The faint hint of chartreuse climbing Jack Layton’s cheeks is not a reflection.
Leader Jack Layton’s call for tough emissions standards for new vehicles has hit a speed bump, with Canada’s biggest auto union warning the move could cost the struggling auto sector “thousands of jobs.”
Canadian Auto Workers president Buzz Hargrove says he was “taken aback” by Layton’s comments and rebuked the federal leader for not consulting with union leaders before making his demand for the new standards.
“It would have been helpful for you to have first consulted with the CAW on this important question before making your statement,” Hargrove wrote in a letter to Layton released yesterday.
And in other Jack Layton news – reaching out to Canada’s leading online anti-semitic community to help get their message out to Canadians should be just what the doctored ordered.
Update;
This should give Crawls with Caffeine and company more to blog about now that the NDP and Liberals are also “illegally colluding with bloggers in violation of the Elections act”. There’s never enough tinfoil around when you need it.
And what have we here? Why, it’s a meeting of the “we can dish it out but not take it” club…
Dawg – I will direct you to the archives of any number of the progressive community’s postings during the Israel-Hezbollah war this summer.
Quite telling also about the “dish,but can’t take it” crowd..have tried to post on McClelland blog few times,and just like that Lib.Lap-dog,Cherniak..guess what?Can’t post anything “unfriendly”there either.Wonder how their little helpline for blogs is going??I sent in my suggestions,no response!
Sammy, come on over to my place then.
Kate: Please direct me to an anti-Semitic NDP posting. I’d be very interested. Of course, if you mean by that term, “critical of Israel,” then say so. The two are not the same.
I don’t understand about the “dishing it out,” either. I don’t recall calling anyone an anti-Semite, at least recently. Too much leftover Christmas cheer, Kate?
Whats with the instruction to clear the text box to prove you are human. Guess Dions dog kyoto has been posting there. Also, today on giggles, they are giving an address to send feedback re their program. They want this done by video, I think. Would they show the comments/videos of the posters on this site. I doubt it.
Holds true for everyone, multirec.
Dawg,
Anyone who criticized Israel for the simple act of defending themselves from an attack by a terrorist group whose sole purpose is the “Elimination Israel” is either an idiot or anti-Semitic. Take your pick but I think both fit your profile.
All I wanted to do over at My Blech,was drop a little “air freshner”..between the Robert,and Ti-Guy,the stench was unbearable,so quit going there.Always came away feeling dirty.
Thanks for the invite Dawg,I’ve never been to your”place”..but if it’s anything like My Blech,think I’ll pass!I used to go there once in a while,but somehow I always came away feeling dirty!Someone needs to drop an airfreshner over there..between King Robert,and Ti-Guy,it just feels like vermin crawling,and I can’t close the door fast enough.It is so hate-filled,dirty,and disgusting,why would anyone go there.
In other words, as I’d thought, “anti-Semitic” is just a smear. Thank you for confirming that.
Dawg go over to WS and read the Ontario teacher’s petition. I hope you have a strong stomach – I almost lost my supper. These nasty, small minded, elitist freaks are instructing future Canadian citizens. Think of the future.
If you want to do something for your country, help get these egregious monsters fired from teaching and fired from ever working in the public service until they get anger/hate management lessons.

“if you knew this to be the case you would have links so we could check it out for ourselves”
Links to something that doesn’t exist? That makes a load of sense… or something else.
Polution is down the big trouble is the polution of the minds of kids brainwashed by the eco-freaks and the HOT AIR comming from AL GORE and GREENPEACE
Seems that the public has done a very good job of costing the CAW ‘thousands of jobs’ by NOT buying their overpriced products!
Perhaps the CAW will blame the NDP for Ford’s decision to layoff (read TERMINATE) 38,000 workers?
Personally, I think when a person putting on a nut on an assembly line makes more than most small business owners there is something wrong with the picture?
It won’t matter in a few years because now China will be providing low cost, high value vehicles, along with the current South Korean models. At least the Russians are not exporting the Lada, eh? LOL
Thanks to Dr. Dawg for the link here!
If Jack Binlayton gets green enough to suggest electric and hybrid auto trends, Hargrove is liable to send a CAW wrecking crew to NDP headquarters. = TG
