The Enemy Is Everywhere

I’m beginning to suspect the Conservatives have recruited small children…

– and crafty senior citizens …

“You stop telling people to not vote Conservative, because they are going to form the next government and beat out the Liberals. Don’t do that anymore.”

… to infiltrate Liberal and NDP campaign events as photo-op boobytraps.

  1. I saw that elderly lady – she was fantastic. I’m not sure Jack Layton liked her much.
    And the kids were all dolls. Heck, even Paul Martin liked them, I’m sure.
    lol – He is a grandfather.

  2. LMAO, that little old lady reminded me of my late Granny scolding her little poodle for making a mess on the rug. The little kids, well it’s been my experience that little ones can smell insincerity. It appears that little fella got a big whiff!! LOL

  4. Everyone focuses on “The Scream” kid, but the most eloquent face by far is the girl bottom center, whose ancestors are obviously reaching across time to instruct her to not listen to any bullshit excessively propelled from anywhere south of the 40th.
    What a face. “Sorry, I just don’t buy it, and I don’t even know why yet.”

    Kate, that BIG SPENDING ANNOUNCEMENT ™ BUcky made on Great Lakes cleanups.
    I wonder if any of that money is tagged to go towards the closed down CSL shipyard in Collingwood.

    Sediment from only a small, localized portion of the harbour was found to be contaminated, mainly due to historical use of the harbour as a center for the repair and construction of Great Lakes vessels.

    September 12, 1986 – CSL closes its 43-acre shipbuilding yard in Collingwood, Ontario wiping out 800 jobs and $25 million in local payrolls.
    http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Canada_Steamship_Lines_Inc.
    On August 9, 1983 citing federal government interference in the shipping industry, Martin stated: “then… they are going to come in with some grand and glorious package that will give the government control of the industry because they don’t understand private enterprise.”
    By the mid-1980s, CSL’s only remaining shipyard (Collingwood) was undergoing financial difficulties and was closed on September 12, 1986 with the loss of 800 jobs. At the same time, CSL Group Inc.’s expansion outside of Canada was well underway. In November, 1988 President and CEO Paul Martin was elected as a Member of Parliament and stepped aside from directing the day-to-day operations of the company.

    Currently, CSL is completing remediation work on the soil, which should be completed by early spring, said Houghton
    ..A government grant for environmental cleanup would sure come in handy there now wouldn’t?

  6. The CTV link comes up & then goes blank on me – is this a coincidence or does CTV hate Firefox?

  7. Book to be released Monday, 09 January, 2006, just BEFORE the debate in Montreal. Is there an English translator in the house? >>
    Liberals on the defensive
    New book investigates shadowy federalist group; Pettigrew named
    Pierre Pettigrew is denying any link to ‘Option Canada,’ the secretive federalist organization currently under police investigation.

    The controversy, however, only fuelled further interest in the book. Originally scheduled to be released on Thursday, Lester and Philpot have moved the launch up to tomorrow – meaning the book will be out just hours before the English-language leadership debate in Montreal.
    The book is largely based on documents Lester acquired following a tip about a mysterious box placed near a Dumpster at the back of a suburban mall, which contained some of Option Canada’s records.
    Sources who have seen the material yesterday described the material as dynamite. Option Canada’s records were never found by federal auditors and Quebec’s chief electoral officer in their quests to probe the organization, but the box is said to contain copies of actual bills, cheques and invoices for work in the lead-up to the referendum. The book reproduces the records.
    One person who has seen Lester’s documents is Quebec’s chief electoral officer at the time, Pierre F. Cote. On Friday, he said that had such documentation come his way in his investigation of Option Canada, he would not have hit a brick wall.
    Quebec’s current chief electoral officer, Marcel Blanchet, has also seen the box of documents, announcing Friday that he is opening a new investigation into Option Canada.
    “It’s (in journalism terms) pretty hard to beat,” Philpot said.
    While it is generally believed some of Option Canada’s
    $4.8 million funded the famous Place du Canada rally, Lester said Friday the book will show such was not the case.>>>

  8. And only in Canada in the middle of this election campaign could a Canadian columnist take up space with a column titled “The ‘fin de regime,'” complete with references to an “out-of-touch” leader (“An out-of-touch leader presides over a… morass of influence peddling and bribery”), corruption (“All parties that stay in power too long become deeply corrupt. Wise voters need to kick out incumbents regularly. Longevity in office ensures bad government…”), references to the authorities “monitoring domestic as well as international telecommunications” and playing with the timing of elections (“What next — cancelling next fall’s elections…”),and over-the-top comparisons to the former USSR (“Meanwhile, a scandal bursts right out of the last days of the corrupt Soviet Union…”), with the “fin du regime” smelling up the air “just as it did over the last days of decaying Soviet oligarchy,”
    and it turns out he’s NOT writing about domestic politics.

    Harper paying heed to public’s concerns, says Rondi Adamson
    Jan. 8, 2006. 01:00 AM
    That Stephen Harper “will be the leader to beat in English and in French in next week’s televised election debates,” as Chantal H�bert wrote in the Star on Friday, is nearly extraordinary. Had anyone told the Conservative leader in July 2004, that he might find himself in this plum position during his next election campaign, he might have busted his string tie in disbelief.
    Positive poll numbers for the Conservative party cannot be explained away simply because of the Liberal party’s blunders, their gaffe-riddled campaign and history of corruption � though certainly, some of this has helped Harper’s cause.>>

  10. The way Martin’s camapaign has been plagued by scandal leaks, if I was him I’d look to see if the phones at Martin HQ are tapped. Maybe the Mounties offered him immunity from prosecution if he wears a body wire in caucus meetings 😉

  11. Maybe this is payback time. The RCMP, fed up with repeated castration over 12 years, an unwillingness to fill the 1000 positions now empty; the closure of border crossings; the limp-wristed sentences handed out, even with criminal activity; ?political interference, such as Shawinigate, that makes them look like neutered pawns of the government; what better way to reinvigorate the Red Surge than to watch their castrators twist helplessly as they hang them out to dry?

  12. I went Friday, as one can, to my Elections Canada riding office to vote. One can do this seven days per week.
    I had with me the voting card sent to my home with my name and address. I brought my passport to confirm, with picture, my identity.
    But one cannot vote with a Canadian passport as proof of identity in advance voting. Because the address in the passport is hand-written in, even though it is the same as on the voter card.
    Consider. One is trying to vote illegally. One steals a voter card with the exact same name as one’s own. Then one fills in the address details–previously left blank–on one’s passport to match those on the voter card. Or one has moved to another riding since receiving a legitimate card and is trying to vote illegally in the old riding. Odds?
    On the other hand, I was eventually allowed to vote after presenting a driver’s licence with address printed on the card. This may be in some sense evidence of place of residence. But it is not evidence of Canadian citizenship.
    But the driver’s licence allows one to vote. The passport does not. Go figure.

  13. I should have noted I was told the voting card and driver’s licence alone were enough to vote.

    Sniffy the cartoon rat is in hiding. He apparently can’t bear the thought of questions of Valerigate (cancergate) or the income trusts scandal. Sniffy is hiding in his rat hole waiting for a safe time to come out and sniff the cheeze. Poor sniffy !!!!! Who would’ve thought !!!!!!

  16. I posted my comment regarding this on the wrong spot.. Well, when I was watching this classy lady give Jack a stern talking too, all I could do is laugh. Politicians should remember, the most unpreditible things to work with are animals, small children and the elderly! Animals go on intinct, children don’t know any better what is expected of them and the elder well they have put in their time and if the opportunity arrises, they will speak their mind.

  17. Yes Jack, you darn well listen. As my dear old mom used to say,(god rest her soul) I have been young but you haven’t been old!! The old have a way of cutting through the crappola Jack

  18. Another scandal it is. Just watched the “The Corporation”. As we know a corporation is to make money, and if it can pass on “cost” or have someone else pay the bill that it is responsible for, or for whatever it wants, it will. And guess what, CSL creates a mess, we taxpayers have to clean up after them.

  19. Hey !!
    Those aren’t regular school kids .
    That’s Craig Olivers clone (asexual reproduction naturally) at sycophant,.. er uh liberal interview school.
    He can’t blink either ,.. poor little gaffer!
