Ottawa Citizen Editorial Board Interview With Stephane Dion

One wonders why Liblogs aren’t leading the charge to bring the words of their new leader to a broader audience. So, you’ll have to go to BBS for the link and reporter reaction. (mp3 – 10 megs)
Update – The reviews continue to pour in;

the war in Afghanistan was caused by: “A LACK OF WATER”
Yup,
the Taliban weren’t fomenting the most virulent brand of Islamic extremism, thereby aligning themselves with Bin Ladin for the purpose of worldwide Jihad,
they were just thirsty.

  1. Johnboy said: “Chirac is now wanting a STRONG international enforcement body to police countries that do not comply (I just saw McGuinty echoing that plea on QP). The UN is now making its move to take control of global policy making. So far Canada, USA, and Australia are the last refuges of rational thought (but only barely so).”
    >>The UN is just an instrument of a self-serving elite who legislate from it’s authority without the hassle of mandate or election competition or accountability….for a long time they (UN) have wanted the right to “tax” member nations….Kyoto is a perfectly planned instrument of Regulation and taxation…it was set up to give a few unelected bureaucratic elites the power to tax and regulate global energy use…think of the power that wields….think of the potential to profit on these powers….Moe Strong has!
    When I hear these sick globalist apologists ( actually they are global kleptocracy cheerleaders) like Chirac, Dolton Mc Squinty and Strong et al positing we all surrender our individual, provincial and national sovereignty and boat-loads of cash to an unelected elite world councils of “wise men”…Orwellian alarm bells go off.
    Keep this in mind as Dion continues to mumble his way through his Kyoto sales pitch by failing to mention this is what the Protocol part of the agreement demands.
    The potential for corruption in an unelected unaccountable energy taxing and regulating authority is so vast that to even entertain such an idea reveals one to be either incredibly stupid or prone to corruption oneself…but this is ultimately where Kyoto phase 2 will take us if we allow phase 1 to destroy provincial sovereignty…and phase 3 is a doozey…in that stage your government loses control of national energy sovereignty to a global overseer bureaucracy.
    Let us remind Messers. Dion, Chirac, Strong et el that:
    A) Our constitution makes energy resources, their regulating and taxation, the sole exclusive jurisdiction of the provinces
    B) the only thing that MAY excuse the Feds in to regulate provincial resources is their POGG power…but they need a local or national “crisis” that the local government is unequipped to deal with to do so…and then they are only allowed into provincial jurisdiction “temporarily” until peace order is restored and the crisis are neutralized. POGG was intended as a safe guard against constitutional separation of powers keeping the feds from providing help to restore order in the event of a “crisis” like natural disasters or civil insurrection in a province which it could not handle.
    c) Using Kyoto climate doomsday porn as the local “crisis” pretext to allow a POGG federal intrusion in to control Alberta’s oil resource is a real stretch…no constitutionally legitimate justice on the SCC would allow Ottawa such an incursion into the province’s affairs on such a flimsy hysterical “crisis”….let alone have the feds acting as the agent of a foreign unelected governing body claiming jurisdiction over provincial oil resources. And if you attack Alberta’s oil patch the other oil/gas producing provinces will support their challenge.
    The Energy provinces ( and that includes BS, Sask, Nfld, NS besides Alberta now) will of necessity all strike a constitutional challenge to protect their energy/resource sovereignty.
    NOW…I’ll tell you why these McGuinty/Chirac/Dion statements about some nebulous global utopian government regulating provincial constitutional jurisdiction scares me…because it indicates these mealy-mouthed subversive global statists feel they will suffer no political consequence from pronouncing such an obviously treasonous statement ( yes treasonous because McGuinty and Dion took an oath to uphold the constitution and the constitution clearly states energy resource regulation is the sovereign jurisdiction of Canada’s provinces, it does not belong to the Feds or some non Canadian unelected Kyoto regulatory commission….as an elected crown officer he cannot relegate, abandon or give away constitutional jurisdictions even if he wants to)…we need another global level of energy taxation and government to add to the 3 which are bankrupting us now, like a recreational spinal tap.
    So, to continue; the scary thing is the public musings about arbitrary delegation of sovereign constitutional jurisdictions means they feel comfortable that the time is right to pull off a lot of unconstitutional jurisdictional tax raiding and dissolving of both Canadian and provincial sovereignty…in Dolton MsAsswipe’s case to some nebulous crypto commie global utopian authority.
    Man, these Kyoto climate doom cult people are creepy! But the degenerate statist politicians that want to ride in on the back of the climate hysteria are genuinely frightening

  2. All very interesting but I’m looking for the next “litmus paper test” to garner whether Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and the Maritimes will buy into another federal Liberal government. It would be nice to observe an eastern by-election prior to the next general election.
    Its obvious that the environment will be the strategic horse the Liberals will be riding in the next election. My worry is that eastern voters may just hope on that band wagen. The worst would be a Liberal minority influenced by the Bloc and the NDP. In that case, all bets are off on what the future holds except for an NEP2.
    I’ve tried to explain to people the impact the NEP had on people’s lives (similar to above posts), unfortunately you get glazed looks from eastern transplants who didn’t live through it. The Alberta economy IS in for another rough ride.

  3. WL Mackenzie Redux :
    You out did yourself on both posts bravo!!
    Except for certain circumstances your story is like mine & a couple of million others that where the collateral damage by these Socialist mobsters.
    This is an outrage, worse still the Media silence. Its more than ominious. I find it chockingly tomblike. An ill omen of more night horrors by lefties to come.
    We should be prepareed by writing all our MLA’s & Mp’s to put them on the same page . Thanks for the posts. (O:}

  4. I’m surprised when Dion was asked about what he was doing for the environment, he didn’t say ” I did very much, I write a large cheque to my pen pal in Russia, everyone should be required to do this much”

  5. I suspect dion will get laryingitis (sp) 5 minutes before the debate and Chretain will step in to replace him. If he gets sick during the day, the debate should go on without him, with a cardboard cutout in his place. I would prefer that reporters or cbc or ctv or global puppets not be the questioners. I nominate Kate to be moderator and questioner.

  6. If I was Harper during the debate I would give my allotted time to Dionsky and let him ramble ,that should seal the deal.

    I would like to see Don Cherry on that panel as well.

  8. Dr. Dawg – yes, there most certainly is a reality outside of words – words are only a secondary reference to that reality. Whether or not I say a word, the atom doesn’t give a damn. It will still exist, the cell will still exist, the organism, the ecological biome – they will all still exist. This and that human will still exist, outside of words. The fact that our species is based around the referential symbolization of this reality, doesn’t nullify that reality.
    I’ll take you on on this, ET. An “atom” is just a model, ditto an “organism” or a “biome.” Kant was no postmodernist, but didn’t he say that we cannot know the Ding an sich? So we use vocabulary that seems to work until a better vocabulary comes along. Once we had “phlogiston” and the “ether.” They didn’t have an independent reality.

    -I am beginning to think that the Liberal focus on the Environment is a cover for the Real Agenda, which is Alberta’s money.-
    I am afraid there is a whole lot more to The Real Agenda. The left has exploited the love that Canadians and Americans have for their countries great beauty and resources and have very effectively undermined many of the foundations of our culture. This is not only a political war over money. It is a cultural war about power. Mr. Dion never mentions the fact that oil is a strategic commodity. Conservatives are under attack on all fronts and to conserve means to defend. It is a big weakness, as how can one ever win, when there is no offence? Does anyone else remember the Dictator Castros’ recent crocodile tears for the salmon in B.C.?
    ‘Take care of the salmon,’ Castro advises during Vancouver stopover
    Sleepy Cuban leader forgets to call PM

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada — Amidst expressing his hopes to avoid war in Iraq, vowing to continue resisting the United States trade embargo against his country and lamenting that hosting Olympic games has become the purview of the privileged, Fidel Castro advised Canadians to take care of their fish.
    Mr. Castro was in Vancouver yesterday for a short stopover on his way home to Havana from an 11-day trade mission to Asia. He took a brief respite at the Delta Vancouver Airport Inn while the three planes his 175-member delegation travelled on were refuelled.
    Before departing, a genial Mr. Castro, bundled up in a black wool overcoat and scarf, stopped for the press, who had compliantly crushed themselves against a wall behind a velvet rope stretched out to make a lane in front of the elevators.
    He entertained reporters for about 10 minutes, and in departing advised them “to take care of your city.
    “And take care of the salmon,” Mr. Castro said in parting. “You have the very few natural salmon that still remain in the world. It has been a pleasure, thank you so much for being here.”
    The Cuban leader said he did mean to have a few words with Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, but began to work as soon as he arrived and later fell asleep. “It is possible I can talk to him before I go. I’ll try to because we really had agreed upon talking,” Mr. Castro said. “Thank you for reminding me.”
    When asked about Iraq, Mr. Castro said while “99 people out of 100” believe war is inevitable there is “still the remotest possibility” a U.S. attack can be avoided. He said that even within the countries that support the U.S., such as Britain and Spain, the people are opposed to war.
    Mr. Castro also noted the economic costs of war. “Even the United States economy is being harmed by the threat of war,” he said. “The political price of a war under such circumstances would be too high for any country to pay.
    “I believe it would be convenient for even the U.S. to avoid such a war, let’s say, in a way that’s acceptable to all parties involved.”

  10. Were any muslims at the wedding of two pigs in China today to celebrate the YEAR OF THE PIG.
    Wonder if it will be featured on lmotp.
    In the past year we have had, on TV, clips of ssm, a woman and a whale, and now 2 pigs. What next.
    Isn’t Nunavit way up north, where the icebergs are in danger along with the polar bears. Seems they are having a severe blizzard now.
    Is mother nature sending all the envirowackos and dionistas a message-Don’t fool with mother nature.
