Ignatieff calls 9-11 terror victims a 'sideshow': [http://www.thestar.com/News/article/186476]

At a news conference before the vote, Maureen Basnicki, whose husband Ken was among 24 Canadian victims of the 9/11 Al Qaeda attacks on New York, urged MPs to "stop playing politics" and to "vote with their conscience and not with their party." Basnicki lamented that the Liberals have not met with victims' families over concerns on the issue, but said she was not there to promote the Conservative government's agenda.

Ignatieff said while he sympathized with terror victims, their appearance during the debate over whether to renew the powers is "just a sideshow."

"The issue here is not whether we have or have not met with victims of 9/11. Every member of our caucus feels the grief and horror that those victims went through."

“At a news conference before the vote, Maureen Basnicki, (pictured with daughter, Erica) whose husband Ken was among two dozen Canadian victims of the 9/11 al-Qaeda attacks, urged MPs to “stop playing politics” and to “vote with their conscience and not with their party.”

Deputy Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff said he sympathized with terror victims but labelled their appearance during the debate as “just a sideshow,” prompting an angry response from Basnicki.

“Sideshow? I was a victim of terrorism. My husband was murdered. I don’t like to be a victim of politics. The issue here is the security of Canadians,” Basnicki remarked.

For information, the David Suzuki Foundation charity regisration number is 127756716RR0001.

Interestingly they have registered as a Category 52 Charity - Preservation of Sites, Beauty and Historical.

On their lastest return they have indicated that they are involved in political activities which are permitted with several important restrictions.

The most revelant in this situation seems to be "Activities must be entirely non-partisan in nature. Registered charities must not support or oppose political parties or candidates for public office. ".

The Foundation has 3 employees earning between $80,000 and $120,000 but none over $120,000.

And I guess that they have solved all of Canada's problems and are going global -

"New programs:
BEGINNING IN 2005, THE FOUNDATION HAS EXPANDED ITS WORK IN CONSERVATION EDUCATION. WE ARE WORKING TO INCREASE THE INDIGEOUS CAPACITY TO USE AND SUPPLY CONSERVATION AREA DESIGN TO THE PROTECTION OF BIOLOGICAL RICHES OF THE FOUR GREAT RIVERS IN TIBET."

I don't have any links yet, but on Rutherford they just had a guy on saying a story is going to break today. The story being the Al Gore owns a company that sells carbon credits. So when he buys these credits, he's buying them from himself and using this whole campaign of his to actually pimp is own business interests.

Please keep your eyes open for this story and post a link if you see it first for confirmation.

Thanks

"WE ARE WORKING TO INCREASE THE INDIGEOUS CAPACITY TO USE AND SUPPLY CONSERVATION AREA DESIGN TO THE PROTECTION OF BIOLOGICAL RICHES"

Do you have Music Match Jukebox on your computer?

Have you ever had 95 plus percent of your CPU power being used and wondered what process was doing it?

I hit Ctrl / Alt / Delete for TaskManager and discovered MIM.exe was hogging my CPU to 97% doing who knows what.

I searched MIM.EXE and found it belonged to MM Jukebox.

3w.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/mim.exe.html

This site gives you others views, opinions and solutions. Most people regard it as totally wrong and choose to remove it in various ways.

I removed MM Jukebox in the usual way, through the control panel and *Add / Remove Programs*.

In task manager, I noticed the Windows Idle Process [16K] , at the bottom of the processes list, ran at virtual zero while MIM.EXE was hogging the CPU at 97%. That is odd, because Win Idle Process usually runs at very high numbers.

Music Match Jukebox must fix this and come clean with reasons before I trust them again.

Cool Beans is a great little utility. The small, *always on top*, window lets you know instantly when your background CPU resources are being hogged.

Just go to task manager and you will see which program is the offender. = TG

Can you believe this ??

The Canadian Liberal Party is a haven for nut cases. We have our work cut out.

And we thought Gore and Suzuki are fried !!

The libs keep digging a deeper hole for themselves. Of course Jason and other lib bloggers feel that it is PMSH who will be punished for this. These bloggers fully expect Dion to introduce a bill, almost the same as what they just defeated, to take away the soft on terror label liberals are stuck with. As many have said, Dion won the vote but lost his caucus and the country. Wonder if he is the MOLE we all talked about during the election. There is talk about another liberal bolting to the conservatives. Wonder how he will punish those that ignored the 3 line whipped vote. If he doesn't punish immediately, next time more libs will ignore him. If he comes down too hard on those that conveniently got sick and missed showing up, maybe they will all move to the independant benches. So far I don't see anyone blaming PMSH for their losses yesterday and today on the stock market. Still haven't received any offers for my grandsons carbon credits, due to his car sitting for the past few months. Maybe I should call DS or algore.
How many are employed making incandecent light bulbs and fixtures. How many ceiling fixtures use flourecent bulbs. Whose going to pay to have every house rewired for flourecent fixtures. Just buying those twisty bulbs will not do the trick, at least if you want light to see by.

mary T:

If any Libs are going to cross the floor I imagine it will be Tom Wappel. If that's his plan perhaps that's why he wasn't too worried about Mssr. Dion not signing his nomination papers.

I think that there'll be quite a few Liberals who won't run in the next election - as long as Dion is leader.

It isn't leadership to get your MPs to vote a certain way by threatening them; it's tyranny.

The CBC 'This Hour' had an interview with Dion, in which he showed clearly that he has no policies, that he operates within a purely verbal world - which world is filled with generalities, specious axioms and a complete rejection of reality.

He rejects any criticism of the Liberal party; in his imaginary world, it has never done any wrong. When confronted with its lack of action on the env't, Dion rejects this - and points out 'the plans' the Liberals had; the fact that these were verbal and not actual - doesn't occur to him.

His only clear agenda was the one he stated about himself. He said it - specifically: "I want to be leader of the world. I want to help the world reconcile with the planet'.

Wow- that's quite the hubris, the arrogance, to put himself in as the Saviour of the World. How does he plan to achieve this? By making people vote for him.
First- he manipulated the delegates of the Liberal leadership convention. He won, not by policies or intellect, but by manipulating delegates of voters.

He's doing the same now - he's not interested in Canada or Canadians. He wants power. So, this security vote was to manipulate blocks of ethnic votes in his favour.

His agenda is simple, it has nothing to do with Canada. He wants power - he says it - and his actions show it. He will manipulate, scheme, use people, - anything. As long as he gets his own way to Power.

The criminal trial of Liberals Virk and Basi is just getting underway here in BC....should be interesting?

All these RCMP investigations and trials of Liberal members over the last few years is costing the taxpayers multi millions$$. This is something the MSM avoids talking about!

The unbelievable, crass, thoughtless comments from Ignatieff and Dion are beyond the pale. I would expect more from Ignatieff, but can understand such a comment coming from a shallow, thin-skinned field mouse like the leader of the opposition. If these comments don't solidify suspicions about the waffeling, soft-on terror, asinine attitudes of the LPC, then I don't know what does. Would someone PLEASE push this to the forefront of the blogosphere and MSM.
To quote Micheal Savage: "Liberalism is a mental disorder". No doubt about that.

I see Canada's 'The Weather Network' TWN is still airing Suzuki's propaganda.

A letter I sent to TWN;

Jan 13, 2007

The Weather Network

Suzuki "interviews"

(an opened letter)

January 13, 2007

I am a retired farmer from Manitoba. The weather has always been important to me. TWN was part of my routine then and now. NO MORE !!!

That your organization would stoop so low as to welcome this so-called scientist, activist, on your program is disgusting. And to think that I was a 20 year faithful fan of The Nature of Things.

His fear mongering over global warming has long been discredited. Wake up. Even Kyoto's creator, the UN IPCC, has lately admitted that they over estimated man's role.

I expect equal air time from others, such as;

Dr Patrick Moore, a Canadian co-founder of Greenpeace, and now has his own org, greenspirit.com

Dr. Tim Ball, life time Climatologist. Has researched the hundreds of years of weather and climate data that The Hudson Bay Co collected. He has probably forgot more about the Earth's climate than Suzuki will ever learn.

and others such as;

Peter Foster, Financial Post

Terence Corcoran, National Post

Lorrie Goldstein, Toronto Sun

I cannot convey how irritated I am with TWN. As of now I and my family are boycotting all your sponsors' products. My weather information will come from the Internet from now on.

It seems that orgs like TWN, Suzuki Foundation, LPC, Sierra, ect are so far out in left field, and know it, that they have pulled out all the stops in an effort to save their scam called Kyoto. Propoganda is their only hope. It will not work. Not in this day and age of the Internet and Blogs.

This is the first time in my life I have ever boycotted anything. Not even so much as written a protest letter before today. And as a Grain Farmer I KNOW that the climate is always changing. Throughout the years, the decades, the millennium. How and the h*** do you think most of Canada ended up covered by a kilometer of ice during the last ice age, only 10000 years ago ?? And was then melted ?? And is still melting.

The Weather Network stooped to a propogandist, one that is completely without credibility on the science of the Earth's climate. Only the CBC's Billions made him what he is. IMO.

Did TWN also believe in Y2K ?? And Crop Circles ?? And 1970s Global Cooling ?? And the tragedy called the DDT Ban ??

TWN is toast in my books unless it gives equal airtime to others.

-----------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Franzmann,

Thank you for your feedback regarding The Weather Network's interviews with Dr. David Suzuki. Climate change is certainly a topic that is important to Canadians and which elicits strong opinions on both side of the debate.

The views and opinions expressed by Dr. Suzuki during his interviews with Chris St. Clair are his own.

At The Weather Network, we plan to continue coverage of the climate change debate by featuring interviews with other experts on climate change in the near future. As an organization we feel that it is important to present all sides of the issue to allow our viewers to make their own informed opinions.

We appreciate your feedback, your comments have been shared with our News and Programming teams.

I very rarely watch TWN now. Has anyone else seen other quests being allowed to expose Suzuki's falsehoods ??

The modern welfare state epidimized:

http://www.city-journal.org/html/17_1_oh_to_be.html

Last week, the British government announced—because the opposition in Parliament forced it to announce—that 70 prisoners, including three murderers and an unspecified number of burglars, drug dealers, and holders of false passports, had escaped from a single minimum-security prison this year alone. Twenty-eight of them were still at large.

That so many of them absconded suggested that they were not quite the reformed characters that justified lower levels of security in the first place; but as usual in Britain, temporary embarrassment soon subsides into deep amnesia. The fact is that the whole episode is precisely what we have come to expect of our public administration and was nothing out of the ordinary.

...

Read it all. It goes into the rot in society as a whole. It deals with England but is applicable everywhere.

After the opposition debacle of yesterday, the Liberal, NDP and BQ parties are now indistinguishable, except the Libs are clearly now captive of their radical ethnic blocs. These wackos (you know the ones who said any Israeli is a legitimate military target) gave Dion their support provided he killed this bill. This was the same group that distributed anti-semitic flyers about Bob Rae. Like Dion's Kyoto position, there will be no debate, no dissension; after all, his leadership depends on it.

I think the Liberals have handed the Tories the issue they need, along with the cynical Kyoto bill, to get their majority.

Richard Gwyn wrote one of the silliest articles I've seen in ages:

http://www.thestar.com/News/article/185890

In it he argues that, while Dion is another in a long line of Quebecers to lead Liberals, plus Mulroney; but, he has a vision of the future and Harper wants to bring up the past!! Then he makes a bogus argument that Harper needs Quebec for a majority. It's Ontario stupid! The 905 belt voters will recoil in horror when they are reminded that 911 victims are a sideshow, that Libs have trashed bill they wrote, which is still supported by senior Liberals, that one of their members voted to kill the bill when he was in a clear conflict of interest.

TY again Mr Dion. BTW, Canada is more than Quebec. This man has joined the hypocrite team of Suzuki, Gore and McGuinty.

Warren Kinsella says he doesn't know what happened to The Liberal Party of Canada. (WK musings)

"... So I sigh. It’s sad, yes, and it is not entirely what I expected. It’s unhelpful. I confess, too, that I have a suspicion that there has been an actual, bona fide, cultural shift...." WK

I think what he means is; there has been a CULTural shift. As in Mo's Earth Charter, UN's One World Governance and Dion's Kyoto. IMO, of course.

shamrock - yes, that was a ridiculous Gwyn article. Stating that Harper is focused on the past while Dion is focused on the future. I wrote Gwyn and suggested that Harper is focused on reality while Dion is focused on the imaginary.

What has happened to the Liberal Party? It remains, as it was in the era of Chretien, a tool of one individual's personal agenda. With Chretien, the agenda was power.

However - since he was 'in power' then he could use the taxpayer money to swing the votes as he wished by massive make-work projects in Quebec and the Maritimes, emotionally laden bribes (gun registry) and so on.

With Dion, the agenda is also power, but his requirement is to get into power. He lacks Chretien's access to the taxpayer to use in financial bribes. So, he must bribe the voters with promises. According to Kay of the NP, Dion promised various ethnic groups that he would stop the Security Measures; he essentially strangled the Liberal MPs in order to do this.

His behaviour on Kyoto is equally strangling; he doesn't care how much this hurts the Canadian economy, because he can always claim that it's the fault of the Conservatives.

I think what we are seeing are the actions of an individual manipulating, scheming - in the most amoral and corrupt manner - in order to achieve one agenda. Power.

Al Gore the energy hog has been discussed recently - here is an interesting comparison - the Bush residence in Texas:

" Geothermal heat pumps located in a central closet circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground where the temperature is a constant 67 degrees; the water heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. Systems such as the one in this "eco-friendly" dwelling use about 25% of the electricity that traditional heating and cooling systems utilize."

"A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from roof runs; wastewater from sinks, toilets and showers goes into underground purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the cistern is used to irrigate the landscaping surrounding the four-bedroom home. Plants and flowers native to the high prairie area blend the structure into the surrounding ecosystem."

"No, this is not the home of some eccentrically wealthy eco-freak trying to shame his fellow citizens into following the pristineness of his self-righteous example. And no, it is not the wilderness retreat of the Sierra Club or the Natural Resources Defense Council, a haven where tree-huggers plot political strategy."

This is President George W. Bush's "Texas White House" outside the small town of Crawford."

More on Muslims influencing politics in a big way...
OTTAWA – Federal political parties that ignore the concerns of Canada’s Muslim and Arab communities over security and human rights risk paying a political price, a coalition of Quebec groups warned yesterday.

Speaking to reporters during a day spent lobbying members of Parliament, the coalition said that Muslim and Arab voters can influence the results of elections in an estimated 50 ridings.

“There are a million Arabs and Muslims in Canada according to the latest statistics,” said Faraj Nakhleh, chairman of the Canadian Palestinian Foundation of Quebec. “Like any group they have certain synergies and they affected the outcome of some of the elections last year.”

In the January 2006 vote, Muslim and Arab voters upset about the way Prime Minister Paul Martin’s government was handling anti-terrorism issues and growing prejudice against their communities transferred their votes from the Liberals to the Bloc Québécois, Nakhleh said. The result, he said, was that the Liberals lost a number of ridings in the Montreal area including Pierre Pettigrew’s riding of Papineau, Liza Frulla’s in Jeanne LeBer, Eleni Bakopanos in Ahuntsic and Jacques Saada in Brossard-Laprairie

“In Brossard Jacques Saada was defeated by the Bloc and it is thanks to the Arab vote,” Nakhleh said. He suggested Prime Minister Stephen Harper is also making his own electoral calculations. “It is obvious to us that the government of Canada has switched to pro-Israeli.”

The coalition called on the government to adopt several measures including implementation of the recommendations of Justice Dennis O’Connor who headed the inquiry in the treatment of Maher Arar, ending the suffering of those in jail under security certificates as suspected terrorists and fair and open trials for those detained under security certificates or arrested in Toronto in June 2006 on suspicion of being part of a terrorist plot.

By sheer coincidence, we are told that one of the men in jail under security certificates, Mohamed Mahjoub (story in French, here's one in English), has been released.

QP today had no questions or insinuations re yesterdays vote. Instead Dion questioned the raise in income taxes. I wish he would pay attention to the so called tax reduction Martin put in place last year. Lowest rate in 2004-16%, rate for non refundable tax credits-16%
Lowest rate 2005 15%-non refunable tax rate 15%,
2006-lowest rate 15.25%-non refundable tax rate 15.25%. In reality very little if any change. How many remember when the total of cpp, uic, basic exemption, and all the other items on SCH 1, were TOTALLY DEDUCTABLE from your net income to reach your taxable income. That total can exceed 10,000 in many cases. Then martin as finance minister said, oh no, now you can deduct 16% of that amt, and increased your tax payable by a huge amt. That was only one way the liberals sneakily increased your taxes over the years. Another way was to introduce the simple or basic T1, which most or many used with only T4 or other Tslip income. It did not have medical, charitable and many other deductions on it. Unless you used the long form, you didn't know you were paying several dollars too much. Do the math. 100% deduction reduced to 16% is a tax raise of how much. Done by the liberals.

Yesterday Anon wrote "Can anyone here do math? If Gore produces 1000X the average GHGs, and he convinces 10000 people to cut their GHGs in half, then it's still over 45% reduction" in reponse to Gore's excessive personal GHG emmisions.

I like this way of thinking! I am planning on starting a new Multi-Level Marketing business based on C02 credits. If you can convince 2 people to each cut 1 ton of C02 out of their total output, then you can waste an extra 5000kgs for yourself, still have a net reduction and the rest passes up the chain. All these new people need to do is convince 2 more people to cut consumption and before you know it you can emit more C02 than ever and not feel guilty about it.

Anyone interested in getting in on the ground floor?

Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that the Libs in Ottawa have hired a disgraced former Peterson staffer in Gordon Ashworth to run their campaign and Marzellini to do their polling.

Marzellini is of course the business partner at Pollara of one Don Guy...who is running the Provincial Liberal campaign...and doing their polling. Oh, and the "Senior Advisor" to Don Guy on the provincial campaign? That's right, Gordon Ashworth who makes money on both campaigns by charging a percentage of the ad-buys.

Between the three of them, they are pocketing a few million dollars in polling and ad-buy contracts...more importantly, they are f**king Dion every step of the way to make sure McGuinty wins again.

The Libs are still so corrupt.

Little Miss Apocalypse

David Suzuki's willing use of children to promote his 'ecophobic' terror of the end of the world is reprehensible
Peter Foster, Financial Post

Excerpts:

As part of the campaign, he utilized YouTube to invite prime ministerial postings. "Tell me in 20 seconds or less what you would do," says Mr. Suzuki. "Would you make polluters pay? Give real protection to endangered species? Or show how Canada can help fight global warming? I want to hear your concerns and your solutions ... I'll make sure the politicians listen. Elect yourself at David Suzuki dot org."

Mr. Suzuki's favourite candidate so far is little Gillian. She delivers the message that if she were living on Sussex Drive, she would make some big changes "so that we don't destroy the planet with fossil fuels and carbon dioxide." She castigates SUVs, wants to stop the tar sands, and tells the camera that "Kyoto is not enough." This Littlest Pigovian wants to "institute a carbon tax right away."

Gillian is very obviously reading from a cue card. Only the final words of her message might possibly be her own: "If I were Prime Minister," she laughs, as if wanting to shake off all this forced earnestness, "I'd have blue hair."

Her performance was featured on Global News.

The urge to nurture and protect children is universal. This explains why they are so often used by those with an ideological -- or sometimes merely hypocritical -- purpose. Keith Wylie doesn't come into either of these categories. He obviously loves his daughter, but his decision to make her the mouthpiece for his own anxieties is questionable. Much more reprehensible is David Suzuki's presentation of these ideas as if they were the thoughts of a seven-year-old.

Let's hope little Gillian regarded her YouTube performance as just the price of getting her cardboard palace built, and that she won't lose any sleep over the words she was reading....-

Let Them Tofu! (Ann Coulter Ridicules Liberal Misanthropes Alert)

[Al Gore wrote the introduction to Carson's "Silent Spring". Go figure. The resultant ban on the use of DDT has resulted in millions of needless human deaths from malaria.]

Excerpt:

"Global warming" is the left's pagan rage against mankind. If we can't produce industrial waste, then we can't produce. Some of us – not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess – are going to have to die. To say we need to reduce our energy consumption is like saying we need to reduce our oxygen consumption.

Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukrainians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans (introduction to her book "Silent Spring" written by ... Al Gore!), and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.

But global warming is the most insane, psychotic idea liberals have ever concocted to kill off "useless eaters." If we have to live in a pure "natural" environment like the Indians, then our entire transcontinental nation can only support about 1 million human beings. Sorry, fellas – 299 million of you are going to have to go.

Proving that the "global warming" campaign is nothing but hatred of humanity, these are the exact same people who destroyed the nuclear power industry in this country 30 years ago.

If we accept for purposes of argument their claim that the only way the human race can survive is with clean energy that doesn't emit carbon dioxide, environmentalists waited until they had safely destroyed the nuclear power industry to tell us that. This proves they never intended for us to survive.

"Global warming" is the liberals' stalking horse for their ultimate fantasy: ...-

* Sample: Population Control - is high on the Green agenda, although the issue was low-profiled at the Earth Summit. Strict population control is high on the agenda of UNCED and the Green movement. As the Greens see it, there are too many people on Mother Earth (and the 5.4 billion will double in the next 10 to 15 years); the more people there are, the more pollution there is; the more highly- developed the people are, the more resources they consume. So, one of UNCED and the Greens' chief goals is to restrict population growth by whatever means possible. Biology professor Garrett Harden (an influential Green spokesman) recently wrote:

"lt is a mistake to think that we can control the greed of mankind in the long run by an appeal to conscience. . . . The only way we can cherish and nurture other and more precious freedoms is by relinguishing the freedom to breed, and that very soon." sprynet.com

If all the green believers were true believers and wanted to save the world, they would go someplace enmasse and drink the koolaid. That would prove they really care. Just like the terrorist mullahs, they send others to kill, never going out with a suicide vest themselves. Just like Dion, Suzuki and algore, do as I say, not as I do.

Kal Tire is a B.C. based auto tire retailer and service firm.

My front right tire was a bit worn on the right edge due to a routine of too many left U-turns.

They found a slow leak, [phillips head screw in the tread], and fixed it.

They rotated the front tires to the back and put the fresh rears on the front.

When I went to pay, they said *no charge*. I said, * how about $30?*

They said , * nope, it*s a free-bee.

The total would normally have been $50. I always liked the extra work they threw in when I bought a set of tires. This sure came as a surprise though.

Kal Tire is a very good bunch of guys. The attitude is priceless.

Liberal MP unrepentant about defying Dion

Updated Wed. Feb. 28 2007 6:44 PM ET

OTTAWA -- Stephane Dion says there will be "consequences'' for Liberal MPs who defied his order to oppose renewal of controversial anti-terrorism measures.

But Tom Wappel, the only Liberal to openly side with the Tory government's motion to extend the provisions, was unrepentant and said he's willing to pay whatever price his leader chooses to mete out....-

Harper cutting costs.
Well not really cutting, more like fudging the books. The taxpayer’s will never be the wiser- http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/harper_jet_expenses

I wonder what else this pecker-head is fudging?

albatros - I am disgusted and demand that you apologize for such a defamatory slanderous name you have called the leader of my country.
I am absolutely getting sick and tired of the disrespect so many people have for our elected officials in all levels of government.
If you really think you know better why not run yourself.

At least PMSH is not stealing billions from the taxpayers and all liberal mps acting like colonel Klink, I know nothing.
Lots of talk re democrats trying to reverse their vote re Iraq war, or to say I'm sorry.
Anyone ever asked algore to apologize for assisting in killing millions of Africans due to his support of the ddt ban. If anyone should apologize it is him.

Re: yesterday's vote in the HoC...it never ceases to amaze me that we allow the Bloc to vote on National issues, when their agenda is seperation!!
And now we hear from lorraine @ 2:56 they have another agenda.
I have wondered why Wappel stayed with the Libs for so long.

Lorraine, no I don't think so. You go ahead and respect the stupid pecker-head if you like, but remember only 36% of Canadians who voted, did so for little Stevie Tubby Guts.

Lorraine,
I echo your disgust for the vial language from albatros39a. There's no point to be made with those comments, except to gain attention so it wouldn't bother me if he were thrown outa here!

Can't you just smell the hierocracy emanating for the conservative party offices?

"stealing billions" What "billions" Mary?

Stéphane Dion throws rock in the water

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 5:06 pm

It was only a matter of time before the federal politicians get involved in the provincial election, but I didn’t expect it would come so soon in the campaign, nor did I expect that Stéphane Dion would be the first, and I certainly didn’t expect to hear what he said.

It’s no surprise to anyone that Stéphane Dion really hates the Parti Québécois. Thus he invited all the Quebec federalist disapointed in the Jean Charest Liberal government to vote for the Green Party or the ADQ. Wow.

I’m starting to think I’m starting to like Stéphane Dion. (You can insert a small dose of sarcasm here if you wish).

Noticeable omission, Mr. Dion doesn’t seem to place any faith in the far-left pary Québec Solidaire.

Should we understand from this intervention that Stéphane Dion doesn’t appreciate that Harper and Charest are good friends, and that he tries by the manoeuver to lessen the Conservative’s power by hitting the provincial Liberals? He claims it is not the case, and that he’ll make all he can to help elect Liberals in Québec. Weird way to make friends.

As could have said Jean Chrétien: “Anything but those damn separatiss!” ...-

Oh Boots, did I speak badly about "Great Leader"? Oh no, we can't allow people speaking out against Il douche Harper now can we?

Somebody needs to go back to sucking their thumb!

Here's the story:

PM pays peanuts for personal use of jet

OTTAWA (CP) — Documents show that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservatives are paying only a fraction of the cost of using the government’s Challenger jets for partisan and personal junkets.

Invoices obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act show that the Defence Department billed the Tories for three flights last year.

The first flight cost a hefty $2,100 per hour of flying time.

But on the two subsequent flights, the Tories decided they would only pay the equivalent of commercial airfares, which don’t even come close to covering the $9,000-an-hour cost of operating the Challenger.

As for stealing billions, ask O'Connor why tax payers are paying his defence contractor buddies $3.4 billion for C-17's when they could have leased Antonovs for $42 million per year.

What percent did martin get in his first and second election. And to think he wouldn't have had to call one, and had a majority for a couple of years before calling an election. His ego told him I will win bigger than chretain.

Liberals hiding behind seniors to help corporate and off shore investors in Income Trust issue:

Facts: 60% of income trust shares are held by out of country and off shore business and corporate entities. This means that the multi millions paid out in monthly dividends is untaxable by Canada.

30% of income trust shares are held by Canadian corportions and investment and stock brokerages. This means that they have write offs on the monthly dividends, can reinvest the money and a have a lucrative tax holiday.

The remaining 10% of income trust shares are held by individuals, not neccesarily just Canadians.
Of these 10% it is not possible to determine which percentage of these may be senior citizens or even Canadians where they would pay taxes.

The Canadians declare any monthly dividends as income and pay Canadian taxes accordingly.

So when the Liberals scream about Canadian seniors losing $25 billion (which is blatantly false) on income trusts and want a tax holiday for 10 more years instead of 4 ask yourself really WHO are they really lobbying for?

Oui, c'est ca. Here is Citizen-Professeur Dion, en francais. Go to the site below for a pic of Prof Dion with his left finger pointing.

The leader of the federal Liberals has committed a gross error in Quebec. It will haunt Dion.

Mary, it's time to get over Martin, he isn't the PM. Harper is the one who is under the microscope now.

Albatros. It is you who mentioned what percentage of votes PMSH got. I just asked you to tell us what percentage Martin got. And, predict what percentage dion will get. I say 20%.

Hey, lberia, do you know how easy it is to get an Antonov into a small field? Do you know how many Antonovs there are out there? Do you know how short the lifespan of an Antonov airframe is? Do you know that having CF personnel fly and maintain the aircraft purchased is key to deployment flexibility? Do you know the operational ceiling of the Antonov versus that of the Globemaster? Do you know how little of the Antonov is available for troop and personnel transport?

Let me answer for you: No, you don't. So, stop comparing apples to strategic lift aircraft.

Re: voting percentages - only 52% of eligible voters even bothered to cast a ballot in the last election.
If the Conservatives got 34% of those votes (about the same as Martin's minority) well, you do the math.

Is that about 15 or 16% of all elegible voters determined the government party in power?

And what were you and your fellow cons saying about Martin when he was in office? Even your great leader was lying about and slandering Martin along with the Liberal party any chance they could get. You remember the Income Trust Scandal pack of lies don’t you Mary?
The point is Mary; Harper is the one in office today. I didn't vote for Harpercrits or his neocon minions and I'll speak about him any way I feel like.

Iberia, why didn't you cite the entire Toronto Star article? I know why; because your smear wouldn't work. PM is required to have proper security when he travels, personal, poltical or business. You're right, his passengers should fly commercial, when room available on Challenger. What does that do for global warming? The party reimbursed for commercial flights, which was agreed upon after consultation with bureaucrats. BTW, Liberals used Challenger way more often, and NEVER reimbursed the Crown.

I notice, Iberia, you are still up to your sin of omission b*** s**t.

Iberia, have the Liberals paid back the money they stole from the taxpayers yet?

lberia - I couldn't agree more, we were taken to the cleaners on that deal.

Why We Rarely Hear From Moderate Muslims

For speaking out against Islamic supremacist thugs, a schoolteacher in Pakistan’s tribal area of South Waziristan got his head hacked off.

Islamabad - Suspected Islamic militants captured and beheaded a schoolteacher in Pakistan’s Afghan border area for allegedly spying for the United States, said an official on Wednesday.

The man’s body was found early on Tuesday in a large sack dumped by a road near Jandola, a town in the South Waziristan tribal district, said the local security official. He asked not to be identified due to the sensitive nature of his job. ...

A note found with the beheaded man’s body identified him as “Akhtar Usman, the one who spied for America,” said the official. He said the forehead of the man’s severed head was inscribed with the word for “hypocrite” in Urdu, Pakistan’s main language.

Usman, in his 30s, was a teacher at an Islamic school in nearby North Waziristan and was known to have spoken out against militants in the area. ...-

This despairing western voter certainly hopes that they will recoil in horror and remember their horror when it comes time to vote in the next federal election.

A column published in the National Post this week alleged that Kennedy's delegates from the Indo-Canadian and Muslim communities had made their support contingent on the promise that he oppose the measures. The vast majority of Kennedy's delegates went on with their candidate to back Dion and help him secure the leadership.

"The allegations that Mr. Poilievre makes and that were repeated again in the National Post are totally baseless without any factual foundation whatsoever,'' Kennedy said.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070228/libs_wappel_070228/20070228?hub=TopStories

Well, Mr. Kennedy, those are all words. What we'll be watching for with interest is your statement of claim. Do you really want to take on Jonathan Kay and Pierre Polievre? Didn't think so.

I recommend ignoring albatros39a. That's what is done with small children when they behave badly in polite company. albatros39a -- you can come back when you know how to argue intelligently, and without resorting to inappropriate name calling.

Lorraine: Several years ago, while working for a tax prep firm (not H & R), the company was bought out, and of course some procedures changed. We had to start flagging all seniors returns with investment income, and send them on to Edmonton. For additional checking we were told. They were sent back in a day or so, no errors etc. We got a new office manager, from Edmonton who visited once a week. A couple of years later a certain companies shares started to take off. Then it went bust in a big scandal. Seniors flocked to the meeting about their losses. They told of nice clean young men coming to their door with offers to invest in said company. Many did. I always wondered how the sellers knew who to go to in small towns or apts in cities. It wasn't till a secretary of the company testified and her name and pic was on TV. Then it all hit me, but it was way to late to help. Sec was our office manager, in charge of all our returns for seniors with investment income. Company, Bre Ex. I did send said infor to the proper people, So I can see how seniors could be persuaded to invest in income trusts. All they need is a young, smartly dressed young man who makes some remark like, you remind me of my grandmother, etc. If they are lonely and have no close family, they are hooked.
I have always believed that those returns we flagged and sent to Ed were scrutinized and info taken re names, address, and what investments they had. Those seniors never had a chance. Now the libs want to use and abuse them
again.

Albatros: Final message to you. Save some of your vitro re PMSH, because you will soon have five years to spill it. Start preparing new ammo, what you have shot so far is boring and stupid.

Yukon gold:

Do you know all those things? How the hell do you "know" what I know or don't know? So, I'll tell you what I know...we (the taxpayer) get screwed when politicians just go out and spend money without any oversight. The price of a C-17 to the US Air Force is $237 million per airplane, excluding spares and program costs. The truth is, the CF could have leased strategic lift aircraft, on a continuously ready basis, for 20 years and still not reach the advertised cost of four new C-17s.

Shamrock:

Keep pointing fingers at the Liberals to try and forget what the Cos are doing.

*Conservatives, not Cos.

shamrock:

iberia and albratos are just a couple of Liberal/Dipper (same sh*t, different package) trolls that are going down with the sinking ship...hence the desparation!

As for paying back the money the Liberals STOLE the RCMP are still looking for $40 Million that is unaccounted for (Offshore accounts maybe?)

Also there is still about 35 ongoing RCMP criminal investigations that will hit the fan before long.

The multi millions of costs involved investigating the Liberal Party should be charged back to them....they should be responsible for this cost not the taxpayers. Gomery alone cost $40-8o Mil? NICE!

Now we have a criminal trial just starting here in BC with Liberals Basi and Virk facing charges....should be interesting!

The leadership race went on for about a year. During that time they all travelled across the country. Did any of you go to any of the meetings, take pic, see groups talking to the candidates after the meeting etc. Did you hear any comments in passing, that meant nothing at the time. These ethnic groups, if they have so much power, had to be stalking the candidates so they could decide who would be the one most easily swayed re the terrorist bill. It didn't all happen at the convention. I think the reason they supported Kennedy was a place to park their support. He didn't have a seat and it would be months before he could get one. I think in general conversations they discovered who could not be bought, who they wouldn't buy (Rae because of his wife) who they could smear. How many delegate selection meetings did they attend, where they forceful in who they wanted or voted for. Out of all the candidates, who would think the most easily bought would be. He just didn't think he would have to payback so soon.

Re: The Liberal leadership campaign:

Remember the anyone but Iggy campaign?
Check back and see who was really behind this.

Say what you will about the good professor I believe he was seen as someone who would not be a puppet for special interest groups. His backers were the Liberal elite establishment (PowerCorp, Desmarais, Magna, etc.) These same power brokers also backed Bob Rae - so they had two horses in the race.

That left the other special interest groups the dilema to prevent Iggy and Rae from winning; to target their support to more pliable candidates.

Gerard Kennedy was the preferred choice by these groups it would appear. Young, virtually unknown, some would say naive. Andm, he needed the block voter support.

Oops - the tables turned and Dion turned out to be the only "not Iggy or Rae" guy lift in the race.

The rest, as we now know, is history. Dion is rewarding Kennedy's supporters. Remember the majority of caucus support had gone to Iggy.

Dion has these people has in inside advisors. And, Dion too is virtually knknown, naive and needs the block support.

His "advisors" are picking off their own special interests one by one by one - and possibly Dion does not even realize he is being manipulated.

Comments?

Al W. Of course, you're right; it's just so much fun. The Tories are rank amateurs of corruption compared with the masters. They've lost access to the treasury, they thought only temporarily, and it's eating them inside out. The Libs may manufacture an election just to get rid of Dion. As Kinsella's blog says, opposition sucks, and they are not happy campers.

What must be most painful is that the Tories are getting just as good as the Liberals at political hardball. They must wince when Dion predicts a Liberal majority next time. I bet Boisclair is telling Dion to stop endorsing him, it's bad for his electibility.

Too funny. Fill in hyperbole here:

lberia, I know those things because I'm an air traffic controller, and an aviation buff on the side. Got any more smart questions?

We didn't get screwed. The AN124 is a big, cumbersome and rare aircraft with little pressurization below the flight deck. Hence, it can't carry more than a few troops. The IL76 is a relic -- first flown in the 60's, and active service in the early 70's. No thanks.

The C-17 is a much more practical aircraft, and, if deployed with NATO allies, will be much easier to service on station if required.

The truth is you know not of what you speak.

The finance minister is toying with making his income trust legislation part of the budget. The libs have requested that it be tabled sepately. Will the libs, Bloc or NDP vote for said budget. Probably not, and Harper has his election, with the soft on terrorism still in cdns mind. So, what does Dion do. He says those not voting yesterday will be punished. He has stated it is hard to make priorities, so what will he choose. Pass the budget? face cdns with a fractured caucus, sideshow remarks by iggy fresh on cdns minds, soft on terror, suspicion in cdns minds he was bought by the muslim vote. PMSH set a trap and the liberals fell right to the bottom of the hole. Couldn't happen to a better party.

Readers comments today has to be one of the most entertaining and enlightening words that I have read in a while. If only the voting public had the desire to hear what really goes on behind the party hype and spin. My hat is off to all.My prediction for next leadership poll.Layton ahead of Dion,only because little jackie has been smarter than normal lately and kept his face away from the microphone.

Yes, Yukon Gold. I was curious so I googled and found a paper that supported the AN124:

http://www.sfu.ca/casr/id-antonov-1.htm124

Hmmm, then this:

"The An-124 is the largest, capable of transporting 120 tons of equipment and/or cargo. Although least expensive at approximately US$50-million each (due in part to only used aircraft being available for purchase), the An-124 is a problematic choice. For example, it is no longer in production and there are a limited number (approximately 20) available worldwide, a number which continues to decrease, thereby making assured access agreements increasingly difficult to acquire and expensive.3 The An-124 was built during the Soviet regime and Transport Canada's regulations on the purchase of Russian-built aircraft create complications. With no defensive aids, the aircraft is unfit to deliver personnel to hostile environments. Because of questions surrounding its reliability, it is not NATO-certified to carry passengers. And the sheer size of this aircraft prohibits its use on smaller and damaged airfields."

http://www.ploughshares.ca/libraries/monitor/monj05g.htm

WallyJ, Layton hasn't been quiet, he's been invisible. It has cost him support to the Liberals, who should drop 5 points when Jack decides to show up. Problem is he, along with Bloq, are allied with Dion on the terror sunset clause. He should have done his environment deal with the Tories.

Yukon Gold, Canada did not need C-17s and C-130s. On average Canada has had a requirement for heavy lift once every five years over the past 30 years. Half the time the C-130 we have fly around half empty.
When we need heavy lift, Canada has the option of: chartering USAF heavy lift, chartering the Antonov or now a third option, Canada would have the option of using the NATO C-17 pool aircraft now on order. Yes NATO, who we are a member of, has ordered C-17s. So the question remains, why did the con government order C-17s that Canada doesn't need at over inflated prices? We could have even waited for the forth option of purchasing the Airbus 400.

Yukon:

An air traffic controller...and an aviation buff on the side? My,my...

"The AN124 is a big, cumbersome and rare aircraft with little pressurization below the flight deck. Hence, it can't carry more than a few troops."

88 vs. 102 for the C-17. A HUGE difference. Oh, the Antonov has a 330,000 lb payload; the C-17 only about 165,000 lbs.

"The IL76 is a relic -- first flown in the 60's, and active service in the early 70's."

Sounds alot like the Herc. And we're buying whole bunch of new Hercs, instead of going for the much cheaper (and certified) refurbished ones.

Defend the Cons all you want...+$3 billion for an untendered contract, when less expensive/more flexible alternatives are available is highly questionable, especially when the Defence Minister used to lobby for Boeing.

As for not knowing of what I speak, I happened to be in the navy the last time the Cons were in power. They made all kinds of promises to fix the military and in the end there wasn't enough money to buy fuel for the destroyers or to go to foreign ports. Kind of like what's happening now with Canadian ships not being able to join the NATO exercise.

I'm not defending the Liberals. I just expect my taxes to be spent wisely. And from what I see, the "New Government" is no better than the old government.

Ahhh, there it is! albatros39a recites the liberal mantra: Someone else can do it.

So, now you don't want the Canadian Forces to have new Hercs? What, you don't like saving lives in the Canadian wilderness? No SAR ops without the C-130. In fact, take away the Herc, and you might as well just contract out the whole air force to the Americans or NATO.

And yes, we could "borrow" some planes from the U.S. or NATO pool, but those are subject to availability. The NATO pool is there to support a nation's medium/heavy lift capabilities, not to replace it. That argument is ridiculous, since the NATO pool will consist of 4 C-17's -- the same number Canada is ordering. So, If our smallish forces require four aircraft, what do you think the odds of using those NATO aircraft in a timely basis are? Slim and none.

lberia, I'm glad you did a little research. Further to that, we get a number of AN124 flights every summer in and out of Winnipeg, and these things are the most cumbersome and inconvenient beasts ever to take to the air. I've seen both the Antonov and the C-17 in action, and the Globemaster can fly circles around the Russian. Just not a good choice for what the military needs.

Yukon:

The C-17 may be a better plane, but $3 billion is a lot of money to tie up for how often we're going to use them. Skylink Aviation Inc. (3w.skylinkaviation.com/) offered the DND a $42 million annual contract to put four heavy lift, long range aircraft at the disposal of the Canadian Forces on a 24/7 basis, including basing them at CFB Trenton with 8 Wing. They are a reputable company that has been in business for over 25 years. If they can't do it, the contract could always be revoked. And it wouldn't cost $3 billion.

Believe me, I'm the last person you would imagine advocating contracting out, but $3 billion for four planes is just insane.

lberia, new seating arrangements for the C-17 mean that the a/c can transport 188 troops now, not 102.

The size of the payload isn't the difference. I know the AN124 is the second-biggest a/c in the world. It still doesn't change the practicality. It doesn't change the fact that the leasing company would probably balk at taking the AN124 into any dangerous area, as it's basically a warehouse with wings.

They would be leasing the planes; the CF provides the pilots. Regardless, they have been flying into Iraq and Afghanistan for the past several years. Go look at the link.

Why did the RCMP allegedly seize the donor lists of the Liberal Party of Canada B.C. branch in March 2005 in connection with the investigation of breach-of-trust charges against former provincial government aides David Basi and Bob Virk?

That's what senior federal Conservative John Reynolds is asking after Basi and Virk's lawyers filed a disclosure application Monday in B.C. Supreme Court claiming that RCMP "attended the federal Liberal Party's B.C. office in March 2005 and seized donor lists."

Reynolds, 2006 Conservative election campaign co-chair, said if the RCMP seized donor lists the reasons should be made public.

"I don't know what the RCMP were looking for, but we should be able to know why they seized the Liberal donor lists," Reynolds told 24 hours. "There's no question that there's been a lot of things happening that there are no answers to and the public wants answers."

CP | Terror suspect Mohamed Harkat seeks loosening of tough bail rules

OTTAWA (CP) - The bail conditions for accused terrorist Mohamed Harkat are so stringent they’re making it hard for him to visit friends and relatives, keep medical and dental appointments, or even go into a public washroom alone, says his wife.
(national newswatch)

Yukon Gold said-
"So, now you don't want the Canadian Forces to have new Hercs? What, you don't like saving lives in the Canadian wilderness? No SAR ops without the C-130. In fact, take away the Herc, and you might as well just contract out the whole air force to the Americans or NATO."

I didn't say we shouldn't buy C-130s, I said we don't need C-17s and C-130s. The C-130Js will serve Canada's purposes just fine, and we also have the fleet (lemons purchased by the previous con government to bail out Canadian Airlines) of Airbus 310s to supplement the 130 fleet.
You may be an ATC in Winnipeg but up until 2 years ago I was in the centre seat of those 130s that sit across 18/36 from your tower, assuming you are a tower controller. I also hold a commercial pilots licence.
The point being is we don’t “borrow” airlift from the US, we rent it, and there is a big difference. If Canada were to get in on the NATO purchase I’m quite sure they would have increased the purchase by two airframes. We would still get the airlift that we have traditionally needed once in five years, at a quarter of the cost.

It has taken all of this time to have some kind of public reaction to the series of articles on firearms that was run by The Ottawa Citizen and which are still up on their website under Rapid Fire. To my knowledge, few, if any, within the MSM have reported on this in the West.

The link given at the bottom of these articles right into the Firearms registry is totally unconscionable on the part of the Citzen.

The information for these articles was gained via access to information, probably signed off on by some bureaucrat and designed for the eastern market only.

Likely this was with no other purpose than to cause problems for the PCs politically and to sway eastern voters in the urban areas to vote with the Liberals in the next election. This with absolute disregard for the safety of the Public, The Police, and the Privacy of individual registrants.

Hopefully the appropriate offices/agencies will receive another flurry of -ve feedback from this airing - and soon.

At the CBC website they are commenting that the Conservatives have surged ahead of the Liberals 36-31 nationally.

But when they report the numbers in Quebec, they say that the Bloc leads with 35%, followed by the Liberals(23), the Greens(13), and the NDP(7).

Where are the Conservatives???

Omitted by accident? By the CBC? I doubt it.

And then they close out by averaging the LAST THREE POLLS so the total is Tories 33%, Liberals 30%, so I'm sure they mean with the margin of error, presto!, we have a tie.

What an incredibly obvious pack of losers!

Sorry, the national numbers CBC are reporting should be Tories 36 Liberals 27.

Tories widening lead over Liberals: poll

Notice the typo below?

"Support for the fell to 27 per cent, well below the mid-30s the party held shortly after electing Stéphane Dion leader in December."

Pravda couldn’t stomach typing which party fell.

And this

"The numbers suggest the prime minister and his party are succeeding in convincing women, urban and Ontario voters that the Tories are a moderate rather than hard-right government, Decima CEO Bruce Anderson said. "

Where did this come from? The assumption that sane Canadians ie "women, urban and Ontario voters" have to be deceived by the Tories to get their vote.

They could never contemplate that “women, urban and Ontario voters” could like what they see in the Tories.

Ici le Professeur, Citoyen Dion; fluent in English; versed in socialism, too.

Conclusion: Citoyen Dion, Hezbollah Coderre, et al: The Liberals are soft on terrorism. ...-

Protecting security and rights with equal vigour

STEPHANE DION

Jonathan Kay's Feb. 27 column ("National Security vs. Liberal ethnopolitics") swallows whole the line that Prime Minister Stephen Harper raised last week of a convoluted conspiracy in the Liberal party for a vote in return for support at the leadership convention. He states as fact that "there is little doubt that certain ethnopolitical special interests are calling the shots" with regard to the Liberal party's position on the sunset clauses in the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Mr. Kay never contacted myself or any other senior Liberal for an on-the-record comment on how the Liberal party came to the conclusion that the two provisions in question should sunset. Had he done so, I would have described to him the caucus consultations that have taken place over the past month where Liberal members discussed in good faith the relative merits and deficiencies of investigative hearings and preventive arrests.

I would have informed him how a consensus emerged in our caucus that five years after their initial introduction, it was incumbent upon the government to prove to Parliament and Canadians that these extraordinary powers were effective and necessary in the fight against terrorism. The government completely failed in this task, choosing to demonize their political opponents rather than defend the actual provisions in question.

The government didn't do its homework. We were left with the impression that the government was more interested in playing politics with this issue than actually seeing the measure passed.

I would have made sure that Mr. Kay was aware the Liberal caucus is resolved in its determination to fight against terrorism and ensure that the rights of Canadians are respected. That is why we continue to support the vast majority of the provisions in the Anti-Terrorism Act, including the new anti-terrorism offences and increased surveillance capabilities....-

'Consequences' For Voting Against Liberals: Dion

Promise from Citoyen Dion.

A big Bravo Zulu to Yukon Gold for trying to have an inteligent conversation with the moonbats, Iberia and albatrod39a. Those two have shown that they never let facts get in the way of a good leiberal rant. Like YG I too have some real experience in the field (C130 maintainer for many years) and can tell you that the Canadian military has always had a need for stratigic and tactical airlift. Comparing the latest Herc with the original is like saying the Boeing 737-900ER is the same as the original 737-100.

Standing on the sidelines and asking for a ride (into combat) is just plain stupid. It is like having our soldiers renting their rifles when going into combat. I can see it now, first to Rent-A-Gun then off to the Standby Travel line at the airport. Brilliant!

If Canadian aircraft buying agents were really sharp, they could have saved us a bundle by checking into perfectly good near new aircraft on the huge used aircraft lot in Arizona.

There are some very efficient Bombardiere [impossible to spell], craft there for troop transport.

Avoid the ones with the Albatross splatt on them though. = TG
