We learned yesterday in the House of Commons that the Conservatives have just been served their first search warrants by the RCMP over the Robo-Call scandal. Hope they find those shredded documents! Word to the Mutha!
It was BEAUTIFUL to see Dean del "Hypocrite" Mastro's head almost pop off when it was revealed.
He still kept repeating that the Con-Men are NOT under investigation. The Official Opposition just laughed hard and read off the ridings that have been issued voter call list demands and scripts from the Conservative War Room.
Conservatives and their deaf, dumb and blind supporters are gonna be eating some serious crow.
You thought you could get away with it, didn't you?
The Conservative party will be made an example of for all time.
They are about to feel the full blunt-force trauma of what happens if you try to de-fraud the Canadian public when they put 100% trust in you.
I thought Cons knew it already- the Liberals WERE that party, now it's the Tories. How much do they suck balls?
As much as a lawyer climbing into a Cormorant from his fishing lodge, that's how much.
What a spectacular flame-out.
What amazing flourishes of incompetence and sheer contempt. It will do you in everytime...
You want to act like a King of the World with zilch to back it up except greed and ignorance?
Then you can start a show with Kevin O'Leary, not think you are fit to Lead a Nation as Awesome as Canada.
You can live in a fantasy capitalist world with Kevvy. We don't want you.
We want Leaders that we can point to and say THAT'S MY Prime Minister!
THAT'S MY government!
We want giant surplusses so we can lift every single citizen up and be the envy of the world.
To say we live in the most democratic Nation on earth, with the best of everything: health care, quality of living, city infrastructures, the whole gamut. And we can have it. We can do it. we have the will. We just don't have the Leadership. We have clownshoes.
But no worries.
The noose is tightening faster and quicker than you can say:
"Bill the taxpayers for my $16 glass of orange juice. Let them eat cake. I'm a member of parliament in a corrupt majority. FUCK 'EM".
This is the most beautiful political implosion the world has ever seen.
And when it's all over I want a Pulitzer for this thread. LOL
Maybe Chris can put in a good word...:)

6 brand-new spankin' Tory scandals:
1. Industry Minister Christian Paradis is being investigated AGAIN by the Ethics Commissioner. How does he not get fired? EASY:
He's one of only two Quebec MP's in Harper's cabinet. Without him, no Quebec whatsoever for little Stevie...
2. The Tories claimed extraordinary credit for lowering emissions when it was Liberal Ontario's coal production reduction which is what did it. The Tories took full credit. Ontario alone is responsible for lowering those emissions. Tories never mention that.
3. Peter MacKay & his lover Bev Oda are still on the payroll. I know this isn't new. I'm just flaming turnip angry that it's still true.
4. They said they would never open the abortion debate. Then they opened it yesterday. Liars down the fucking line. Pure theatre.
5. The Auditor general testified again before a committee this week, confirming for all to know that the Conservatives knew the full cost estimate of $25 Billion for the F-35 in 2008. They fed us lies for breakfast lunch and dinner on that one. Never mentioned a peep before, during or after the election.
6. The PMO has been served more search warrants and a top official in Harper's cabinet has been implicated in the Robo-Call fraud scheme. It went all the way to the top.
BY CHRISTMAS HARPER'S GANG IS GONZO.
Thanks for the help in writing this thread, Hunter.
I miss you Man.

I don't really consider myself an actual journalist because I'm not paid, but I feel I'm pretty damn close.
I've broken a lot of this stuff by my lonesome, before most media.
IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BE CONSCIOUS.
You'll never lack for the big picture...

Yesterday in Question Period Harper rose to give Canadians a History lesson.
He said that the NDP didn't support World War II, that they voted against fighting Hitler.
WHOPPER OF THE YEAR nominee. Hands down.
The NDP didn't exist until 1961.
Harper thinks Canadians don't know the truth or can't google what he says in 10 seconds time.
I can't wait to see that fucking CLOWN in handcuffs and in the back of a fuckin' cruiser.
BOOK HIM, DAN-O.
-
Julian Fantino and Andrew Prescott's names have been leaked as connected to this scandal, among others. Look it up! READ IT BEYOTCH!.
Matt Meier, CEO of RackNINE is also mentioned in the warrant- RackNINE was the intermediary- not the culprit.
RMG is also mentioned. The search warrants are online now for everyone to see: Bell cellphone records, Rogers law enforcement records, it's all coming down HARD.
I LOVE IT.
Julian Fantino was a Police Commissioner at one time.
Maybe he's like Sterling Hayden in a Classic Francis Coppola film from 1972?
Just asking.

I went to Parliament Hill yesterday to see the gong show in person.
What did my wondering eyes see?
John Baird, in a New York Rangers hockey jersey, in PARLIAMENT. And this man was born in Ottawa boy and girls.
Wow. Foreign Affairs Minister. Wow. New York Rangers fan. Just wow.
He made a bet with Hilary Clinton. Lost the bet. He bet on the Senators.
Senators are a good team, but I will level some criticism today at the team. Sens fans have to face facts. Ottawa is a Cup contender, but with rich assholes like Jason Spezza not taking it seriously, we're never gonna win.
And as long as that fucking perp Harper keeps sitting at the games, you are CURSED.
His mere presence in the arena means the Sens have to lose. The karma is so black..
One night Spezza lights up the ice, playing like he's the greatest player since Gretzky. The next night it's like he's not even on the ice or even in the fucking building. Sorry, I know everybody loves Spezza, but face it. He didn't even TAKE A SHOT for how many fucking games?
How much were you paid Jason?
How much?
This is the best hockey I've seen in a while, the Spezza notwithstanding. Real grinding hockey, with passion. I love it.
Daniel Alfredsson is a Great Captain. Love that guy. I've seen him jogging around Ottawa- his brother is an Ottawa police officer- just a great spokes model and team captain. That goal he scored in that last game- FUCKING AWESOME. Just a Howitzer from the blue line that sailed through every Ranger jersey on the ice and intothe back of the net. Boo Yah Keshah. That's how you score. On target and with gunship power.
Come back another year, Alfie. And tell the coach to trade Spezza. We're not getting our money's worth with that guy. He can survive on his watch endorsements and such.
OK, back to Parliament. Security was tight- I set off both metal detectors due to the steel toe boots I wear. I got the full cavity search. (just kidding). But they searched me well and good. Took my coat, told me to not touch the railing when I leaned over to look into the House of Commons. Respect the House.
John Baird was there, being very animated while talking to fellow MP's. Then he stands up after an NDP member gave great speech about seniors poverty in this country, talking about those ridiculous and creepy Tory ads about elder abuse. They ARE the elder abuse. How do they allow it to exist for one more day in Canada? Is this the stone age? The Tories want it to be. Baird stood up and said he was listening when I watched him for about 15 minutes gab to the Whip. I laughed out loud.
Cutting OAS and raising the retirement age to 67 from 65. Wow. Does your base agree with that, Harper?
Are they rich as fuck so as to never need OAS to supplement their retirement income?
May I remind Canadians that Harper announced he was cutting OAS in DAVOS SWITZERLAND.
AFTER THE ELECTION.
Don't EVER let him dupe you again.
The Conservative party is no more.
I guess they really believed in the Mayan 2012 world ending-thingy-ma-bob.

I smiled when I first entered the public galleries because the first person I saw in the House was my MP, Nycole Turmel, listening to her fellow NDP colleague give his speech.
She's a treasure for this Nation.
There were hardly any MP's in Parliament, most of them leave on Thursday's if they live in far away ridings. It's mainly the locals on Fridays, and Question Period was done in the morning- Great to see Dean del Mastro flipping his Jew-fro wig over the search warrants. He denies any exist.
Keep dancin' that dance, Dino!
Hustle Hustle Hustle...
The debate was on abortion yesterday, and it was pure Tory base-pandering. Harper said he'll vote against his own backbencher who put forward this motion, so you know this is pure politics, and pure theatrics.
No one in his cabinet gets to wipe his nose without Harper's approval.
No Canadian believes otherwise.
He swore up and down he would never open the abortion debate and then he did, like a chess move.
Burn in hell Bitch.
The Prime Minister of Control Freakiness let a BACKBENCHER create a debate out of thin air on something you said you would never touch?
Whew!
You're a work of Art Steve.
And these Tories sure do think they are swanky swanky SWANKY.
Guess what else I witnessed in the public galleries? A Tory MP, an old hag of a woman- never seen her before in my life. Dirt blonde wig- deep creases in her face- she called a Parliamentary Page over to her seat. The young girl nodded, and left. She came back minutes later with a glass of water with LIME SLICES in it!!!!!!!
I was like, IS THAT WHAT PAGES DO? bring lime water? Holy fuck.
This is a classy place. LOL

I just got back from Parliament Hill.
I witnessed another gong show Question Period, where the Conservatives stood up and gave no answers, every single time.
They had their scripts, and they were not allowed to deviate from them.
Peter van fat fuck Loan just laughed and snickered and pointed at each MP he wanted to stand up and spin the shit for questions. Harper wasn't there. He was probably talking to his lawyers on how he can un-screw what he has wrought by illegally Robo-Calling Canadians and stealing the last election. That's my best guess, anyway.
I witnessed Peter van Loan yawn three fucking times, and I saw 4 other Conservative MP's yawn.
Are you bored in your job, fuckfaces??
We can fire you if you like.
You stay sober and on the ball in the House of Commons, you sacks of shit!
And don't put your feet up like you're in the dugout in a baseball game, PETER MACKAY.
I saw you do it for the entire time you sat in your seat, NOT RISING to say anything about your fuck-ups.
Why were you texting on your Blackberry the whole time?
Yes, I'm the guy who locked eyes with you up in the galleries. You saw me glaring at you, burning a hole through your empty head!
I also glowered at Jim Flaherty, who was also laughing and cackling like he was at a craps table in a casino.
Tony Clement seemed unnerved by me- he kept looking up at my angry mug staring down at him- all MP's can clearly see the people in the galleries- we are close to the action. I put bolted eyes on these ridiculous Tories for the entire session- never blinking. (Being a former soldier, I know how to put my eyes on a bulkhead and not move 'em).
Peter van Loan also ran his fingers through his hair, picked his nose, and chewed his fingernails- is this proper behavior in our House?
Tom Lukiwsky also picked his nose (quickly) and bit his nails a lot- isn't biting your nails a sign one is nervous?
I can't accurately call the game unless I'm close to it, so I made a deal with myself to go to the public galleries more.
Watching it on CPAC is good, but you don't get to see the WIDESCREEN picture, like Peter van Loan pointing at which MP he wants to stand up and lie, pages bringing rich Tories glasses of lime water, or the mocking gestures that all Tories make towards their fellow MP's across the aisle- which is despicable.
Stay tuned to this thread. It will end with gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh.

Environmental regulations have been completely GUTTED in this Conservative budget.
Oversight has been completely removed. And they want this budget to pass immediately. They have projects that need to go ahead now, while Harper's still in power. Pipelines need to rip up the earth asap!
They also put scores and scores of items that should have been separate pieces of legislation, legislation that a FINANCE MINISTER should have no say over. By putting 62 items in this gigantic brick of a budget, Parliamentarians cannot debate it in the House. It just sails through with no consultation. It is an absolute affront to parliamentary procedure. They also rammed through limiting the time allowed for debating. Tory Finance Secratary Shelly Glover stood up and had the balls to list off the last ten years' records of time allowed for debates.
NDP Linda Duncan (of Edmonton-Strathcona) stood up and put her in her place: "IF THOSE ARE THE LAST TEN YEARS RECORDS, THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 6 OF THOSE YEARS. SO DON'T TALK ABOUT BEING SHORT CHANGED ON DEBATES. IT'S YOUR GOVERNMENT".
Cormorant Pete stood up and lied even more, trying desperately to save his ass and his job.
He had his feet up again, as per normal, mocking the NDP at every turn.
The country is watching, Pete.
I heard through the grapenuts that Pete wants to replace Harper as Prime Minister one day.
It will never happen, Pete. You can forget that. Trust me.
I also happen to know that you were offered a backbench position by Harper and you were insulted, that you flipped your wig and refused to take that backbench seat. You flipped out and told him that you BUILT the party, not Steve. He told you to simmer down and said he won`t demote you.
Word gets around this town, Pete.
You just have to know someone who knows someone and BAM!
you have ammo.
I love the fact that I'm just a talking head on a computer and not an official media journalist.
My powers of perception are stronger. And I say that with no ego.
I'm also not making shit up as I go along, which the Harper gang does every day- the most dangerous thing a government can do.
Because once it starts, you can't stop that train.
Just like this thread.
This thread won't be over until the Conservatives are Long Gone and made a full example of to the whole world.
The games they play are sick, the arrogance and elitism is foreign to Canadians- we don't know where they picked it up or whose cocks they sucked in order to feel that they could behave in such a way to the people who pay them their wages and vote for.
I can't conceive of being given that Honor (THE ULTIMATE HONOR AND DUTY to be 100% accurate) and acting like a rich douchebag who can doody on anyone in his orbit.
I can't conceive of something so sickeningly contemptuous and vile.
Shit like that must be excised with a surgeon's precison...
-
We have a lead into who "PIERRE POUTINE" is/was.
The man who used the same computer as Pierre in the Tory campaign office in Guelph is ANDREW PRESCOTT, and the CBC showed us a nice montage of photos of Mr. Prescott, one big one with him being hugged by Harper, who is grinning from ear to ear with a big thumbs up to boot.
The only thing the Conservative party said officially Friday was "We will not comment on specifics".
OK...
What WILL you comment on, Sultans of Transparency? *snicker*
This is the best development so far. I thought it would take until next year sometime, but no, Elections Canada has traced Pierre Poutine to the Conservative campaign office in Guelph.
Thousands and thousands of phone numbers of non-Tory supporters were transferred from the Tory database and used to make zillions of fraudulent calls, calls with them saying they are Elections Canada and that your polling station has changed.
Someone is going to jail.
The question is who.
Will Andrew Prescott go quietly into that good night and take the complete fall?
We shall see what kind of circus this becomes.
Harper knew.
Top officials knew.
So the Government of Canada is a lie.
They were not elected by the Canadian public, as I had predicted during my gonzo reporting of the election last year.
We have an illegitimate government. It should fall very very soon over this outrageous scandal.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said the Tory majority will be the shortest-lived in political history, and that he is ready to Lead Canada back on a track of sanity.
Liberals also smell blood in the water- they held a snap scrum at the Ottawa Convention Center to tell their supporters that they are ready for new ideas and re-juvenation as we all move quickly toward a new election that will be called as soon as the Conservative party is stripped of it's power.
Hallelujah. CRIMINALS ARE GETTING THEIR DUE.
Hey Tories:
Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You?
-
-
Oh yeah, and the Parliamentary Budget Officer (Kevin Page) just told Canadians on Live national television Friday that the Conservatives deliberately misled Parliament with their cost estimate for the F-35. He said they wanted the cost to appear lower than it actually was- PRE-ELECTION.
Hey Harper: you're gonna learn the hard fuckin' way that you don't play politics with the public purse.
IT WILL BURY YOU LIKE THE WORM YOU ARE.
It's a beautiful thing, watching you Burn...
Squirm and twist your way out of this, Bitch.
I wanna see it.
-
I've noticed that the Tories have started using the NDP's party name a lot in the House of Commons.
Fearmongering again, as they know the Conservative party is disintegrating and they have to get the word out that the NDP are the Government-in-waiting and they are "BAD".
LOL
Flounder away, you sacks 'O corrupt shit.
I love it when arrogance feels the heat and gets slapped around by logic.
Obfuscation is the order of the day. Smearing is also de rigeur- Tory MP's by law have to smear the Opposition whenever they stand up- no matter what truth bazookas were just employed and successful by the NDP.
Lobbyists have met their match: THE CANADIAN PUBLIC.
The United States and their citizens may allow lobbyists to run roughshod and get away with it to the point of crippling Washington, but Canada won't. We nail those fuckers as soon as they appear. We still may not be behind the 8-Ball on some of 'em, but at least we know they need to go and we're working on it. It sucks that the Government welcomed these shitheads into our Sacred Parliament, and it sux that we have to waste time that should be used for running the country to rooting out criminals.
It's such a catastrophic boondoggle that one could sob for days.
What a Victory it will be to see the allegations turn white hot with manifest criminal culpability.
Right now they are red hot.
We're just waiting for flashpoint- internal combustion- a supernova of whip-snap Tory implosion.
All Canadian media are hesitant to report the news of the search warrants and the Guelph riding news we just got on Friday.
But I'm not.
Consider yourselves INFORMED here at FilmLeaf.net. Old Johann gives you the straight shit as soon as I know it.
Readers are in the loop with me, because I'm so passionate about getting rid of the Harper cancer.
I don't go off half-cocked. I go off fully-cocked.
Because I never want to hesitate pulling the trigger on assholes that I despise.

MY POEM TO HARPER:
Evil.
Over-funded.
Jerks.
Liars.
Frauds.
Schemers.
Empty Promises.
Empty Rhetoric.
Ridiculous Photo-Ops.
Bad Hair.
Bad Manners.
Bad breath- John Baird has bad breath.
Oblivious. Rude.
Ignorant. Blind.
Greedy souls and bankrupt intellects.
American Wannabes: is that a crime a Canadian can commit?
A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT?
Member of Oil INC. (One of 163. Take your seat please)
Canada doesn't exist anymore, thanks to you, Conservative party of Oil.
We are a Banana Republic and you Lead us nowhere.
You are lining your pockets and passing legislation that you don't even ENFORCE.
It's all a game to you. You laugh and joke in the House all the time. That's the proof that it's all a game to you.
What's so funny? Why the charade?
You don't fool me.
And you don't fool the NDP.
You actually are fooling your own supporters.
To see just ONE Tory supporter with his jaw open in disbelief when the party collapses will make every word I wrote here worth it.
Sorry my poem doesn't rhyme.
Neither does the actions of Harper.
To Steve, with Love.
-
Some sobering news today:
A MAJOR problem we have here in Canada is that even though a Prime Minister can be found guilty of all kinds of infractions and lawbreaking, he can NEVER BE IMPEACHED.
We have no laws on the books for that. Not since 1848 (in England) has such a thing even been considered.
What it means is that Harper can basically do anything he wants and he won't be removed.
The only way he can be removed is if he was found DIRECTLY responsible for a criminal act, and then a whole slew of "procedures" must be rolled out in order to get to the heart of the matter. And with the KING OF OBFUSCATION Harper, that can and will take EONS.
The Governor General can remove a PM, but it will never happen.
The GG by law has to suck the Prime Minister's dick. So you can forget him removing Steve.
Only the people can get rid of this shithead.
And with the Canadian people so vastly oblivious of politics, they just vote however their ignorant heads' wish.
This sucks so fucking bad...
It's so terrible to know that we might have to wait the full 3 years to see this soulsucking turd and his gang of retards booted.
THANKS CANADA.
YOU GAVE IT TO US.
Don't mind me calling you stupid!
Most of the time you do rock.
But on this one, you suck just as bad as the Tories.
WORD.
You bought it, you WEAR IT.
Shut your mouths.
-
Tories have totally amended or outright destroyed previous legislation in this budget.
And a budget is no place for amending anything.
A Finance Minister is not permitted to change legislation without the blessing of the House.
"Flaherty the Fleecer" just jam-packed all kinds of oversight removals on all kinds of things in this budget and hopes everyone nods and votes "HELL YEAH!" on raping Canadians in favor of lining his pockets and those of his rich buddies.
The absolute worst thing we could ask for from a government is happening right in front of us.
The Opposition is still uncovering hidden bombs in this budget- 7 days is definitely not enough time to review it, let alone debate it.
7 DAYS!?
To look at and debate a document as gigantic as this?
Thanks Hitler!
In 1994 Harper stood up in the House of Commons and cried serious foul over a budget having too many parts- parts that should be separate legislation. The CBC showed the tape of him standing up and being absolutely indignant about that budget.
Oh How Times Change, eh?
That's ironclad proof he is no longer a "Conservative". He's an "Oil-Servative", a puppet and big oil cocksuck.
I don't have to say anymore about it, actually. This man is the biggest hypocrite in the history of Canadian politics, and his minions have followed suit.
Every Tory has sold their soul.
Good luck explaining that to your Maker. I want to be there when your soul is extinguished. I'll savour it like nothing else.
You have no excuse. You towed a party line that was manifestly evil and Anti-Canada, no matter what you say.
Again, I'll repeat: when Harper was in Opposition, he was stark-raving mad that a Liberal budget had too many items in it.
He said that it strips Parliamentarians of the ability to do their jobs.
Now that he's in power, he sees the political wisdom of doing something like that. He likes the idea that he can ram through a budget that is 35 times thicker than the one he was talking about in 1994.
BURN IN HELL YOU SOULLESS FUCKHEAD HYPOCRITE.
-
If only George W. Bush had choked and died on that pretzel...
If only Stephen Harper was barred after being found in contempt...
The NDP are NECK AND NECK with the Conservatives according to national polls.
Tom Mulcair has extremely impressed Canadians with his performance in the House of Commons.
Ever since he was named NDP Leader, Mulcair has demonstrated that he will be the next Prime Minister.
He looks it, acts it, embodies it.
Tom was criticized as a man quick to anger, "the incredible hulk" was his moniker for a while, but Canadians have never seen him flip his lid since becoming NDP Leader. But Harper? He throws tantrums in front of foreign dignataries, embarrassing the Nation, locking himself in bathrooms and not coming out. You'd expect that from a 2-year old, not a Prime Minister.
Tories are becoming very sloppy too.
6 years in power, and they are losing it.
Every day I tune into CPAC to watch the House, and every Tory I see yawns, picks their nose, seems absent-minded,has a previously well-written talking point screed that they never deviate from- in fact watch how often they look at their talking points pages- they don't even know what they are saying! They slip up all the time and have freudian slips. They even said the words "Conservative MINORITY government" when referring to themselves. I saw them do it three times in the last few months. They were a minority gov't for so long that it's ingrained in their psyches! It's still burned into their cerebral cortex's!
PATHETIC.
Canadians are smart, but this charade with this bogus criminal government has got to end. And soon.
Give us a Hail Mary, Lord.
We need one bad.

Scandal #819:
Harper has hired a PRIVATE SECTOR lawyer to defend him against his lawsuit by Helena Guergis.
Why?
Is a federal government lawyer not good enough?
They are qualified to handle this, why is Harper making the taxpayer pay for his legal case when he can have a free lawyer?
Charlie Angus said yesterday that this raises another flag.
How can we be assured that that lawyer won't ding the taxpayer for WAY MORE than he would be allowed?
PURE CORRUPTION. HANDS DOWN.
And look at the lawyer he hired: ROBERT STALEY of Bennett Jones.
He's like the Johnny Cochrane of private sector lawyers.
This makes me sick. Abuse of power at all times.
When will it end Lord?
-
Have we ever had a Prime Minister who divided the country like Harper has?
NOPE. NEVER.
He's turned our country into Canuck against Canuck, just like Bush made Americans Vs. Americans the norm for 8 years.
TREASON.

Check this out:
Type in "Stephen Harper" at this website, the Urban Dictionary. They have nailed what Harper is for all time. Read all entries!

I typed in "Johann" just to see what would come up.
Good for a laugh..
I might even order the German Johann beer stein.
What a RIOT!

The Conservative party has flat-out refused to separate the "Ominous" Budget bill.
They said today that it must pass immediately, without delay.
The NDP has stated that they have several options open.
One of them will be employed to stop this madness.
BANK ON IT.
Fascists will fucking pay.
Polls re: the Robo-Call scandal are being taken all across the country- signed petition polls in fact, to be delivered to the Governor General at a later date- to ask Canadians if they want:
A) Criminal charges to be laid against the Prime Minister
B) Criminal charges AND a new nation-wide election
C) No charges- just a new election
-
Something I didn't know but didn't surprise me:
"Bend the Rules, you will be punished.
Break the Law, you will be charged.
Abuse the public trust, YOU WILL GO TO PRISON."
Who said that?
Stephen Harper.
In 2006.
When he took power.
In reference to the Liberals.
The Irony...
THE FUCKING FASCIST SHITKICKIN' IRONY is off the fucking charts children....

The big rally in Chicago against the war-mongering alliance of NATO meeting there,with a long line of decorated veterans of the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan throwing away their medals and giving impassioned declarations of why and who they're dedicating their action to, found on Democracy Now yesterday, is very moving. You will find it here: http://www.democracynow.org/2012/5/2...ar_us_veterans
-
I saw it Live on CBC. I was very proud of those former troops.
If I was sent into that permanent war zone and came back (and I could have), I'd toss that Afghan medal too.
(It's an ugly one anyway- for an ugly unwinnable war).
That country is TRIBAL. There will never be any "democracy" there, and if there was, I would hate for it to be like the joke ones we live in here in the West. I know 5 guys who died over there personally. I served with them in 1PPCLI. I can imagine what they would say. And it wouldn't be good. It would be something like:
"I DIED FOR NOTHING. I DIED FOR STEPHEN HARPER'S LIES. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN SHED A SINGLE TEAR FOR ME OR MY SACRIFICE".
Harper just announced that there will be no more boots on the ground in Afghanistan by 2014.
Right.
We've heard that one before. In 2006. Then in 2009. Then in 2011. And this year, he says "no more" with finality.
Right.
This "war" has been going on longer than both World Wars combined. And we achieved nothing, despite what the bigwigs say. We achieved a lot of death and destruction and we threw a shitload of money down the toilet. And Canadians had the appallling gall to ship a whole Tim Hortons restaurant to Afghanistan to "comfort" our homesick troops. To serve them a double-double on the base. It made me sick to my stomach. I know they want to feel Like home, but Jesus Christ is that arrogant.
That would be like Afghani troops fighting on our soil and then they send over "Akmeemee's Heroin and Chip Truck" to make those guys feel at home.
The arrogance of it far outweighs the goodness of making troops feel homey.
I think the NATO protests have made all Leaders think twice about what the fuck they are doing.
When you have soldiers who fought there throwing their service medals at your feet, then you need to check your fucking headgear.
You didn't fight in that "war". You just sent in the Best to do the Worst and still have no fucking plan.
You are incompetent.
All around that fucking table.
Until you strap on a flak vest and lock and load, don't play politics with something so serious.
Pull out just like you pulled out of Vietnam. And make definite note of how much you duplicated History, you fucking idiots.
-
More scandals raining down:
Defence Minister Peter MacKay deliberately lied to Canadians last year when he told us on National TV that the Libya mission that Canada took part in would not cost any more than $50 million.
Well we just got the final bill for that "excursion" and guess how much we taxpayers are on the hook for?
$357 MILLION.
A top DND General held a press conference and said that MacKay knew full well that the mission would cost "over $100 Million. He would have had that cost estimate before the mission was approved".
This cocksucking goof must go.
And as soon as fucking possible.
He is misleading us at every turn.
I want to know what it takes to be fired from Harper's front bench. What crime does a man have to commit before he gets removed?
What is the exact nature of MacKay's relationship with Harper?
Does MacKay know something about Harper that could destroy the Conservative party and he's blackmailing Steve to keep his post?
I SURE DO WONDER, BOY.
And I saw Peter Mansbridge's ridiculous interview with MacKay's trophy Iranian wife last week- what a spin job!
She defended her hubby to the teeth! Did Mackay order her to do damage control on his behalf?
I think so, because MacKay needs all the fucking help he can get to keep that job he is so woefully underqualified for.
His smart yet profoundly stupid wife laughed and joked during the whole interview, which creeped me out, because she was there to talk about her book that she wrote on Iranian human rights abuses.
I hate to say it sweetie, but you aren't doing a damn thing to help your people.
You married a scam-artist silver-spoon fed Canuck and you both live high on the hog.
Listening to you carp about Iranian human rights abuses was like watching Satan weep for the homeless.
(Harper weeping for the homeless, if that clears things up).
I found out from the Toronto Star that MacKay was born into wealth too.
He was born self-satisfied and self-entitled. That explained it all to me.
He has very refined tastes, and he likes to make taxpayers pay for those refined tastes.
I am one man who will never let you off the hook, Pete.
In fact, you can't calculate how much I want you dead.
Like Henry Rollins said once:
I stabbed him so many times in my mind, that when I finally left the scene, I SLIPPED IN HIS BLOOD.

So you served in the 1 Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry? I had to look up 1PPCLI -- I never heard of it. That's too Canadian for us Yanks to know about. I served in the US Army but got only good out of it, not counting the wasted time. Evidently it's part of the whole program that we don't get to see body bags or coffins draped with flags since Bush II and there's not much talk about all the wasted lives and broken men and women except on programs like Democacy Now!, not in the mainstream media.
For the general picture I'd refer people to Chamblers Johnson's Blowback trilogy and Gore Vidal's book Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got to Be So Hated. He saw it back in 2002. That was when the became completely clear, and the scale of it.
-
Yes, I was a Patricia in the 90's. I got out in July 1996. My Regimental coin number is 6650, for anyone in now.
I was in Charlie company in the First Battalion in Calgary- Currie Barracks.
I don't talk about it much because I'm not particularly proud of it. Those days are ancient history.
I wasn't a model soldier, but I got an Honorable release. I knew I didn't belong in that Army.
A soldier isn't supposed to think too much about what he's doing. I thought too much and I realized it was not for me.
Once upon a time I was gung-ho. Now I'm pretty lazy. LOL

13,000 Canadian websites have blacked themselves out in protest over Bill C-38, the GIGANTIC "ominous" budget bill that lying thieving Tories have tried to slip past us Canadians.
Employment Insurance changes are in fact illegal. It is the property/money of those who paid into it.
The government is not allowed to change E.I. legislation, to get Canadians back to work or otherwise.
Yet that is exactly what the Tories have done.
They have also passed back-to-work legislation for the SIXTH TIME, ending a legal strike by CP Rail workers after only 6 days.
Minister of Labour (Whatta JOKE!) Lisa Raitt said ONCE AGAIN that this work stoppage harms the economy.
Right.
Your batshit insane government is doing far more harm to the economy and the environment than any labour union.
Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, Lisa. Go back to Dairy Queen, where you used to work before you were an MP, Bitch.
You're much better suited to serving soft serve than heavy-handed back-to-work legislation.
All those rail workers wanted was their pensions protected. A sword of damocles is hanging over their pensions, and the government sided with the company.
KILL 'EM ALL.
Scandal # 4227:
The government has ended the inquiry into the F-35 boondoggle. Committees are not allowed to investigate further.
You draw the conclusions on that one. Hiding something? Try hiding an ELEPHANT.
This budget bill is the most serious affront to democracy this country has ever seen.
It rips our Nation up into pieces. It cuts it into ribbons, and all with one fell swoop.
How long will it take for Canadians to realize that this government has done irreparable damage to our very way of life and continues to go full-steam ahead on ignorant and extremely ill-advised legislation that only makes money for their rich friends?
It takes me a nanosecond to do that.
A friend of mine said something great: "Don't get too worked up about it. Sometimes the country needs to experience a traumatic series of mistakes in order to wake up on the government. If they are forcibly removed in the next election, IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT. Right?"
-
I wish I had all the time in the world to post items and link to stuff related to this criminal government, because I have actually left out all kinds of scandals, all kinds of reprehensible Tory behavior.
The Conservative HQ had a severed human foot delivered to it's doors 2 days ago. Harper's big aide opened the package and was (understandably) horrified by the grisly find and the whole Tory headquarters was overwhelmed by the stench of rotting flesh from the box.
I don't know how much this murder is politically motivated, but the Liberal party was due to receive a human hand in the mail, we were told by police. To me, it's a definite reflection of how much the government is despised at the moment.
There is a manhunt on right now for a man from Montreal.
Minister of Human Resources (an absolute oxymoron title in her case) DIANE FINLEY has been standing up and lying in the House of Commons for months and months about how the Cons have created 700,000 jobs in 6 years. The Opposition hammered them in QP yesterday, asking the Tories if they ever did the math on how many of those jobs still actually exist. (!)
Because they never factor in the 3 million jobs LOST OR CUT by proxy by the government.
Do they think Canadians are stupid?
Yes.
The short answer is YES.
They think no one is paying any attention to their fuck-ups.
I Am, Tories.
I am and you don't even know I exist, do you?
I am a figment of your imagination, aren't I?
KEEP IGNORING ME. You make me a legend. LOL
Conservative MP David Wilks (a Tory backbencher) was filmed in his home riding, talking to concerned constituents in his riding about the Huge Budget Bill that the Government is trying to sneak by us all.
He told them point-blank: "One MP isn't going to make a difference in opposing this bill- we need 12-20 Tory MP's opposing it in order to instigate changes to it. We are told what to do and we are expected to do what we're told "For The Party".
So there you go. One of their own has told the whole country what it's like to be a Tory MP under Harper, and if you disagree with a policy, too fuckin' bad- you vote how you're told Bitch, or you'll get the same treatment as Helena Guergis! And don't try to sue me over it either- I'll get my own Johnnie Cochrane to fuck your ass up! And I'll bill the taxpayers for my legal bills, because I'm the biggest fuckhead in the history of Canada!
Now go get me a $16 glass of orange juice. And send for my limo. I got chests to shit on.
I am Harper, HEAR ME ROAR.

Scandal number 7721:
Bev Oda is fleecing us taxpayers again.
And she still has a job. Who knew?
It was revealed yesterday in the House of Commons that Oda's webpage as an MP CHANGED THE FINAL COST NUMBERS for all of her offical business trips for last year. Did she think no one would notice?
Charlie Angus noticed, and he read the riot act to Tories yesterday in Question Period.
He called out Harper himself, asking what happened to his promise of accountability in government?
Harper just ignored My Man Charlie and let Peter van Fat Fuck Loan read off a one-sentence reply about Oda's reasons for changing her expense claim numbers on her website. It was a bright-red flag rocketing up that flagpole again...."CORRUPTION" thru and thru...
How much are they fleecing us?
We don't even know.
But you can bet your $16 glass of OJ that it's a lot of dinero, muchacho.
When Tom Mulcair becomes Prime Minister, he will restore Honor and Integrity to Government, which has been missing in action for 40+ years.
He just visited the tar sands in Alberta, and he told us yesterday that the scale of the size of the tar sands is incredible.
A handful of NDP MP's took a helicopter tour of the tar sands, and they only saw the NORTHERN TIP OF IT!!!!!!!
It is MASSIVE!
No fucking wonder they want pipelines to rip up the earth and environmental regulations GUTTED!!!!
Look at the size of it!
We don't have to ever pay for oil here in Canada, and Harper is making himself and his cabinet a SHITLOAD OF MONEY ON THIS PROJECT.
The tar sands are artificially inflating the Canadian dollar, and it hurts our own manufacturing sectors in other provinces.
Harper does not care because he's for Alberta all the way, despite being from Toronto.
Amazing how much he sucks his wife Skeletor's dick in the name of a buck...
Harper is perpetuating Dutch Disease.
That's our PM- son of an Imperial Oil accountant.
I don't care if you agree with me or not. What I'm saying is the absolute truth.
We have Capitalists in Government, because they have deep pockets.
Kevin O'Leary said yesterday that Canada will never elect an NDP government.
Oh yes they will Kevin.
Don't ever second guess a disgruntled Canadian voter- especially seniors and front-line workers who are getting the shaft long and hard from the Tories.
Mitt Romney won't win, Kevvy. And Harper will never win another election in his life.
Your two best pals for Capitalism are GONZO.
Hell will be a crowded place, won't it?
All those greedheads....All those psychopathic capitalists...it's bound to be hostile.

Scandal # 11182:
While in Davos Switzerland for a fancy conference last year, three Tory Ministers (Tony Clement, Peter van fat fuck Loan and Jim "THE FLEECER" Flaherty) hired Lexus cars to drive them around the tiny town, a town so tiny and small they could have walked.
The bill was $23,000.
We just found out yesterday in the House of Commons.
My Man Charlie Angus said we got ZERO, absolutely no bang for our buck with that expense.
23 GRAND!?!??!
For three days to shuttle criminals around a tiny foreign town???
You assholes are paid a shitload of money!
You can't open your own wallets and pay for it???
You just HAVE TO bill the taxpayers????
Were you shuttling between Swiss banks to and fro? You rich goofs?
When will it end Lord?
The shitstorm just keeps on blowing hard....

And that Robo-Call noose is tightening like a motherfucker on Tories.
Elections Canada just confirmed that they will be spending in excess of $285,000 to investigate this fraud scheme.
They have already spend over $100,000 on it, and they will spend almost $300,000 to get to the bottom of it.
I cannot WAIT to see how this unfolds, because I know that the bastards are guilty as fucking SIN.
I want Harper in jail.
I want all of his fuckhead minions to pay the hard way for this absolute affront to Democracy and Reason.
They knew their backs were against the wall during the last election, and they had to resort to dirty tricks to win.
Lord knows that Harper is so dishonest that he wouldn't hesitate to perpetuate voter fraud to win at all costs.
I saw his short interview with Peter Mansbridge yesterday in London England.
He said he never reads the Canadian papers or sees Canadian news, because he "would go crazy" if he saw them.
He said he only reads American news and that his staff prepare news briefs for him.
THIS MAN IS FUCKED BEYOND BELIEF.
He knows nothing. He admitted it.
He ONLY follows USA media.
He admitted it to us on Live National televison.
What more do you need? He's an idiot through and through.
And anyone who voted for him is an idiot through and through.
WATCH THIS POLITICAL IMPLOSION WITH ZEAL. I AM. AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
HOW LONG, O LORD? HOW LONG UNTIL THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT?

BEAUTIFUL NEWS:
Dean del HYPOCRITE Mastro is an even bigger hypocrite than previously thought. He may be the biggest hypocrite of the Tory bunch, but that title is hotly contested by so many douchebags...
Dean is under investigation himself by Elections Canada for election fraud.
You heard me right: the guy who stands up as the WHITER THAN WHITE attack dog against opposition questions on election fraud is being investigated himself for that very thing.
What did Dean-O do to be under investigation you ask?
Well, he wrote a check for $21,000 to a research company (the now defunct HOLINSHED) for his private campaign in Peterborough in 2008 and did not report it to a SOUL.
The check was actually written from del Mastro's PERSONAL bank account, a violation of the law.
Elections Canada hadn't even notified him yet, and he flew like Superman to the set of CBC's Power and Politics to defend the allegations. (POORLY).
He rushed onto the Power and Politics set lightning fast to explain himself, but he did a terrible job- later on The National showed a replay of his response and everyone was scratching their heads. He dug himself a much deeper hole.
I told you this man would be the biggest jackass ever in the House of Commons. No one believed me.
Today in Question Period (which I just watched Live) there were 5 different opposition MP's asking why del Mastro isn't removed from his position as Parliamentary Secretary to the PM until the investigation is complete. del Mastro wasn't allowed to speak on his own behalf- Pierre Poilivere spoke for him, but he actually didn't- all he did was say that the NDP were found to have taken illegal donations from unions in the last election campaign.
Wonderful mud-slinging, eh? What a beautiful House we have....
I'd love to have a minute alone with Pierre Polivere, give him the beating his daddy should have given him.
Maybe then he wouldn't be so smug and slimy and utterly repulsive.
He's just a total slimeball to me, an arrogant one too- like most Tory MP's.
I wouldn't even want a CONVERSATION with a Tory MP.
I'd lose it and smack the shit out of them in 30 seconds. I'm not a violent guy, but I'm not lying when I say I want ignorant people to suffer.
No one in Harper's cabinet will be fired. EVER.
They say there will be a cabinet shuffle in the summer. Bev Oda is rumoured to be turfed, but so was Peter Mackay, and he still sits on the front bench for the most dismal Defence Minister performance in the history of the cosmos.
Harper is meeting with the brand-new French President today, giving him lectures on economics, which is priceless.
This Prime Minister never fails to meet with foreign Leaders but has NEVER met with Provincial Premiers in his own country to give them a heads-up on ANYTHING HE DOES. They hear about his plans after the fact, after the devastation of bad policies and bad decision making.
They find out long after the fact how much the Feds downloaded onto them, fiscally and emotionally.
I wish we could just teleport all Conservatives to another dimension and leave them there. Leave them there wondering how they will form a new batshit insane government without any oil resources and people to suck on like the parasites they are.
This government wants to be fired. They are asking for it LOUD AND CLEAR.
Let's do it.
Let's give them what they are begging for.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay's photo-op at Lockheed Martin for the F-35 procurement 2 years ago cost taxpayers
$47,000 we learned yesterday.
47 Grand blown to kingdom come just to have this dipshit sit in the cockpit of an F-35 and have his mug splayed all over Canadian media as a "Defence Minister with Moxie"
Liberal MP and former Canadian Astronaut Marc Garneau blasted MacKay yesterday in Question Period, asking:
We all know the Defence Minister likes to have his picture taken on big photo-ops for bogus things. I can arrange for him to go to Houston Texas and climb aboard a space shuttle. I can even have him LAND the thing- for free. I'll even throw in a trip to Space Camp. All the Minister has to do is NEVER AGAIN charge the taxpayers $47,000 for nothing.
MacKay's reply was priceless: "I know that the Liberal member is soooooo bright and sooooo intelligent, but his joke falls flat".
No it didn't Pete. I howled so hard at that brilliant rebuke. He brought you down to reality, asshole.
Sorry you didn't like it.
Garneau replied by standing up and asking MacKay the exact same thing, only this time in French.
(He's even throwing in a trip to Space Camp! Free! Sign up Pete! IMAGINE the photo-ops you could do!)
Pete just muttered that the joke is just as funny in french as it was in english.
Damn right Pete.
You're a Winner.
The National had a SCATHING and INCENDIARY program on the Department of National Defence last night, and how they run Ottawa- lobbyists lobbied for the F-35 and we don"t know how much the Conservatives pocketed to push hard for that fucked up jet.
Former General Rick Hillier was profiled as well as his connections with well-heeled lobbyists and how procurement contracts were awarded in a process that was not fair and open. And STILL AREN'T. Due to the lobbyists who have Tory MP's by the nutsacks.
Any Tory supporters want to join our forums and debate me?
No you don't.
Because I got Big Guns and Big Truth on my side.
This criminal government is just marking time until they are turfed.
Every step they make is a step in the wrong direction, and they are being called on it every nanosecond by the opposition.
Watch it and weep.
Tories are the Living Dead.
Maybe I should write a script- a Canadian Politicians Zombie movie...just change the names...John Baird would be the Attack Hound zombie, Tony Clement would be the shifty, thief-like zombie, Peter van Loan would never stop eating brains, James Moore would never stop eating brains, Dean del Mastro would never stop eating brains (they are all VERY PLUMP, you see...LOL), Jim Flaherty would be the zombie who never stops trying on new shoes and mutters "Economic Rape Plan...jobs...growth...rape taxpayers..grrr...Economic Rape Plan..."
You get the idea.
It would be a graveyard smash!

Well, at least I think the Canadian Parliament is wittier than the US Congress. They're actually up to some sarcasm and irony. It's a hangover from the Brits. Congressional sessions tend to be humorless and verbose.
-
The British Parliament is something to behold. And not in a good way.
Every now and then CPAC shows a re-broadcast of the U.K. Question Period here in Canada, and your head will explode watching that.
The Prime Minister (David Cameron, who just left his young daughter at a pub yesterday- what a fucking WINNER) leans on anything he can lean on to stand up and reply to a question. I saw Cameron insult a Member by calling him a Muttering Idiot in the House, which is clearly unparliamentary, and the Speaker of the House said so, told the Prime Minister to retract his remarks- but the PM just ignored the Speaker. I found that insane, but after what I just saw today in the Canadian House, I know why.
The Speaker of the House has no real power, I learned today.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May (a former lawyer and long-time public servant) put forward a point of order on this ominous budget bill, stating that it has no main theme, that it has items in it that do not belong in an ominous bill. The Speaker (Andrew Scheer) ruled today that the bill is in order, and that past rulings on omnimbus bills state that the Speaker should step aside and let the House decide whether or not the bill is appropriate.
With a Majority government, guess how the House decides?
We are fucked.
To CANADA: Remember what is happening here. Never forget it.
This government KNEW how the Speaker would rule- that's how deviant they are.
Never underestimate how political Harper is.
Never underestimate his capacity for raping democracy.
He is gonna tie up the robo-call fraud in the courts as long as he can too.
Have your ballot ready to cast in 2015 FOLKS....
