I don't know about you but I have grown exceedingly tired and bored refuting the ongoing Liberal-NDP talking point that "Harper only got 37% of the vote so he has no legitimacy. 63% of Canadians are in full support of the Coalition."

To one such recent troll on my blog, I asked whether he was more mathematically or historically challenged. Then I invited him to take a close look at the Historical Research I did. And I specifically added a new analysis point:

Those who believe that a government only has legitimacy if it gets the majority of the votes [ie. 50% + 1] thus must believe that only 6 of Canada's 40 governments had any legitimacy.

A scenarios that could occur:

Harper prorogues the house or postpones Opposition days for a length of time.

Harper holds a televised "address to the nation" and explains that, while distasteful, the coup attempt is constitutional. However:

- since the economy is so bad, this is no time for coalition governments...too much critical time would be lost...markets are already affected by the turmoil
- neither the NDP nor Liberals ran on a platform of raising taxes or posting deficits, and have consistently denounced doing so in the interim...now they want to go into huge deficit spending
- although 63% of the population voted for a party other than the Conservatives, EXACTLY ZERO PERCENT voted for a coalition
- in the interim, the government will hold a binding referendum on the issue of governance by a coalition...based on the results, in March, Canada will either keep the status quo, go to election or let the coalition government run

Put all your cards on the table and let the people of Canada see your hand. We'll decide in a democratic manner as to what happens to our government using ALL of the FACTS...bypassing the MSM spin.

Want to know what organic chickens are fed? If it's soy meal from China -- a cheap source of protein -- it may also contain melamine.

That's what happened with 300 tons of soy meal being fed to organic chicken in western France. Authorities discovered the soy meal contained an astonishing 50 times the maximum limit of melamine: 116mg per kg of soy meal.

This cheap Chinese soy meal was delivered to 127 "organic" chicken farms in France. Nobody yet knows how many organic chicken farms in the U.S., Canada, U.K. or Australia might also be feeding their chickens toxic levels of melamine.

I don't think the constitution says a coalition is legal or illegal. In fact, it says nothing about coalitions that I can find. I'd appreciate someone informing me of where such an entity is defined in the constitution.

I repeat: this coalition is illegal because it is undemocratic. We, the people, did not vote for a coalition; we voted, each of us in our separate ways, for one party - CPC, Liberal, NDP, Bloc, Marxist-Leninist, Communist, Libertarian, Green, whatever. We did not give the elected members the right to form a coalition.

Furthermore, the Liberal-NDP agreement sets up Canada as a colony of Quebec. NO MOTION in the House would be valid without the approval of the Bloc.
Think.
The Bloc is a party whose members are confined to ONE province and which is elected only by the residents of that province. This means that they are functionally out of the control of over 80% of the Canadian electorate.
Comparison?
Think about the US Revolution, which began against the taxes imposed by Britain on the USA, which had NO VOTE, NO SAY in the matter.

This is exactly the same thing. The Liberals-NDP are turning Canada into a colony of Quebec. And, a colony without electoral representation.

Oh, and they intend to tax, and tax we Canadians. Without representation.

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

I say - we should and must go to an election. This election, in January, would be actually base on a vote for freedom - or - a vote to lose that freedom and be a colony.

The Liberals-NDP-Bloc have ALREADY signed a coalition agreement! They have already publicly declared that they reject freedom and are proposing to turn Canada into a colony of Quebec.

They can't go into an election now, and say that there was no agreement. They've signed it. It's public.

The election will have to be on this question. They'll get creamed.

So, I'm guessing that this cabal, this evil cabal, will do anything and everything to prevent an election in January. Anything.

I agree ET, an election it would have to be.
It would be an incredibly bad precedent for PM Harper, or any PM, to resign over such a flimsy excuse like the Coalition of Liars and Thieves are using.

What's next?
The PM has lost confidence of the House because we don't like the way he parts his hair?

The beauty of another election is that it would destroy the Crooked Liberal Party du Canada financially for years to come. You don't even have to have more than 3 neurons to realize that the Liberals desperately need to get back into power to fill their Liberal party pockets with govt money.
And Dion would be a 2 time loser in less than 6 months. What a great bonus that would be.
That would be $300 million well spent on democracy.

We want an election!
We want an election!
We want an election!

"'Chemical Ali' sentenced to death in Iraq

By SAMEER N. YACOUB – 48 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (AP) — A special Iraqi court sentenced Saddam Hussein's notorious cousin, "Chemical Ali" Hassan al-Majid, to death Tuesday after convicting him of crimes against humanity for his part in crushing the 1991 Shiite uprising in southern Iraq.

Al-Majid already faces death by hanging after being convicted last year for his role in the killing of tens of thousands of Kurds in a crackdown in the late 1980s.

Former Baath party official Abdul-Ghani Abdul-Ghafur also received a death sentence at the end of the trial, which began in August 2007. He shouted, "Down with the Persian-U.S. occupation!" as the sentence was read.

"Shut up, you dirty Baathist," snapped chief judge Mohammed Oreibi al-Khalifa, referring to Saddam's Baath party.

The trial was one of five convened against former leaders of Saddam's regime, which was ousted in the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. Two are still ongoing.

In the first trial, Saddam was convicted of crimes in the killing of more than 140 Shiites after an assassination attempt against him in Dujail."

"Carleton revives Shinerama

The Carleton University Students' Association unanimously passed a motion last night to retain its annual Shinerama fundraiser for cystic fibrosis for at least this year.

At a special council meeting, the association tried to undo the scorn heaped upon it in recent days by formally apologizing for dropping the popular fundraiser.

As part of its original decision to drop Shinerama, the association included a motion brought forward by student representative Donnie Northrup that the disease "has been recently revealed to only affect white people, and primarily men."

That in fact is wrong.

Northrup personally apologized for the flap, which received global attention."

"The marriage of evil and stupidity at Carleton University

By David WarrenNovember 30, 2008

Last Monday, the student council of Carleton University attracted much attention to their university and to the city of Ottawa -- around Canada and the world -- with their decision to cancel their annual Shinerama fundraising efforts on behalf of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Their argument was that this disease afflicts "white people and primarily men." They would rather choose a charity that is more "inclusive."

Little I can add to the outcry against this. Some things are so simple, we do not need a university degree to understand them. One of them is that, unlike prostate cancer, which afflicts men exclusively, or AIDS, which primarily afflicts men (and fighting the latter is not more politically correct than the former because it is more inclusive) -- cystic fibrosis afflicts men and women fairly equally. Proportionally more "Caucasians" may suffer, but only in the widest sense of a term which subscribes the off-white inhabitants of North Africa, the Middle East, and India. Many of "Negroid" and "Mongoloid" race also suffer cystic fibrosis, if fewer proportionally. So the disease is reasonably inclusive of humans.

To be apagogical about this, one might argue that the disease is exclusive, since like every other, only a minority of people have it. This would at least be self-consistent.

But without further inquiry or thought, the Carleton University Students Association bought into a proposition from one of its members, a certain Donnie Northup, that was both evil and quite superlatively ignorant."

The bodies of the victims showed clear signs of preexecution torture. The worst tortured, they said, were the Jewish victims. As one doctor put it, "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on the [first day of the assault].

Globe and Mail Update

December 2, 2008 at 12:55 PM EST

Federal government workers earn 17.3 per cent more than people in the private sector who are in similar positions, a Canadian survey showed Tuesday.

The gap widens even further when perks like shorter workweeks are included, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business study said. When pensions and other benefits are added to calculations, the difference widens to 41.7 per cent between the federal public sector and the private sector.

The study comes as many firms in the private sector are grappling with cost cuts and the prospect of layoffs as economic conditions deteriorate. The federal government, meantime, has proposed curbs on public sector wages.

The CFIB, which represents small and medium-sized businesses, said the gap makes it tough for private firms to compete for staff.

“We are concerned costs will only continue to be passed on to taxpayers and make it increasingly more difficult for smaller businesses to compete with the public sector in finding qualified staff,” said CFIB president Catherine Swift in a release.

Bret Stephens, Media Narratives Feed Terrorist Fantasies

For purposes of self-justification, Azam Amir Kasab, the only terrorist taken alive in last week's Mumbai massacre, offered that the murder of Jews in the city's Chabad House was undertaken to avenge Israeli atrocities on Palestinians. Two other terrorists cited instances of anti-Muslim Hindu violence as the answer to the question, "Why are you doing this to us?" before mowing down 14 unarmed people at the Oberoi Hotel. And if dead terrorists could talk, we would surely hear Abu Ghraib mentioned as among their reasons for singling out U.S. and British hostages.

One suspects the terrorists spent far too much time listening to the BBC World Service...

Deficits forcing wave of cuts in Ontario hospitals
Growing demand for services has put half of province's facilities into the red so far this fiscal year, health coalition reports
KAREN HOWLETT

December 2, 2008

ORONTO -- One in every two hospitals in Ontario has been in the red this year as growing demand for health-care services has left them trying to cope with too many patients and not enough funds, says a report to be released today.

The budget shortfalls are forcing dozens of hospitals to close beds, cut patient services and lay off staff in an effort to balance their books by the end of the 2008-09 fiscal year March 31, according to the report by the Ontario Health Coalition. The document says hospitals are in the throes of the biggest restructuring since the mid-1990s, when the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris slashed funding for health care and education as part of its Common Sense Revolution.

Turning the news that the separatist Bloc Québécois is part of a coalition propping up the federal machine along with the Liberal and New Democrats into something positive, Marois said the immediate consequence of the agreement is the Conservative formula for equalization payments is dead in the water.

Instead of a $75-million increase in transfer payments, which Marois had denounced as too little to help the province through the economic crisis, Quebec now stands to bag $1 billion in 2009-2010 because the old formula will apply."
