The splintering of the Liberal party tent continues.
First, the Castro Catastrophe, when the reality based democratic elements of the party who don’t have deep personal and kindred connections to a dictator said, “Uhh, dude?”
Second, Justin ‘Tex’ Trudeau is going to be single-handily responsible for killing off the polar bears…or something, thus disappointing the earth-muffin contingent to the point of promising societal upheaval.
Today the gov’t blamed the Electoral Reform Committee of not doing ‘the hard work we expected them to’ when the report submitted recommended proportional representation and a referendum on electoral reform. The ABFPTP (Anything But First Past The Post) segment of the Liberal party is extremely disappointed. And ‘by extrememly disappointed’, I mean old-NDP’ers who are now Liberal asking, “Just how stupid do they think we are”? (The jokes write themselves…)
You know, it’s a joyous time of year and a good reason to find happiness in all things.
Today I’m happy that millions of Canadian millennials are learning the meaning of the words, ‘cynicism’ and ‘politics’.
They’ll have so many splinters that the LIEberals will be making toothpicks for decades.
On the first point, PM True’Dope’ia is living in an ahistorical fantasy world; and should be fired and I told him so.
The same day he pens the paean to Castro’s ‘love of his people’ he sends out the acknowledgement of the Holodomor:
Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on Holodomor Memorial Day
November 26, 2016
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, issued the following statement today on Holodomor Memorial Day:
“Today, we commemorate one of the darkest chapters in human history: the forced starvation of millions of Ukrainians by the tyrannical regime of Joseph Stalin in the early 1930s. This genocidal act was designed to destroy the identity and will of the Ukrainian people. It did not achieve its aim. Despite the brutality of the Holodomor, Ukrainians endured and, after decades of Soviet control, Ukraine achieved its independence in 1991.
“Canada stands firm with the Ukrainian people in condemning the atrocities of the Holodomor, and ensuring that its victims are not forgotten. We also remain committed to supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as the important steps taken by the Ukrainian government to bring greater security, prosperity, and economic independence to their people.
“I invite all Canadians to take time today to remember those who suffered as a result of the Holodomor and to reflect on the important contributions citizens of Ukrainian descent have made all across Canada. Their resilience and determination have helped build Canada’s diverse society, which is our strength and pride.”
So on the same day he praises Castro for his communist inspired liquidation of of upwards of 140,000 people over 5 decades… So is the reader to conclude that it would have been better if Stalin had only killed say 4-5 million instead of 8-10 million?
So if you go out of your way to condemn communist killings in the Ukraine; why go out of your way to praise another communist thug who is similarly another murdering SOB.
…
On the second point, Canada has to export some product to pay for all the social programs and the $30 billion deficit frittered way in the last budget; unless of course the national project is to create the northern peso.
…
Thirdly, why would the LIEberals change a formula that allowed them to get into office with an outright majority?
First Past The Post obviously worked out splendidly for them!

Do you have a link for us to comment on or should we just comment on your comment?
I’m sure the week has been enlightening for some but for the average Spawn supporter it would be hard to disappoint voters whose only criteria was essentially hair style and assurances by the media that Harper was bad.
The Liberals are trapped by P’ti’ P’tate’s words. They must go through the No Play of asking for it and not actually wanting it. Although any other form will almost guarantee a liberal government in perpetuity, they will be constantly having to make deals with small no-name parties.
No need with FPTP.
You could say it’s because our PM is being incredibly racist: Ukranians are primarily white and Cubans are primarily brown and black.
The bloom is definitely off the ruse.
This won’t help the Liberals either as they demonstrate once more that their reputation of being “soft on crime” is well-deserveed.
Liberals putting ‘partisan politics ahead of public safety’ by opposing Wynn’s Law: Alberta MP
A Conservative MP expressed his disappointment Wednesday after debate over a bill dubbed “Wynn’s Law” in honour of a slain Alberta Mountie was postponed until spring.
Bill S-217, also known as “Wynn’s Law,” has been championed by St. Albert – Edmonton MP Michael Cooper and later sponsored by Senator Bob Runciman. It would require the Crown to disclose the criminal history of an accused at a bail hearing.
The old phrase ‘pass the popcorn’ does come to mind, except it’s my house that’s on fire
“Today I’m happy that millions of Canadian millennials are learning the meaning of the words, ‘cynicism’ and ‘politics’.”
I doubt it. Really, lance, you should find happiness in real things. Don’t go all Lefty on us.
Time for physical cranky!
Really disappointed he is not going to the FUNERAL. That would have provided another entertaint afternoon like #trudeaueuolgies
Referendum …that one word is enough to throw Each and Every Liberal into fits of psychotic delusions…Equaling 4 hits of windowpane whipped with a couple of bennies….Acid on speed.oh yea..!!
The thought of ordinary Canadians deciding OURSELVES as to how we vote is completely outside of their realm of possibility – “My god, don’t they understand that WE know whats best for them..??”
I love that committee…
Impossibly, Little Potato’s week just got worse.
http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/just-in-time-for-winter-you-can-buy-tights-with-trudeaus-floating-head-all-over-them
Women can now have his floating head on their asses. As Lance noted rightly, the jokes, particularly the vulgar ones, write themselves.
As much as the news this week bears out the reality once again that PM Harper was right all along, please temper your enthusiasm.
The biggest contingent of voters that support Leisuresuit Larry are the ones that want to virtue signal, those that want to be perceived as the “nice people”. Subsequently they merely need the suggestion that the other guys are the not nice people.
Those are the same mind set as voters in the US that merely needed the suggestion of racist accusations to vote for Obama.
The job isn’t done yet.
Justin has to do something that is perceived as not nice before he is really in trouble.
For something completely OFF – TOPIC…sorta….
See this link for a Letter Published in the Vancouver Sun – written By Lori Akerman – Mayor of Fort St, John, BC
RE: Canadian Natural Resources etc…
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT..!!
http://www.fortstjohn.ca/node/18711
The minister does not want a referendum because referendums are “divisive”. Does she propose that we only hold referendums on non-divisive issues? Good grief!
F..K this kid is an effin idiot! Thanks Toronto you effin morons!
McHappyFace Nutbar prancing about the world stage, has really done nothing of substance, but get in a deficit binge contest with Wynne & Notley.
Ontario divests of Bombardier incompetence, while Quebec props them up. Good for both.
Please Mr Trump, approve Keystone XL on Day One.
Its been a bad week for the Media as well… The Media have gone pretty lightly on the blathering nit-wit play acting as PM, it is clearly painful for the Media to criticize the Lisp, and it shows. Its difficult for the Media primarily because they are stuck with the unenviable position of selling the notion that Justine’s love and “admiration” for totalitarian commie dictatorships is a good thing, not an easy sell… the trick is to pretend you’re not a dictator loving commie, the Media pretend, but it seems Justine didn’t get the memo. The other option for the Media is to simply ignore Lispy Fidel Jr. Either way Justine isn’t making the Media’s job any easier. I fully expect that in the next few weeks the Media will ramp up the PR campaign for lispy Fidel Jr, more selfies, shirtless selfies if possible… its just too bad there isn’t a gay parade for Lispy to lead, or a funeral. I guess Justine’s brother Creepy Trudeau will be representing “the family” at Uncle Fidels going away party.
“So if you go out of your way to condemn communist killings in the Ukraine; why go out of your way to praise another communist thug who is similarly another murdering SOB.” That just shows how large the cavity between his ears is.
Im not sure which is worse. that we are going down this road at all or that we had to count on that gassy windbag lizzy may to carry the committee vote.
Wait for this illegal immigrant (Monsef that is) to do every thing she and spud can do to obfuscate the referendum question. If we even get one. Keep in mind that neither of them are fans of representative democracy. Why o why should the prol’s have a say in changing one of the fundamental aspects of arguably the most stable nation on earth after all. First past the post only got us this far.
“Women can now have his floating head on their asses.” That would be demeaning to a generally useful nice looking part of the female anatomy. Even a horse’s ass would be more useful.
Justin ‘Tex’ Trudeau? Tex?
I prefer “Justin ‘Zoolander’ Trudeau”, because he shares the male model handsomeness combined with the problem-solving, crime-fighting, intellectual nature of Derek Zoolander, hero of the movie ‘Zoolander’ (2001).
Liberal logic states that an issue is only “divisive’ up and until the point that Libranos impose their will on that issue. Once the Liberals impose their personal ideological dictates then the “divisiveness” regardless of the issue magically disappears.
I swore I heard on the radio today that the Liberal’s report said there will be no electoral reform whereas the committee’s report recommended a referendum. Basically, we won! Hopefully this snowballs into a big winning streak. It can’t hurt us when Trump’s policies lead to growth even the lamestream press can’t suppress. The liberals will run against his policies and we’ll run for them.
A real Christmas gift this year would be for a no-confidence vote and eject that stupid son of Pierre from politics forever.
Maybe the planet forever.
“The splintering of the Liberal party tent continues.”
Oh come on,these are our Libtards you are speaking of.
Turdeau is the prettiest most popular PM evah, the CBC says so.
They polled themselves and said this is so.
Pretty Vacant is a wholely owned product of the Canadian Media Guild.
They produced it,promoted it with false advertising and sold this defective product to gullible Canadian customers.
They own all the damage caused by their product.
Liberals Love their Shiny Little Potato, hopefully he will do for them what Obamanation has done for USA “Democrats”.
I said it would take a year… And it has. Castro was the first crack in the dam.
That “committee” is simply in spin/damage control over Monsef. Who is still an Iranian. Who is still in Canada’s Parliament. Who is still in cabinet. Who is still on that committee…
If Canadians were SO SMART as to elect the Liberals, including Trudeau, aren’t they SMART ENOUGH to handle a referendum on proportional representation?
Steakman
Thank you! I sent it to about 100 people including people in BC who protest pipelines. They don’t get it! They drive to protests in their Subarus and paddle around in platic kayaks.
Perhaps Kate will feature it! It’s a good one!
Thanks.

Don’t forget about the rest CAS. On every forum I’m in with the armchair enviro-warriors, the following is pointed out.
To whit:
You better not own an evil fossil fueled car or truck.
You better not ride in evil fossil fueled mass transit.
You better not buy food or ANY goods, that has been transported by an evil fossil fueled truck or evil fossil fueled freighter.
You better not fly away on vacay, in an evil fossil fueled jet.
You better not own anything made of plastic, which is made from evil fossil fuels.
The envirowarriors hate being called out on these issues, and usually go into vitriol fueled tirades about hating children, seals and polie bears, and the coral reefs, don’t forget the coral reefs!
The dam was cracked when JT displayed a dictatorial persona against a Loyal Opposition scrimmage on the Chamber floor a while back:
HofC scuffle between PM JT and NDP MP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BVN5QzzaLI
The appropriate public servant to deal with indignities/indignigents in the HofC is the serving Sergeant-at-Arms, eg:
SatA Kevin Vickers escorts young lady from HofC:
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada-politics/q-a-with-ex-senate-page-brigette-depape-on-her–stop-harper–victory-201458185.html
Not long thereafter, Sergeant-at-Arms Vickers was called upon to defend the House-of-Commons from a murdering terrorist, highlighting the true importance of that post.
There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in”
Cantor Leonard Cohen.
They have the schools. The unions. The media. Entertainment. The celebration is doomed. Stupid will rule the day, Wynne will get another majority. Notely will get another. Wall will cross the floor to lead the NDP and get another majority. Lois Lerner runs elections Canada, the RCMP, CRA, everything. British common law will be eliminated and we will be full Euro socialist paradise within the decade.
Ah, but the SJWs, the eco-warriors, the Khmer Vert not only are allowed to do all those things that we’re not supposed to, they’re expected to. Revolutionaries and dictators are seldom altruistic. Oppressing the proletariat is hard work and there must be reward for the struggle.
While we, the great unwashed, eat sawdust, they have the right to eat steak and lobster.
It’s feudalism by any other name.
And sea levels. Don’t forget sea levels.☺
OMG I had great joy showing my adorable, but weenie BC niece (love her dearly) that sea levels in Vancouver had been flat for 100 years and dropping in Tofino. Great fun.

Kevin:
The member for Iran is not on the committee,one reason why she can so thoroughly trash the report.
Show us your tits, Justin!
Clive, good on you.! One of the Best Commentary I have read over the years….nice to see it coming from someone that actually lives it..and a Mayor to boot.!
Being a Senior Welding Inspector – having worked on pipelines as an Inspector and knowing what and how they are built, it just amazes me the of the complete and utter ignorance that fuels these protesters…American Foundations Trust money notwithstanding.
It should be featured in all of our Media…
Cheers….
HOW to,
Keep Liberal party capital intact. Keep Alberta and B.C. happy and still ship bitumen by pipeline for processing and value added manufacture of products outside Canada
Simply divert Kinder Morgan south over the border for export from Washington State. The USA have spill control due to their vested interest.
We had a bunker fuel spill at Vancouver wharves and a big fuel spill off Bella Bella where Kinder Morgan had no control in place in spite of shipping off our shores for the past 50 years. That kind of demonstrated public relations boggles the mind for paramount levels of arrogance and stupidity.
Christi Clark is as much to blame as the Federal government for total incompetence and fumbling aT THE VERY TOP.
Don’t allow our Federal Liberal Party to become a world laughing stock when one of 35 monthly tankers spills toxic bitumen and kills off whale watching, tourism, fisheries, all other enviro-dependent businesses.
Don’t give the NDP the keys to our Canada. TG
