Nothing To Fear....

“Nothing to fear but fear itself”, so says Stephen Harper who figures the sky will indeed fall should Canada embark upon a course of international environmental cooperation under Kyoto.
Well hey, maybe he’s right. Why don't we pursue an in depth look at Stevies facts, science and experts detail that have lead to some pretty serious (or reckless) predictions under a Kyoto program?
In the absence of such detail the Conservative environmental program can only be viewed as more in a litany of inadequate, embarrassingly juvenile, poorly cobbled attempts at 'endowment legislation' for special interest groups.
Maybe there is indeed more to fear than fear; a little scepticism about Stephen Harpers competence is always in order but this serious an adventure could necessitate some questioning of integrity.

STEPHEN HARPER! PAGING STEPHEN HARPER!

The Accountability wanes. The leadership wanes. The courage of conviction wanes. Taking one for the cause doesn’t apply. Nope. And on this one Stevie needs….. TA DA! Cannon fodder! That decisive leader Stephen Harper has opted to lead the charge…….from behind. The point will be led taken by John Baird AND who’s behind ol’ Johnny giving him a shove? Why it’s, ‘STEVIE, THE GUTLESS’ WONDER!
Wasn’t the No-Kyoto your BIG bag, Steve? One of the biggies you were pounding?

"Trusssssssssssst in me".

Brown, Harper's annointee, is THE leading champion of The "tripe E". And for those that see merit in the idea of a tripe E you might want to review the history of Alberta and Ralph Klein's version of a ‘senate in waiting’ process. It will shed light on a cynical, contrived, stacked process best compared to a Soviet style election. (Does it surprise that it worked?)
Expect nothing less from Harper whose panting lust for Americana would have you believe there could be a better day ahead for Canadians under his………..tutelage. His assuring manner borrows thin slices of truth (and he does slice thin) to add a cynical veil of mortar on a cobbled version of fair, even handed government. Itsy bitsy pieces of old fashion fascism added along his path though, testify to Harpers interest in Canada; the gears are in reverse mode. What Steve has in mind does not include the growth of democracy and freedom in Canada. It does however include a narrowing of the base of power and rights of the individual.
As Hiss the snake said, "Trusssssssssssssssssssst in me".

Gun Control Conservative Style

“…….Because he killed and injured so many victims in a short span of time, some people speculated that Cho used high-capacity magazines containing as many as 33 rounds in each clip.
Under the federal assault-weapons ban enacted in 1994, magazines were limited to 10 rounds…………BUT THAT BAN WAS ALLOWED TO EXPIRE IN 2004”

Maych Ado About Nothing

What the ---- is with all the chicken little-ism over, “the deal”. One aspect that seems to fly right over the top of many of the ‘aryan blood only’, gang is the number of times the center-left is being divided by yet another party with a fruit cake cause, from people to environment.
If you want a vote splitting path to ‘rule by Fatso’, then make sure no inclusion, melding or cooperation takes place. All Tub O’ Guts needs is one third; it’s what’s kept conservatives alive in Alberta since the '30's and sure as another center-left split will help pave a path for his Bellyness at the federal level.
What the hell is everyone afraid of? This is'nt a Social Credit/Reform/Alliance/Conservative merger. This is LIKE minded people trying to come together.

A Donkey By Any Other Name

As a man of advancing age Paul Jackson still writes for the Calgary Sun, this inspite of signs of early onset of mental rickets. I’ve always believed you never want to lend a numbskull credence but every once in a while Paul, like a flasher in a school yard, exposes his inner most man with opinion that is more hilarious than stupid. Our modern day Josephus must have had full a 2 ounce shot of the finest Vegrevillian single malt bath tub gin prior to taking pen in hand for this one.
It seems Paul, looking into the future, sees Stephen Harper as being enthroned as the greatest of all Canada’s Prime Ministers.
I leave anyone who cares to follow the link below to read the article because it is funny in a pompous ass sort of way however I caution ere you become mesmerized by Paul’s dazzling way with facts, this is the man who also believes that (and said so in print) Rob Anders possesses the highest intellect of any in today’s parliament.

"A 200.00 hockey ticket is not a bribe"!

Subtitled:
Whose Your Daddy?
Early onset of dementia denies me recall of the name of the Conservative politician who uttered thos famous words after warming a seat as a guest of Bell during an Ottawa Senator game.
Sure.
Bell Gives out hockey tickets to politicians because..........................................the politician is a nice elected people and who wouldn't like a nice elected people?
And that would certainly prove too that John Reynolds has transcended earth to become a knotlobbyist.
