Oh wow, now that is good fun!

I'd like to see the each and every one of the Liberals ads turned right back on them.

Here is the latest answer to the latest Liberal ad campaign:

Subject: My Name Is Norm and I am Canadian !!!!

Hard to argue with this guy.............

My name is Norm, and I am Canadian

I am a minority in Oakville, Toronto, and every casino in this country.

I was born in 1965, yet I am responsible for some FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE BEING HOODWINKED OUT OF THEIR LAND IN THE 1700's.

I pay import tax on cars and booze made in Ontario.

I am allowed to skydive and smoke (outside only), but not allowed to drive without a seat belt.

All the money I make up until mid July must go to paying taxes.

I live and work among people who believe Americans are ignorant. These same people cannot name this country's new territory.

Although I am sometimes forced to live on Kraft dinner, I sleep well knowing that my taxes helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled refugee.

Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate, Quebec still provides my nation's prime ministers.

95% of my nation's international conflicts are over fish.

I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians, although I'm sure none of them have ever been to Africa, or east of Halifax for that matter.

I believe that paying a 200% tax on alcohol is fair.

I believe that the same tax on gasoline is also fair.

Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my grandfather gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if I don't register it.

My fellow countrymen often badmouth the United States and then vacation there three times a year.

I believe spending $15 billion to promote the French language in the rest of Canada is fair when the province of Quebec doesn't support or recognize the English language.

I'm led to believe that some lazy unionized broom pusher who makes $30 an hour is underpaid and therefore must go on strike, but paying $10 an hour to someone who works 12 hour shifts at forty below on an oil rig is fair.

I believe that paying $30 million for 3 Stripes ("The Voice of Fire painting in Ottawa) by the National Art Gallery was a good purchase, even though 99% of this country didn't want it or will ever see it.

When I look at my pay stub and realize that I take home a third of what I actually make, I say "Oh well, at least we have better health care than the Americans."

I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too dry because I control the rain.

My national anthem has versions in both official languages and I don't know either of them.

Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination for fleeing terrorists.

I am not an angry white male. I am an angry taxpayer who is broke.

My name is Norm, and I am Canadian.

That's great!!!! I remember the disintegrating flag ad pissing me off so bad I wanted to go Elvis on the tube!! This version is rather theraputic.

O/T On Duffy's Countdown tonight, reports that Goodale met with RCMP investigators sometime this afternoon. They seem to be avoiding any mention of it now.

D Man:
Yes..well done.
Craig

Norm/D-Man:

Now that was priceless! Very well done.

Question: realistically, though, WHO makes only $10 an hour working on an oil rig? I'm told Tim Hortons must pay $13 an hour in Fort MacMurray to entice the locals away from the oil industry, and even then, they only have enough staff for 1 shift.

Great post though, guy. I'm forwarding to the libs I know.

I was surprised that ad - from the 2004 election - was as effective as it was.

An intelligent voter vieweing the ad for the first time would have recognized immediately that he/she was being manipulated with lies because it implies that the Conservatives' commitment to scrap the Firearms Registry would lead to a proliferation of "handgun" crime - something which, paradoxically, has occurred under years of weak Liberal criminal justice laws.

But it wasn't the intelligent, well-informed voter the Liberals were amining this ad at.

Sad to say, but if the Liberals replayed the original ad over again this time around, it would once again bury the Conservatives in Toronto and Vancouver. I think the rest of the country is fully ready to put their Libs into the dustbin of history, but my fellow big city sophisticates are looking for any excuse to revert back to the default voting position. I sense no Conservative breakthrough here in the town where paroled men named "poverty" and "exclusion" pick up guns lobbed over the border by the evil Bush cabal, then use them to kill innocent schoolgirls who are then turned into statistics to prove that our murder problem isn't that bad as Chicago's.

In fact, if you showed the REMIX to 10 Toronto voters, I bet 6 would STILL understand it as a reminder of how scary the Conservatives are.

Great post D-Man. Would be nice if this was in wider circulation, perhaps on Adler or some such program.

Question to NCF TO - Is there really that much hatred towards Conservatives on the streets of Toronto? I continue question whether or not specific areas of the west should hang around even with a victory on the 23rd? Given the Liberal's record, how can they still be at or near 33% in the polls? It's astonishing.

everyone knows now that the tip came straight from the PMs office.
they will deflect the questions from one place to the other just like the Gomery inquiry.

if you spread the shit thin enough it just looks like brown paint.

$30 Million Reasons NOT to Vote Liberal

CRB: What I see on the streets of Toronto is not so much hatred, but a feeling that even listening to what the Conservatives have to say, let alone casting a vote for them, is completely uncool. It's very much like the red state-blue state phenomenon in the States. People who are otherwise the best, brightest, most successful in our country in their chosen field, close their minds to even a basic level of political thought, because they fashion themselves as uber-sophisticated Europhiles, and Western Canadians as Bush-loving red necks from the sticks. Sad, but true.

Also, most of the support the party gets here in TO comes from Red Tory holdovers from the provincial PCs, who have very little in common with the vibrant small-c conservative movement that has led the CPC to the brink of electoral success. There are a few of us here who fully support a Harper-led free-market, America-friendly, un-PC, mildly socially-conservative agenda, but we're a very rare breed indeed.

D-Man...."Brian Mulroney can raise his popularity by five to 10 percentage points by simply firing whoever is responsible for the purchase of Voice of Fire," one man wrote to the Toronto Star.

Purchased for $ 1.76 million in 1990 during the Conservative Mulroney years.

You've made some good points but inaccuracy and exageration will loose you credibility.

Kate, just saw George Strombolopolopolopolopolous (It's kinda like Missississississippi)on the CBC. He actually played both the original and the new satorical version. Wow.

Anybody see this on 'The Hour' Last night?

Priceless!
