What are we going to do tonight, Brain?

...."one is a genius,the other is insane"...

Harper is the most evil politician on the face of the planet, just tune into any MSM comments page if you doubt it.

I wonder what Steyer's real connection to the anti-Keystone project is, surely he doesn't stand to gain filthy MONEY if it's stopped!

I read that article about hyper-partisan Democrat Steyer, and my thoughts? "What do you expect from a pig, but a grunt?"

Harper -- he uses his power only for good.

Let me guess...artificially restricting supply by putting the kibosh on Keystone XL, the energy prices stay high and the billionaire is a net beneficiary of such a policy.

Cha ching!

You know, oddly enough, I expect Stephen Harper to do what is in Canada's best interests. I think that it is perfectly legitimate for him to advocate the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. I think that it is perfectly legitimate for that advocacy to include contacting American politicians who might vote on it.

I also think that, while Tom Steyer certainly has the constitutional right to, it is out of line for him to be demanding that Stephen Harper answer his questions.

The problem is that Steyer is a billionaire. He was born with a silver spoon and has moved up to a 64 piece platinum tableware set over the years. While no doubt a very smart man, because of his upbringing and lifestyle he simply can not relate to the "little people". His life is now devoted to idealism, while making buckets of money by creating numerous agenda driven non-profits (money shell game) and to be sure, some not so non-profits. Maybe he is a visionary, a man with a grasp of the BIG PICTURE as he likes to think of himself, but clearly he cannot vision the life of those living paycheck to paycheck and thus they don't enter into his vision. HE KNOWS BEST as a member of the elite class.

Climate change and alternative energy are his focus. He doesn't know how hypocritical he sounds when he accuses Steven Harper of lobbying. You could put a mirror in front of Steyer's face and he wouldn't recognize that a lobbyist is looking back at him.

He reminds me a lot of the current mayor of New York City. A man by the name of Bloomberg.

There's this bit in the Globe article:

"The president “couldn’t [approve the project] fundamentally, since the work had not been completed and he had no choice but to deny the permit.”

Rubbish. The work was complete, and that's what State Department reviewed and approved. It was the White House added new conditions after the fact. I do sympathize with TransCanada; it's absolutely no fun at all trying to do a major energy infrastructure project with a load of Green slime running the President.

When a self-made person speaks, I generally pay a little heed out of deference to their demonstrated ability to be successful at something, namely wealth accumulation.

When a self-made person's progeny speaks, unfortunately I am sometimes suckered into momentarily listening to what they have to say. This should change.

I suggest we develop a nomenclature that can identify these "born-into great wealth" types, so they can easily be recognized, and told to get back to playing in their sandbox of gold dust before they waste too much of our time.

Perhaps something like "billionaire-in-law"?

As in all cases of revisionist zeal, just follow the money. Expect Steyer to enter politics shortly. Hedge fund billionaire has less appeal to the brainwashed voter than Gaia's savior and re inventing himself is a mandatory first step.

And he's on a cliff with a unhindered view of the San Francisco Bridge.
When the big one hits, we just have to hope he's at home and not in his private jet.
Like Suzuki, Gore, et al, he wants to see the world's population reduced to "us four and no more", but they've never said how they'll accomplish it.

another stupid lefty joo, or maybe joe will correct me on this:-)))

I think the makers of Grand theft Auto 5 had Steyer in mind when they created Impotent Rage, The Liberal Super Hero...

This is a must watch...15 minutes of LYAO...

@Dick Slater: Thanks for the connection. Risky Business.org is run by Next Generation, one of those "non-profits" I referred to. Here is their mission statement:

"Next Generation takes lessons learned from California, America’s largest, most populous state, and helps spread innovative ideas that can be enacted through public policy, private enterprise, families, and individuals."

But remember, Steyer is NOT a lobbyist, rather he's a forward looking advocate .... or something like that.

Harper is not clever enough by an order of magnitude to pull that off.

If this is remotely true, thank you Mr. Harper, thank you, thank you, thank you.....

Again, Canada is in a global trade war with forces funded by Saudi Arabia. Their object is to prevent oil development in Fort Mac, a direct threat to their interests.

Harper should be extraditing all their agents form Canada. There is little difference between these agents and the cops who were selling info to the Hells Angels.
