Overheard On Board A Liberal Campaign Plane

First Liberal: What’s this?
Second Liberal: We’re chipping in, sir.
First Liberal: Oh. Clearly.
Second Liberal: For jet fuel, sir.
First Liberal: I suppose the cowboy hat is Herle’s idea of a joke.

  1. Maybe they should do a bottle drive. You know, get people to donate all their empty beer bottles. It would definitely help towards Kyoto. That would just leave the empty microwave popcorn bags…

  2. Too bad the plane didn’t burn BS, they seem to have an inexaustable supply of that. The “board” could man the scoop shovels. Er in a way I guess the have been.

  3. What the heck is this “Allegations of Sabotage” BS headline?!!
    There is a radio station recording, a Liberal campaignadmission, and a self-serving qualified Liberal apology that a phone call was placed from Liberal candidate Chris Axworthy’s campaign headquarters in Saskatoon-Wanuskewin falsely accusing a sitting Conservative MP (and former pastor), Maurice Vellacott of sexual assault. Shouldn’t the headline read:
    “Rape Allegation Falls Flat”
    or
    “False Sex Assault Charge Made from Liberal Campaign HQ”
    or
    “Liberal Candidate Denies Campaign Worker Made Malicious Sex Abuse Claim”
    or
    “Conservative MP Falsely Accused of Sex Assault from Liberal Candidate’s Phone”
    or
    “Conservative MP Wrongly Accused of Rape by Sask Lib Campaign”
    or
    “Former Pastor Accused Falsely of Rape”
    or
    “Liberal Candidate Promises to Assist Rape Claim Investigation”
    or
    “Desperate Rape Smear Backfires”

  4. Just ran across this…
    Seeing as how the left likes to bring up old news for fear and smear..
    Gilles Duceppe is a former Marxist-Leninist
    And this is who Buzz wants Liberals to vote for?
    “Gilles Duceppe, head of the Block qu�b�cois, is a former Marxist-Leninist. Member of the working Communist Party in the years 1970, it is appointed to the recipients at the hospital Royal Victoria, in Montreal. At the beginning of the years 1980, whereas the direction of the PCO is the subject of critical sharp, Gilles Duceppe leaves the party and joined the rows of the CSN, for which he becomes organizer then trade-union negotiator in the sector of hotel trade.”
    Sorry about the poor translation.. best my computer could do.. in effect he spent 10 yrs immersed in Marxist-Leninist-Socialist philosophy.

  5. On his show earlier tonite, CTV’s Mike Duffy brought up the case of the false claim of sexual assault, and some of the circumstances surrounding it.
    John Duffy, Liberal strategist/hack, and one of Mike Duffy’s guests on that same show, responded back to mike Duffy that the accusing call was made from the shopping mall where the Liberal campaign office is located and that therefore anyone could have placed that call!!!
    Yikes! What devious little spinmiesters these lieberals are.

  6. I just heard Martin on CTV news at some rally say “We are down to the short strokes…”
    I feel so dirty now.

  7. I work with single mothers and his plan for daycare is really worry too me and them. Will the private sector fill the gap and how much will it cost to send their children to daycare? I worked on a tax form today for one of the women and I can�t see how the lowering of the GST will help her at all. She barely makes enough to get a little over the minimum back in GST rebates, her savings doesn�t even cover the cost of bus fare. Speaking of bus fares since she doesn�t pay any income tax how does she get the credit? Seems to me that a lot goes to the upper middle income bracket and the amount goes down ending at nothing for the ones that need help the most. Good thing that he�s putting more police on the streets as the crime wave will grow because the poor have nowhere to turn and women as always feel the pinch the most. Do we have a clear picture of what Harper’s plans are to make sure we don�t run a deficit?

  8. Aren’t we synical, Sue? It seems to me that anything Harper and the Conservatives do would be more than what is being done right now. Do we have a crime wave now?
    I invite you and your socialist friends to Saskatchewan. Come enjoy the results of long term socialist rule. Good luck finding a well paying job, and I hope you like the longest health care waiting lists in Canada.
    I can guarantee you that it won’t be long be for that right-wing conservative province of Alberta starts to look good.
    And by the way, Harper wants to put criminals in jail, not honest, hard working farmers who happen to own a .22 or want to sell THEIR wheat for the best price.

  9. Has it occured to you, Sue, that Paul Martin has been promising to deliver daycare spaces in each of the last FOUR elections and, except for empty campaign promises, hasn’t delivered ONE daycare space ever?
    Has it occured to you that Paul Martin promised to abolish the GST and called it “an unfair and regressive tax on living”… but didn’t?
    Has it occured to you that the ONLY Federal tax that people who pay zero income tax pay… is the GST… and the ONLY way to use tax cuts to assist every Canadian including the poorest of the poor is to cut the GST?
    Has it occured to you… that Paul Martin’s promises and commitments are pure B.S. and that even Stephen Harper’s critics respect the man?

  10. Latest poll results (if you believe such things) show Liberals back in the lead in Ontario: 40Libs-33Cons.
    Attack ads seem to be working, as does Martin’s latest bash-Harper magical mystery tour.
    Can anyone explain to me the naivety of the province of Ontario? Do they not remember how many Billions of dollars of taxpayers are gone forever because of criminality amongst the Liberals of this country?
    Or, are the pollsters full of it? Source is the Strategic Counsel.

  11. Sue, I can sympathize with wot ur saying, the situation. BUT, to vote for Martin and Liberals will only get more of what we have been shoveled for the last 12 yrs. With a projected surplus of
    $13,000,000,000 for this yr, and $9,000,000,000 for last yr and so on… if he was going to do something about it, don’t you think he would have already? The liberals don’t give a rat’s *ss! they won’t do it unless it would win the election.
    It’s called “appealing to the female” vote. No knock on women, it’s just carefully thought out strategy. Appeal to women by knowing what their concerns AND fears are. Once you know what makes a person or group of persons tick, they can be played like a deck of cards… usually. As for the woman you helped, I’ll tell you the same advice my accountant gave me:”get a home business”
    It doesn’t cost anything to have a proprietorship
    and she can deduct a percentage of her rent, phone, hydro, heat, and claim mileage on her car if it applies. With a GST number she can get her GST back on things applying to her business, but that is a bit of bother tho as they want you to collect their taxes for them. I hope this might have helped some.

  12. Reader tip
    At looks like Buzz isn’t the only labour leader endorsing the Bloc these days.
    http://www.ufcw.ca/cgi-bin/full_story.cgi?story_id=1664&from_page=6
    “The opportunity exists to elect more New Democrats across Canada, and Bloc Quebecois members in Quebec”…
    …”Electing NDP and BQ members will institute a balance of power in the next Parliament, whether the Liberals or Tories wind up at the minority helm”..
    Michael J. Fraser
    National Director, UFCW Canada”
    Is this some kind of “vast socialist-left wing conspiracy” to break up the country?

  13. Sue
    If Paul Martin hadn’t turned Employment Insurance into a slush fund for paying down the deficit, maybe some of those poor single mothers would be able to get some job training and get a better job.

  14. At the end of the last election campaign, as Liberal attacks became ever more intense, Stephen Harper seemed to fall silent. Perhaps he didn’t wish to dignify them with a response. Unfortunately, those negative characterizations of Harper and his party were the last impressions Canadians had before the election. Last night, Stephen’s appearance on Peter Mansbridge was very strong; it reflected a man who is thoughtful and serious. But I think that he missed a number of opportunities to respond more vigorously to the increasingly desperate and pathetic Liberal (and NDP and Bloc) attacks.

  15. OT, sorry — just reading in the Vancouver Sun editorial page — “Stephen Harper is our choice to clean up Ottawa”. I think they have finally conceded. And an added bonus, NO anti Harper/CPC letters today (which trust me usually outnumber the pro ones).

  16. If Paul Martin gets elected how long will it be before the Liberal appointed Judges say it is legal for me to have many wives.
    I believe that it is against my right to be limited to only one wife.

  17. on the many wives issue. the other half has no problem with that so long as she can have as many hubands. lol

  18. Brilliant quote (not mine) regarding the lib.campaign; it refers to it as the “Weekend at Bernie’s”.
    Sums it up perfectly.

  19. Weekend at Paulies’… yes, I do see a connection there. After the 24th, if we see the “new” leader of the opposition propped up in his chair and wearing sunglasses then we will know.

  20. It is time for Harper to state
    “If you want more of the status quo, more theft, fear, scandal and impropriety vote liberal.
    If you want to see justice in Canada and the criminals who admittdly stole millions of your tax dollars in jail vote CPC.
    It’s one or the other!”

  21. Sue, I have a feeling that you are a “poverty pimp” and are just fearmongering in your need to keep the gravy train rolling your way. Under Harpers plan, the poor will get the money directly instead of you skimming the money off the top for your own beer and popcorn fund.
