ah, what's the Bugs Bunny character that always said, "I don't know how you did it, but you did it" is it in one of the Foghorn Leghorn skits?

This is the reason for 6 plus million hits.

Harper is loading the gun and sticking it to Dion and the Liberals collective hand. In Harper's Russian Roulette, every chamber of the revolver is loaded though.

Dion can pull the trigger and trigger an election that will cause the destruction of the Liberals in a fashion that might make Jack Layton Leader of the Official Opposition (could he be any worse than Dion at this point?) or Dion can pull the trigger and trigger the destruction of whatever crediblity he has left as Liberal Party leader by voting against his ideological baby.

In most jurisdictions, this would be called assisted suicide, but here it will be referred to as the moment of liberation for the people of Canada from the tyrantical reign of the Liberal Party!

In the game of chess it's called a "fork"....
Dion is truly forked! ;)

BTW - while reading your intro I had a vision of DiDi saying "Dat's not fair!"

OMMAG... Dion is forked like the hot dog he ate with one in Manitoba.

Whatever your neo-con handlers pay you to post that war crap I'll double it if you stick to Canadian politics.

I can't wait to see the response to this from Lizzy May.

Think she'll accuse Dion of being possessed by demons?

Good call Kate.

If Dion has any brain matter left at all and any pride, he will trigger the election and get his tenure over with. I can only imagine what kind of blue ponies he see from his pillow every night.

And Andrew, your pain is my joy.

Problem I see is that the Canadian public has been taught by the Liberals and the MSM to "love" Kyoto, even though most are clueless about what a money grabbing scheme Kyoto really is, so, might it backfire like the Ontario PC's, faith based issue? I hope not, but we saw the stupidity of Ontario voters just yesterday.

Whatever your neo-con handlers pay you to post that war crap I'll double it if you stick to Canadian politics.

Andrew, whoo hoo, you don't have any money, remember. You couldn't afford to pay anyone for anything. My guess, you are still on Mom and Dad's payroll, got just about enough to cover your lattes and a few beers a week. Andrew isn't a player in the more elite upwardly mobile workforce. He's at best an immature student, not necessarily the best and brightest; at worst, a disgruntled loser at a taxpayer funded civil service job who digests the lefty memes he's fed whole.

Don't you love the way CBC words their story?
"Tories to use throne speech to embarrass Liberals over Kyoto: report"

(Start the 'Harper is a Bully' counter now...)

Somehow, I can't imagine them using the same headline if it was 'Oncle Jean' beating up on the Conservatives/Alliance.

It would be something along the lines of "incredibly shrewd Prime Minister has dimwitted 'Neo-Cons' just where he wants them"

The noose has gotten so tight that the media is already starting with the pre-emptive spin. Don Martin's article today is a prime example, with quotes refering to Harper like:

"control freak with a mean streak"

"Harper vowed to unleash his war machine",

"Harper's flipped finger"

"Harpers...weakness as a frustrated school recess bully",

"Harper's my-way-or-campaign-highway parliamentary ultimatum",

"Prime Minister's heavy-handed posturing ",

"it smacks of a power trip going too far.",

"it gives voters a clear choice between Stephen the bully and Stephane the softie"

And thats out of a single Don Martin column.
http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/canada/story.html?id=dbd90c55-e178-46e2-a0a4-2390cc30b850

To use one of Mohammed Ali's terms (the only Muslim I ever liked) Harper is indulging in "rope a dope" strategy here.

I feel I should send in some money just for the entertainment value of this situation.

When people accuse Harper of being a control freak and not listening enough to his cabinet members, he simply being wise. He is so smart there isn't much they can tell him.

Trudeau did something similar, but he wasn't smart, he was intelligent, but was a useful idiot and much love my communists everywhere. We are still paying for his damage.

Good call, Kate.

But, I wonder if Dion will actually risk an election. He's changed, verbally, his policy; all he's asking for now is a 'green environmental policy'. He might slither out of an election based on his support for Kyoto by saying that the Conservative's plan on Climate - actually does 'create a greener environment' and that the Conservatives have 'wasted so much time' in the past 16 months..that it's 'too late for Kyoto'.

Dion knows that if there's an election, the Liberals will lose - and he's out. I think his current agenda is to prop himself up with Rae. This alignment with Rae is to defend himself against the invidious presence of Ignatieff breathing down his neck.

Then, ...heck...I'm speculating..Dion and Rae will also align themselves with McGuinty; they'll go after the Ontario voter; they'll try to talk, talk, talk, about propping up Ontario. You see, I'm betting that McGuinty is going to demand more and more and more money from Ottawa. Dion and Rae are going to be McGuinty's Best Friends - and attack Harper who won't just hand over money to Ontario. Dion and Rae are after the Ontario vote.

I don't think there'll be a fall election. Dion and Rae can't afford it; Ignatieff wants one. But Dion and Rae need time to allow McGuinty to ask Ottawa for money, be refused, and then weep on Dion/Rae's shoulders.

The problem with Kyoto (only one???) is that if enough of the people who are supposed to be looking after your interests, i.e. the guvment, say it is good for you then the sheeple of Canada just follow along without even knowing what it is all about, but they are secure knowing that big (lieberal, dipper, socialist) brother is looking after them.

To prove my point ask anyone if they know how much that last doctor visit really cost and where did the money go. Or the visit to the ER for that splinter/flu.

I deeply hope you're right Kate.
The fact that John Howard and Vaclav Klaus seem to be the ONLY world leaders speaking any truth to the global warming "issue", is incredibly frustrating...

If that's the case ET, maybe we should try to get Harper to kill another Liberal sacred cow: the gun registry. Right there in the Throne Speech, Stevie says "...and speaking of law and order, we are going to kill the gun registry, because its a stupid waste of time and money."

Maybe it won't make Celine blow a gasket quite the same as knifing Kyoto, but every little bit you can pile on helps. Make the little swine PAY for that no-election.

Whats your puppies name again? Kyoto?

Just curious, did Andrew call for the gassing of Jews in his [deleted] comment and refer to some fictional article in the Post about some apparition he had in a drug induced haze?

I think this could really work in Harper's favour.

Remember how the environment was supposed to be a key issue in voters' minds? Well, in the exit polls yesterday it was rated as very important by 5% of the electorate. Just 5%. The media has blown this all way out of proportion. Remember all those polls asking Canadians if they are curbing their energy use to save the environment? Canadians said no by huge numbers (even though they said in the same poll that they want a good environmental policy).

We want the government to do something; but we personally want to stay exactly the same. Harper can play to that. The truth is that Canadians really don't care that much about global warming.

For as much as the election annoyed and frustrated me last night, this is what gives me hope.

This is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. If it is true, it will make me markedly proud to be a Canadian.

On a side note, 24 hours ago, there was no way I could ever believe Harper would win a majority with the Bloc being as it is. And then Duceppe comes out and BASHES MULTICULTARISM. (It's in the G/M today) He smells fear, kids!

Penny: "Andrew, whoo hoo, you don't have any money, remember. You couldn't afford to pay anyone for anything. My guess, you are still on Mom and Dad's payroll, got just about enough to cover your lattes and a few beers a week. Andrew isn't a player in the more elite upwardly mobile workforce. He's at best an immature student, not necessarily the best and brightest; at worst, a disgruntled loser at a taxpayer funded civil service job who digests the lefty memes he's fed whole."

This is Penny's stock "argument" and it's typical of the level of what passes for debate here.

My reading of the Bob Rae (non)event is that the Liberal Party of Canada is the wholly owned subsidiary of Power Corp. I believe the 8 million dollar war chest was a (forgivable)loan (donation)from Power Corp and now Power Corp through John Rae is pulling the strings to get his unelected brother the critics job. Its only a matter of time before Iggy goes back to school and Dion shuffles off to obscurity.

Conservatives have 'wasted so much time' in the past 16 months..that it's 'too late for Kyoto'

ET: that'd be the weasel way out and no doubt what will happen. Expect similar from the AGW droolers and screechers once the sh*t hits the fan.

Gun registry would be a nice poison pill to put in the throne speech, but it's political kryptonite. But what Canadian would be against having an elected Senate, other than the Librano fossils that True Dough and his ilk stacked in there.

I suggest Harper put the triple E in the throne speech, and if defeated over that, then the Libranos are tarred with the 'anti-democracy' brush - perhaps fitting given the Librano/Media cabal that puts the Trawna suffling masses squarely inside their spin machine.

CTV OCT 11 - HARPER TO CREATE PANEL OF PROMINENT CANADIANS TO DETERMIN FUTURE OF AFGAN MISSION....to include Manley, Burney, Wallin and 2 others.

2 words to sum it up..

****ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT*****

PMSH takes the politics out of the Afgan mission and will allow the panel to make recommendations.

WOW....

Kyoto, gun registry, elected senate, wheat board, etc. Too many loaded issues to all be there without forcing Dion's hand to, in turn, force an election. We will soon know how hard Harper will push.

Awww Kate. It seems Garth Turner is an admirer of yours.

http://www.garth.ca/weblog/2007/10/11/a-matter-of-confidence/#comments

I have a feeling,just one,that before we rejoice,we must remember the past. The libs are a devious bunch that have oodles of money behind them. If you really believe that mo and his gang can influence a global scam,which I do,you must realize that they are capable of anything. If they set out to do something and it only costs them 100 mil.,it is oh well.pocket change. Kudos Kate.

It looks like Turner's reading comprehension skills rank right up there with his legendary political instincts.

Kyoto is dead as a door nail and every one in credible policy tanks knows it...the US has abandoned it ...even Hillary won't touch it, the CHINESE were never on board and are now seen as the globes largest polluter....the only people pimping the policy are known shysters and profiteers or delusional doctrinaire socialists from sub arctic backwater nations like Denmark and Sweden or 3rd wold tropical nations who have co@ credits to sell.

The Global business community and the smart policy tanks have written it off...this bad dream is history as a viable policy persuit in G8 nations so all that is left is the predictable whailing and gnashing of teeth from the bark biters.

Maybe the Libs are just waiting for the right excuse to roll over on this and make it disappear from the radar.

poison pill indeed ! although i was thinking more towards bringing back the death penalty for cop killers! if I'm not mistaken, some of the last polls done on the subject showed the greater population approved, even though the elites and academics didn't !

Ward -- Wow that is a bit much from one column. Don Martin needs to get some perspective. I am tired of journalists, such as Martin, who have made up their mind about Harper and then just keep playing the same broken record. They also tend to feed off of each other, so expect similar sentiments to come from the rest of the pack. Increasingly, the ideas are unoriginal and the writing hackneyed.

I’d hate to offend a reader and, given that, you know I’ve been mostly upbeat about Harper’s performance, but to needlessly appear mean-spirited is so unnecessary and given the delicacies of the moment, politically stupid. If he’s nasty now, just imagine what he’d be like with a majority? That’s why the voters are so nervous about him. He should restrain his natural impulses to dictate and dominate.
Anyway, keep reading and know my natural allegiances are small – c conservative, which is not exactly like the Star or Globe.

I have so much respect for you. Please dont let Dions talking points turn into the backbone of your future stories.

Mr. Harper is not going to let D. Williams push him around. PMSH in my opinion is finally the PM we need to actually stare down war mongers like Williams and others.

PMSH had every right to make his announcement when he wanted to. He owes no favors to a man who burns the Canuck flag whenever he sees fit.

PMSH has a backbone Don, that should be your story, not pinko bully talk like the Torstar and G&M.

Ever since CNN went on the air in 1980 "journalism" and "news" exploded in it's reach via one-to-many, top-down traditional "push" channels. How many available MSM news stations are there now? Are they a pack animal (sheep/wolves)? Has any of them ever given 1/20th the attention to AGW questioners as they have to those that have decided that the debate is over?

The answer to that tells you a lot, and it's really odd that dissenting voices are effectively squelched.

Of course, I guess it's already a fait accompli for them that the other side of the issue is 100% composed of evil oil companies and meanyheads.

Like you shaken, I'd like to see the election fought on the backs of all those useless senators.

Re; Kyoteee - all the Prime Minister has to tell the panic stricken auto union people in Ontario ( I think they woke up yesterday to a rude surprise - their idiot had a majority!!) what Kyotee would cost them with a 'carbon tax' on emissions. Ontario could sink into serious poverty. Who can they rob from to pay themselves if there is no cash from the 'have' provinces - like Newfoundland!!

I hope the people of Newfoundland have considered who Dion would 'pick' to support if he or any other puffin got into power! It was the puffins who robbed NFLD all these years, not the Conservatives under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The province would have never had ANY control over their offshore resources if Stephen Harper (then leader of the opposition) had not guaranteed that they would have that control if he was elected Prime Minister. Stephen Harper forced Paul Martins hand and most NFLDers voted Liberano! (Paulie got a minority thanks to them and 'others' willing to hire a known thief to run their country). These people do not like Canada very much; they certainly have no respect for their fellow citizens or themselves.

I do not believe for a heartbeat that Paulie would have kept that promise ( he was not a person who had any honor to stake on his word so he just didn't bother worring about keeping his word) and any NFLD person that thinks any Puffin would help NFLD (with 7 seats!) is a fool.

Alberta, Sask, Nova Scotia, B.C. will also be on the hit list of any deyawn/dipper type government.

Kate, you saw the writing on the wall long before the rest of us knew anything was being written! This explains the numbers on the bottom of my screen. You make your readers look pretty smart because we get the 'heads up' long before the msm puts on their head 'in the Puffin offal' gear, preparing for 'in depth' commentary.

Maybe Nobel Prize winner Al Gore can fill you in.

Garth Turner. If Canada were a Cat, he is the hairball that each party takes its turn coughing up.

Time to change the litter, and to buy a big dog.

"Maybe Nobel Prize winner Al Gore can fill you in"

Indeed, the man whose "documentary" was recently found by a court in the UK to be so riddled with lies and bias (9 demonstrably untrue claims), that it may only be shown to schoolchildren with a disclaimer. That Al Gore? The one who lives in a 17,000 square foot and flies around the world in a private jet to lecture us on our energy use? That Al Gore? I must say, considering past winners of the Nobel peace prize (Yasser Arafat), he is in good company.

Sure will devalue the Nobel if Al Gore is awarded a Prize given he fits the profile of a Charlatan.

Ontario was hit with a double whammy by the choices of the fools who voted and those who stayed home allowing a promise breaking(liar)lame brain to get a majority.

Danny Williams is so high on himself, it's me, myself and I all the time as if he was a Party of one. I's the bye is his rallying cry.
The National Post today refers to him as a Clown, well said.

My, you're hard to please.

Those boneheaded Norwegians have finally managed to devalue the Nobel peace prize to Zero by awarding it to Gore and the UN IPCC. Now we all know that all you have to do is lie through your teeth and steal money and you can buy one.

But giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Gore and the IPCC is entirely fitting with past winners. They're loud propagandists who've done nothing to promote peace.

Best quote on Al Gore I've read thus far: "The former US Vice-President has already taken over from Michael Moore as the most sanctimonious lardbutt Yank on the planet. Can you imagine what he'll be like now that the Norwegian Nobel committee has given him the prize?"

linky here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2007/10/12/do1202.xml

can the same result happen federally that just happened in ontario? remember the voters in canada really don't pay attention to what is going on in this country.
