I'm launching a new conservative political movement today - "Jason Kenney for Prime Minister".
Mr. Kenney noted that Parliament unanimously voted to make the Dalai Lama an honorary citizen, and said it is disturbing to think that Canada would let a foreign power dictate whom it should honour."I think it reconfirms that Mr. Chrétien and the Liberals have always pursued a policy in this area calculated to their own personal financial interests and those of rich and powerful friends," Mr. Kenney said yesterday.
"It's no mistake that Mr. Chrétien was calculating his retirement income in his relations in this area. [It was] a few weeks after he left the premiership that he was being signed on as a consultant to multinational companies with commercial interests in this area.
Mr. Kenney was clearly referring to Power Corp., the conglomerate founded by Paul Desmarais Sr. His son, André Desmarais, now the co-CEO, is married to Mr. Chrétien's daughter, France, and Mr. Chrétien's long-time campaign manager and adviser, John Rae, is a senior Power executive.
It was disgusting to watch that pathetic old fraud get up on his hind legs and yap about PM Harper's stand on china and the Dalai Lama.
Then he can get on the phone to his superiors and suck up, assuring them he did his best.
After Stephane Dion and Paul Martin, Cretin is the weakest Liberal leader in the history of Canada.(throw John Turner in there too)
The only reason he was able to win three elections is because of the decimated right wing in this country.
He was a total embarassment on the world stage and his constant bashing of the U.S. gives him little room to talk about Stephen Harper destroying trade between Canada and its trading partners.
Typical Liberal self-serving arrogance.

Posted by: D.J. McGuire at August 20, 2008 10:45 AMSo then, one could assume that the Conservatives have the documetation to prove said ties and are probably way more aware about Sidewinder, Power Corp., etc. than I could have hoped. While I'm glad to see this, it does bring up a troubling question. Why aren't they doing anything about it?
Posted by: Security at August 20, 2008 10:55 AMWas any corporation more aptly named?
Posted by: DaninVan at August 20, 2008 10:56 AMChretien may not be the weakest leader we've had but he's right up there behind Trudeau as the worst.
Jason Kenney is telling it as it is and that's what we need to hear from our politicians.
We've had enough of Liberal politicians of all stripes playing in politics for personal gain.
When someone aspires to lead the country it's not for their benefit, it's not about feathering their own nests, it's about the welfare of the people and the country as a whole. Someone needs to remind them at every opportunity.
In Chretien's own words: "You think that Canada is very important in the world? I remember when I was going to China … the press saying: 'Mr. Chrétien, you have to tell the president of China to do this and do that.' Oh really?"
Tell me again, Libs, why Canada is so important to Kyoto? And Kyoto so important to Canada?
Posted by: langmann at August 20, 2008 11:01 AMSeems sort of like a Pay Day Loan for politicians. Wink wink nudge nudge.

Desmarais, Chrétien and the rest of that crowd are nothing but pure sleaze.
When you scratch a wealthy liberal you are almost guaranteed to find a sleaze.
Posted by: TJ at August 20, 2008 11:15 AMPower Corp., Maurice Strong, Paul Desmarais, Lester Pearson, Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin and yes, Bob Rae because of his brother.
All have and do put trade with Communist China above all else as long as they get to line their own pockets.
Posted by: Bruce at August 20, 2008 11:25 AM"Mr. Chrétien's long-time campaign manager and adviser, John Rae, is a senior Power executive."
. . . and that would be the brother of Bob Rae, the fella currently trying to get Steffi to commit political suicide via the Carbon Shaft Tax Ripoff so he can have his shot at the Big Seat in the Liberano Money Laundering and Personal Financial Enrichment machine.
Cruton has been sucking at the Chinese teat for years. How else do you explain him selling out Canada's interests to enrich China via the Kyoto Accord.
Cruton is worse than Trudeau. Trudeau was a rich little Marxist wannbe who didn't give a shit about ordinary Canadians. Cruton screwed the country because he planned to do it.
Time to put a stake through the cold black heart of the Liberal Party of Canada. Tie to rid us of this political vampire once and for all.
Posted by: Fred at August 20, 2008 11:30 AMWho is “Dachand”? Interviewed by Peter Mahnsbridge on CBC, yesterday. His name means “Big Mountain” in Chinese. What does that mean? Read the Sidewinder report, referenced yeterday on this blog - “Big Mountain” is one of the names the Chinese give to the head of a Chinese Triad. Need I say more? The CBC was pumping this guys “in” in Chinese circles. Does the CBC have an agenda with this interview? What does this guy do in China, that benefits this country? Who is he really working for?
Posted by: jt at August 20, 2008 12:09 PMI saw Jason Kenney on TVO the other night answering questions from Steve Paikin. I thought Kenney did a masterful job of dealing with Paikin's cynical questions.
Kenney has got talent.
Posted by: TS at August 20, 2008 12:15 PMI posted on a blog, post 911, when Chretien refused to sign onto Canadian troops going into Iraq, his ties through marriage to power Corp. Power Corp owns about 6% of Total Elf Fina, one of the oil copmanies that had interests in operating oil fields in Iraq at the time. Check out Power Corps' organizational chart and what they own.
That post was used in the HoC by the Conservatives to point out the Liberal Party was being "used" to define Canadian foreign policy, by their ties to Power Corp. Lots of indignant replies from the Libs.
Sidewinder should be dusted off and further research needs to be done on the "ties that bind" to Chinese interests, just for starters, through Power Corp, Mo Strong and others. It's time to defend this country and to define who the Liberals really speak for.

Posted by: Kursk at August 20, 2008 1:07 PMTS, I too saw Jason Kenney on The Agenda on TVO last night. The topic was race and politics/multiculturalism and guess who got the last word? Bob Rae!! After Jason Kenney's last response, a long quote of Rae's was put on the screen.
Steve Paikin is a snake in the grass. So nice on the surface but just scratch it, and you get a lib-left, sneering-at-the-Conservatives, supporting-the-Liberals, reptilian cheerleader. Not a performance to be proud of, Mr. Paikin.
Jason Kenney's answers WERE masterful. He wouldn't take Paikin's poisoned, tongue-darting bait.
As for the Desmarais, it's high time our Parliament (and the MSM) began a serious investigation into Power Corp's tentacles that seem to reach into every dark nook and cranny of Canadian (Librano) politics and skulduggery.
Power Corp is the puppet master of Canadian politics over the past 50 years: Lester B. Pearson, Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien, Martin, ad nauseum. If the Conservatives or the Americans had a similar sinsiter backdrop to a political party, the Canadian MSM would be all over it, drooling with glee at the opportunity to bring down a corruption-ridden government.
So, how come the Librano$ get a free ride? Hmmm... A lot of people on the Desmarais/TotalElfFina/Kyoto/China gravy train... Let's find out just how many and who they are.
Posted by: batb at August 20, 2008 1:16 PMThe Chinese media has "picked up" on the story of Chretien bashing PM Harper not going to the Olies . Don't suppose Strong had anything to do with it.

Posted by: ron in kelowna at August 20, 2008 1:50 PM"...Mr. Chrétien's former communications director, Senator Jim Munson, called Mr. Kenney's comments "very unkind." "Mr. Chrétien was just stating the obvious. He believes in engagement with China, just as the Canadian business community believes in engagement," he said. "Whether it's human rights or business, it's better talking with China than insulting Mr. Chrétien."
It can hardly be considered an insult if it's true. Embarrassing, even humiliating perhaps, but hardly an insult. That's analogous to the Common Law on slander and libel. You can say or write anything about anybody, IF it's true. If it is true, it is not slander or libel.

It makes me smile to think that the CBC might be squirming just a bit as all of this starts coming out. There seems to be a burst of sitings of Librano corruption with fewer people being afraid to speak up about it.
I'm with a commenter on another thread here:

Posted by: batb at August 20, 2008 2:15 PMIt is interesting that when a Lieberal decamps from high office, the door with the big "Private" sign on it is always respected by the MSM even when said person periodically resurfaces to spread partisan bile.

Chrétien's former communications director, Senator Jim Munson
The fact is Chretien enabled the current cynicism of citizens towards politics in Canada. He should be buried in a grave full of golf balls.
batb,
But there is a company that the left side of the American political spectrum sees as pulling all the strings, Haliburton and Bechtel.
Whether it is true or not is another question. But the Power links are in plain sight, nobody writes anything about them...that leaves three possibilities
1) There is nothing there
2) There is something there but they have no proof
3) There is soemthing there but they are too scared to run it.
I have no idea which of those options it is.

Stephen, I'm pretty clear that it's option #3--and a healthy regard on the part of all of Canada's elites for the perqs of being so close to--and quite possibly in on the business deals of--Power Corp.
Think of all the members of the MSM who are connected to the Librano$ who, in turn, are connected to the Desmarais Power Corporation. They know what's going on. I suspect they're simply not willing to blow the whistle on the Sugar Daddy who's made their lifestyles so cushy, their bank accounts and their social calendars so full.
I think it's called self-interest and greed, the love of filthy luchre.
Posted by: batb at August 20, 2008 2:51 PMStephen,
I would tend to say it is simply because of bias (I can't explain such bias other than another list of options with 'promised positions such as a Senate seat or a Ambassadorship' as one of them.)
It's not only Power Corp that's been gazed over by the MSM: Shawinigate, HRDC Boondoggle, Adscam, Sidewinder, Gagliano and I'm sure I'm missing many others.
It's certainly not because the MSM cannot investigate ad nauseum: Mulroney and Airbus are a prime example.
One thing for sure: Stephen Harper will have to someday address the CBC "problem". It is a disgusting institution. It is unCanadian as much as it claims to be pure Canadiana.
Posted by: Grind a Grit at August 20, 2008 2:59 PMI'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned that the Chretiens were gifted a $2M mansion from PowerCorp shortly after Papa Jean left office. It was all over the news(maybe not).

"One cops sacrifice to save Canada"
To me Cpl. Robert Read is a hero, the most patriotic Mountie since Col. Len Nicholson. He deserves not only to be re-instated with backdated pension and benefits but an Order of Canada,too.
When the Harper Conservative government has done that I'll think they've cleaned up the Horsemen and are serious about fighting organized crime, but not until then.
Are they afraid? yes, as monies and influence in the scandal affected both Liberals and Progressive Conservatives.
If you aren't scared yet, note that the Supreme Court refused to hear Cpl. Read's appeal of his dismissal. If corruption goes that high both the rule of law and Cdn. sovereignty are compromised.

The problem is that Mulroney has been investigated to death without any smoking guns to procecute him with.

I wished the MSM had this ballsy approach to the LPC-Powercops cabal during its hayday...it really was the main driver of Canadian foreign policy....and of course the main insider who benefited from it.
Kudos to Kenny for going on record as exposing the powercorp-LPC conflict of interest...too bad its 10 years too late.
Bit it's good to see the pold corporate Librano collusion with Powercorp is still alive with the Rea connection. Get the to be a widely known fact and we will be on our way to ending this Librano-capitalist cronyism that made their dynasty.
Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at August 20, 2008 7:28 PMA couple of years ago I was shocked to be talking to friends -- pretty strong Liberal types -- who had never heard of the Liberal Party / Power Corp. connections. These are not ill-informed types. One is a lawyer with a high-profile Ottawa job. That these connections (now manifesting with Bob Rae) are not better known seriously underines democracy in Canada. People need complete information to make informed decisions, and it is MSM that is to be faulted here.
I posted this link yesterday re Sidewinder, but posted late, so am not sure many saw it. It seems relevant here also, as lots of info on those Demarais connections: http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2008/07/taste-of-oil-for-food-and-its-chefs.html
Posted by: LindaL at August 20, 2008 7:52 PMI think the way to smoke out the Liberals/Power Corp connections is via an election. Surely even MSM would not dare to bury claims coming from one of the parties involved in an election. The Conservatives should get on this. I think that if the New Dems were smart, they would too. Enough publicity around something like this and they could become the official opposition. With Dion in place, I think their chances are better than they have ever been. They should pull out all stops. Even if only a number of concrete details documented in Sidewinder would be put forward, that would start the process of uncovering the level of corruption among Libs. Running Brian(?) McAdam -- the former immigration rep to China who was profiled in the Citizen earlier this week, might be another way to draw attention to all of the under-the-table dealings and corruption among elitists in the Liberal Party.

Posted by: LindaL at August 20, 2008 8:17 PMWith respect to the Chretien outburst and the recent news story in "China's state-run English daily newspaper" -- it is ludicrous to think that anyone in China cares anything about Harper attending the Olympics -- or not. The story, of course, becomes "big news" in Canada. Is the Canadian media being manipulated? You bet! The story strikes me as being a clear indication that Mo Strong is pulling some strings -- this is another attack by the Libs. Their tentacles for smearing Harper clearly run far and wide. The agenda is to get the Libs back in so that the Lib/Chinese/Mafia/Power connections can start things running smoothly again.

I'm sure your question was rhetorical, but...
Could it be that the CBC gets 1 Billion+ from the government which is typically the "natural governing party"? Clearly we can not expect unbiased political coverage from a company that has such a clear conflict of interest.

"he [Kenney} cited a trip Chretien took to China less than two months after he stepped down with an entourage that included executives from Power Corp., the conglomerate founded by Paul Demerais. His daughter France is married to Demerais' son Andre. Kenney also noted John Rae, a longtime adviser to Chretien and a financial backer of Bob Rae's Liberal leadership campaign, is an executive of Power Corp."
>>>>> Boob Rae, Mao Stlong's nephew, jumps to defend Jeancula Chretien:
"Rae, the Toronto Liberal MP, said Kenney's attempt to personally smear him [Chretien] is disgusting, and said the debate deserves a higher level of discussion."
>>>>> Boob Stlong also say to Halpel, go to China and kiss his uncle Mao Stlong on the cheeks:
"This is a policy difference between two parties about how to engage China," he said. He also urged Harper to "send a message of constructive engagement" by attending the closing ceremonies of the Olympics."

How about Chretien's vindictive statements that were totally uncalled for.
It's nice to see the Globe and Mail dabbling in the truth. Sticking their toe in the water. They're certainly a lot safer doing so than they would have been a few years ago -- maybe they and other MSM will take the plunge sometime and deliver straightforward...uhh, what's the word? -- oh yeah, reporting on the factual details about BNP Paribas, Powercorp, etc., etc., as plainly elucidated in this straightforward piece of writing --
http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/1/17/133225.shtml
Linda L. mentioned another link above, I'd like to second it, it's a connect-the-dots piece, all factual-like, by a blogger -- an American, I believe -- who manages to outperform our Lib-remora media -- and other media, such as the National Post -- by a factor of about a thousand. Probably took A. Jacksonian a half a day, and he didn't have to leave his desk:
http://ajacksonian.blogspot.com/2008/07/taste-of-oil-for-food-and-its-chefs.html
Bookmark it, and be sure to read all the provided links. There it all is, on the record, and yet, inexcusably, for most Canadians, including the majority of Liberal supporters, *there it's not.*
Speaking of Liberal supporters, it's amazing how information that is merely factual can so effectively thrown a spanner into the brainworks of Liberal supporters -- check out the the 'counter-arguments' of the Libs' defenders in the comments at the Globe article:
"What a bunch of anti-Liberal propaganda! LOL."
"Stupid Harpo's attack dog."
"When are decent people going to stand up and condemn Harper and his goon squad for their unfounded personal attacks...Democracy is under attack and it's happening right here in Canada."
"'Yap, yap, yap,' said Conservative lap dog Jason Kenny. 'Yap, yapitty yap!" And the nation ignored him as it generally does."
"Cons = Liars."
"Typical Conservative mudslinging....show a little dignity."
The Lib/left and the MSM aren't in the driver's seat anymore, and it's showing on them.
Finally, a question: when is the National Post going to devote a couple of feature pages to this massive story, which has affected our nation's politics and business like no other for the last twenty-some years? They could title it "Time for Our Nation to Come Clean", or something like that.
The whole Truth-Telling thing would be a good business model.
Globe and Mail had this comment from someone named Johnny 125. Chilling:
"Chretien's last visit to China was last November [2 months prior] and among his last official duties was a formal meeting with Chinese Prime Minister .. on his final day in office on Dec. 12. Congressional investigations were carried out into CITIC, China's largest military industrial corporation. Clinton testified that he made a mistake getting involved with CITIC.. In Canada CSIS was ordered to destroy their report into CITIC's economic infiltration into Canadian society."
What gets me is the nerve of boob rae and the other liberals making it look like PM Harper is attacking Crouton.
What did Crouton expect when he came out against the Prime Minister? Of course Crouton was going to get a good smash in the balls. Does he still think the liberals are running the show? Did no one tell him the gig was up, that the liberals are losing their control over the msm. That there are other forms of media that people trust over the msm?
Crouton took the trust of the nation and used it to pad the pockets of his buddies. Canadians won't forget soon.

These words stand out from here:
"The Desmarais family had to know what was going on: they own Power Corp, had major dealings with Saddam and then became one of the majority holders of the main bank in OFF. They had all the necessary business acumen, knowledge and skill to understand what OFF was doing as witness by the oil sands areas purchased by the family. And as they were part of the Ertoil deal, just how can Auchi explain that he was deceived there and then went on to form a company with the people deceiving him? None of that washes with the laundry."
"That intertwined web must be pulled apart, not just for the US but for all Nations: this is a deadly threat to all as it empowers the very actors looking to tear the Nation State fabric asunder. The corruption is far deeper than it has ever been in modern history, even with the Dutch East Indies Company included.... you have to get back to Roman times for an equivalent of such deep corruption to barbaric ends."

likes of Peter MacKay for treating it seriously.
And it displays, in its essence,
anti-Italian bigotry. I hope Gagliano sues
the ass off of everyone who joined this
sickening pile-on.”

"Hussein was not alone in his corruption, and several others involved in the money flow, including government firms and politicians in Europe, are now nervously following the investigations while checking out one-way flights to Paraguay.
"Top among these is the European-based BNP Paribas bank, which the U.N. chose to administer the program and which reportedly received nearly $1 billion for its efforts. Congressional investigators reviewing the bank's actions discovered broken rules, missing documents and improper transfers by BNP Paribas, which up until now has been assumed to be a French bank.
"In fact, BNP Paribas is actually controlled by Power Corporation, an appropriately named Canadian company that has a shocking track record of 'business' relationships with the worst gangsters and tyrannical regimes in the world.
"BNP Paribas also has one other distinguishing feature: a direct corporate and familial relationship with the persons running the government of Canada for the last twenty years.
"The truth about BNP Paribas and Power Corp. sheds new light on Canada's seemingly bizarre anti-American foreign policy in the Middle East, in China and elsewhere."
(...)
"BNP Paribas and TotalFina may have blood-stained corporate histories, but the intimate and intricate connections of Power Corp. to Canada's governing elite raise the truly disturbing questions."
Well yes, but not in Canada. C'mon, that's our embedded ruling elite you're talking about.
Dr. Evil aka Maurice is behind this crap as usual, #1 stupid Jean did his job at stealing as much as possible from Canadians, but #2 Mr. Dithers was a total screw up as a theif for the lieberals so the gravy train has been interrupted. The fact that these theives are not in power is so devastating to their off shore accounts that Dr. Evil will resort to anything including changing the course of news in the Power corrupted msm in this country.
Posted by: bartinsky at August 21, 2008 12:20 AMHad a chance to hear some rumors from a person in Montreal . One floor in the head office is decorated in Napoleonic furnishings. More than one floor is decorated Chinese, many staffers are Chinese, Desmarais family educates their children in China, the nation of tomorrow. Armed bodyguards are hidden behind wall panels in the high executive offices. This person was adamant that these are the people who really control our nation. Any one else heard of things like this?
