Attempts To Reach Justin Trudeau For Comment Have Been Unsuccessful

Belinda Stronach and Krista Erickson have also been strangely silent. And Sheila Copps?

I heard they are also waiting for word from Sir John A, but apparently he is having a hard time finding something to wear!

Posted by: Aizlynne at November 30, 2008 9:02 PM

Next the Liberal will be holding a seance in Parliment ,trying to implore advice from the ghost of Trudeau past.

Posted by: Revnant Dream at November 30, 2008 9:03 PM

Young Justin is either smart enough to keep his mouth shut or he's being deliberately insulated by the media...

Posted by: Richard Evans at November 30, 2008 9:06 PM

Yup. Time to start the chatter asking where Pierre's son stands on this.

Posted by: Kate at November 30, 2008 9:11 PM

I was angry enough without having a picture of the Antichrist stuck under my nose.

Kate, please refrain from ever doing that again. I'm in good shape but a heart can only take so much pressure and my ticker's at about 900psi...

Posted by: Warwick at November 30, 2008 9:22 PM

They should organize a sit in at Trudeau's offices. He has to speak up against this or the myth pops like nothing you have ever seen...

Posted by: do what's necessary at November 30, 2008 9:25 PM

Evans,

I think we know that there was only really one viable option: the creep's media fans are covering for him so he doesn't have to take a stand.

"Yup. Time to start the chatter asking where Pierre's son stands on this."

My guess he will side with the commies Taliban Jack, Marxist Duceppe but with Bob Rae in the mix.

I heard Justin's only reaction so far is:

"Welcome to the 1980s."

Iberia I realize you are chronologically challenged but even you should understand that this was not Harper's doing. Layton and Duceppe and Dion were plotting this since before the last election. They were simply looking for an opportune time that would most exonerate themselves from this coup.

Posted by: Joe at November 30, 2008 9:48 PM

I wonder how many old guard Libs held shares in Petrofina before Petro Canada, under Maurice Strong, with the guidance of Trudeau paid over $100 a share when they were worth less than $20?

Wouldn't it be nice to unseal that deal that has been hidden from Canadians as a state secret for so long?

"Pierre's father owned a chain of gas stations in Quebec which he sold to Petro Fina prior to WWII. As payment, Pierre's dad got a lot of shares in Petro Fina. This sale made Pierre Trudeau heir to a sizeable fortune. Pierre's dad died leaving his fortune to his wife.

In the 1970's the Arabs jacked up the price of oil and the Canadian government under Pierre Trudeau decided it needed a national "toy" oil company, i.e. Petro Canada. The boys in Ottawa decided they needed a chain of gas stations in their "toy" oil company. Petro Fina owned a chain of gas stations in eastern Canada. The stock was trading at about 10 bucks. The government began negotiations with Petro Fina and its stock rose and rose and rose. Finally, the government closed the Petro Fina deal, got the chain of gas stations, paid Petro Fina big dollars and our government got more debt.

Mrs. Trudeau got rich on the shares she held and Pierre was very happy to see his Momma get rich because he was the heir of her estate. A number of years later, Momma died and Pierre got rich too.

The documents concerning the sale were sealed for fifty years as state secret.

Pierre Trudeau, our CBC created national hero, was a crook."

The great moral coward who failed to rise to the challenge of his generation, who stayed all warm and comfy in Montreal while hundreds of thousands of real Canadians volunteered to save democracy from the tyranny of Hitler's brand of socialism.

A truly skanky piece of Liberal pond scum who should be reviled for his moral cowardice. I'd spit on him if he was still alive.

Canada's greatest embarrassment - and that is saying something considering we now have Whacko Jacko butt licking the Bloc Traitors.

"A deal has been negotiated between NDP Leader Jack Layton and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion that would see them form a coalition government for two and a half years, the CBC's Keith Boag reported, citing sources.

"The most difficult question is who'll be the leader," Boag said, adding that Dion, who negotiated the deal, believes he has the right to be prime minister"


Well now we know what entitlements that Steffi is entitled to . . . being our PM

What a dufus, wonder how fast it will take Iggy's campaign to bitch slap this loser back to reality.


Posted by: Fred at November 30, 2008 10:25 PM

If the conservatives are defeated and the GG agrees to let the troika govern, then I repeat -
Canada will be a de facto COMMUNIST led state.

I would hope Harper has a surprise somewhere for the sleazy coniving communist bastards.

LOL, OMG!

Posted by: huffb1 at November 30, 2008 10:34 PM

I would like to know what Steffi has to say about all this,or rather what Steffi's woman has to say. He has also been noticeably absent. I do miss him. "Mr.Dion,if you are annointed prime minister by the governor-general,what will you do to stengthen the economy?".Reply," who is dis governor that is a general,I don't know him,and I don't think I would be an ointed prime minister like that bully Steven 'arper,what does ointed mean? Can we do this over?". Yeah,I miss him.

Posted by: wallyj at November 30, 2008 10:39 PM

"Can we do this over?""

Exactly right. Like the "interview", Stephanie didn't like the outcome of the election, so he wants to do it again, but since he is the leader of the Entitlements party, why bother with an election.

Posted by: Skip at November 30, 2008 11:02 PM

I suspect that PET is rolling over in his grave over this (figuratively-speaking obviously and I think he was cremated). For the liberals to cut a deal with separatists makes a mockery of everything he stood for, not the least of which was his use of the War Measures Act.

Which brings me to the genius that is Kate:

How could PET's son - the newly elected MP vote join ranks with the Bloc? Surely there must be many others (iggy for one) who would not vote in favour?

Posted by: Gord Tulk at November 30, 2008 11:07 PM

"Layton and Duceppe and Dion were plotting this since before the last election."

Sure, and one election before that, Harper wanted a coalition with Layton and Duceppe to force Martin out of power. But that was then...

Burn, Harpercrits, burn.

Posted by: lberia at November 30, 2008 11:15 PM

Iberia, I believe Harper and the bloc were going to vote together to end Martins rein of power and bring about an election. This is a little different than actively governing a country together. Don't ya think? Duh.

Criminals, communists, and separatists, all working together. Kinda gives me the warm fuzzies.

Posted by: Cascadian at November 30, 2008 11:45 PM

Oh lberia...fact check.

Harper wanted an ELECTION and not an overthrow of the govt nor a sadsack coalition installed as the govt.

It's ok. You're forgiven for wanting a do-over.

Posted by: Ownshook at November 30, 2008 11:46 PM

Of course it's different when the Conservatives do it.

From a story by Bruce Cheadle, The Canadian Press:

The Conservative's claim that a coalition government would have no legitimacy does not accord with Harper's own position on the matter just four years ago.

In September 2004, Harper wrote to then-governor general Adrienne Clarkson to argue that she should "consider all your options" if the Liberal minority of Paul Martin was to fall on a confidence vote.

"We respectfully point out that the opposition parties, who together constitute a majority in the House, have been in close consultation," Harper wrote.

Harper co-signed the letter with NDP Leader Jack Layton and Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe.

Posted by: lberia at November 30, 2008 11:46 PM

Wow! a coalition of idiots, losers and separatists. I think these people are fairly desparate. Could in the end be the best thing to ever happen to the Conservatives. Can you imagine the infighting in such a government? The Bloq and the Liberals? The Liberals and the NDP? None of these folks share ideology or enough pragmatic policy to be viable. They could last a while as a government I suppose, but can you imagine the leaks to the press? Bring this on, if they want to control the economy right now let them do it. They'll self destruct in the next election and tar themselves as the problem!

Posted by: CanuckInMI at November 30, 2008 11:50 PM

Let em have their coup.

Then watch the riots... when taxes are doubled. Talk about your civil unrest, gas at $1.50/litre in Tranna again, and the Librannos, of ADSCAM fame get the blame.
There's always a silver lining.

Posted by: eastern paul at November 30, 2008 11:54 PM

Iberia, don't be stupid. Its a far, FAR cry between the seperatists helping to defeat a minority governement which always eventually happens and on the other hand, asking them, a party dedicated to destroying our country's unity, to help sit as part of that government. That is an abomination, and seriously putting all the fun of political partisanship aside for a second, the fact that you can't or won't see the difference is utterly disturbing.

Posted by: Lycan Stark at November 30, 2008 11:58 PM

Regardless of what you think of the opposition, Harper has changed the day of the vote and he has been backtracking on his policies all weekend. Some leadership. Do anything to stay in power. Steven Harper...not a leader!

Hey Lycan Stark: (From CP)

"Those talks did not invoke a coalition, but rather revolved around replacing the elected Liberal minority with a Conservative government led by Harper and supported by the New Democrats and Bloc on an issue-by-issue basis."

You guys can split hairs all you want, the end result would have been the same. But it's different when Conservatives do it...

Posted by: lberia at December 1, 2008 12:29 AM

There's been some talk that not all Liberals will show up for this important vote.
Enabling the Conservatives to continue, with their agenda.
So if the current state of affairs in Ottawa continues with a Conservative minority government, what is the chance that Stephen Harper will include the item that seemed to start this weekend's blog rage? The banning of government handouts to all political parties. Can this be simply added back into the mix for next mondays vote? With an insufficient number of Liberals to strike it down?

can't make it up folks, I think we all underestimate PMSH, still.
especially the dead tree pundits.

Posted by: marc in calgary at December 1, 2008 12:42 AM

"Those talks did not invoke a coalition"

===================

Iberia, maybe you should read that part of your own quote again. Then go back to sleep.

Sorry guys, I'm done throwing meet under the bridge now.

Posted by: Lycan Stark at December 1, 2008 12:58 AM

"...replacing the elected Liberal minority with a Conservative government led by Harper and supported by the New Democrats and Bloc on an issue-by-issue basis."

Not a coalition, just replacing the party that was elected to run the country. So what part are you Cons pissed off about? The coalition, or replacing the party in power?

Posted by: lberia at December 1, 2008 1:37 AM

Are you trying to scare us with horrific spectres of terrible times past, Kate?
Sure made my supper lurch in my stomach.

Posted by: Jema 54 at December 1, 2008 1:59 AM

Earlier someone said that Sir John A was having trouble finding something to wear. Actually, I think he's having trouble finding something to drink!

Personally, I'm a little ticked at PMSH. First, he throws the Hill into a fit, and then he, actually his campaign chair, hits me up for a donation because the oppostion is threatening to topple him. As I said when this story broke, I wasn't too comfortable with Harper's tactics. Now, two retreats later (union strikes and party funding) and still we're faced with non-con vote.

I believe in PMSH's economic strategy. I'm not convinced that showering tens of billions over the economy is necessary at this point. As Peter Seller's character 'Chance' the gardener articulated in the movie Being There , if the roots are strong and healthy, the plant will grow well. IOW, get the economic fundamentals correct and the politics will look after itself.

Governing should be boring. It should be deciding which water work projects get funded, which roads get built, and which trade pacts get signed etc. It shouldn't be about entitlements and pet projects in members' ridings.

All 308 should suck back, reload, take a deep collective breath and get TF on with running the country.

Posted by: PhilM at December 1, 2008 7:09 AM


PhilM, you realize of course that this coalition to take down the Government was being formed long before Mr. Harper did anything, and was going to happen no matter what the Government did.
To say that the Prime Minister caused it, is just wrong.
I would admit, though, that its possible that the Prime Minister moved the schedule up a bit, so as to not allow the opposition to have more time to get organized.

Posted by: Lee at December 1, 2008 7:58 AM

Hate to say it,but I gotta agree with lberia on this one.Did not know I was voting for a balless idiot in PMSH.He has done more flip-flops then a fish out of water.Oh well.We elected a wussie,and so be it.

Posted by: Justthinkin at December 1, 2008 8:18 AM

Justin has a great opportunity here. He can stand up for his father's legacy and refuse to truck with the separatists. If so, he'll considerably strengthen his position for the future.

Unfortunately, I believe he is too much of a leftist and will be only too happy to deal with the NDP. We'll see what he is made of.

Don't expect too much if you are realistic.

Posted by: Two Cents at December 1, 2008 8:56 AM

My take:(By sequence of events)

1- The bombs have been dropped since Economic statement. The MSM is in a coverage frenzy assuring public awareness and debate/word of mouth communication at water coolers and kitchen tables with many opinion polls to come. The sleeping Canucks are again shaken out of slumber since last October's election:
> The $1.95 per vote per year is now out there. More than 80% of Canucks unsurprizingly unaware until now. Will not go well with majority of electorate.
> The public servant unions already backing Opposition coalition to insure pay increases and strike bans not jeopardized. Majority struggling private sector taxpayers will not be amused.
> Opposition coalition with secret NDP tape recording that plans were already set up to overthrow government even prior to economic statement will not go well with electorate fresh out of $300,000,000 election.
> Raging debate if opposition coalision would be accepted by GG with ex separatist ties in Quebec is a huge liability in her decision process. Again, electorate, especially new money/influencial/western Canadians in uproar threatening unity if coalision is accepted by GG.

2-60% chance the three stooges back down before Friday dec 5 and accept to wait for formal Flaherty budget if scheduled to be tabled Jan 27/sign off on pass weekend modified economic statement for now.

OR:

3-40% chance Harper prorogues House until jan. 27 to present budget (Note that Obama would have started to throw money bags at GM and others by then or not: TBD. Logically Canada has to wait for US to make move/Canada is pure export Nation...Too bad MSM not saying this).

4-Budget is tabled Jan.27 with only stimulus plan the already budgeted 30 billion infrastructure fix. Harper targets to still avoid deficit by reigning in expenses including cut to public funding of political parties, ban on strikes by public servants 'till 2011/hourly increase caps like proposed in economic statement and other deficit fighting initiatives (Hopefully, Obama will propose similar cut objectives to US government giving Harper ammunition for budget acceptance by electorate).

5- Budget is defeated by Opposition.

6- GG decides on election rather than controversial opposition coalision government.

7- Electorate is furious and well informed of the issues (See #1 above).

8- Harper's election machine is still the best lubed of the four. The Liberals are broke and in dissaray with or without new leader. Harper moves an election batalion in Quebec to make sure Duceppe's lying ass is not free reign like last election.

9- Conservatives win a majority. Layton happy Liberals are all but dead by now.

Conclusion:
Who says Harper is in damage control right now? The man is the Bobby Fisher of Canadian politics: A chess master.
The so called "Coup" is being remotly controlled by the PMO and who knows, Jack might be part of it too for obviously different long term reasons.

Posted by: Right Honorable Terry Tory at December 1, 2008 10:40 AM

Trudeau 2.0 would be wise to stand up to this. If he stood up for national unity and opposed any coalition with the Bloc, he would be seen as the next great champion of Canadian nationalism. He could ride this to victory at a May convention as a politically untested, but highly symbolic candidate.

Posted by: Aizlynne at December 1, 2008 12:04 PM

This coup d'etat brings home how extremely important it is to choose a person with a clue to serve as Governor General. Martin had no time or interest to take care so he took the choice of a Liberal MP from Quebec and went with it.

The Bloc will sit in our government if this troika succeeds and they will hold great power because the other two rag-tag asshole parties who only care about power can't do it alone.

It should be brought home to all people, Layton and Duceppe were plotting this before the fiscal update so it's not about anything but power.
Layton also had the gall to say having Duceppe in the troika for power would be good for Canada.
WRONG JACKASS, IT'LL BE GOOD FOR QUEBEC ONLY, IT WILL TEAR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY APART.

Posted by: Liz J at December 1, 2008 12:07 PM

Just remembering the election, the media kept telling us we didn’t want the election, who ever heard of that before? And the cost! Why every Canadian is scandalized by the cost of the election. Now they are going to tell us we have had enough of elections, we don’t need elections? Where they listing to the Liberal /NDP plans too? Seems MSM has some well laid plans afoot as well.

Why not Justin T as a conservative?

Back in 1917 during the conscription crisis, it was the SMART Ontario Liberals that formed a coalition with PM Borden's minority government to pass the act... They of course returned to the Liberal fold in 1920...

How about Iggy and McCallum crossing the floor?

Better still... stay where you are and let the conservatives either govern or let me vote again... or as many times as it takes..

I do not need a separtist leaning GG to form the basis of what amounts to a coup d'etat!

Posted by: NorthernLight at December 1, 2008 12:22 PM

I agree with you, Ron. At times like these and most federal elections, we really feel it out here in B.C.

Can you imagine, Libby Davies and/or Ujjal (20 vote-win) Dosanjh representing B.C. in this Coalition of the Detested?

Posted by: Soccermom at December 1, 2008 12:22 PM

If you're from Western Canada, you need to focus on an larger independent state, and forget Trudeau and all the other heathens that have had us on a puppet string since the late 60's.
Just imagine the wealth we'd enjoy if we kept our energy royalties here in the west. As a matter of fact KATE, that would make a good headline and/or topic of discussion.
Interesting to note that in a 2004 Western Standard magazine survey, 33% of Western Canadians were ready for an indepenedent and seperate state. We only need another 18% NOW is the time to act!!

Posted by: ron in kelowna at December 1, 2008 12:44 PM

My suggestion for Stephen Harper's address to the nation:


My fellow Canadians.

Last week the Conservative Partyof Canada, in attempting to guide Canada through the greatest financial and economic challenge of our generation, having recently won a national election by a wide margin, as its first order of business made a series of proposals that including limiting the ability of government employees to strike and stopping government funding of political parties. We also indicated that although the Government of Canada would intervene where appropriate to support the economy of this country, we would do so based on how events in the United States and elsewhere evolving, and there was no need to make a hasty and likely wasteful decision.

The opposition parties find this intolerable. They depend on tax dollars for their political funding. They appear to believe that government and its employees should not share the burden and hardship that ordinary citizens face daily. They believe that tax dollars can buy our way out of an economic crisis that has enveloped the world.

They opposition parties do not recognize that our country has the strongest economy and least debt of any of the major economic powers, and that because of this we are best positioned of any major nation.

The opposition parties believe that a coalition of socialist, separatists, and Liberals can somehow provide better and steadier guidance for the next few years than the current government has provided in the past 3 years.

I believe that this is would be a tremendous mistake, not only now, but for the precedent it sets on how Canada should be governed in the future.

After due consideration, and in the interest of the nation, I have decided to withdraw the proposals relating to taxpayer funding of political parties. I do this in the interest of moving on past this politically charged issue and getting on with the effective governance our great nation. However, in the next election, I will run on this item as part of our election platform, because I believe it is the right thing to do.

I urge Canadians to consider the issues, and to indicate to their members of parliament, the media, their friends and family, how they feel about the events unfolding this week.

Despite the poisoning plotting of the opposition cabal and the wishing thinking of some MSM, the majority of Canadians do not and will not accept the proposed coalition to lead this country. If the opposition parties will not support the current government, let them do so by forcing an election. They can then choose to run independently from each other or not. Ultimately, Canadians will decide - as they should.

Dear Mr. Dodek,

Since you are a learned man, it would have been interesting for you to provide even one example of historical precedent where the Governor General handed over power to the Opposition Leaders under remotely similar circumstances to what we have now AND where the duly elected PM was demanding a new election.

The fact that you did not speaks volumes.

Tories discuss creating western "financial hub"

December 01, 2008 - 6:24 am
660 News Staff


Click here to find out more!

The Stelmech Tories are floating the idea of creating a western based financial hub, hoping to turn the province into a major global financial player.

The hub would cluster financial operations, as the province continues to look for ways to take financial clout away from eastern Canada.

The Finance Minister tells The Herald major banks in Toronto don't always understand the financial needs of the energy sector and it would be in the province's best interest to create it's own hub.


I digress from my last statement - Ed IS paying attention! First step folks ... first step.

liberal ron: Conservatism IS about the individual. Giving individuals the right to make decisions for themselves, to spend THEIR money, to enjoy freedom, to thrive and prosper. If you instead said there's no room for individuality with the "we know better than you" Liberalism/Socialism, most would agree.

Considering that little lord f@#$ pants ran on his father's coattails and money, it is wholly appropriate that we question whether his loyalty lies with Canada(like his father) or the libranos.

Because, at this point in history, the libranos interests are surely counter to Canada's interests.

And, one other thing. It sickens me to see any federalist politician(yes, iberia, blah blah blah, harper wanted to align with the bloc to bring down mr dithers)throwing his hat in with treasonous pond scum(with a nod going out to pond scum, which is one notch higher on the evolutionary scale than dirtbag libranos).

To think that my family served for over 100 years in Canada's military in the last century, only to have this country potentially screwed by a few left wing jerk off's.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!

I find it funny how we blame harper when this was all planned before the election. It doesn't mater what harper did or didn't do.
I couldn't vote for any of the main party's in the last election or the next.
I voted for the Christian Heritage party for two main reasons.
1)Henry Morgentaler received the order of Canada.
This butchers only claim to fame is murdering babies. I don't care what your view on abortion is, we can agree there are far more deserving Canadians out there.
2) 24 billion just handed over to the banks. The same banks the have gouged us for years, making obscene profits year after year, with the prime minister smugly saying its just pocket change. 1 8th of the overall budget $718 dollars lumped on the backs of every single Canadian is not pocket change.
Now TD bank is buying up US banks because Quote “we have all this government money we don't know what to do with.
none of these party's deserve your vote

I digress from my last statement - Ed IS paying attention! First step folks ... first step.

I sure in hell hope so. Steady 'Eddie' was the best person for leadership of the 'Conservatives and the Conservatives were the best choice of leadership in Alberta. I have to admit lately that I have being worried about steady 'Eddie' about his policies and spending habits lately. After 'King Ralph' and his outlook of kick the shit policies that wasn't good for Albertains it is hard to get used to this soft skilled approach.

After Bill Good quoted a Liberal party hack who said that "as long as we provide good government then people will accept it."

Norman Spector cynically responded, "then why do we even have elections? Let's follow that advice and just follow the system in China. Because that's precisely what their leaders over there say all the time too."

Which makes me realize that there's a good slogan for Le Cabal de Trois: "Vote for us and have good government, just like in China!"

The Libranos are making Dion walk the plank. M. Citoyen is going to take all the heat for this. Then they give him the final nudge with the pointy end. It's an offer he cannot refuse, his one and only chance to be PMSD. With any luck, he will find Joe Clark's mittens.

This new coalition should move to amend the Constitution in some way to cancel any future elections. This apparently is needed since we all voted the wrong way. We're not smart enough to choose who we want to lead us. Either that or we can allow the results of future elections but only if we vote Liberal. Or we could have a Cuba-style election, where only this cabal - under whatever name - can be the only party on the ballot. Problem solved.

One other explanation is that he might not think it is actually going to happen. Maybe the strategy here is is to force Harper into some drastic move, like prorogue Parliament. That would explain why we have not heard of any high profile defections; caucus does not believe that the confidence vote will ever actually take place.

Its a political plauge. All I see the Liberals doing is
screaming with bells ringing "Bring out our dead".

Where does young Justin stand? Where he's TOLD to stand, just like all good socialists.

Family tradition and respect for one's elders are conservative values.

Where does empty-headed dumb-ass, douche bag Trudeau stand... from what I've seen and heard from the spawn of Disco Dictator... It wouldn't matter what that retard has to say, he's a clueless twit. That would explain why Disco Dictator's spawn is up on his hind-legs giving Separatist Duceppe a standing ovation in the HOC... frightening, colossal stupidity.

"Where does young Justin stand"

Silence is consent. Trudeau Endorses the Bloc. Film at 11.

Who cares what Kim Justin-Il thinks? I wish he'd crawl back in the hole he came out of.

His dad was an unprincipled, pseudo-intellectual buffoon who did more damage to this country than any ten other Canadians you could name.
