Stephen Harper kicked two women out of his stump yesterday.
Kicked out because (during the security screening) the Conservatives checked out their Facebook profiles and saw that they were friends with Michael Ignatieff.
That was all it took to get the boot.
Is that Democratic? To check out people's facebook friends before letting 'em in to see their potential Leader speak?
Harper was asked about it this morning and what was his response?
It was the same response he gives to all reporters who call him out on being an un-Canadian shithead: Nothing.
He refused to answer directly.
All he said was "We've been drawing big crowds to our rallies".
Yeah? And? THAT'S your answer? You've been drawing big crowds?
What about this isssue you were just asked about?!?!?
Kicking out 2 women from your rally who had Ignatieff as a facebook friend!?!?
No comment, Fuckhead?
Just dodge the issue? Accountability is not a word in your vocabulary, Mr. Harper.
How arrogant of you to use that word as a campaign platform 5 years ago.
You've devolved into a Shuck and Jive Man, Steve. And the people see right through it.
On the other side of the tracks, where truth and integrity reign supreme, Jack Layton announced that he would make the Canada Pension Plan a 50% guaranteed income supplement to Seniors, as opposed to the 25% it's at right now.
Young voters may not care about that now, but believe you me, when you approach that retirement age you'll be damn glad that the CPP was topped for you and yours. You'll be thanking the NDP for thinking of you way back in 2011.
I watched cpac this morning with an extra large coffee (my daily ritual during this election) and a caller phoned in to ask point blank why this election was happening. He was under the impression that it was because the Harper government fell on a vote of non-confidence because the government was in contempt of parliament. (SMART MAN). The moderator replied that the blame is shared for this election.
100% correct.
Let me break it on down:
The budget that Harper's conswineatives put to the House could have been voted for by all parties and accepted for Canada. It wasn't. The numbers didn't add up. They were fudged.
WHY wasn't it good enough?
a) no costs or even ESTIMATES (that were decent) for Harper's prisons or F-35 jets. The opposition gave Harper TONS of time to provide good solid numbers. 4 months of time. Only when FORCED by the Speaker of the House to provide all info did we get a "Data Dump"- a bunch of binders that provided NO INFO that helped in the decision to vote for these huge ticket items. So the only proper course of action was to find the Harper government in contempt. Originally Harper said it was "executive secrets" that was the reason for not providing all relevant info/costs.
Then everybody realized that there is no such thing as "Executive Secrets" in Canadian politics.
They told us that the F-35 was the best jet we can buy. Problem is it's the only jet they looked at. WHAT ASSHOLES!
Then the price went from 9 billion to 35 billion to I don't know what number they picked out of the sky for it now.
AND THERE WAS NO BIDDING ON IT!
They just told us "THIS IS OUR JET. SIGN HERE, CANADA".
Fuck that noise. Shit like this is why we're in an election.
We need to vote out liars and deceivers. PRONTO.
b). as I mentioned before, Harper's pathetic budget had nothing in it for Seniors, child care or daycare or hardworking Canadians.
It was beyond appalling, that budget. I sat in on the debate in the House of Commons Live, and I can tell you that I wanted to throw down rotten oranges at the Conservative side of the Commons. I truly do not know who they represent.
Can someone give me a one-sentence explanation of who the Conservatives represent?
Please? Just one sentence that I can understand.
Because all that was in the budget were tax breaks for oil companies, insurance companies and fucking BANKS.
Since when do those groups take precedent over the Canadian working taxpayer?
Since when??????????
Yes, the NDP could have staved off an election by supporting the budget.
But if you were Jack Layton, meeting with Harper personally to make sure these items are in the budget and then get flipped off after propping up his government in the past,
IS THERE ANY WONDER WE'RE BACK AT THE POLLS?
We're back to vote because Harper didn't tell Parliament the truth.
As long as Harper keeps up his campaign of lies and inhumanity we just might see a Liberal minority once again.
The irony is so sweet too: Harper is running his campaign EXACTLY like Pierre Trudeau did in 1980.
Every single move Harper makes, he makes with what Trudeau had in mind to win a majority in 1980.
And Trudeau's son Justin is in the Liberal party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How sweet it is!!!
The *glaring* difference between Harper and Pierre Trudeau is that Trudeau knew he could win a majority. Harper ain't so sure. He knows his lies can come back to haunt him . BADLY.
He's a nervous Nelly on the campaign trail- look how he snaps and barks and evades questions when confronted with major flaws in his character.
He squirms and wrestles with unleashing his inner asshole every time.
Stay tuned.
