Stephen Harper is a Compulsive Liar

Eventually Stephen Harper's lies are going to catch up with him. No lie can live forever. We've made it pretty clear that Harper's back to work legislation is not back to work legislation, it's pension theft legislation.

Canada Post locked out their employees for voting 94.5% against the theft of their pensions and Canada Posts contempt for health and Safety. Yet Harper boasts "The government stood behind the back-to-work bill, saying that small business and other organizations like charities were being choked out by the mail dispute." That is an offensive lie.

Harper doesn't give a rat's ass about small business. His HST crippling the restaurant industry trying to pull it's way out of a recession is proof of that. Harper only cares about the big corporations that exploits workers and send jobs overseas. That does not help Canadians or the Canadian economy. Harper is a liar.

Charities? Harper rewards Canada Post for bringing the mail to a grinding halt and somehow twists that indisputable fact with the insane claim that his pension theft legislation is someone in support of charities? That is an offensive lie.

Denis Lemelin said the government’s assertion that its legislation was necessary to protect the economy is illogical. He said postal workers had offered to return to work. “The government has attacked our right to freely negotiate the conditions we work under,” said Lemelin.

Remember how Harper screwed Newfoundland which cause their Conservative Premier to launch an anything but conservative campaign against him? Well Harper has done it again. He's screwed Newfoundland again after tricking them by claiming he's help fund a hydroelectric dam in Newfoundland which caused them to stop their boycott.

He's closing the province's maritime rescue centre. The demonstration was organized by a coalition headed by provincial labour unions, and organizers estimated that about 2,000 people took part, including many local and provincial politicians.

"We rely on search and rescue every single day to save the people that we love at a time of distress," said Jones. "We're asking Stephen Harper to not put a price on the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians."

The premier, however, said that Harper rejected a plan that would split costs between the province and Ottawa to keep the centre going. The federal agency maintains that public safety will not be put at risk by the closure.

The demonstration comes only a day after a man was pulled dead from the waters about 60 kilometres east of St. Anthony, N.L. Four other men, who were working on a fishing vessel that was in distress, were rescued.

The search and rescue operation was started after a call was made to St. John's Marine Search and Rescue station. A helicopter from Gander was used, in addition to coast guard vessels from St. Anthony and St. John's.
