I wonder if Tim Naumetz plans to revisit his Harper=Bush hit piece of May 22;
The SUV surfaced two weeks ago behind the armoured limousine, and a lead car, that ferries Harper about town. The motorcade takes Harper even from his Langevin Building office across Wellington Street to his Centre Block space on Parliament Hill.
The drivers are armed RCMP officers, but the addition of the SUV makes the entire motorcade look like a Secret Service operation.
Bush has had black SUVs in his motorcade for several years.
The 320-horsepower V8 Chevrolet Tahoe now embedded in Harper’s parade is made in the U.S. GM Canada truck plants assemble Silverado pickups.
As has been said of the SUVs in Bush’s procession, the new black wheels add an air of intimidation to Harper’s motorcade.
“It looks like something Darth Vader would be driving,” says Martin. “We’ve got this gas-guzzling behemoth touring around with the prime minister. It looks tough, it looks quasi-military. Is that the kind of image the prime minister wants to project?”
Well, all things considered….
Indeed!
http://tinyurl.com/fxryj
“Harper has been aware of threats against him for some time. The RCMP had already beefed up his motorcade with reinforced SUVs several weeks ago.”
Where would it get Harper to look like a Boy Scout. We are at war; deal with it!
The NDP might also want to rethink this line of questioning:
Hon. Jack Layton (Toronto—Danforth, NDP): … Yesterday the Prime Minister was lecturing us about how pollution was not the same as climate change. Really? Is that so? Could the Prime Minister stand in his place and explain the difference between climate change and pollution and how his new fleet of SUVs helps deal with either one of them?
Right Hon. Stephen Harper (Prime Minister, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I can explain the difference. The climate change agenda is principally about carbon dioxide, which is not a pollutant. The government is also concerned with pollutants such as nitrous oxides, sulphur dioxides and other organic compounds. There are differences and that is the difference.
In terms of the particular security arrangements the RCMP uses, that is its decision, not mine.
If this really is an NDP budget proposal, people will be wondering why this government voted for it and why the NDP voted against it.
Hansard – May 30, 2006
Image, it’s all about image with these lib/left jerks. As long as it looks good, sounds good and they feel good it’s OK. I guess the Prime Minister should ride around in a piss pot volvo or the peoples car, van version.
In their delirious fever pitch to make anything that Harper does/says appear Bush-like, lefties will overlook any type of common-sense reasoning. Oh, but that’s because there was no common-sense in government for the last 12 years and I guess that’s what they’re used to.
Can you imagine the quivering and the dithering Paul Martin would be doing right now if he was the one on the beheading hit list? He would probably hold a news conference wearing a veil.
Hey the military got their Nyala personnel carriers; why shouldn’t PMSH have a beefed up SUV?
Wouldn’t want the cut throats to have a run at him.
Welcome to “Canadian Survivor: Hans Island”
I like it, Stephen Harper isn’t scary; Prime Minister Stephen Harper DEFIES SCARY!!
Jack would ride in what….? Black Pinto’s, Black Chevette’s or Black Helicopters?
Teenage bravado. One of the guys put it up on the internet and guess who intercepts. Everything they wrote will be used against them. The prosecutors will throw everything against the wall just to see what sticks. If this is just internet bravado I don’t think it sticks.
Good for Harper. Here is a man that understands what being a leader is about.
This is a serious period in our history & he ought to be projecting this . No strike that. Has to be a symbol of our resolve to end this world menace. After all. I think of black ,as a somber color reminding us of better men & women than us, dying for us, to yammer away in the freedom we do.
Paul martin would no doubt be driving one of those hybrid peddle pusher cars. You know the ones, where midgets feel cluster phobia? That or a bright cherry red Hummer, denoting his mob affiliation. The Liberano clan.
Steve, you mean like the teenage bravado types in the ME? or the London subway bombings? or the ones in Spain? or the ones in….. Oh the h3ll with it. You wouldn’t recognize a real threat if it jumped up and bit you in the ass.
The mob drives cherry red Hummers now????
Egads. I thought they still drove those huge black caddies. You know – like the one Martin made his last official appearance in, before turning over the reigns to SH.
I guess even the mob doesn’t want to be associated with the Libs any more, so they changed their vehicles to red Hummers. 😉
how could terrorists ever cut off harpers head when he has it stuck so far up bush’s ass?
Here’s an article on the international connections to the Toronto terrorists.
from: timesonline.co.uk
An e-mail trail has led to the arrest of suspects across the world who were recruited and then schooled in bombmaking
The article includes this:
“The arrest of 17 suspects, many of them teenagers, picked up in the suburbs of Toronto at the weekend is said to be the latest stage in dismantling a terrorist nexus that, worryingly, has its links with one of the world’s most wanted men — Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq.”
Douglas said: “Jack would ride in what….? Black Pinto’s, Black Chevette’s or Black Helicopters?”
Jim replies: Hey! I used to own a Black Pinto. (I now own a blue one).
It was a 1972 Pinto Station Wagon that I had painted black. It also had a set of F60/14″ tires on the back, a header and a 4 barrel carb, and used to eat 289 Ford Galaxies.
The thought of Waco Jacko riding in a black Pinto just gives me the willies….
A non-issue.
We live in the world and it is indeed a small world after all.
But it’s not the small world that fits the insular notions and nostrums too many Canadians.
The Prime Minister has to be properly protected according to the assessed level of threat.
To do otherwise would be gross negligence on the part of his security minders.
Stephen Harper is a human being.
George Bush is a human being.
Therefore, liberal logic concludes the following:
Harper = Bush

steve d,
You should know, oh master of non sticking comments. Please accept my best wishes in your time of need. Shocks to one’s world view are difficult to cope with. Denial is often the first defence of one’s psyche.
Please re-consider my advice to take a month off and read the Koran. You should also visit this site daily. It might give you a clue.

Scroll down and read the list of world wide daily attacks and ask yourself whether you really believe that none of this would be happening if George Bush hadn’t liberated 50 million Muslims.
“Jack would ride in what….? Black Pinto’s, Black Chevette’s or Black Helicopters?”
I don’t think so. Probably pink, with rainbow decals.
Is this the same Tim Naumetz that PMSH was trying to take a question from when Julie VD swooped in on her broomstick and hijacked his attempt? What an ingrate. I dont’ see any reason why PMSH should ever again entertain a question from this timbit.
Don’t think the rest of the world is taking a look at Canada’a heretofore slacker nanny state. If PMSH is acting serious good for him. Oh, and take a look at this cartoon on the front page in the Des Moines:

MPs defiant in face of terror threat
Ottawa Citizen – 1 hour ago
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s motorcade leaves Parliament Hill yesterday. A Montreal newspaper suggested yesterday that the decision to transport Mr. Harper around Ottawa in a motorcade including black SUVs was made to accommodate RCMP sharpshooters. …
Parliament an easy target, expert warns Globe and Mail
Hill at high risk: Mounties Ottawa Sun
if bravado equals buying machine guns and enough to bomb making materials to murder tens of thousands of innocent people, then I think we have to conclude that our little bitty lefty pal here at SDA, steve d, is 100% correct.
Just bravado, steve d is sooooooo much smarter than we are and we should he should bend over so we can all kiss his politically correct and open minded ass.
Work with me here folks, I am trying to help him in his period of political anxiety . . . its gotta be very hard on the moonbats to have a real government in Ottawa doing real things for real people. So unlike the national constipational legacy of Trudeaupia.
Go PMSH, go . . . . just keep pissing off the moonbats and your popularity with real Canadians will increase .
“Does anyone else find it suspicious that the lawyer is the one blabbing all this stuff? Normally they would be demanding a publication ban”
I was wondering the same thing.

Well I guess the reason for the SUV in the motorcade is clearly evident now eh? Pat Martin of the NDP should be embarrassed today. He raised the issue in Question Period the other day in an effort to embarrass the prime minister. Typical socialists! However, it is evident of a more serious issue and that is Mr. Harper, despite having a minority government, is having success in his policies and his appeal with the public. This is causing all kinds of concern within the opposition parties and they will grasp any straw, real or imagined, to distract Canadians from the fact that we have a real government instituting policies and making decisions for the benefit of all Canadians.
Well, I would much rather see PMSH being protected with Black SUV’s then our tax dollars disappearing in to the Liberal’s piggy banks. I think that this terrorist threat against Parliment Hill really rattled Lib’s and NDP. Did anyone notice the fact that the Speaker of the House called three times regarding the budget bill and no one from either party got up to speak in opposition. Bill passed unchallenged. Lib’s and NDP asleep at the wheel. Thank goodness that we have PMSH as a leader or who really knows if this plot would have been uncovered. Pat Martin is such a tool!
Rutherford got in the parting shot yesterday about this. Pat Martin will want them for himself and his lil’ dippers now. Or maybe they’ll be too scared to leave their offices and their newly installed panic buttons.
Loved Harper’s comment about his caucus. What a guy.
Calm down, everyone, there are plans to change the Darth Vader, black SUV:
http://tinyurl.com/jgjgo
Re: Lawyer blabbing. Yes it is odd. Was he complaing, belittling or bragging? I haven’t seen it on the news to see the context, how it was asked etc. Very odd.
I still think Harper should strap that flying wing to his back and fly himself around town.
Maybe a SUV Act should be tabled in the Legislature or it could be an ammendment to the Accountability Act.
In either case this is the dumbest post I’ve ever seen at SDA.
Who really cares but a bunch of out of work whiners!
Is the opposition so desperate to diss Harper they have to ridicule his choice of vehcle?
This isn’t journalism, it’s little kids in a sandbox mouthing off.
BTW, remember when St. Jean Chretien used the military budget to purchase a new jet for the Liberal politicians to romp around in? Bet it cost substantially more than an SUV.
Tim Naumetz’confession, “I’m not a journalist”, merely confirms what we already knew. Most “journalists” in Canada act more like the neighbourhood gossip.
Mr. Harper, if you want to drive around in an Abrams, that’s okay by me.
Re: Yappy Lawyer. Steve Janke has started a thread on this wondering about poisoning the jury pool.
I’m still annoyed over Harper having a Chevy Tahoe in his motorcade. I think he should have Hummers instead. The big bastards that the U.S. Military uses. With machine gun turrets.
That would be cool.
I recently saw a Hummer limo. It had enough seats for 27.
The only thing about Hummer’s is they might get confused with drug dealers. That seems to be the vechicle of choice in BC!
Er, does no one but me remember that one Pierre Elliott Trudeau was the first Canadian PM who needed an *armoured* limo to drive around in? And, if I recall correctly, that was also in direct response to some home-grown terrorist threats…
…well i guess he could ride around in a East German Tribant…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant
They made fun of his vest as I remember – made him look fat. Which got their little minds off onto his diet. Maybe it wasn’t a fashion statement after all. Especially now that we know the SUV motorcade isn’t just hero-worship Bushalike.
May God preserve me from the media through this – my stomach isn’t strong enough. I’ll only be able to keep on top of it thru this site, and boy there are some sickening posters here here.
But can count on you, Kate, to give me the high points of the story. Thanks again.
No, Mr. Martin, Canadians wanted more PMs who lie, cheat, steal as their PM. Oh, wait! No, they threw you out, didn’t they?
Yutz!
As a father, my heart really goes out to his children. I can’t imagine the terror they are feeling. Should they be scared? After all, it was only ‘teenage bravado’. Some people around here really need to give their heads a shake.
Good intentions, feelings, and a hand up to people that have no respect for human life sends the message of “Me first please!”. Wake the @#$% up!

Trabants…he he true story! After the wall came down in th eastern part of Germany ,you could see hundreds of those little pieces of crap laying abandoned by the roadside by their owners.
Brand new Trabants were extremely dangerous as the
bodies were made of fibreglass,and it was never cured..you could actually pass out from the off gassed fumes of the catalyst! many accidents from this!
What a piece of crap..perfect for the comrades of the NDP..
yo, Harper iz definitely scoring some points with his pimp ride yo….only problem is dat he should be in da SUV ride, not in front. for him to roll on anything less than 23″ rims (we call em MJs) would give in to the playa hatin lefties.
what the cat needz is some badass videos to prove they islamic haterz that he ain’t scared to pop a cap in they headz if they thinkin to lay down some terrizm on our canuck turf.
the SUV be playin a major-ass role in da video, plus he be wise to get on Pimp My Ride with Flex, an win some of dat young vote.
Harper Big UP yo!
What?? I had to live with Jean Chretien and Paul Martin for 12 years without beheading either of those idiots?
Now you’re going to take the guy I voted for and behead him? I thought the Conservatives of Canada have been rather patient and polite in waiting for their turn to run the Country.
So.. F-OFF and behead someone else! I like my Harper with all of his faculties!

The psychobabble has begun. The rehabilitation of these would be murders & terrorists is already being undertaken by the shaman of our times. Court room Psychiatrists.
I was sickened by the belittling of what they attempted to do.
Now we have the appeasers & Dhimmis trying to recreate this as “boy’s will be boy’s” .The revisionism has begun. These people who support these individual actions are certifiable themselves. Beyond a doubt.
I wonder when there families are blown to hell. Will they still try to justify, or make small the actions of these cold blooded fanatics?
Its not enough to paint a fairy tale about this community & how these upper-class folks are being persecuted. Now we have the very people who plotted this being succored by those who care nothing for human life, & all for dogma.
The same mentality that would see patients die before there time. Just so Social liberalisms ideology remains pure.
The lawyer volunteered all the info, but continued to wipe his forehead and eyes. Is that because he bears a striking resemblance to our PM, and is afraid he will be beheaded in error. Maybe that is why he spilled the beans. Makes as much sense of some posters. I still say, ban mosques as young men praying in mosques turns them into terrorists which causes death. Comon Dalton, substitute the word dogs or smokers.
kursk…yeah, seen enough of those in Hungary and Romania when I was there. Funniest sounding thing coming down the road, reminds me of that open air tourist bus in “have the gods gone mad”….could walk faster than it went.
Also the Scoda. Took one out for test drive and it couldn’t make it up a hill more then 60KM…
Brought it right back.
A “man” and a “youth”?
They would not happen to be Muslim Islamist terrorists?
No. A “man” “was identified only as a resident” “terrorist”.
The “youth” is a Greenlandian terrorist, pobably?
British Arrests May Be Tied to Canada Plot

DEWSBURY, England
Police in Britain arrested a 21-year-old man and a 16-year-old youth as terrorist suspects, and were conducting searches at three locations, authorities said Wednesday.
The man, who was identified only as a resident of Bradford, northern England, was arrested Tuesday night at Manchester airport, West Yorkshire Police said. Officers searched three houses in Bradford in connection with the arrest, police said.
The police later said detectives also had arrested a 16-year-old in Dewsbury, near Bradford, as part of the same investigation.
Police refused to comment on reports by the British Broadcasting Corp. that the arrests were linked to an alleged terrorist plot in Canada. Seventeen people were arrested there .

Hold on, thar. Wait a min.
Was Guv-Loo telling you that you segregated the Muslim Islamist terrorists? You made them “isolated”? It’s your fault, non-native residents of Ontario… ya filthy….
Rosie knows the difference: Isolation, segregation is self-imposed by yourself, your peers, your family, your mosque/Imam, your theocractic religion; to wit, Islam. …

ROSIE DIMANNO
Excerpt:
It is facile and intellectually dishonest to blame the West for all that ails many Muslim nations. The residue of colonialism — Afghanistan, for one, was never colonized — is not what’s created autocratic regimes in very nearly all those countries, or impoverished their people.
Yet perpetrators of global jihad insist on waging a phony war and taking it to the West. No longer is it even necessary to groom a murderous infantry of homicide and suicide bombers by luring them first to terrorist training grounds in failed states and lawless regions along the Pakistan border or the Sudan. The Internet brings recruiters right into the bedrooms of Toronto teenagers, including teens living in nice suburban houses.
Blame is self-defeating and, frankly, impossible to quantify. But it surely doesn’t promote reasonableness, nor respect among communities, to lead lives of social isolation, with its implied moral superiority, as appears to have been the case with many of the accused and their families.
So far, that seems the only common denominator, from what little we know of these individuals, apart from a devoutness of faith. They may not be guilty of terrorism-related crimes — that will be determined by our courts — but they were, from all indications, secluded in a kind of cultural quarantine. And, apparently, they found kinship in like-minded — or wrong-minded — zealots.
Perhaps such ideological ciphers as those young men who bombed the London transit system last July are predisposed to recruitment by jihadist predators, in their vulnerability of character and certainty of extremist views.
Maybe, as with so many who embrace an absolutist crusade — one that promises a closeness to God by way of horrific violence — they are little more than hapless victims of brainwashing, guided missiles of lethality.
But just as it takes a village to raise a child, it can take the absence of a village — segregation from a diverse community — to raise a terrorist. …http://www.paulding.net/bin/url.cgi/13306.8
