Sometimes a Broken Clock Isn't Even Correct Twice a Day

Yeah, but Harper should make Joe Clark his "Aboriginal Envoy" because of his deep understanding of the file and his conservative credentials... Snort, Hahaahahahhaahhhhaaaaa, I couldn't keep a straight face writing that!

Sometimes I think having the Conservatives in government hasn't changed nearly as much as I'd like. But I'd like to thank Paul Martin for coming back and reminding me how truly dire things were under the Liberals.

Yes Kevin, it's changed things a lot. First, remember the Kelowna Accord. 'Nuff said.

Second, the Harper government achieved a revolution in health care funding and practice, but one not much noticed in this forum. Last year the government said to the provinces, "We're fattening up the transfer payments, but forget about any discussion of a national healthcare strategy. It's your responsibility."

No longer can the provinces play the game of ratcheting up the requirements of the national healthcare plan and then use that to extort more money out of the feds. The game of blackmail is over. And even better, there's no annual fed-prov first ministers' meeting anymore. That was another useless forum that bled more money to the provinces. So now, they're just useless mutual whining fests. And their futility is shown by the fact that Brad Wahl didn't even bother to show up for the one last year.

Next, notice something else. Harper inherited an expensive and bloody intervention in Afghanistan, thanks to Paul Martin. He's got us out of that exercise in futility. He intervened in Libya, but in a sufficiently defined way that we're now out of that too. In short, he's got us out of foreign entanglements and not created any new ones.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Canada led the way of nations walking out of the Kyoto Accord. We were followed by New Zealand, Japan and Russia. Give it time and Canada may well be the first nation to walk out of UNFCCC and oh-god-make-it-happen Agenda 21, and then we'll really be getting somewhere on this ridiculous climate change file.

Never in a million years would the Liberals or Dip-Sh!tters have done any of those things. Just go listen to any rerun of any speech by Lloyd Axworthy if you don't believe me.

Re: Audit`

Don`t forget the cost of the helicopter that will be used to deliver Theresa`s Chinese fish soup!! Just look under Chop Huey.

If I was thinking the exact same thought as Brigitte Pellerin, it means I'm as smart as Brigitte Pellerin, right? RIGHT? (Crickets.)

Here's CBC reminding us how fortunate we are that neither they nor Paul Martin is running the country.

Skip down to the comments, sorted according to most popular. We're winning.

Hey, anyone else notice that "$100 million provided by the federal government to Attawapiskat between April 2005 and November 2011 " with next to no accountability coincides with the CPC's term in office?

What does PMSH have to say about shovelling that much money into a reserve with barely a receipt or an invoice for a new Escalade to show for it? Or is the CPC off the hook? Remember, Chief Boo Boo only accepted the $. Someone in Ottawa had to okay it.

It is said that a stopped clock is right twice a day. A clock that runs a second slow every day is only right every 118 years. Paul Martin isn't broken - he's just a little slow.

The editors at the CBC must be wondering what went wrong in the comment section. Same bullshit they usually print but for some reason they are getting different responses and they know their usual blank left readers can't all be at the Idle-no-more protests. Perhaps the silent eye rolling majority has just had enough of their BS. At the very least it should send them a message.

Is the media CBC, CTV, GLOBAL going to dig deeper, and ask the tough questions CANADIAN

TAXPAYERS want answered??

One would be tempted to think that Paul Martin thinks his timing was way off.

But that would require shame and brains.

This is very serious stuff revealed by this audit.

Why hasn't anyone flipped this over to look at it from the other direction?

This audit has been in the works for a long time, and the release of its findings have been imminent for some time now.

Under any other circumstances, it seems to me a full blown criminal investigation, including a forensic audit of all involved, would be pending forthwith.

...if you get my drift.

Dang, I switched off the DVD player and found myself staring at "The National" on CBC. One of their experts, a Ms. Scrimshaw, was saying, "50% of native youth are under 25". WHAT? I thought all of their youth were under 25! I swiftly turned the idiot box off. That is what passes for quality comment on the CBC?

Does anyone know if he brought his air guitar with him?

I'm in awe. That CTV allowed this guy to equate general acceptance of malfeasant native fiscal management to a redeeming religious event. He never even asked this chubby native politician to dlarify this religious metaphor in light of the damning auditors report. Canada's MSM is so deficient.

Newman is still as flaccid as ever.

I called one of those CPAC call in shows during Paul Martin's brief tenure as "Panderer in Chief".

The Liberal talking head on the show was defending Martin's transparency, saying that ADSCAM was overblown. He kept yammering on about transparency this...transparency that.....

When the time came for me to say my piece, I didn't bother with my original point, but instead said:

" I find myself in the strange position of having to agree with "talking heads name here" but Martin's transparency has nothing to do with ethics or accountability. Instead, I think Martin's Transparency is more due to the fact the man is so lacking in substance, you can see right through him"

Needless to say, CPAC apparently had technical difficulties at that time and I was disconnected.

Nice to see Paul Martin's record as a duffus stands to this day, given his continued panering to the Natives.

Whoa...

what happened there?

This is my first time pay a visit at here and i am in fact pleassant to read
all at one place.

See, I'm an American, and almost everything I've seen about this is from my kneejerk-Liberal Canadian friends.

So I don't know much about it - and little that I remotely trust.

But I do know that if you make your exposes or rebuttals in the form of videos I'm never going to look at them, because I can't watch a video (effectively) while at work, and it's a lot slower than text.

I stopped paying attention to Bill Whittle, for God's sake, when he moved to video.

Type things out, people. Use links, too.

Video is bad. It's fragile, it's slow, it can't be searched or easily referenced, it makes too much of an issue of looks and voice, and it's far too easily prone to pure propaganda.
