What's scary about a daddy who takes in kittens in need?

Wow if he keeps this up, he'll have PETA voting for him!
Visiting the troops, Family oriented tax policy, tough stand against terrorism, the friendly public relations and information spokesman for the government, warring with the hated Liberal media... all is Right with the world.
To quote John Gormley, "Sometimes I think this guy was born to be the Prime Minister".

But the big question is: Are enough everyday people finally starting to "connect the dots" on the leftoid "Scary Harper and Scary Hidden Agenda" Big Lie?
Posted by: Dave at June 9, 2006 12:48 PMSo Stephen Harper fosters cats? Now I know he has to be a good guy! Dogs would be okay too, but cats are better. Nice photo. It's sort of hard to imagine a guy happily snuggling an ordinary cat as having a scary "secret agenda"!
Posted by: Jill at June 9, 2006 12:50 PMI overheard two ladies at the coffee shop today commenting on this article.."I wonder if he kept one to replace the cat that was hit outside their house.."
they wondered...
btw..is that cat just not the cutest or what?
kittens were born to be adored and given a loving home!
Bet Stephen has a receipe book open at Cat Chowder?
Posted by: glen at June 9, 2006 1:05 PMIt's amazing how the press cuddled and cooed over the Liberals whilst at the same time villifiing the Conservatives.
Whoever got this pic in the paper of Harper with Kittens has gotta be a genius. Not to mention going for the juggler.
The Liberals are as corrupt and baseless a group as ever was. Without the power of political office to help cover up their evil doing they are swinging in the wind.
My only question is why is it taking so long for everyone to get it. And vanquish them.

Man that Harper guy is just getting scarier & scarier I can well imagine what he is going to dress up as at halloween...
BTW: "GO OILERS GO"
Nothing like a little.....uhh....kitten in the office.
Posted by: Eskimo at June 9, 2006 1:32 PMEven more impressive is that the PM has asthma, which is usually incompatible with being around pets, particularly cats with their unique dander. He looks like quite content, doesn't he? And yes, a man born to be PM. As for Volpe, when the discrimination card doesn't work anymore, you know you're toast, and he and his toadies did try to say this was a smear against all Italians. I'd say he was getting advice from Hoffa beyond the grave.
Posted by: Iron Lady at June 9, 2006 1:42 PMI can see the lefty blogs now...Harper and Hitler share the same last initial AND a love of animals (aka Harper can't relate to humans, eh? most be a sociopath).
Posted by: Andrew Mason at June 9, 2006 1:52 PMCTV is reporting that Conservative Senator Mike Forrestall has passed away.
Mike Forrestall was a conservative mp from 1965-1984 & was named to the senate by brian mullroney
My very manly and very busy husband signed us up to foster orphaned kittens a few years ago. He would let them sleep under his chin; had more patience than me in feeding them with little eye droppers and then he would even make up adorable adoption posters on his computer for their cages when we had to return them to the SPCA.
This brings back those memories - especially of those big strong hands so gently cradling a tiny kitten barely as big as his thumb while at the same time making tough decisions to contribute to making the world a better place.
I see what Laureen sees in her remarkable husband and I also think Canadians are starting to get it...we finally have a real leader.
Posted by: Lorraine at June 9, 2006 1:54 PM

Yep, the Prime Minister is a pussy cat.
The cat probably has a SCARY name like 'Buster', and a reputed vermin exterminator of mice and rats; like ours.
Hey and wasn't that Volpe on the backhoe looking for Hoffa's body the other week? Maybe it was fuzzy picture!! LOL

I.Fostering My Ambitions.
II.My Takiya* Runneth Over.
The old-style politics of power brokers, bagmen and backroom boys can no longer have a place in our Party. It is time to give the Liberal Party of Canada back to its devoted supporters and listen to their experiences, knowledge and ingenuity. The grassroots have always been the source of our strength and the time has come to revitalize our connection with them. We must begin by encouraging local members to choose who will represent them in General Elections through a transparent nomination process.
Our Party is at a crossroads. We can defend the status quo or foster our ambitions and, together, strengthen Canada. I believe that the latter provides the only avenue which will ensure continued growth, opportunity, and equality for all members of the Liberal Party, and, most importantly, all Canadians. The choice is yours. I have made up my mind and I need your help; this is the Liberal way, it is the only way!
Sincerely,
Joe Volpe/ .ca

"Dogs would be okay too, but cats are better".
You got that right -- and excellent judges of character, cats! Hard to fake out a cat. Cats know! If you can get a stranger cat to come up to you, you can take a bow. You're good folk!
Harper's job#1 was to prove through his action on the job that he is a good non-scary man and very able PM. He has aced the test. He will get a majority next time out -- and a convincing one.
Robert's felling a little LEFT out of the debate and very envious of those that make sense.

Posted by: noasshats at June 9, 2006 3:15 PMMan, I love the comparison. A liberal that smashes open small childrens piggy banks so that he can control the country. A Conservative that babysits orphaned kittens and wants to finish his book on hockey. No wonder the Liberals do so well with the convict population. My only question is: "How close to the bottom of the evolutionary chain do you have to be to vote for a Liberal?"
Posted by: johnboy at June 9, 2006 3:24 PMDoug,
There's too few dots to connect. Us liberals get it. Take baby steps and sidestep the MSM until he gets a majority. Then we'll see the real stuff....
Loss of choice for women.
Crimminalize marijuana use.
Abolish same sex marriage.
Theological conservatism.
Kissy ass with the USA.
Our troops in every American conflict on the planet.
Conscription.
Racial profiling.
Better roads in Saskatchewan.
etc. etc. etc.
I was backing Rae, but Volpe has managed to swing me over. I now think he is the best choice for leader of the Liberals.
Posted by: Shaken at June 9, 2006 3:55 PMYeah, for me it's a toss-up between Hedy Fry and Joe Volpe. There's just so much talent to choose from!

Garth Turner?
Posted by: anon at June 9, 2006 3:58 PMLook out he's starting to look more human everyday. Likes cats, hockey, walking his kids to school, is more worried about wife and kids than himself, says nice things about God. Consorts with neighbors and ordinary Canadians. How could this be the same guy the Liberals and MSM are describing to us as scary? Are we so suspicious, we can't just sit back and enjoy the ride, the pleasant company?
P.S. Hans; Although I doubt Volpe knows how to operate a backhoe, much less a shovel, he probably wasn't looking for Hoffa, just his stash.
Posted by: Cheri at June 9, 2006 4:16 PMThe kitty in the foreground looks just like my brother's cat when she was little.
Someone mentioned PMSH's asthma, but bear in mind that that's not the same as being allergic to felines. I know, for my dad has asthma to such a degree that he must take all sorts of drugs to prevent any attacks. He has no problem, however, being around my brother's two puddytats. So I know PMSH has no problem with pussy.
Sorry, Kate, but that pun makes our leader look cool! Not that he needs help... he's way cooler than any Librano ever could be!
Posted by: Canadian Sentinel at June 9, 2006 4:20 PMI think they'd be wise to go with Iggy. They could use his (hand's on?) knowledge of torture in QP and other potentially dangerous or self-incriminating situations.
Posted by: Cheri at June 9, 2006 4:27 PMNo, Cheri, it's got to be either Rae or Volpe. Iggy is too "American-style".
Posted by: Shaken at June 9, 2006 4:39 PMApparently Laureen goes to the SPCA shelter on a regular basis and picks up a few kittens every time she's there.
There's a room at 24 Sussex just for the orphaned cats: Kids and Cats at 24 Sussex rather than Skids and Rats.
Now that's REALLY scary.
Posted by: new kid on the block at June 9, 2006 4:39 PMThe more I see of "our"PM,the more I like and admire him.I especially love his sharp wit,and the zingers he manages to get out in QP.By the way...anyone know who could be responsible for spoon-feeding Belinda the pathetic attempts at trying to appear like she has a brain ?? She actually asked 2 questions in QP in 2 days !!I read on Bourque's site,she's been out and about with Tie Domi..I don't think the pair of them share a hot clue...and I'm a Leafs fan. Karen
Posted by: Karen at June 9, 2006 4:50 PMSSSSHHH! New kid; some lefty psychologist may put a label on that type of un-characteristic behaviour for inhabitants of that address. Something like cat-lady.

Canadians know a lot about Prime Minister Stephen Harper's actions, but a lot less about him. His closest friends and associates reveal what makes him tick, on "Understanding Stephen Harper."
And a hint from the program...has the PM ever apologized to anyone...or is he arrogant?
Keep the kitten pictures coming. Balance is a good thing.
And as has been said, not all asthma sufferers are affected by exposure to cats;)

Posted by: Hans Rupprecht at June 9, 2006 8:08 PMThe snip, below, from the website of "TDH Strategies-Solutions for Everyone", singles out Bob Rae, a declared candidate for the leadership of the federal Liberal Party of Canada. Rae's ambition is to become Prime Minister of Canada.
One would think Bob Rae is a member of the NDP/Socialist Party. Rae is a member of the federal Liberal Party of Canada.
Bob Rae fits the definition of a Muslim Islamist terrorist stooge as defined by David Warren. Rae has stated his position as regards to Canada's NATO duties in Afghanistan: Rae calls for Canada's early withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thus, Rae is a Muslim Islamist terrorist stooge. +
"June 8, 2006 - By no stretch of the imagination am I a war monger. My support for going into Afghanistan has always been guided by a hope to rebuild rather than destroy. Yet I find this view from Bob Rae to be really out of touch with the realities associated with our mission over there. In fact, it kind of mirrors the irrelevence of the NDP, who are prepared to withdraw at the drop of a hat. We have to wake up to the fact that effective peacekeeping duties in the world in which we live must often include an offensive component. These two approaches are not mutually exclusive, and we as a nation have to begin to understand that better - the rest of the world certainly has."

Message to Joe V. stay away from piggy banks as they have been banned from banks to satisfy islamfasists feelings. If he is stealing from piggy banks he has lost the islamic vote. Funny, but the word racism seems to be losing its impact, = attack on all Italians, backlash on muslims. No longer do we cringe when the msm or posters try to target us using politically incorrect language, we cheer. I have decided to get some pig ornaments to put on my lawn. We should all do the same, especially if you live in an area with many muslims. Who watched the story on Global tonight about how male muslims have conned hundreds of women into marriage and sponsoring them to come to Canada, only to have their banks accounts cleaned out, and disappear.These women sign to be responsible for these men for 10 yrs. One bride had her wonderful devout muslim husband take her savings and leave within a week. He has since remarried and is a father, and first wife in on the hook in BC for 26000.00, for every welfare check etc the guy received. We need more stories like this to get out so cdns can see how we have been conned for yrs in the name of multiculturism.
Posted by: maryT at June 9, 2006 9:33 PMAttn Lorraine; You posted on the other link about L L fundraising? Check out Stephen Taylor: More deceitful Liberal fundraising?
Apparently leadership campaigns aren't eligible for tax credits, some of the candidates are ignorant or ignoring?
This is proof that spending is way out of control on both levels, leadership and party/fed. elec. Not only should there be set election dates; funding, ads, polls, length of campaign and even travel should be reformed.
Posted by: Cheri at June 9, 2006 10:23 PMWhat's with Borque?
When I clicked on the "Volpe Stinking out the Joint" this morning, it linked to a CTV article on a Lberal Senator recently in the news for his expense account irregularities. Volpe was never mentioned.
As for the kittens, didn't the chef at 24 Sussex quit just after Harper moved in? Not that there is anything wrong with broiled feline, just sayin'
Posted by: john at June 9, 2006 10:58 PMJoey, Joey, Joey, 27 large, thinka da vig.
Dr. Wayne, you forgot to mention that there would be troops, armed troops, on the streets of Canadian cities.
And since I have an inside line I'll let you in on a few other secrets too. The conservatives are going to remove all Liberal senators and replace them with robots (well actually just statues).
And anyone that votes for a Liberal will have to register with the government and live with a robot chaperone cat, that has razor blades for claws, and eats the eyes out of liberal voters while they sleep. Be scared Dr. Wayne, be very, very, scared.
The "I'm a Liberal or I'm a conservative" seems to be a common theme in all discussions. Does it really matter which side you are on. They are all liers theives and immoral opportunists. With no more morals, honest, integrity or honour than one could find lying in a pile in a pasture. I use to be proud to be Canadian....now the country with all it beaurcratic legal B.S., and all the politicians can go to hell as far as Im concerned. P.S. Thanks I feel better now.

'Glad you feel better, but all I can say is that you are some kind of "useful idiot," a nihilist with, obviously, nothing to contribute to this conversation.
If, with a straight face, you can equate the sleaze, thuggery, and downright criminality of the actions of the Liberals in the last 13 years with the sincere efforts of the CPC under Prime Minister Stephen Harper who, BTW is not a millionaire like either Chretien and Martin, both by ill-gotten gains through their political connections, then you lack the ability to make distinctions, a most unfortunate deficit.
To say that politicians are all the same is, essentially, zero thinking, an affliction all too prevalent in our population these days. I'm estimating that you are young (under 35 or 40) and that you have been miseducated by the noneducation system in place now that, because of political correctness, draws no distinctions between anything: all for one and one for all. Pure piffle.
If you are older than 30, then you must have fallen for the dystopian Trudeapian vision of Canada and I pity you.
