It's good and necessary to have models but you have to speak ultimately with your own voice, which I think you do.
I'm sure the testosterone is lurking somewhere waiting to come back into rock music. Just hang on there. Funny a guy who took a woman's name bewailing the femininity of new musicians though.
More news about Bev Oda:
She smoked cigarettes in her office and it drove her staff crazy. She had an air purifier put in her office (installed at taxpayers expense) but the smell was still rancid. She could always be seen outside Parliament having a ciggy before Question Period, her hands shaking. Then, immediately after QP, she'd be at the same spot, to light up another, relieved that that ordeal is over again for another day.
And always with her dark sunglasses on too, looking very shifty. A photographer snapped an infamous photo of Oda, looking like a thief with something to hide, butt in her yap, shades on, on the lookout for the po-po.
I'll try to find a pic and post it so you can see what your average Conservative Minister looks like outdoors.
Said Pic of disgraced sow Bev Oda
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is STILL a big bag of hammers these days.
He posted an online petition on his webpage and he CONGRATULATES HIMSELF on a job well done.
It's amazing. A petition he created by himself congratulates himself for his fucked up immigration file.
Do Canadians know just how stupid all Conservatives are?
If they do, they are turning a big blind eye to it.
And this week in Calgary Alberta for the Stampede, Harper declared that Calgary is the Best City in Canada.
Who says Mulcair is divisive?
Harper is Leading the Charge!
He's not even from Calgary- it's only the oil headquarters and Conservative cesspool of the whole Nation!
He's a die-hard Leafs fan too. What planet does he live on???
It's a legit question.
In an unscripted moment of funky dumbness, he professes his preference for Cowtown, a city that I was VERY happy to leave in 2002.
There is no city more "business" or "corporate" than Calgary. Or more Redneck. Or more banal. Or more profit-driven.
Toronto is an oasis of culture compared to Calgary, and Harper is from Toronto originally.
What a traitor. What an oil whore.
Helena Guergis' lawsuit is being heard in an Ottawa court today.
Harper's lawyers say that it is not the courts' decision to say who stays in government cabinet or not- it is "Parliamentary Priviledge", and he says her case has no base.
Can you BELIEVE this shit?
Parliamentary Priviledge? Are you kidding me? So if a member of cabinet lies and steals and rapes the taxpayers it's "parliamentary priviledge" too??????
Are you saying you have cosmic immunity from anything and everything!?!?!?
Holy Fucking Dogshit this asshole must hang.
I hope he gets taken to the cleaners big time.
It's like a guy said on Yahoo:
If Harper got pulled over and charged with DUI, he'd call the bartender a Liberal and smear the cop for being dead-bang on, while crying "Executive Priviledge!!!!"
Defence Minister Peter MacKay has blown his file to Kingdom Come.
The procurement of 1600+ Army trucks was halted at the last minute -LITERALLY!!!- when the Treasury Dept. (Tony Clement- that Muskoka Fox in the fuckin' HENHOUSE) found out that the price of those trucks jumped to almost double the $430 million pricetag.
Literally MINUTES before the final bidding ended on the contract. A Day ago.
TELL ME WHY PETER MACKAY STILL HAS A JOB.
TELL ME WHY HIS DEFENCE FILE IS SO OUT OF CONTROL.
MacKay has no grip on the defence file if DND can balloon the cost without you knowing it whatsoever (and have bids go down to the wire).
NO ONE IS FLYING THE PLANE.
help.
Yes indeed, Pete has no control whatsoever on DND.
He is supposed to be the oversight.
Himself.
The Minister of National Defence is the Oversight Man for the entire operation.
How did he not know that the cost for those trucks was double and why did beaurocrats at DND say that they were going to ask the Treasury for more money AFTER the bidding was over?
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THE DEFENCE DEPARTMENT?
Why do they feel they can do anything they want, no matter the cost?
Who's head belongs on a fucking PLATE?
Peter MacKay's, that's who.
I want that fucker behind bars.
He has no clue.
NDP Defence critic Jack Harris said that this is yet another example of military procurement run amok, and Peter MacKay has a LOT to answer for here. You just wait until September when Parliament resumes. MacKay will be hung from a yard arm.
HOW MANY SCANDALS DO YOU FUCKING NEED CANADA???????????
HOW MANY?
Are you awake?
Alive?
Aware?
Do you see this shit?
Right before your damn eyes?
Peter MacKay was handed a "Layoff Notice" by one of his own department's unions yesterday.
It was Awesome to read that.
A rep for the Union of National Defence Employees handed MacKay the notice when he wrapped up his photo-op announcement in Victoria B.C.
"We thought we'd give him a taste of his own medicine" said Union President John MacLennan.
"We want him to see how it feels to get an affected letter".
Bravo John.
Your union are my new heroes.
MacKay is a first-class Fuckhead Clown without a clue.
Nail him to the wall at every opportunity.
And guess what Kiddies?
WONDERFUL NEWS TODAY!
The Federal Court ruled yesterday that a lawsuit aimed at overturning last years' election results can proceed.
Conservatives wanted the case thrown out (obviously) but the integrity of our democratic electoral process is at risk, was at risk.
Public confidence has been shaken badly, and the lawsuit was deemed VERY appropriate, "Far From Frivolous" was the actual words.
Let the House of Shams and Scams and Robo-Call fraud fall down.
Let it begin.
Let's clean out some ROT.
It seems like in Canada the people are fighting back hard and having some success.
Yes indeed.
People are fighting back. People are waking up.
This was front-page news today in the Ottawa Citizen, along with the news-to-me-and-you-both that DND has set up secret overseas bases in SouthEast Asia, Europe, East Africa and the Carribean.
How come we are just learning about these secret bases, PETER MACKAY?
How come?
Mr. Transparency?
Do tell.
You should clarify for non-Canadians what DND means, otherwise they'd think it is Drag-and-drop or Dungeons and Dragons.
Oh, I got scandals to tell you. I've left out so much...
Have you heard of Omar Khadr?
He's a Toronto-born kid who was arrested in Afghanistan and accused of killing an American soldier. They said he threw a grenade (when Omar was a child-solider) and they sent him to Gitmo, where he's been for what seems like eternity.
The Harper government has done nothing to have him return to Canada to serve the rest of his sentence, which the Supreme Court basically assumed Harper's gov't would do- two years ago.
We've had Romeo Dallaire and top U.S. Generals give urgent press conferences -HERE IN OTTAWA!- to yell at the Harper government to fulfill their obligation, to stop dragging their feet, and return him to Canada. Public Safety Minister Vic Toews (internet spy Master!) says he doesn't have all the facts of the case, which is the biggest crock of horseshit ever shovelled by an MP.
They know this case inside and out, and the Military officials at Guantanamo Bay have said forever that Omar is NO THREAT TO ANYONE, NOBODY, that he's actually level-headed and a nice kid.
The Harper gang wants nothing to do with this case, but they just look like unconstitutional assholes and pricks by not moving on this.
If they can do it to him (he was born in Toronto remember!) then they can do it to any citizen.
It isn't about Omar anymore. It's about being a Canadian citizen and how the government treats you, or CAN treat you.
DND is short for DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE.
But you could call it dungeons and dragons and you wouldn't be far off....
Another fresh scandal:
DND is trying to defend the fact that a Griffon helicopter was used for a fishing trip recently, not for any operations or any military exercise whatsoever.
A fishing trip.
Right.
Was it at Peter Mackay's fishing lodge?
Just asking.
These are YOUR tax dollars, Canada....
And ANOTHER WHOPPER of a DND scandal:
Canada's Chief of Defence Staff (General Walt "Numpty" Natynczyk) has racked up over $1 Million in VIP military flights (not commercial airline flights) since 2008.
What does he do? For Canada or anyone else?
Where does he go?
How is no one accountable?
How is no one fired?
Stephen Harper has turned down a meeting with Provincial Premiers FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR.
He's a fucking moron.
Period.
Oh, yeah, the Conservatives also spent 2.5 MILLION of taxpayers money on a monument to attract Chinese business and tourists. It's in Tony Clement's riding of Muskoka Ontario. That's right. I said TAXPAYERS MONEY.
They never asked a soul in this Nation if they could or should do it. They just did it without asking us.
And a Chinese oil firm is buying one of the biggest ones we have in Calgary- the biggest oil swap between China and Canada since, well, never.
HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH OF HARPER YET, CANADA?
Let me know when you have.
Americans should note that Forbes magazine and the Republican party have been meeting with Treasury Board President and "COO: Chief Operating Officer of Canada"-(their words, not mine) Tony Clement to find out how the Conservative party runs things here in Canada, which they seem to believe is running smoother than a baby's bum.
When the U.S. Financial Elites are looking for pointers and tips and policies from the most abysmal financial managers in Canadian history,
THEN THEY ARE SOME SERIOUSLY HURTIN' UNITS! Wow!
Did you see the biggest Freudian slip in U.S. History last week?
Mitt Romney had some family lined up on a stage, with t-shirts spelling "ROMNEY" but one of the kids was out of place, and the t-shirts spelled out "MONEY" instead of Romney.
Actually, it was a doctored image. But truer than if it really happened. :)
Yeah.
Elect Mitt Romney.
His scandals will dwarf Dubyas.
Dwarf 'em like an ant to King Kong.
And about Tony Clement:
He was just cleared of wrongdoing by an Ethics watchdog in Ottawa, but not before being sternly warned about abusing his cabinet status.
Harper never fires any Ministers for ethics violations, everybody knows that, but the appearance of ethics violations is enough to throw a cabinet ministers' career in question. He will be hounded forever by this. (the G20 Gazebo-Gate).
Now he should be investigated for the Chinese monument spending. How much did he pocket in that scam/rape of the taxpayers for his home riding of Muskoka?
I'm waiting for the Tories to build a giant bronze statue of Clement himself, in Muskoka, at taxpayers' expense, to praise his achievements for the constituency.
Muskoka residents must be DEMANDING IT, signing petitions by the thousands...holding fundraisers, selling Girl Guide cookies...they NEED a Tony Clement STATUE, Dammit!!!!
Senator Romeo Dallaire (a Canadian who deserves Massive Respect), even though I disagree with Canada having a Senate, has written an article in today's Ottawa Citizen, where he outlines why Omar Khadr, the Toronto-born kid whose parents forced him to go to Afghanistan and become a child soldier, is our countries' National Shame.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews (an idiot with his head up his ass if I ever saw one, Judge or not) refuses to act on this case and have Omar serve out the remainder of his prison sentence here in Canada. And by proxy, HARPER is refusing to Act.
U.S. officials at Guantanamo Bay have been quite loud and clear about this case, and they are quite upset at the Harper government for not acting to return Khadr to Canada.
I would never tell the U.S. President what to do, but Mr. Obama, Sir, Mr. President, I write to you as a Canadian who does not like where Canada\United States relations are going, especially in light of this new Nexen purchase by China that has everyone nervous as nuclear nellies, and you CAN lean on Steve for this. Regardless of what Omar did, he is a Canadian-born citizen and he belongs back in Canada, AS THE SUPREME COURT ASSUMED HARPER WOULD DO IN 2011.
2012 is halfway over and Omar is still in Gitmo.
Hello?
GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS HARPER.
And crime rates that Toews is claiming awesomeness to are actually unknown, totally fictional, because their fucking laws were only enacted last year! How the hell does he know whether crime has gone down by his "tough-on-crime" legislation that HE NEVER EVER ENFORCES?
Hmm? Riddle me that one, Batman.
Goon squad. Harper,s gang is a goon squad. They are imploding at mach 1. Enjoy it.
I don't agree to keping children in prison for anything, anywhere.
What is the point in using asterisks around words for emphasis? I don't understand it. I didn't understand your using a comma for where an asterisk would be -- Harper,s gang, etc., as in your last Batman post -- lose a key on your typewriter?
Speed in typing was the culprit- I was under the gun last time I was online and typed way too fast to correct anything.
But as long as peeps know the gist, errors are kosher.
I'm not paid either.
If I was, I would never hit the edit button.
Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister Dean del Mastro wants immunity from prosecution for his campaign donors to speak with Elections Canada officials. But Elections Canada told him point blank that they cannot guarantee immunity in exchange for giving their sides of the kickback scheme.
Dean's lawyer said "my people are clamming up" (without immunity from prosecution).
Isn't that just ducky?
This guy has the balls to ask for immunity from prosecution BEFORE election officials ask a single question?
Isn't that a bit odd? Doesn't that smack a wee bit like "guilty"? hmm? It sure does to me.
Immunity from prosecution. Why would they even have to fear the word, Dean?
Did they do something they shouldn't have?
And were caught?
Were you?
I take great glee in Dean del Mastro's massive fall from political grace. The PM's right hand man on ethics, RIGHT.
Yeah.
Gotcha.
Yep.
Perfect.
Another Conservative Bites The Dust
Another one gone Another one gone
I just read that in the first week of July this year, Dean del Mastro gave us this quote, in reference to what he's going through right now:
I am not an average person on the street. I was elected to Parliament by the people of my riding.
Wow.
You're above us all, Dean?
Your shit don't stink, Guido?
Did John Baird tell you to say that at every opportunity? Because that Queen believes the exact same thing.
You paid off outside parties to secure your victory- you are even on record the day after the election telling a benefactor (at a coffee shop with other MP's present) that you were VERY grateful for the help you got in getting elected. You made that VERY clear in a coffee shop, because you had no chance in hell of winning. You needed outside help from anyone and everyone who had no scruples about bending and breaking rules.
I'm gonna do a freaky Irish fuckin' JIG when you are charged.
You 'Gon Hang Like Dem Low-Hangin' Fruit, Dean!
You're lower than the average person on the street, Bitch.
You're a thief, a coward, a liar, a sham- get out a Thesaurus- you are every shade of shady there is, Clowny!
As Charlie Angus wrote to Justice Minister Rob Nicholson:
"Criminal Code, Elections Act and Income Tax Act violations are all possible here. Let's get an investigation underway by the RCMP to get to the bottom of this".
Nicholson refused. He's Conservative, what do you expect? No one pays for their crimes in Harper's gang of goofs.
But if the shoe was on another PARTY?
Nicholson would be all over it like white on rice.
In Canada, Conservatives are fucking SCUM.
Tell the Mayor.
Do you think Stephen Harper isn't corrupt?
Well here's an article on his former aide Bruce Carson, who was just criminally charged by the RCMP last week:
My man Charlie Angus is quoted in the piece. PRIME ANGUS BEEF!!!
"SHOT FIRED RIGHT ACROSS THE BOW OF THE PRIME MINISTER" INDEED!! YEE-HAH!!
http://www.vancouversun.com/news/RCM...522/story.html
It's time for me to take aim at another sack-'O-shit Tory MP: Pierre Poilievre.
This guy has never held a job in his life. He went to the University of Calgary and studied money.
Then he ran to be a Member of Parliament, and won. At age 24. He "worked for" Stockwell Day (a turd if there ever was one), but there is no evidence or info on what he actually did.
Rick Mercer, famous Canadian personality who hosts The Rick Mercer Report, says that if Poilievre ever held a job before coming to the House of Commons, he should ante up with some fucking proof.
Poilievre is a self-confessed "politics junkie" who is passionate about debating.
Well, so am I Pierre. Join our forums and school me, you smug dick.
My nickname for Pierre is "TAR BABY", because Old Pierre LOVED to use that phrase to smear Michael Ignatieff, and he was reprimanded Large for using that term in Parliament. He didn't apologize, he just smugly said it's a term used illustrate something sticking to someone.
RIGHT.
He's a Winner, huh?
Your my Tar Baby, Pierrre.
My Sweet Ignorant and Ugly little tar baby.
He also has disrespected the Speaker of the House countless times and gotten away with it.
He's never held a job in his life yet he got elected to a post that earns him $155,000 a year+
Only in politics, Kids. Only in Poilievreitics...
Oh yeah, and he was voted BIGGEST SELF-PROMOTER ON PARLIAMENT HILL, something he is probably proud of.
Just look at him. Look at his eerie tar baby scene.
His arrogant and absurd visage makes me dream of slapping him until he cries and tells me to stop.
Republicans John McCain, Michelle Bachman and Mitt Romney have all three recently used the term TAR BABY, so make no mistake: IGNORANCE is a Right-Wing trait. That term has a very RACIST connotation attached to it which it shouldn't. Shame on them for embracing such an ignorant phrase and being so comfortable with having it in their vernacular. I suspect that the politics junkie Pierre Poilievre picked it up by studying Republitards. I would even suspect Pierre as the one who suggested Republican robocall fraud tactics to Harper as a viable tool to get a majority. I wouldn't put it past that scumbag. In fact, Pierre strikes me as a guy who really thinks he's a playa. he just might be the Karl Rove of Canada. Canadians should keep a close eye on him.
Canada has a new Chief of Defence Staff to replace Walt Numpty: Air Force General THOMAS LAWSON.
We'll see how many non-commercial military flights HE will rack up...
Helena Guergis' lawsuit against Harper has been thrown out. The court decided that the court has no business whatsoever deciding criminal activity in Cabinet decisions.
So there you go.
The Prime Minister has Cosmic Immunity.
He can do anything he wants. It is Parliamentary Priviledge.
Message to Canadians:
Keep voting blind. If you want Hitler in Power, you fucking got it.
Look at what the American rulers get away with.
Yes indeed.
The people want it, accept it and demand it.
I just smile and get another beer. :P
Parliament resumed today.
Over the weekend I attended the Public Service Alliance's fun protest in Confederation Park in Ottawa.
The Public Service has been slashed and cut and decimated in the Conservative Ominous Budget Bill that sleazily passed before the summer break. But not before a marathon 24 hour vote to stop it was conducted.
The Conservatives voted down every single amendment to that bill. Every single one.
It's enough to call an election.
But Canadians HATE elections. So it is what it is.
At the barbecue/protest, all were welcome to be informed, enjoy a hamburger, a hotdog, some homemade desserts and music by a fine Jamaican band who did great covers of "Get Up, Stand Up" and "Girl I'm Gonna make You Sweat (La La La song)".
NDP MP Paul Dewar was there, he spoke of Harper's agenda, which is corporate and all about privatizing Canada.
Paul's father apparently worked in the Public Service. He was an NDP Leadership candidate and seems like a nice guy.
The Vice-President of the PSAC Union sang "With a Little Help From My (Corporate) Friends" as a giant Harper marionette made gestures and exuberant moves. His King's crown made me laugh....
The cuts to the public service by Harper's gang of goofs is appalling.
The reason people have to wait months and months to get their Employment Insurance cheques is because they have no people to process them! Harper fired them all! There are literally no bodies to process the claims!
And he's cutting more of them!
The Coast Guard is being cut. Why? What on earth for?
Vancouver is in an uproar over it.
But the Prime Minister just does. not. care.
A banner by PSAC saying "STEPHEN HARPER HATES US" was flown by an aircraft over Ottawa/Hull and the RCMP ordered the pilot to land, telling him that he was in restricted airspace, when he clearly was not. He knew exactly what his boundaries were and he never crossed them. In fact the RCMP knew it. They could have told him over the radio what was up, but they didn't.
SO GUESS WHAT?
He's flying that banner right now. Right near Parliament Hill. Again. Within his rights. Within his boundaries.
Free Speech Lives.
Pierre "Tar Baby" Poilievre just can't stop being a fuckhead.
He says union dues shouldn't have to be paid by members who don't want a union to support separatists.
This guy needs to be brought behind the barn.
Quebec will NEVER separate, Pierre. You know that, don't you?
The political parties who want to separate in Quebec are just that. POLITICAL. Nothing more. Just like you, hypocrite.
Quebecers know that Quebec will never separate, why don't you?
Tar Baby?
I'm letting the cat out of the bag. This is a WarShow. I want the Conservative party in ashes, just like Bane wants Gotham City. LOL
I will never relent on Stephen Harper.
He's Gonzo.
Tony Clement uses a ghost writer on Twitter.
The prisoner who shot two people at Quebec Premier Marois' victory party was granted access to a phone, where he called a radio station and talked for almost 40 minutes on how he had a vision from god and god told him that the English were waking up and Quebec must separate from Canada.
How did he get access to a live radio audience? Worrysome indeed.
Stephen Harper is Delusional.
That is all.
Canadian politics is a lot more interesting than I ever realized. It seems by the way that in his Colombine movie Michael Moore misrepresented the peacefulness and safety of Canada vs. the US at least a bit. True?
True.
We are peaceful, but we also have violence occur regularly.
There is a growing distrust of Stephen Harper and Canadians are starting to realize how corporate he is.
We need a Michael Moore- like exposure of Harper.
Really pull back the curtain.
He is an automaton.
Canada is safer and more peaceful, but did Michael Moore provide good proof of that in COLUMBINE? That is my question. I feel he has undermined his reputation over time with sloppy proofs of his valid points.
Well, it's a fact that we are safer in Canada, but Moore didn't do a complete delineation.
Mike could have reinforced his points in his films even more, and his films could be even greater op-eds than they are.
I think he did them they way he did because most people need it fed to them as plainly as possible.
Too investigative and people's brains can't process the info!
I don't quite agree with that. You can give accurate information to back up your arguments. In this matter of a safer and quieter Canada, he could have provided more hard data, along with the anecdotal material. I feel he fed us anecdotal fluff and expected us to be content with that, on this issue. And there was some of that in SICKO too, though SICKO's anecdotal material from the Americans living in France was very strong. It has stayed with me ever since.
Of course a too cold and factual approach would not influence people very much. It would me, but not most people, I'll grant you. But cheating isn't ultimately gong to work. I guess ultimately Michael Moore excels in preaching to the converted. And as a public speaker, he seems great. I've seen excerpts of speeches he's given, and he's a great rabble-rouser. He has the gift of gab. And I don't begrudge him that. Maybe ultimately it's the duty of each of us to find our own information and make up our own arguments and learn how to do our own preaching to the un-converted. That's a tough job.
