Harper has no respect for the gay community

In one of the biggest slaps in the face to the gay community during the gay pride parade, we learn that our Prime Minister does not give a toss about a very serious epidemic that affects millions and millions of people. What this tells me is that Stephen Harper really has a serious problem with gays in this country.

Why is this whining child in the house of commons?

Yesterday, resident child of the conservative party youth wing "Lucky Pierre" Poilievre flipped the bird along with his friend Jacques "no brains in his" Gourde in the house of commons. This is not just the first occurence of Poilievre's delinquency, in fact there is many more occurances of his sickening behaviour.

Poilievre also papers his constituents with flyers. He has sent out 19 of them in just over a year, plus four householders.

Some of it is sophomoric stuff of the sort you'd expect from someone running for head of a campus chapter of the party youth wing. One of Poilievre's recent flyers features Prime Minister Paul Martin on a three-dollar bill. As you might imagine, it says "phoney as a three dollar bill."

The same flyer asks these piercing questions. Do you agree that Paul Martin should stop making phoney promises? Tick yes or no. If I think Martin is beating his wife, can I write that in? Poilievre reminds constituents that they can return this scientific survey to him without postage, free mail being an MP's privilege. What a wise use of taxpayers' dollars. 1

Nice to know that Pierre Poilievre is a huge hypocrite, this guy once went after the Liberals for the sponsorship scandal and here he is wasting your money on partisan house holders.

Mr. Pierre Poilievre (Nepean—Carleton, CPC): Madam Speaker, we speak regularly on this side of the House, and quite rightly, about Liberal corruption, Liberal theft, Liberal fraud. We have to repeat ourselves often because that is often the only discussion item generated from that side of the House.

This evening I am going to venture into some different territory. I am going to talk about the fundamental difference in philosophy that divides this side of the House from that side, that separates Conservatives, who believe in freedom, from the NDP-Liberal coalition, a coalition of corruption and socialism. I am going to give a few examples to illustrate this point. By the time I am through members will be convinced beyond any shadow of a doubt that our party represents a vision of freedom that all citizens of the country can embrace.

I am going to start by talking about economic policy. Across the way there is a party that takes dollars out of the pockets of assembly line workers and reallocates them into the pockets of high priced CEOs and blue chip billionaires. That is the social justice they talk about over there.

What did they do recently? It did not get widely reported. They sort of went under the radar screen. They took a quarter of a billion dollars, $250 million. That number rings a bell. Everyone thinks I am about to talk about the quarter of a billion dollars of Liberal theft in the sponsorship program.

Mr. Daryl Kramp: There's more?

Mr. Pierre Poilievre: It's worse.

This time they gave, this is the anti-American Liberal Party, a quarter of a billion dollar loan to a nearly bankrupt American airline company. They gave nearly a quarter of a billion dollar loan to--2

Mr. Poilievre might be one of the most vicious people in the entire conservative caucus when it comes to speaking.

Mr. Pierre Poilievre: Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The member is referring directly to the Prime Minister by name. He should show some respect for that office and some respect for the House by following-

Mr. Pierre Poilievre: Mr. Speaker, the member will be waiting until it is a very cold day some place other than here before he gets an apology from me. I am proud to say that I am a member of a party that has exposed 13 years of brutal corruption unparalleled in Canadian history. I will never be silenced in speaking out against it.

Mr. Pierre Poilievre: If the Liberal government had continued with its plan, which we intend very proudly to cancel, that money would have been enough to perhaps provide a child care space for maybe 1 in 20 or 1 in 25 children. Our plan flows money to every single child. Why is the hon. member against a universal system that gives money to every child?

Poilieve was also caught recently using foul language in a committee meeting Lying about it, he changed his tune once the tape of his language was presented to him.3

Finally another gem from the mouth Poilievre.

Mr. Pierre Poilievre (Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board, CPC): Mr. Speaker, the hon. member failed to discuss at any length the accountability act that will be the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history. Among other things, it will create an anti-corruption watchdog who will protect whistleblowers against bullying. It will end the revolving door between lobby firms and ministers' offices. It will give the Auditor General the power to shine light in every dark corner in her hunt for waste, theft and corruption. The member's party is familiar with all of those things.

Finally, it will ban big money and corporate cash from political campaigns altogether. These are concrete steps that will form the basis for the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history.

Why did the member not take at least a few moments to acknowledge those steps? Could it be that his party is shaking, that his party is terrified about the implications that those tough measures will have on the practises and modus operandi of his organization, the Liberal Party of Canada?

Mr. Pierre Poilievre (Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board, CPC): Mr. Speaker, it is abundantly clear that the sovereignists need corrupt Liberals to justify achieving sovereignty. Such is the extremely useful relationship they have with corrupt Liberals who, in turn, use the separatists as an excuse for their corruption, as we have seen in connection with the sponsorship scandal.

The hon. member may try to deny this relationship between the Bloc and the Liberals. She may not want to admit that the sovereignists need the corrupt Liberals to justify separation. Otherwise, is she prepared to say loud and clear that she supports our extending sitting hours in order to pass the accountability bill, which will thoroughly clean up politics in this country, and that she will work to have this bill passed by the Senate before the summer recess?

Ann Coulter: Vicious Venomous Witch

Ann Coulter's dispicable comments regarding the 9/11 widows brings civil discourse to a new low, Ann Coulter in my own opinion personally has a seat in hell waiting for her with the devils. Good for Hillary Clinton for going after this c**t because really if there was one woman who deserved to be called a c**t this is the one.

Ann Coulter personally is a shameless transexual plastic barbie doll who probably couldn't be where she is without spewing such venomous hate.

Jamming with Stéphane Dion

As most of the Liberal Bloggers on this site were aware, I recieved an email from Stéphane Dion's campaign yesterday and decided to join the conference call today. I had the opportunity to ask Mr. Dion some questions. I want you to keep in mind that I tried to type as fast as I can and realize I might have accidently mangled some views. If I am guilty of that, please do not hesitate to tell me I made a mistake.

Regarding Equalization Formula, recently Premier Lorne Calvert of Saskatchewan has gotten angry at Stephen Harper's perceived renegging of his promise to take out oil and gas revenues from the Equalization Formula. My Question to you is: What would you do to fix the equalization formula?

I think we (the federal government) made a mistake when we killed the equalization formula, The federal government should be helping provinces below the canadian average. We have accepted to see the amount of equalization go up by 3, 4 or 5% a year. The Rich provinces have got richer and the poor provinces have got poorer. The gap has becoming bigger and not narrower. I would add to the formula a ceiling that would cap the amount of equalization a province could receive.
as

How much Ethanol would you require in Gasoline?

I would require more then 10% Ethanol and use a Canadian Company (I forgot the name so I can't remember what it was) to produced a special type of ethanol (The ethanol does exist just can't remember what type it was called but it was basically a long name that started with an S}. I would oppose using corn imported from the United States.

What is your opinion on Kyoto?

Kyoto is demanding, but Kyoto does work, we had only begun to start meeting our kyoto targets. I hope that some time in the near future when I am Prime Minister we will hopefully be able to salvage Kyoto, If you look at a country like Sweden, It has some of the most efficient technology in the world and it operates fantastically under Kyoto.


Overall the interview was great, I was extremely impressed by the answers he gave and enjoyed talking to him.

Sleazy Joe Must Go

Joe Volpe has done the Liberal Party a tremendous disservice by taking donations from people not of legal age to donate. Volpe should have the fortitude to step down from this leadership race because he knows fullwell he has no chance at becoming Leader of the Party, let alone Prime Minister.

Personally, I find Mr. Volpe to be an extremely sleazy politician I think that his ethics and the kind of people he hangs around (Jim Karygiannis) just make his case even worse. Mr. Volpe, for the love of God step down from your campaign you have no chance of winning at all and you know it.

Does Wittle Baby Harper Need a Bottle?

Stephen Harper has done it again, Little Stevie has started to once again act his shoe size and not his age. The latest spectacle of Harper follows that old Conservative Conspiracy Theory and well-known tradition that the Media is run by a bunch of liberals out to get them.

Mr. Harper's behaviour is outrageous and unbefitting of a prime minister, his temper tantrums and outbursts are complete undignified and unpriministerial, you can say what you want but Mr. Harper has been acting like a school yard bully and his lack of respect for everyone around him is really despicable.

Mr. Harper has no right to claim the media is biased against him, The media is biased against him because he has given them a reason to be biased against him, he has thumbed his nose at the media and treated them like dirt so he should expect to get the same treatment right back at him. Once again, I should point out that is another example of Mr. Harper "cutting and running" from his problems.

Mr. Harper has decided that rather then suck it up and take the media's questions like a man he has decided to give the media the finger and run like the little cowardly man he is. Mr. Harper is extremely unwise to treat the media like this, there is an old saying from the Godfather that goes "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." Mr. Harper is extremely foolish to have tarnished the great relations he had been having with the media up until his swearing-in ceremony.

So Mr. Harper, how about you go back to crib and stop shaking your rattle everytime you don't get your way. Like the Rolling Stones said "You Can't Always Get What You Want." So suck it up, Stevie.

Lazy Stephen Harper: World's Biggest Coward

After watching Stephen Harper the past week I have come to the conclusion that this man has go to be the world's biggest coward, whether he was cowering from Kyoto Targets, whether it was cowering from setting up a public appointments commission, or whether he was cowering from the national media and even when he was cowering from a real debate on afghanistan.

Yes, let it be known that Stephen Harper is by far the world's biggest hypocrite, he says he will not cut and run, but Mr. Harper has cut and run so many times from his problems he should be known as not only a coward but also he should be known as extremely lazy. Stephen Harper has also become one of the most arrogant prime ministers in the history of this country

Why is Mr. Harper lazy? Perhaps its because he and his latte sipping compadre Rona Ambrose have no plan for the environment just empty promises that do not mean anything, sure Mr. Harper has kept his commitments but those commitments do absolutely nothing for this country. Mr. Harper is lazy on the environment because he refuses to even come up with anything for Kyoto and just dismiss it and brand it as a failure. Mr. Harper cut and run on Kyoto when the opposition parties outvoted him on Kyoto, Simply put Mr. Harper has zero respect for people's democratic choices, it's quite ironic his little miscreant Jason Kenney claimed Paul Martin had zero respect for democratic choices because it's quite apparent Mr. Harper has the same respect. Harper's pathetic "made-in Canada" solution is just an excuse to bash any European Country because Mr. Harper thinks of them probably as a bunch of left-wing communist pinko radicals.

Mr. Harper is also lazy and cowardly when it comes to Gwyn Morgan, The very simple truth of the matter is Mr. Harper was so lazy that he didn't even bother asking opposition MP's what they thought of him, Is Mr. Harper living in some kind of dreamworld where he thinks he is the king and what he says goes? Because last I checked this was a minority government and Mr. Harper has already started acting like an abusive, threatening bully towards everyone else in the house of Commons. Gwyn Morgan deserved his fate, because of Mr. Harper's foolish error, I feel no sympathy for what happened to Mr. Morgan. Mr. Harper cut and run from the public accounts commission because he couldn't get his crony installed.

Mr. Harper's treatment of the media is disgusting, Mr. Harper claims that it's better to be respected then liked. On the contrary, Mr. Harper is making a huge error when it comes to this, usually you are only respected if you are liked and Mr. Harper probably is not very well liked personally by the Canadian Public. Yet these two go hand in hand. I can think of very few instances where someone is respected more then they are liked and Stephen Harper just does not constitute any respect from me, he hasn't earned it.

Finally, Mr. Harper has shown he "gots no cojones" on Afghanistan. Mr. Harper in pseudo-GWB style uses Republic Pollster Frank Luntz phrases such as "cut and run, tax relief, made-in-Canada , God bless Canada". Mr. Harper has started uses phrases to replace the truth, when you hear the words "Mission in Afghanistan" that is a lie, this is no mission, this is a war and he is simply throwing in mission because if he used the word "War" there would be a good chance of anti-war protesters clamoring in the streets singing "War, What is it good for, absolutely nothing!"

So I expect the Trolling Tory brigade to come in here and claim how great there leader is, personally, I tell you not to bother because we already have enough tory propaganda in this country right now and I don't need to hear any of your bullshit.

Why Congressmen Alan Mollohan and William Jefferson Should Step Down

Two Democratic Congressmen who are under intense scrutiny and investigation have the duty to step aside from Congress and re-election. The Democrats cannot claim to be the party of the ethics if we have people like Alan Mollohan and William Jefferson in this party.

On April 25, 2006, The Wall Street Journal reported that Mollohan cooperated with CEO Dale R. McBride of FMW Composite Systems Inc. of Bridgeport, West Virginia for the joint purchase of his 300 acre farm along West Virginia's Cheat River. Mollohan had directed a $2.1 million government contract earmarked to FWM composite systems to develop lightweight payload pallets for space-shuttle missions. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have started asking questions in Washington and West Virginia about Mollohan’s investments and whether they were properly disclosed, according to the Journal. Mollohan had previously admitted he may have made "inadvertent" mistakes on financial disclosure forms.1

While this is pretty bad, Mollohan still has the duty to step aside from Congress and not run for re-election we do not need these kinds of people in the Democratic Party because that gives the republicans ammo to fire at us and claim the Democrats are hypocrites.

Mollohan still however doesn't hold a candle to William Jefferson of New Orleans, who is insanely corrupt.

On July 30, 2005, he was caught on video tape by the FBI accepting a $100,000 dollar bribe in $100 dollar bills in a leather briefcase at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Arlington. Jefferson told an investor, Lori Mody, who was wearing a wire, that he would need to give Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar $500,000 "as a motivating factor" to make sure they obtained contracts for iGate and Mody's company in Nigeria.

A few days later, on Aug 3, 2005, FBI agents raided Jefferson's home in Northeast Washington and, as noted in an 83-page affidavit filed to support a subsequent raid on his Congressional office, "found $90,000 of the cash in the freezer, in $10,000 increments wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed inside frozen-food containers."

Late in the night of May 20, 2006, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Jefferson's office in the Rayburn House Office Building. The New Orleans Times-Picayune has received details of the allegations and published them on Monday, May 22.2

Jefferson has no right anymore to be a member of congress, he has the utmost duty to resign from congress immediately, Mollohan may have been steering contracts, but both ethically-charged congressmen hurt the democratic argument about corruption when they tolerate two kinds of people like this. They have no right to be members of the party anymore.

So please, Howard Dean force these criminals to resign immediately.

Go West Young Lad

Gerard Kennedy's decision to not rule out a bid for running in the west is not a bad move by him, in fact I had thought it would be great if he would run in his native Manitoba, I have the perfect riding for him, it's held by Rod Bruinooge currently and its called Winnipeg South, I am almost certain that Kennedy would be able to steam roll over Mr. Bruinooge if he ran there. That would then leave Bob Rae to try his hand at trying to capture the Parkdale-High Park seat from Peggy Nash,

Gerard Kennedy is showing that he is open to all of Canada and that he wants to be Canada's prime minister not Toronto's prime minister. Observe the brilliance of Gerard Kennedy.

The man has already decided to live in Quebec for two months of the summer and that is a brilliant move on his part, If he does live in Quebec, he would legitimately be able to claim he has experienced all of Canada (except for Atlantic Canada). He would also be able to get a diverse viewpoint from all the people in Canada. This is a smart move on his behalf and it shows that Gerard Kennedy is not afraid to take a risk when the dividends could definitely help him.

I'm Going to the LPCO

In a few hours, I'll be taking the short train ride into Toronto from Oakville, Tonight is going to be magical, after hearing the informal leaders forum. 10:00 everyone parties down and you can find hospitality suites, I'll be going to Gerard Kennedy's which is on Executive Suite Floor 4, Queen Tower, Friday 10pm-Midnight, Saturday 9 PM-Midnight.

I should also share that while I have met Gerard and while he probably wouldn't remember me when I met him last summer at the OLP AGM, I have recently discovered that I have a possible family relation to Mr. Kennedy.

My Uncle Digby Wright's Father Arthur Wright, was good friends with Betty Kennedy and Gerard Kennedy Sr., While I am still unsure if these are his parents or grand parents. What I do know is Arthur definitely knew one of the Kennedy relatives, because Digby mentioned that they owned a shirt factory in Winnipeg, Manitoba. That would definitely put in my mind that has definitely got to be Gerard because as all of you know Gerard was born in Manitoba. I couldn't believe I heard this and I intend tonight, if I can get a conversation with Mr. Kennedy to mention this story to him. If I can confirm it there will be a post. I will probably not be having another post on this website until late sunday as I will have no time to blog tommorow having had to get up bright and early to catch the train.
