent to write a book? Or the talent to do anything but fuck Canadians at every turn? Was it Skeletor?
I wouldn't be surprised...


Unless you live under a rock, or don't read, or don't watch tv, or breathe, or do anything resembling living a life here in Canada, you know now that Harper orchestrated a massive, monstrous fraud coverup with former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy over expenses.
Our Prime Minister willfully broke the law, figuring he would only suffer some slight political damage, not actually come to the point where it would unseat him from his joke Office.

But that's what we have.
Harper is sitting in front of a firing line of Seriously Pissed Voters (and even Tory supporters!) who he treated with nothing but absolute, sheer, unvarnished Contempt. And at this same Convention Harper had the enormous cajones to suggest that he was under attack by various "Elites" in Ottawa, that "he and Laureen didn't come to Ottawa to join some elite club"- !???!-
Pardon me while I puke all over your shag carpeting Steve.
You are in an Elite Club, aren't you?
You are having dinner with them in Toronto in December- in a very Jewish part of town. Remember?
Your speaking engagement at a Jewish Dinner in December that you have booked?
Why don't you tell Canadians about that dinner and what you will be "speaking" about while there?
We'd all like to know.
We all want to know how much you distance yourself from "Elites".
We're all fucking ears.

Marathon legs indeed. That's what this Senate expense scandal has. Marathon Legs.
I'll post a link at the end of this post referring to it- a perfect summation of a win-win situation.

The Liberals put a motion forward in the House of Commons to have Harper testify under oath, which is awesome, but they chose not to vote for an NDP motion to do that very same thing ?! from weeks ago?! OK....partisan politics is rampant in Canada...
We still have no answers, nay, no TRUTH on what actually transpired in the PMO over Mike Duffy's expenses.
Steve has once again buried his head in the sand and bullishly keeps saying that he knew nothing of the deal. Nigel Wright acted alone.
Nigel went rogue.
He deceived the Prime Minister. Despicably.
The same man who Harper praised in the opening days of the scandal as a man who "has the full confidence of the Prime Minister" somehow grew horns and a tail in record time.
Somehow he became a treacherous, deceitful guy, seemingly instantaneously.
When your script goes off-script, what do you do?
We now know that there were 14-20 people in the PMO who knew about the deal with Duffy.
But Harper didn't know?
No one in that 14-20 member group gave the control-freak the heads-up? Did they have something against telling him?
Like Watergate, the coverup is worse than the fucking crime!
I'm so angry I could be charged with assault if Harper walked by me on the street. But he won't. He gets driven around in an armoured SUV. Why Steve?
This is Canada. We're nice here. Except when you fleece us like you have.
REMEMBER REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER.....................................

Conservative Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted that he smoked crack.
He's pleading with the Chief of Police (who has a copy of the video of him smoking it) and the citizens of T.O. to let him keep his job.
Another one bites the dust.


In other news,
this full-on freight train of a Senate expense scandal had a sordid execution happen yesterday.
Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau and Mike "CUFF THE DUFF" Duffy were suspended without pay from the Senate, with a majority of the Senators voting being CONSERVATIVE.
The message was clear: If you create any political waves for Herr Harper, you will face Execution. No Jury. No Judge.
Pamela Wallin said "It's a sad day for democracy when the Rule of Law cannot be found in Canada".
Yes, you're right Pam. But only HALF right.
When you were raping the taxpayers and firing your assistant for asking you about fudging expense claims, where was your respect for Canadians' Rule of Law to expect that people trusted to their higher offices are not greedy unethical slobs who're only out to line their pockets?
Notice that Wallin and Duffy are Baby Boomers? I sure do.
Brazeau is being punished for not beating Trudeau in a boxing ring in my opinion. LOL
It's a whitewash all the way. Harper thinks he's appeasing Canadians.
I hate to tell him that Canadians are getting sick of his face and his fucking lying.
People like me who've been watching him from a long ways off for years are much more than merely sick of his face and lying.
We're positively Biblically enraged at what he's gotten away with for so long with no fucking oversight whatsoever.
I think it's time for Canadians to stop kidding themselves and Wake The Fuck Up.
Look around you.
Shit ain't right.
The Conservative government just proved to the whole country that they do not care about basic rights.
They showed us in Technicolor, in fact.
Canadians may not give two shits about the Senate (and I'm one of them- abolish the fucking place) but have you taken a hard look at what has transpired here?
Canadians are not paying attention enough to who is in power and what they are up to.
It's not something you want to do every day, but Holy Fuck, if you think you're an "intelligent on-the-ball" citizen and you pay ZERO attention to politics or have never voted in your life, then I don't consider you a Canadian. Even if I totally disagree with your politics, I want you to have some.
Politically, stand for SOMETHING.

Do Canadians know that the audit into the 3 embattled (former) Tory Senators and one Liberal Senator (Mac Harb) cost more than $500,000?

Do Canadians know that Nigel Wright is a Toronto Bay Street millionaire businessman? Who has no business in politics whatsoever?

Do Canadians know that Peter MacKay has fleeced us for millions in perks and per diems and first-class flights and dinners and trips?

Do Canadians know that Bev Oda (former Tory deadweight MP) fleeced us for almost $420,000 in inappropriate claims?
(She resigned the same week she was eligible for her full MP pension- 8 years on the Hill! VICTORY LAP!)

Do Canadians know that Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has fleeced us for just as many flights and per diems and meals as Harper and his wife Skeletor? Who said this week that he doesn't even pay attention to the Senate at all, that he wanted to abolish it.
Where the fuck have you been all this time Jim? Just jacking off? What do Canadians pay you for? Trying on shoes once a year?
Eat shit you fleecing idiot!

Do Canadians know that Stephen Harper doesn't care whether they live or die?
It's time to realize it.
He actually said to Canadians at the Conservative Convention in Calgary:
"I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THE SENATE SCANDAL"

He couldn't care less.
Yeah.
I don't either Steve. I couldn't care less if you choked on Skeletor's cock last night.
The claws are out.
And I want 'Em CLEAN.

Yesterday on KPFA, Berkeley Pacifica Radio yesterday I heard a whole long list of all the incredible wrongdoing the mayor of Toronto has been discovered to ahve done, not just smoking crack.
