Best Canadian Blog
2004 - 2007
Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Does Canada have an extradition agreement with the US over fleeing felons? Oh yeah it was a liberal government that killed that – professional courtesy?
Gives added cachet to William F Buckley’s dictum, “I’d rather be governed by the first hundred names in the phone book than by the faculty of Harvard.”
No doubt Iggy encouraged him to ‘follow’.
At this rate Harvard will soon be known as the Graveyard for Losers.
As much as I agree this is pure gravy for someone like McGuinty, I’m of the opinion that the phrase “those that can do, those that can’t teach” has become part of the reason there are so few truly vocational teachers in the world these days. If we encouraged more of those “who can” into teaching rather than leaving it to self-interested liberals, we might just start improving the world.

‘Just like Moron, aka Mayor David, Miller’s sinecures at
* NYU to teach courses on finding technological solutions to urban problems. LOL, after he gutted Toronto’s infrastructure and caved to every developer and public sector union;
* his appointment to the World Bank as an advisor on urban issues (guffaw); and
* his appointment as president and CEO of WWF-Canada, the Canadian division of the international World Wildlife Fund (cue the monkey sounds).
Now this disgraceful sincecure for McGuilty: Unfortunately, Harvard’s reputation is unlikely to be tarnished as it’s already as black as it can get. Didn’t Harvard take Iggy back? No doubt the Count is one of McGuilty’s references.
The best comment on the Star (spit…) article was, “Even Dalton had to leave Ontario to get a job”.
Dalton McGuinty headed to Harvard for prestigious fellowship
Why, what for? To teach more students how to lie, shaft the taxpayers and just generally screw up an economy?
The thing about Miller is he will helping to dream up more leftist crap to screw up the world and freedom.
How the mighty have fallen………….Harvard that is.
The quality of Harvard has fallen as low as the Nobel prize, both are sad jokes and shadows of the pretigious nature they once had.
McGimpy should be elsewhere (jail?), considering his unethical, duplicitous, and bankrupt ways. In reality, he’s joining his fellow cohorts, with similar ‘qualitie’ at Harvard.
He will get his fellowship in the department of Chicanery.
Where all ex-politicians who where obsessive liars end up.

“He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.”

So what’s he gonna teach?
Economics?
Ethics?
Someone tell Aaron Clarey. When he brings out a second edition of “Worthless” he can quote
this appointment as a good bad example.
I’m curious why people seem to think that getting an education at Harvard is superior than going to the local state university? McSquinty is a watermelon ideologue, kleptocrat and total incompetent who took what was probably the best electricity generation system in Canada and crippled it. About the only good thing one can say about him (aside from deciding to resign) is that he didn’t shut down the nuclear reactors which produce some of the cleanest power in the country.
OTOH, since Harvard now appears to be a training center for statist kleptocrats, the spawn of the political class can go there to learn how to implement statism and fleece the ever decreasing productive members of society. In such a rarified environment, McSquinty isn’t seen as a incompetent watermelon moron, but rather as a shining example of a successful member of the political class. The society that the political class is aiming for appears to be modeled on Haiti where a small select group of entitled people have almost all of the money and the vast majority of the population is so busy just trying to survive that their enlightened overlords are in no danger of being overthrown.
What could Harvard students learn from the most destructive politician in Ontario history? How to ruin their country?
The Americans have a president who is already on that path. They hardly need McGuinty.
McLiar could teach a course on how to lie and win big in politics. Harvard would be better off with a garden gnome for the students to stare at while they meditate.
Loki’s right. Dalton McGUILTY will fit right in at Harvard. They know their own…
Maybe Bob Rae can go down there and keep him company. They can do a tag-team and teach hen-humping…Ontario rules, of course.
