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.

Harper's Treason



We all like to complain about Gordon Campbell's arrogance and dishonesty and rightly so. I've mentioned before that the HST is a federal initiative and that Gordon Campbell offered up BC as a sacrificial pawn to break ground for the HST federally.

We also see that although Harper promised senate reform and was going to push for an elected Senate, he has now appointed 33 Conservatives to the 105-seat upper House in the last 18 months. Just what is he preparing for?



Let's not forget Stephen Harper's idol, Brian Mulroney and his senate reform. Mulroney added eight more seats to the total overnight so he could ram the GST through. Now Harper is doing far worse. He is quietly re stacking the senate to ram the HST through.



Remember all that drama about lowering the GST 2%? His idol was the one who rammed it through in the first place. What a scam. Yet that scam isn't nearly as big as the real plan. Get elected by promising to lower the GST, re stack the Senate, then Raise the GST by taxing things that are presently except and call it the HST. A grand scam indeed.

But that's not all. Make a dirty deal with the second most hated politician in Canadian history, Gordon Campbell. (Mulroney was the worst) He'll do it. He doesn't give a rat's ass about the people. He's has his two pay raises and his gold plated pension. He's going to retire so he doesn't care what the people think. That's why he has committed political suicide by wiping his party off the face of the earth just like Mulroney did.

Oh but wait. It gets worse. What if Harper was to offer Gordon Campbell a senate seat in exchange for cramming the HST though in BC? Wouldn't that be ironic? 30 pieces of silver and the people are again sold out.

Doesn't all the used car salesman drama about lowering the GST then raising it again sound so much like Gordon Campbell's promise not to implement the HST and his campaign against the gold plated pension before he implemented it? Too bad calling some one a liar in the house of Commons will get you kicked out. Outside of parliament those lies are considered criminal fraud.



The good news is that the grass roots initiative has succeeded in getting enough signatures on the anti HST petition to bring the tax to a referendum. The Vancouver Sun called it Direct Democracy.

Stop the HST Rally



Well it was nice to see political opponents rallying together for a common cause today. Opposing Gordon Campbell and the HST. Interesting to see Bill Vandersam and Carol James at the same rally. Looks like Gordon Campbell is getting squeezed from the left and the right just like Iggy.
.
Here's a video clip from the rally:

Harper’s Secret Afghan Budget



Interesting to note that since the media has reported that the costs of Canada’s mission in Afghanistan has run way over budget: http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/339588


the Harper government has taken a bold new step in thwarting democracy at home by completely evading public accountability. The budget is so far out of control they have made it secret and is telling the country's taxpayers that revealing the future cost of the war in Afghanistan would be a threat to national security: http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/story.html?id=1718949

That is criminal. Even Stockwell Day admits we cannot afford to continue the mission: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Canada+afford+continue+Afghan+mission/1659914/story.html

The costs of the mission is one thing. A democracy is accountable to the public. Fighting for "Democracy" in Afghanistan is somewhat ironic when we throw democracy out the window at home to accomplish the task.

The other factor is the moral justification for the mission itself. Wining and dining the Taliban for the rights to build the oil pipeline through Afghanistan then declaring war shortly after they gave the rights to the pipeline to an Argentina firm is very suspicious.

The 9/11 inconsistencies are very real and need to be addressed before we justify the moral grounds of the mission in Afghanistan not to mention the financial costs of the mission which are clearly out of control.

The Bin Laden video did not look like bin Laden. The Taliban said if the Americans had proof Bin Ladin was responsible for 9/11 they would turn him over but not without proof. The Americans have been know to torture to obtain false confessions. A practice Iggy supports.

9/11 was a serious con. It was indeed treason. Operation Northwoods was real as was President Johnston recalling the air support for the USS Liberty. These are issues that need to be addressed. The war on Terrorism needs to face those facts. Before we confront a foreign enemy and address terrorism from outside we need to confront the enemy from within. The CIA are terrorists. The war on terror cannot proceed without acknowledging that fact.

Iggy Me Not



Well the conservatives have come out strong with their attack ads on Ignatieff: http://www.ignatieff.me/

They must be worried the federal liberals are climbing the polls. I’ll admit I hate Ignatieff and think he’s an absolute devil but the conservatives are pissing me off too. Everything you get from them is all about them. Vote for us us us because they are bad bad bad. Every time they put anything out or answer anything that is what they say. Same with the Liberals and most of the political parties. It’s all about them.

That fact makes the conservatives attack add web site on Imoteff somewhat ironic. They say Imotph is arrogant and thinks it’s all about him. Which is absolutely true but they aren’t much better. Every political party thinks it’s all about them. The people have been lost in the propaganda.

The Devil Ignatieff Speaks



http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/abc/home/contentposting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20090423%2fIggy_US_090423

Why is it every time this guy opens his mouth it attracks flies? This is the inherit problem with Ignatieff. He pretends foreign occupation and wars for oil have anything to do with human rights. Afghanistan is not a noble cause. We were conned. The oil pipeline. The bin Laden video that didn’t even look like bin Laden. Homeland security wrongly claiming 9/11 terrorists came from Canada. What a farce. They were given visas by the CIA in Saudi. The fraudulent list of terrorists was a scam. Just like the asbestos.

Gibson tragedy



This story makes me mad. Before we sluff it off as a gun crazy lunatic let’s look at the facts. Here we have a female senior citizen getting evicted from her home because she couldn’t pay rent. What’s wrong with that picture?

Remember Gordon Campbell? The drunk driver who campaigned against the gold plated pension then when in office, shut down Riverview, put all the mentally ill on the street and gave himself a big fat raise and the very gold plated pension he promised to oppose. Not only did he shut down Riverview and put all the mentally ill on the street but he wrecked havoc on the welfare system as well as benefits for the elderly and disabled. Homelessness has skyrocketed as a result.

Then he continues with his budget cuts to seniors and closes down several seniors homes in surrey and gives himself another big fat pay raise while he hands out gold medals with his name on it to construction workers working on the Olympic site: http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/story.html?id=5f1c57ea-d510-4818-8f97-8f29507c0c72 That is the tragedy. We as a people have lost our conscience and have elected a criminal. We are all responsible as a result.

Now we have a senior getting evicted from her home. A war vet recently hit by a car suffering brain damage:
http://www.theprovince.com/news/Alleged+Gibsons+shooter+brain+injured+veteran/1453672/story.html We are evicting her on the street. She takes a riffle to defend herself, shoots her attacker then after pushing her wheelchair to the parking lot: http://www.theprovince.com/news/Woman+faces+attempted+murder+raps/1454859/story.html flees in a car and the noble police open fire and shoot her: http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/abc/home/contentposting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20090401%2fBC_shooting_090401

Well done brave soldiers. Give those police officers a Gordon Campbell Olympic gold medal for shooting a senior citizen in a wheelchair as they were evicting her from her home. What a noble people we have become.

No medals for Gordon Campbell on child poverty: http://billtieleman.blogspot.com/2008/11/bc-is-canadas-worst-province-for-child.html

Russia plays the Bully




Not that I trust Harper because I don’t. I think he will exploit any opportunity to promote himself as he is a Brian Mulroney George Bush wanna be. Nevertheless, it is clear that Big Brother is determined to play the bully.

Here’s the deal. Russia sends a bomber on a military exercise and heads straight for Canada over the arctic. NORAD picks up on it and sends two Canadian fighter jets to intercept. The bomber turns back before entering Canadian air space: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/03/23/arctic-canadarussia.html

Seemingly this happens all the time and some question why Harper is blowing it out of proportion. Excuse me. This happens all the time and we never hear about it? We should. That kind of military posturing in a time of peace is Bullsh*t.

Russia responds with the claim that Canada’s concern is a farce as they never entered Canadian air space. Excuse me. Sending a bomber straight for Canada and turning back right before it enters Canadian air space is bullsh*t. That’s no different that Pakistan or North Korea marching troops toward the border in an act of intimidation.

Back in Ireland some referred to Russia as Big Brother. Then again, why would we turn to Big Brother to liberate us from corruption when they are bullies themselves? Sending a bomber or military troops towards a border then recalling them before they cross is quite within any country’s legal right but it certainly isn’t being a good neighbor nor is it building any relationships of trust.
If the Americans sent a B-52 straight for Canada then turns back just before it enters Canada, we’d be equally pissed. If Russia does this all the time they should stop. Period.

It appears they are doing this to England as well: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-480319/Return-Cold-War-Tornados-Russian-bombers.html

Calgary’s Hate Pride Parade



This is obscene. Five days after hosting war criminal George Bush: http://www.darrenentwistle.com/bush_visits_telus_world.htm


Is there no shame? We fought a war against Hitler’s Nazis. Now we are going to let them parade around in public and promote hate? Shame on us!

New Westminster High School built on Chinese Cemetery



I found this story disheartening. Turns out that a high school in New Westminster is built on a old Chinese Cemetery. Actually the high school sits on several cemeteries: http://www.theprovince.com/Cemeteries+under+high+school/1403962/story.html

"The school, which dates to 1948, is to be replaced. But when the school board began planning to add a middle school to the site and build a new high school, it discovered that part of the site had served as New Westminster’s public cemetery from 1861 to 1907.

Another portion, known as Douglas Cemetery, was used from 1907 to 1920. That meant part of the school property came under protection of the provincial Cemeteries Act. But other sections, used for two Chinese cemeteries, have no such protection."
http://www.theprovince.com/News/cemeteries+haunt+rebuilding+West+high+school/1403390/story.html
This is something I find very hard to comprehend. The high school sits on four cemeteries. Two fall under the protection of the Cemeteries Act but the two Chinese cemeteries for some strange reason do not.

This is the part that I cannot comprehend. If two of the cemeteries fall under the Cemeteries Act, all four do. Ignoring that fact is a violation of the Charter of Rights.

Do you know what tomb sweeping day is? It is a day set aside within the Chinese community to visit the graves of their ancestors to honour the sacrifices they have made and to clean the grave site. This is an honourable tradition. We would do well to embrace it and follow it. Chinese cemeteries are magnificent pieces of architecture.

My bewilderment is left to struggle trying to understand why this injustice exists in our own back yard. The Chinese people have a magnificent culture. They are organized and very hard working. They contribute greatly to our society. In Victoria one can visit the historical origins of China town during this time period. They were very organized and very industrious. A credit to the country.

Historically, the Chinese people have overcome oppression and hardship here. Chinese immigrants were used as slave labour to build the railway and many died. I have a friend in Vancouver who is a descendant of one of these railway workers. He doesn’t speak Cantonese or Mandarin, he speaks a different older dialect. He is a wonderful humble and good hearted man. A credit to the nation.

Racism is hard to comprehend at the best of times and shocking to find in our own country. Historically we had the Head tax and an Anti Asian League form:
http://www.theprovince.com/Chinese+Westminster/1403964/story.html
This would be the Canadian equivalent to the KKK. It is a shocking embarrassment to find in our closet.
Recognizing the injustices of the past, one small act that is within our power to repair is to recognize that all four Cemeteries under the New Westminster High School are protected under the Cemeteries Act. That would be one small step forward: http://www.fullofnews.ca/

Gun violence






At least all the deaths in the Metro Vancouver area are targeted hits. Gang members shooting each other fighting over the drug trade. This shoot people randomly is somewhat bizarre.

Then we get the wacko that stabs a guy sleeping on a Greyhound bus and mutilates the body, decapitating him and eating body parts. The verdict in that trial is another example of how deranged out injustice system is. He’s found criminally unfit to stand trial, gets institutionalized and could get realized pending an evaluation by a psychiatrist.

There’s a big difference between being criminally insane and unfit to stand trial. This guy is criminally insane and a threat to public safety as is our entire judicial system in BC.

Iggy of the Underworld



http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/abc/home/contentposting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20090304%2fstimulus_fund_090304

" The clash between the Liberals and the Tories over the stimulus fund for Canada's sagging economy is fuelling election speculation." Shut the F*ck up! No more elections before the term is up. All you politicians care about is yourselves. You have a minority government. Live with it. Canadians don’t trust any of the parties with a majority government. A bunch of self serving used car salesmen.

Harper Government considers selling assets



OK this is just plain dumb. The Harper government is using the bad budget as an excuse to shoot himself in the foot and give away a cash cow. Canada Post makes money. Canada Post pays tax and dividends to the government. Selling that is bad business. Selling it has nothing to do with the bad budget. It has everything to do with the exact political extremism that created the economic crisis in the first place: http://www.theprovince.com/Homes/Major+Canadian+government+assets+could+sold/1299281/story.html

The Port Mann Bridge




This is another example of how the Campbell government is completely out of touch with reality. The Port Mann bridge should have been twinned before they built the Golden Ears bridge. The Golden Ears bridge will create more traffic on the Port Mann not reduce it.

Then comes the latest brainstorm. Instead of twinning the bridge they’re gonna make a ten lane super bridge which is twice as wide and twice as expensive. Think about if for a minute. It’s twice as expensive. That alone should scrap the idea.

Then look at the insane traffic congestion when the Patello bridge was shut down recently. If you twin the Port Mann, the existing Port Mann will still be able to function. If you expand the existing Port Mann that will create another commuters nightmare.

What’s was the line from Napoleon Dynamite? "Idiot!"

Vote Smart BC



Gordon Campbell closed Riverview and put all the mentally ill on the street then gave himself a huge raise and gold plated pension. Then he put the seniors on the street and gave himself another huge raise yet has done nothing for public safety. Vote Smart B.C. Get that drunk driver off the road and don’t fall for the ridiculous stereotypes again.

Harper drops Cadman defamation suit against Liberals



http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/abc/home/contentposting.aspx?isfa=1&feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V3&showbyline=True&date=true&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20090206%2fcadman_suit_090206

What a multipurpose scam. Harper drops the defamation suit against the Liberals in Michael Ignatieff’s New World coalition. Let’s see, how many scams can we see in a single act. Iggy drops the coalition and hops in bed with Harper and Harper drops the court case.

The court case was in itself a scam because they were hiding their guilt. That book comes out revealing how the Conservatives tried to bribe Independent MP Chuck Cadman not to bring the government down early with a large life insurance policy. He was dying of cancer. Conservatives lung into rage and denial yet Cadman’s wife confirms the story as well as their daughter: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2008/02/29/cadman-daughter.html

Then Candman’s wife Donna throws her hat into the political ring and runs for the Conservatives even though she confirmed the bribery story while they were denying it. Obviously she received free campaign signs and her name on the card. Which is not a scandal, it’s just weird. Why would she run for the party that tried to bribe her husband? Because she has always been Conservative?

It all just leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth. Even if the bribery offer was true, it’s not really a big scandal. Not compared to the sponsorship scandal or everything else that plagues politics on a daily basis. I just get fed up with the rage and denial.

Peter McKay denied calling Belinda a dog when he was caught on tape. What’s the big deal. Belinda was a tramp. http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/editorial/story.html?id=e4db5522-435d-42a0-8174-5e7622ce7c83 One minute she’s in a relationship with him going for the Conservative leadership. Then when she loses the bid literally the next minute she becomes Liberal and dumps him shortly before she’s named as the other party in Tie Domi divorce order on grounds of adultery.

The politicians are cat calling each other in the house talking about the clean air bill and one Liberal referring to the clean air bill yells out to McKay what about your dog? Meaning the bill would be good for his dog while McKay wittily responds with a point to Stronach’s empty chair and says You already have her. It was hilarious and appropriate given the circumstances. Yet denying it when he was caught on tape is simply a lie.

BTW Not only was Peter McKay caught on tape so was Harper: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2008/10/10/cadman-tape.html

Harper, Cadman, Defamation and the Liberals. Chuck Cadman was the only one we ever trusted. May he and his son rest in peace and may the rest of them...

The Canadian Budget is out of Control



What a circus. I don’t trust any of them. Least of all Michael Ignatieff. Never mind wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s a devil and you don’t even need PhotoShop to see it.



Personally, I liked Reform. Balance the budget to save the social programs not eliminate them. They stood apart from Mulroney’s pork barrel politics then came full circle and merged with them just to get elected. I don’t trust Mulroney and I don’t trust Harper. Harper’s idol worship of Mulroney is a red flag.

Ignatieff is a devil. He supports torture and claims to support human rights by backing wars for oil. He’s not a used car salesman, he is a satanic spin doctor. Jack Layton is the used car salesman. The NDP is the only party other than the Green that seems to be opposed to the secret North American Union that is trying to throw out the constitution in favor of corporate rights. Just look at TIMLA.

Nevertheless, I can’t help but see Jack Layton as a spineless weasel. Truthers were all excited he was supporting the cause but he wasn’t. He would tell them in private he was but he refused to say so in public. He’s playing both sides. Libby Davies is the only one in that crew I trust. Nevertheless, I still trust the NDP more than the Conservatives and the Liberals are clearly on the bottom of the barrel as far as trust goes.

Although I’m not a fan of the carbon tax, especially when I see all the factory smoke pouring out into the air from the mountains, I think I trust the Green first, (I take that back. Green are totally out to lunch. They want to legalize very drug under the sun.) the Block Second, the NDP third, the Conservatives fourth and the Liberals bottom of the barrel.

Now lets talk about the budget circus. What an absolute joke. Here we have Harper committing not to run a deficit then showing how he came full circle and has gone on a Brain Mulroney spending spree. Remember why he did? Because all the other parties ganged up on him and were going to form their own coalition and become the government. Harper pulls a Brian Mulroney by canceling parliament to let everyone cool down then he creates a huge budget deficit just to appease the masses.

The reason the other parties ganged up on him was because he tried to abuse his power and screw them on the contribution thing. They got pissed enough to join forces and scared the life out of him. I supported a coalition under Stephen Dion but I do not support a coalition with Michael Ignatieff. In fact neither does Ignatieff. Ignatieff wants a coalition with Harper and that he has.

Like I said Ignatieff is satan. Pretending the invasion of Iraq had anything to do with human rights is absurd. Afghanistan is more subtle but the fact is the Americans were wooing the Taliban four months before 911 to win the Oil Pipeline contract and as soon as they give the pipeline contract to an Argentina firm we’re at war. The war in Afghanistan has nothing to do with human rights. Iggy is a liar.

So now that the dust has settled and the four ringed circus has been revealed all we are left with is gross fiscal irresponsibility. Everyone wants a hand out as the debt races out of control to the point where we will not be able to fund our medical or pensions. God help us.

Michael Ignatieff is Imhotep



The Mummy Returns:

Michael Ignatieff represents all that was bad out of the Liberal Party. Fiscal irresponsibility, back room sponsorship deals, then he takes some evil from the right and remix it with pure insanity - torture, wars for money disguised as human rights, Corporate trade agreements that remove human rights. The list goes on and it all comes back to the same thing - arrogance.
.
Pride leads us to keep talking when we should be listening. Listening to the voters is what a democracy is supposed to do.
.
Why is it every time Michael Ignatieff opens his mouth it attracts flies? Maybe because every time he opens his mouth he talks sh*t.



Iggy's the same stuff just a different pile. Did I say that I don’t support him? Oh yeah I did. I have recorded my dissent.

UK Invasion



No I’m not talking about the Beatles. Much: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87yq372R4Ts
I’m talking about England in Iraq. We all remember Tony Blair’s lovefest with George Bush: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nupdcGwIG-g

Somewhat pathetic so it was. He received the congressional I’ve blown bush badge for standing by Bush’s side as they invaded Iraq under false pretense and sent in MI6 to launch Operation Mass Appeal by giving false information to the media. They were all caught red handed: http://www.peacecandy.com/gwbush/remindus/

Don’t forget the purpose of MI6: "The purpose of MI6 is to defend the economic well being of the UK." And don’t forget the recruiting question of MI6: "Where do Britain's best long-term interests lie? Washington, Brussels or Moscow?"

The bottom line is despite the propaganda, it’s all about the money. Human rights have nothing to do with it. They didn’t care about Saddam Hussein using American chemical weapons on Iran. They didn’t care about all the bad things the Taliban did when they were going to let UNOCAL build an oil pipeline through Afghanistan. They don’t care Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are the only two countries left on the planet that still don’t let women vote in elections. It’s all about the money. Don’t let them tell you any different.

Tony Blair wondered if he should stay or if he should he go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1vwKZiDsY4&NR=1 He left but he forgot to take his MI6 propaganda machine with him. Canada does not need Iggy.

Michael Ignatieff MI6’s shining star



Think about it. This guy supports torture and has the audacity to pretend the wars for oil actually have anything to do with human rights. This is a MI6 propaganda shining star.

Remember MI6 gave false information to the media about Iraq. Remember MI6 actively participated in Operation Gladio in Europe which was Operation Northwoods implemented. Remember MI6 participated in a foiled false flag event in Iraq:
http://finiansworld.blogspot.com/2008/10/anarchy-in-uk.html

The truth is MI6 is connected to Oil: http://www.mathaba.net/data/sis/mi6-oil.html

"SIS (often known as MI6) provides HMG with a global covert capability to promote and defend the national security and economic well-being of the United Kingdom."
http://www.sis.gov.uk/output/about-us.html

The purpose of MI6 is to defend the economic well being of the UK.



Historian Andrew Roberts has written about his own experience of being approached in 1987 to join MI6. In the interview he was asked "Where do Britain's best long-term interests lie? Washington, Brussels or Moscow?" Obviously Tony Blair thought Britain’s best long term economic well being resides in Washington. Thus his support for the Invasion of Iraq under false pretense which his intelligence agency helped promote. http://www.mathaba.net/data/sis/mi6-sd36.shtml
