  1. Kate – excellent response. In our close family, there are eight young’uns five and under, so that picture really hit home. PM Harper spoke well when he said the picture reminded Lauren and himself of Ben at that age; all ours are there. But the attempts by the NDP and the Liberals to capitalize during the election with lies and feigned outrage just sickens us.
    Reminds me of when, back in the day, there was a TV program about the birth of Jesus and Herod’s killing of the young children. Our nephew, back then, would have been of an age to be murdered. That story hit home as it never had.
    That being said, I am all in favour of bringing more refugees over. Only I would give preference to the Christians and Yazidis who have no refuge anywhere in the Middle East; least of all Turkey where apparently this family had lived for several years rent-free. As for the Muslims: let the Saudis, Yemenis, etc. – all of which are Muslim – take their turn providing for their own.

  2. Gerald Butts goes electorally bust!
    Defining the meaning of “Butthead” in campaign politics.
    Yep, Butts and “True-Dope-ia 2.0″ guttersnipes who go so low, that they have to look up at a viper’s belly.
    Dead babies for cash…isn’t that the Planned Barrenhood modus operandi?
    ” wow. Those dead boys raising a lot of money for you? Is this what you’ve reduced the Liberal party to? $$$”

  3. We should just let them yap on this one. Then the voter will find only two of the three parties are the same. Canada will never be generous enough for the complain and blame crowd. Look at Trudeau, in his 45+ years of life and experience as a drama teacher, he’s never seen anything like it, that Harper fellow, and well darn it, he’s not going to stand for it. For elucidation he might want to read his father’s memoirs. Mulcair is just the left’s version of Paul Martin, everything’s a priority unless he doesn’t agree with it then it’s “nothing.” Sure, “nothing” like approaching a $billion for the area.
    But he’d do “better.” Where were their bright ideas when the area was imploding? Where were their bright ideas when the price of oil started to fall? The reason they argue anybody would be better than Harper is because they haven’t got anybody better than Harper to carry the statist banner.
    The most amusing has been all these polls with all these questions: besides Harper, who would you most like to see possibly as PM? They all come in along partisan lines but somehow we can “interpret” many things, all bad news for Harper.
    The fact is the voter doesn’t care about politics right now. The voters have simply placed the parties at the starting gate, then the race starts after Labour Day, but it will be a marathon not a sprint. Fortunately the mediocracy don’t get to decide the issues any more, but they’ll sell their souls trying.
    Then the progressives will actually have to explain how their mishmash of contradictions, memes and false narratives mesh together in a coherent program of government, and the Tories ready with a campaign to do just that asking Canadians questions such as, how do tax increases make you better off? The mediocracy will help them for as long as they can, they’re both all in with their greenie bluff, but the voter has seen their hand. It’s hard to believe the voters will do that.
    Then again we live in profound times.

  4. The hard working Trudeau? That punk ass kid hasn’t worked a hard day in his entire spoiled brat life.

  5. My church has sponsored two refugee families in the past decade. It has been and continues to be a great experience!
    Trudeau made almost half a million last year on speaking gigs. He can afford to sponsor a refugee family all on his own. I know whereof I speak here. But does he do so? No. He lectures us on how un-Canadian we are. And he lets Gerald Butts use a dead child as a money raising tool. Beyond disgusting.

  6. Would really like to see his T1 to see just how much he and the family donate to charities, and to whom. Christians, as a whole, are the greatest donators according to CRA, and not just to “Christian” charities: they seem to take seriously the injunction that “to whom is much given, much is much expected”.

  7. Sky News has a video of the aunt saying that the father was trying to get to Europe to have his teeth fixed.

  8. For a lifetime donation of $1000 or more we will send you a set of 3 LPC square radials that balance themselves.

  9. No, Cal, it doesn’t say you can lie. It says you should lie, if it furthers the goals of Islam. Dar al Harb must be brought into the fold by any means available.

  10. The strange thing is the Trudeau s are rich because of imperial oil. They bought out his grandperes gas stations, Pierre didn’t have to work either, flaked around for years before finding his philosophical bent for fooling the hoi polloi . Justine has inherited his fathers fake concern for the middle class
    Pierre Trudeau went canoeing when his country went to war. A very late bloomer born in 1919′ shows
    up with the libs around 1968 an acedemic , just a little higher than a drama teacher, Justine at 44 is a stellar worker having a snowboard instructor under his belt as well
    JT drives around in a 500000 car, yes half a mil. As the eldest hair apparent he got Pierre’s toy

  11. The claim that Butts is fundraising off dead kids is false. That is a screen shots using text editors to smear him. The proof That Butts did not post that tweet is proven by the fact that we have chosen not to report on this.

  12. I normally agree with you, but I have to disagree this time. I have it in my mind, somehow, that you know quite a bit about Oxford, the riding next door to the one where I live, and that you know quite a bit more than your fair share about things military (probably because you have served).
    Please note that the Ottawa Citizen, which is now, apparently, the self-appointed arbiter of the nation’s business, has now engaged itself in a system of cascading disinformation, in which it is now blaming the “accidental drownings” on a 2012 rule, which applied to Mohammed’s family (since it did apply for refugee status, and did not properly complete the application), and not Abdullah’s (which did not even apply), in response to real and/or perceived abuses of the refugee system in this country. Please see National Newswatch for that story, and the next HDS instalment from the completely unrepentant Glen McGregor (I’ll post the links later).
    Please also see the link in the comment from JoeFrmEdm above: if what is contained in that link is even 50% true, that means we are, literally, in the “fight of our lives”, as all of the disinformation involved is directed at ALL western countries, not just Canada (which just happens to be in an election campaign at the moment, or maybe it’s not coincidental).
    I can tell you, anecdotally, of two reports that I have had:
    – I have been speaking with a friend in the UK that reports to me that David Cameron (a newly-minted majority Conservative PM, has been weakened in the media by his relatively strong stance against the BS at Calais); and that,
    – the “unscientific” polls that Kate has been posting over the past couple of days (hope she’s feeling better, as it’s a matter of national security; I think she is, as she appears to be returning to her natural glory) accord with on-the-ground public opinion: according to my wife, who works with a bunch of would-be NDP-ers in London, the response is simple: “Don’t let them in”.
    Which would mean, of course, that this is now 1988 on steroids and cocaine (not that I’ve ever done either, which I haven’t): the phony war is most decidedly over; our adversaries have taken serious advantage of our good will, preparing the battle space as they see fit), and now is the time to strike back in the most serious terms.
    I believe that the electorate is fully engaged at this point. There is no opportunity, IMO, to “just let them yap”. Say what you will about Brian Mulroney, he rose to the occasion and fought like hell to get that second majority, after the debate with Turner, almost immediately after which the Tories went down, in a Toronto Star poll, 42-27.
    Time for Mr. Harper, personally, to step into his opponents, and get that second majority.

  13. What is so difficult about putting a crew of worker bees on watch calling out every bit of “disinformation” and outright lies printed and spoken by the media party? This stuff if left unchecked can land us a very dangerous situation at a very dangerous time. Neither Mulcair or Trudeau’s brains behind the curtain are fit to keep us safe and afloat.
    I want Mr Harper to put on his steel toed boots and start stepping on the worms as they crawl out.

  14. David Southam’s just above yours and yours are absolutely correct. It is way past time for the CPC to develop some brass balls and push back against the media misinformation and outright biased lies. I also thought that during the 2011 election campaign. The CPC lets them get away with it, and they have no media shilling and covering for them like the Liberals and NDP have.

  15. We do not print outright lies nor speak them. We stick to advancing half truths. And we are in no way trying to influence Canadian voters to vote either Liberal or NDP. We are just trying to make sure they don’t vote for the CPC.
    Disclaimer: I am mocking the Media Party not defending them. Ken (Kulak) and Justthinkin were unable to see that I was being ironic in my posts on previous threads. I hope I don’t have to post this disclaimer for future comments. It should be clear that I am being facetious in my defense of the Media Party, similar to what @turdeau does on his twitter page and sometimes here. He isn’t actually a supporter of Trudeau. Read more carefully.

  16. Your moniker “Media Party Spokesperson” is a giveaway, it’s admitting to being a party which they would never do!

  17. I’m impressed with Butts.
    He hasn’t deleted his Tweet immediately after getting a large backlash.

  18. MPS – one of my favourite posters on townhall.com in the states was someone who identified as “Loyal Democrat” who did exactly has you’ve been trying, but would typically have 3 or 4 paragraphs that were internally inconsistent but that showed exactly the errors in logic that were prevalent in progressive thinkers at the time.
    He/she was regularly hit by friendly fire also, but never broke character to explain. If folks aren’t getting your humour it might be because the snippets are too small. Even when you do make it more obvious there will still be some who don’t get it, that’s the risk of trying to be Swiftian.

    Liz, you and I and every concerned Canadian need to be those worker bees. I just finished sharing an e-mail with many in which I used facts, figures and a great graphic to refute the lie that “Canada isn’t doing its fair share” in regards to Syria’s economic migrants. Note that I also make sure to label those ‘fleeing’ Turkey for what they are. They are not ‘refugees’.

  20. Yes, but how do we get stunned fools like NDP Paul Dewar and the Liberal front man playing leader to tell us how they would ensure our safety when letting in all who claim to be refugees? It’s the job of the media
    but how can we get them to do their job and ask the tough questions? Seems getting rid of PM Harper trumps the safety and security of this country for these bozos, it’s a serious and dangerous game they’re playing.

  21. Sorry if I misjudged you. It is just that, except for a few objective journalists, I do not trust any of them anymore. There is too much evidence of bias.
