  1. Roy Green had Libby Davies on his talk show today.
    What a total waste of voting space that woman is.
    CKNW 980 should have it in the archives tomorrow have a listen and think about thanking Roy for his work.

  10. Shouldn’t you guys be calling radio talk shoes with the Harper-prescribed talking points? Fire up the knee jerk rhetoric machine! They’re not going to get their message across without the Harper Youth!

  11. [ “When it comes to the funding and subsidies that political parties get, we just don’t think it’s worth getting into an election on that issue,” Transport Minister John Baird said in an interview.
    “We won’t be proceeding.” Globe
    Liberals panic over being cutoff from largess.
    Liberals sell soul to Separatists.
    Montreal liberals have eyes opened.
    It is revealed – Liberals needed Separatists all along.
    Liberals will do anything to maintain BQ.
    PM Harper says gotcha – shelves subsidy cuts (for now?)
    Liberals have shown all their true colors.
    Biggest prize here ?
    All Canadians now know that their hard earned tax money is handed over to a Party whose only reason for being is to destroy Canada – and it’s tax payers. Liberals want to keep this arrangement.
    The Media has hid the BQ subsidy all along – even the last few days.
    Canadians now know the media also does not care about Canada – just their “business model”.
    Pathetic.

  12. Come on and vote for the West’s last/best reason to leave, and while you’re at it send the PQ a donation to support their very very worthwhile cause.

  13. Once we name the party can we have a contest for by-lines as well??
    “Canada’s New Government: Unelected, and Unaccountable”

  15. I put this up last night, but the server messed up…on my end maybe
    Left, Lefter, and Leftist
    I see somebody came close to that.
    The Bloc of Entitled Democrats

  16. Turns out Harper wrote a letter some time ago to the GG, outlining the possibility of him, Duceppe and Layton forming a coalition against the Liberals. Ouch. That really doesn’t bode well for his ‘undemocratic, working with separatists and socialists’ message. It sounds a wee bit hypocritical.
    Burn, baby, burn.

  17. capt_bob,
    If you listened to Roy Green’s show today, you probably also heard his bit with Bob Rae.
    I still can’t believe I actually heard Rae say the conservatives didn’t ‘really’ win this last election.
    As usual, when Harper does something that disappoints me, the Liberal Party of Canada rears up and reminds me what true paertisan arrogance is. Without the life-support system of the MSM, the LPC would have died a natural death after Adscam.

  19. What’s going on here is that the Liberals have a leader who essentially has nothing to lose with a Hail Mary stunt like this.
    Dion is bitter over losing the election and he’s bitter over being sidelined afterwards. This is his last and only chance to be PM.
    I can’t imagine that Iggy and his supporters are anything but furious over Dion’s move. Iggy’s plan was to give Harper a pass until May, at which time he would likely be the Liberal leader, and then fight an election in the fall. This latest tactic, if successful, would throw a huge monkey wrench into his plans.
    This move is not a coup d’etat against Harper; rather, it’s a coup d’etat by Dion against his own party. He’s quite happy to roll the dice and run the party into the ground if need be.
    Harper should instruct the GG to call an election if a non-confidence vote passes. Then, Dion can spend a few weeks explaining to the voting public how it is in the best interest of Canada to allow the Bloc to essentially run the country.

  20. Anything but Harper. But do people know what they will be getting if the you-can’t-cut-our-political party-funding Coalition gets into power? What is their so-called stimulus package? Big bucks from the oil patch? We all know with the left, it’s all about oil.

  21. “Without the life-support system of the MSM, the LPC would have died a natural death after Adscam.” Canadian MSM kept the corrupt Chretien machine in power by wilful blindness to the corruption.
    The current Canadian MSM is still leftist and corrupt.
    Vote for the West’s last/best reason to leave.

  22. “What is their so-called stimulus package?”
    Hey, Iggy, is that your stimulus package or are you just happy to see me?

  23. anone
    maybe if you try hard you’d be able to see a slight difference between the two situations
    now try real hard, as I know critical thinking isn’t a leftist forte

  24. Remember, there is an election taking place now for a separate WESTERN CANADA, it’s the Quebec Provincial Election, SUPPORT the PQ, the rest is easy. As much as I like Harper it’s still the numbers, they are against us and always will be, VOTE FOR THE WEST’S LAST/BEST REASON TO LEAVE.

  26. Yes, the West should pick this time to leave. History will record that the Harper government presided over the separation of the West. Where so many governments kept the Canada and Quebec together, the first Alliance/Reform leader that took office (albeit under the Conservative banner) was also the first to split the country. What a legacy for him.

  27. Hope that we get the opportunity to march in the streets if this government falls.
    I, as a senior, would be the first in line to protest this alliance of the dumb and dumber.
    Give the Bloc the $30 million and not a penny more to start their own country. Goodbye – it’s been nice knowing you.
    Why we allow and pay these people a salary and a pension to mess up our wonderful country is beyond me.
    “I am so disgusted with MSM, Libs, NDP + I could tear my hair out.”

  29. Hey anon, I cannot think of a greater legacy for Steven Harper than being the person with the brains and balls, something no liberal possesses, to split this dysfunctional country up. The very reason is that separatists live off you and me and idiots like you support it. As a hard working Albertan I am so sick of Quebec welfare bums all of them, they can take their arts and their poutine and their money sucking lazy asses and get the hell out! Alberta sends 9 billion a year to Quebec, make me believe they are anything more than welfare bums. As westernerers send money east you ungrateful bastards keep voting for failure, can’t think of a better reason to break Canada up, can you.

  30. bartinsky:
    Well I sure hope that Harper feels the same way – and I urge you and all of your like-minded friends to pressure Harper to let Canadians know about this issue. I sincerely hope that Harper will respect your wishes and let all of Canada know that he wants to split the country.
    I assure you, the day he announces that desire will be a great day for Canada. Maybe not for the reasons you think, however.

  32. Scuttlebutt around the news bloggers has the Tories already flip flopping on the political “give me” tax. I certainly hope that it is not true otherwise we will have ourselves a lame duck parliament and government. Those who give into blackmail will never get out from under it.

  33. To Captain Bob et al, I’ve provided all the links to Roy Green’s show here: http://pelalusa.blogspot.com/2008/11/roy-greens-coverage-of-canadas.html
    To our anonymous troll, anyone who thinks that what is occurring is “Canadian” or in the spirit of democracy has clearly been smoking too much BC Bud. Should the immediate gloating of you and your Radical Left ilk actually transpire to the Cabal de Trois taking over power then there will be serious, serious repercussions for decades to come.
    Government needs the respect of the people in order to function in any democracy. While this doesn’t matter to anarchists or the Radical Left (not sure if there’s a difference between those 2 groups?!) it does matter to the rest of us. Hold another election and if the Conservatives don’t get the most votes then we’ll accept that. What’s proposed here we will not.

  35. Anon wrote: “Why do you guys hate Canada?”
    Ahah. The essential conceit of a liberal: we represent Canada and thus, if you don’t like us, well then, you must ‘hate Canada’.
    Anon, we don’t hate Canada – in fact we LOVE Canada. We just hate to see our potential squandered, our taxes stolen and abused (Adscam anyone?) our largesss towards Quebec unappreciated and to be thought of as fools by entitled Liberals.
    You on the otherhand make truck and trade with socialists and treasonous politicians who would knowingly and willingly destroy the country that our forefathers so carefully built.
    Still, after all that, we don’t hate the sinner but rather their sins. And we will continue to help you to see the error in your ways.

  36. Anyone who believes the Grits and Dippers are frantically plotting to take power so they can start governing the country while one of the worst recessions since WWII gets underway should immediately change their retailer of recreational pharmaceuticals.
    Listening to all the media whores beating the coalition war drums is sort of amusing, considering their lack of results in the recent election.

  37. Which coalition are you talking about? Which coalition representing the majority of voters and Parliament are you referring to as being so “anti-democratic” and unconstitutional?
    This one perhaps?

    Excellency,
    As leaders of the opposition parties, we are well aware that, given the Liberal minority government, you could be asked by the Prime Minister to dissolve the 38th Parliament at any time should the House of Commons fail to support some part of the government’s program.
    We respectfully point out that the opposition parties, who together constitute a majority in the House, have been in close consultation. We believe that, should a request for dissolution arise this should give you cause, as constitutional practice has determined, to consult the opposition leaders and consider all of your options before exercising your constitutional authority.
    Your attention to this matter is appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.
    Leader of the Opposition
    Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada
    Gilles Duceppe, M.P.
    Leader of the Bloc Quebecois
    Jack Layton, M.P.
    Leader of the New Democratic Party

  39. “Remember Adscam?”
    Oh here we go: “But but but remember ADSCAM!!!! 13 years!!! Liberal mismanagement!!! boondoggle!!! uh, uh, uh….Chretien!!! anti-US!!! Clinton got a blowjob – wait, that one doesn’t work here…uh, uh, uhhhhh REGISTRY!!! umm, uhhhhh …. need something in the last 5 years at least…..”
    And that’s when the Harperbot short circuits from talking point repetition failure, or TPRF. It affects 9/10 righttards. Only a few mentally disabled loons are able to function with it perpetually…e.g., Ezra.

  40. “Give the Bloc the $30 million and not a penny more to start their own country. Goodbye – it’s been nice knowing you.”
    NO!
    If they leave, not only should the get NOTHING, but they should take with them a per-capita share of the national debt!

  41. the 3 parties to a coalition agree:
    -Kyoto must be honored (these 3 already passed a PMB thru parliament, best fast track is a carbon tax)
    -Shut down the Oilsands
    -Oil and Gas industry is the pollutor that must pay, Ontario/Quebec polluting industries need a bailout, now
    -the West will now have to shut up and pay

  42. Nice to see THE WEST’S LAST/BEST IS GAINING GROUND. It’s funny what a silly little poll like this can do in the right hands, and it has been passed along, another mountain out of a mole hill, you never know?

  43. and the billion dollars went missing from human resource development ?……i guess that was chickenfeed too…and yes the gun registry…and yes Fonzi’s pecculation….and yes shawinigate…and yes adscam indeed….and yes an unending litany of incompetence self interest double dipping thievery that would embarrass a bank robber…
    so what is it exactly you have against PMSH and the conservative party removing bums like these types of lllieberals from any control of policy or the exchequer ?

  45. Ted,
    Ouch! There’s such Harpocrisy in this Conservative Party.
    And silence reigns. And they are worried, very worried. I’m now seeing Harper not only as a hypocrite, but as someone that I’ve greatly overestimated. His fumbling and bungling during an election campaign when he was poised to earn his dearly coveted majority made me take notice.
    Now, after urging parties to put aside their petty partisanship in order to focus on our ailing economy, Harper thinks it a good time to turn on the opposition and try to wipe them out for good. Even the Toronto Sun today published a cartoon recognizing the symbolic tightening of the belt for what it was: a desperate and ill timed attempt to finish off his opposition. I see that an anxious Harper has suddenly retreated and no longer intends to kill subsidies to political parties. Too late, no putting that one back in the bag.
    Thankfully, Harper isn’t as thoughtful and methodical as he thinks he is. I don’t think he saw it coming that in about a week’s time he’s finished as Prime Minister, having no one but himself to blame.

  46. Yes Ted and anon – ADSCAM and all those secret trust funds – like the Turdo er Trudeau Foundation, all the money the head Liberanos made from paying Saddam Hussein our $$ for oil (instead of food) and then dumping it on the market for a big profit – that is usury, my goofs! Those unscrupulous, evil profiteers and the UN outfit put their own pocketbooks ahead of the access to food and medical care for the defeated Iraqiis. Put that in your bubble gum pipes and puff (I am certain that neither one of you have ever smoked tobacco – at least never inhaled!). The three stooges (Dips/puffins/blocheads) have shown their true colors to the whole nation – naked greed!!
    We, the people, are not finished with those three scumbags; we will be demanding that the Blocheads be cut off from tax dollars – funding TRAITORS- Imagine that?? Only in Canada. We will be squawking about the secret stashes of tax $$ – we need that money for our country! The MSM are in big trouble too, the way the mouthpieces for the three stooges have played this out is nothing short of purgery. They will not be on the ‘funding list’ either.
    Some of those money grubbers/crooks need to cool their heels in a jailhouse.
    Times are about to get rough for the three stooges and their yapping MSM. And the old, craven Dipper, Broadbent and Puffin, Cretin getting involved. They are criminals, old, pathetic, IMO. I was a little shocked that Ed was there, I used to semi respect him and I did not think that he would sink that low.

  47. In the “that was then but this is now file”, here’s some more gold from Harper back when he claimed to have principles and believed in things other than just power. (The full interview transcript with Evan Solomon can be found here: http://www.cbc.ca/sunday/harper.html):
    Harper: Well there are lots of things that could bring the government down, but my opposition can not bring the government down. The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House. And the first obligation in this Parliament, if the government wants to govern, it has to come to Parliament and it has to show that it can get the support of the majority of members, through the Throne Speech, through legislation, and through budget and supply, and the government to this point has made no effort to do that, but that’s its first obligation.
    Solomon: But you are a key player at that, let’s not make any mistake – courting Stephen Harper is very important if it wants to stay in power, no?
    Harper: We’ll support the government on issues if it’s essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government, our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians. What the government has to do, if it wants to govern for any length of time, is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it.[…]
    Solomon: Would you describe this government’s position because of its lack of consultation as precarious?
    Harper: I’d describe it more as arrogant. And I think the real problem that we’re facing already is that the government doesn’t accept that it got a minority.
    And this line (the last line is the best):
    Harper: Canadians want the Parliament to work – but look we’re not going to roll over to agree with the government just so they can stay in office. But as I say we’ve been away from minority government’s for so long we’ve forgotten how they work. The government is still the government. The official Opposition is still the Official Opposition. And these two parties are still going to battle for govenrment in the next election. And that’s how the system works. There’s going to be other parties, the third parties and that’s usually where the government’s going to have to seek its mandate to try to get a majority in the House of Commons and it’s – that’s really their primary responsibility. They’ve got to get these other parties supporting them regularly or they can’t command the confidence of the House. And the same would be true for me if I had the most seats, I would have to find a way of governing.
    —————-
    So a minority government’s “first obligation” is to get the support of Parliament, it is “arrogant” not to consult with the other parties, and “the same would be true for me if I had the most seats”. I agree.
    I’m sure he’s regretting a lot of that interview right about now. I’m sure there is a lot more quotations to mine that he will regret having said.

  48. I have been browsing the various news sites and blog for the past day and a half. It is incredible the amount of name-calling the “well-educated, politically-correct”, are resorting to against anyone that is not of their views.
    Over at http://www.heritagereport.org there is an interesting comment on the (il)logic of Liberals. Seems they’re far less liked than they like to let on.

  49. What an incredible amount of not-so-gracious name-calling and spite is spewing from the libs and their supporters on the various news and blog sites. When the best you can do is resort to name-calling, you really have no logical argument to present.
    You can almost taste the poison off their pens.
    http://www.heritagereport.org has a good take on the stats that the Liberals and their supporters are using about how so many Canadians didn’t vote for the Conservatives so they can throw them out of government and step in there themselves.
