The Liberals once again demonstrate their ability to set aside the national interest to serve the higher principles of party loyalty.

Another insight into the Liberal mind. Since it’s completely inconcievable to Liberals that anyone could put the interests of the country ahead of partisan politics, the only possible explanation for Khan working with Harper is that Khan has become one of THEM!!!!(Insert wide-eyed, thousand-mile, paranoid stare). Any failure to march lock-step with the Liberal party constitutes . . . BETRAYAL!!!! — wrecker!, saboteur!, spy!, counter-revolutionary agitator! (begin chewing carpet now). While libs purport to want consensus, nuance, peace, love, harmony, all of us getting along — okay, here it is. And look at the lib reaction — pathetic.
Khan is window dressing, but important window dressing.
He is an attempt to show a unified bipartisan front. He is a muslim voice in the decision making process. Perhaps he may even be able to shed a perspective or two that the folks already there did not consider.
On the political end of things, it further divides the Liberal caucus.
Maz2 . .hehehe … that’s hilarious.
Rewards for party loyalty work both ways.
Mais Oui – Ouellette was “ pushed out for political reasons”.
Because he was put in for political reasons.
Or – Ouellette was put in as Postmaster because he knows how to mail a letter??
Like Dingwall was put in charge of the Mint because he knows how to put money in the bag???
Pakistan is the hotbed of terrorists. It is an artificial country made out of
Pathan
Afgans
Khurds
and istan means “the place of”
despite its location it is really Middle East in ethnicity.
Khan may have more insight than we think.
The only envelopes Oullette ever handled were brown ones.
richfisher: It’s a pretty sure bet Mr. Alghabra would be in agreement with Mr. Osman’s statement concerning a victory for Islam and we should be concerned and vigilant when people make such statements. Alghabra may look as innocent as a fruit bat, which he resembles, but we just have to be smart enough to realize there could be something more sinister and insidious afoot, or there could hopefully, be nothing at all.Let’s hope it’s the latter.
I sent a letter of disgust to the federal liberal party. The only problem is that people are being killed while these guys(the liberals)
play games with the media. Sick bastards!
A poster announces that what a real leader does is to go out and find the best people for the job. Since Mr. Harper’s chief results to date have been to bring in a businessman that no body, not even the businessmen wanted ; create the impression that Canadian leadership is not just reactonary on climate but is sincerely stupid, even beyond the mental midget in Washington, sidelined Mr. Mckay to the point he has actually gained credibility, and so relentlessly insist that he is not to be swayed by the number of Canadians dead or wounded in Afganistan that even his closest acquaintences (he has no friends) now edge away from him……well maybe he might go find us a good Prime Minister. He could phone Dion.
garhane: Documentation, please, not just assertions.
I simply don’t believe you. Prove your points.
The latest dope/flatulence/speckulayshun/asphyxiation from the Socialist/hezbollah/Power Corp. Liberal Party of Toronto.
It’s McKenna or bust. …-
“Hill Times columnist Angelo Persichilli, for instance, reckons former New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna is winning the leadership battle – even though he’s not in it.
Perischilli points out that McKenna has until the end of September to enter the contest. (So do I, for all that goes.)
He says senior Liberals want to “create a vacuum” around the 11 existing candidates – “in an effort to asphyxiate them.”
Then McKenna can descend from the heavens as both a saviour and a coronation candidate.’

garhane, the last thing this Country needs is another crooked frog.
These bastards should be arrested for subversion and treason. Problem is you Canucks dont have the guts
I believe that one of the newspapers reported it was Khan who first approached the Prime Minister’s office with the offer to help out in the area of middle east attitudes and events.
If so, PMSH wasn’t the architect of this arrangement.
For those who question Mr. Khan’s motives, perhaps they can take some comfort from the time-worn phrase “keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer”.
Garhane: “Since Mr. Harper’s chief results to date have been to bring in a businessman that no body, not even the businessmen wanted”
Source, please? I assume you’re referring to Emerson. I’ve never heard that the industry didn’t want him. Is this a fiction of yours?
“create the impression that Canadian leadership is not just reactonary on climate but is sincerely stupid, even beyond the mental midget in Washington”
Yes, the global climate appears to be warming. However, the case that it is anthropogenic in cause is very much in doubt. The earth has gone through much wilder swings in climate *MILLIONS OF YEARS BEFORE MAN EXISTED*. Why we in Canada, a cold country relative to the rest of the world, should sacrifice our standards of living, while China continues to pour billions of tons of pollutants into the air, in the name of very dubious science is not at all evident to me.
“relentlessly insist that he is not to be swayed by the number of Canadians dead or wounded in Afganistan”
I don’t take the deaths of any member of our armed forces lightly; they have the courage to put their lives on the line for us, and I have the greatest respect for them. But only 24 Canadians have died in Afghanistan in four years. That’s one every two months. More Canadians died in the first 30 minutes of D-Day than have died in *FOUR YEARS* in Afghanistan. By any military standard, this war has been prosecuted with clinical precision. Are we to presume that if you had been Prime Minister in 1944, you would have withdrawn from WWII because the death toll was too high?
Now that we are entirely off topic – global warming is the symptom of the real, very large, elephant in room. Global warming may very likely be due to one inescapable fact: we are polluting the planet with — people. All of the “greenhouse gas” drivel will do nothing to reduce or prevent GW. The solution is a solution recognized in the 70s – ZPG zero Population Growth, or less. The planet is heating because we are reducing the absorptive green biomass, replacing it with reflective urban concrete. No solution as long as we continue to breed. … No solution.
Show us the way Skip, show us the way.
an idle thought…how many of the recently rescued tens of thousands of “canadians” were demonstrating in Montreal?
Khan dumps the Liberals. …-
OTTAWA — MP Wajid Khan is poised to temporarily give up his job as Liberal defence critic after accepting new duties as a special adviser on the Middle East to Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
“If I cannot justify being in a position that I can perform, then I must move out and let somebody else take over while I’m busy with this (new assignment),” the Mississauga Liberal MP told The Canadian Press late Thursday.
“That’s only fair.”
Khan refused to elaborate but said his office will issue a news release on Friday.
A Liberal colleague said Khan is planning to step aside as the party’s national defence critic.
The colleague also told CP that Khan will not attend the Liberals’ summer caucus retreat in Vancouver later this month, to allay concerns from some MPs that they won’t feel free to speak their minds if an adviser to the Conservative prime minister is in the room. …-
Joan Bryden – Canadian Press – August 10, 2006
The Libranos never cease to amaze.
Skip – perhaps you would be happier with global cooling.
small drops of temperature in the 14 century caused empires to fall, crop failures etc.
on a grander scheme and ice age could put everything north of about the 45th parallel (Black hills of south dakota are the terminal of the continent ice) back under a mile of ice.
humans are a result of global warming not the cause. the naked ape wouldnt have made it far from olduvai gorge. If you want a reduction in population step to the front of the queue.
Hey Skippy – population levels are falling almost everywhere, Moslem states being about the only exception (the USA maintains it growth largely through Hispanic contributions). Wikipedia has the data, as do various NGOs.
The portion of the planet covered with concrete is vanishingly small. Do the math.
Green biomass (i.e., forests) have now exceeded their 1850 levels in North America. Look it up.
I could spend my entire life correcting errors of fact. I rarely bother any more as the cost/benefit ratio has skyrocketed.
“These bastards should be arrested for subversion and treason. Problem is you Canucks dont have the guts”
And neither do you, Pissedoff, or so it would seem.
On the subject of casualties and death tolls:
Anyone who cannot accept that government policy might result in the death of the sailor, soldier, airman, police officer, firefighter, bailiff, parking attendant or dog catcher ordered to enforce it cannot seriously hold public office at any level.
how are that poster family “the Khadrs” staying out of the limelight. usually mama Khadr is full of opinion and venom to her chosen country.
You armchair biologists are priceless. Wikipedia? Now there’s a credible source. You really need to go outside and play with some real science.
