  2. Doesn’t the NDP look like a better choice for liberal-leaning Canadians? Especially in Ontario, and perphaps even in Montreal?
    Make your move Jack. The timing for you will never be better.

  3. NOOB – What the frack does that have to do with LIberal policy positions?
    As for Ignatieff “It’s altogether impossible. I’m not ruling anything out.”
    What the frack is that supposed to mean?

  4. Stephane —- Chrysler is doing its part in “grin ‘ouse gaz re duckt tions” expect more of the same.
    meanwhile, Ontario,- please send some of those machinists and welders west , we need them at the oilsands plants.
    Its “izzy money for those pipples “that dont want to work for a union.

  6. Is Iggy really the brains behind the outfit? Is he the Ghost leader?
    It looks very much like business as usual in the Librano Party, jumping over each other for top job.
    In a unified Party it’s not “I”, it’s “we”.
    What a frigging pack of imbeciles and they aspire to take over the running of this Land? God forbid!

  7. Heh. Iggy has said that HE has not decided yet. HIMSELF, don’t you know. The rightful king and lord of the Liberal party. Then when Iggy HIMSELF, one of Dion’s “big brains” that he bragged about decides the new Liberal puppet figurehead “so called” leader Dion will be TOLD what to do and say. Ah, Iggy – the brains behind the throne don’t you know. Question: are TWO socialist professors with no real world experience other than theory and regurgitation any better than one?

  8. shaken!
    You are absolutely bang on. If the dippers can’t see this one, they should set their hair on fire and put it out with a machete.

    Why should they wait till they figure out whether or not the can take advantage of this fiasco?
    Jim that would be a good thing for most dippers to do on any given day!

  11. I see that Garth Turner has new friends from the Liberal war room writing on his blog. Under Garth’s “A modest prediction” entry, see comment by “Tom on 02.15.07 10:55 am” – his url is http://www.liberal.ca
    So how many of his new found friends writing on his blog, are from the Liberal war room?

  12. How can they even talk about a no confidence motion until this bill passes the senate and gets royal accent. Somebody tell iggy what the procedures are. One mouthpiece said today we are maybe a year away from it even getting to the senate to work on, as any sooner would show they have been very partisan in their sitting on conservative bills. And, the government asks for royal accent. Some of those mps voting yesterday think it is law today. Even the cbc is doing a little backtracking and asking what kyoto will cost.

  14. Perhaps Harper should table a plan that bans the use of all cars, trucks, vans, etc., order the shutdown of Ontario Power, Sask Power and Nova Scotia Power, include emissions from Ontario Auto Mfg sector and force them to reduce the workforce by 50% and blame it on the opposition. This might make people realize that in order to meet these targets EVERYONE will suffer. The current consensus amongst Kyoto supporters is that everyone else should do something but then NIMBY sets in.
    Lets see an election platform from the Libs & Dippers run on that basis.

  16. The Libs are bluffing, just like they are on the anti-terror bill renewal. Harper has just signalled he will respect the Kyoto bill when it passes the Senate (who are going to watch it closely), mainly because it means nothing anyway.
    Actually I would love to see an election on this issue. Maybe the Opposition can paralyze parliament, forcing election call. Go for it Dion. Maybe they could show some real testicular fortitude and defeat the government on a confidence motion. Not gonna happen either, though it would be nice.

  17. mrtisaduffer . . . ask & you shall receive . . .
    OK one more time, this has been fun.
    Mister Speaker, I rise today to announce measures that my government must take to comply with Bill C288, otherwise known as the “Pablo Rodriguez Law of Unintended Consequences”.
    In order to comply with the Bill and Kyoto, it is necessary to take some drastic measures to either reduce emissions ort buy credits from other signatory nations of the Kyoto Protocol who do not need to reduce their emission but get to sell these credits.
    Canada got hosed at Kyoto. Jean Chretien’s Liberal government signed Canada to a treaty that means we must reduce our standard of living in order to comply. Bill 288 further obligates Canada to reduce its economy in order to comply and because of the way the Bill is worded, our Government must achieve the 2012 targets within 180 days of the Bill being granted Royal Ascent, so we must act NOW.
    I am instructing a number of government department and agencies to enact the following emergency measure so that we can comply with the will of Parliament, or at least the Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois parts of parliament.
    1. Immediate shutdown of all coal fired power plants in Canada. We realize that this will hit Ontario very hard – 1/3 of Ontario’s electricity is coal generated, but look on the bright side, the lack of power will also cause the shutdown of thousands of plants and factories, throwing hundreds of thousands out of work. While we are it, we’ll close down all the top ten listed below:
    Rank Company Name Province
    1 Ontario Power Generation On
    2 Transalta Utilities AB
    3 Sask Power SK
    4 Alberta Power Corp AB
    5 Nova Scotia Power Inc NS
    6 Syncrude Canada Ltd. AB
    7 Suncor Energy inc. Oil Sands AB
    8 EPCOR Generation Inc. AB
    9 Petro-Canada AB
    10 Dofasco Inc. On
    2. Immediate shutdown of the entire Petroleum industry across Canada – we will need to import our oil but we are only going to import oil from countries that will sell us Kyoto Credits.
    3. Immediately ban all wood burning fireplaces, charcoal and propane BBQ’s and summer campfires. All recreational vehicles and activities are deemed frivolous and will be banned. Sorry Bombardier, no more skidoos and water jet boats. We are investigating how to ban forest fires as well, but that has its challenges. No
    4. A 30 cent per liter “GhG Kyoto credit buying Tax. Based on recent data that we use about 45 Billion liters of gasoline every year. This new tax revenue should provide enough money to both buy the $10 billion in foreign credits we need annually and make up for the billions in lost income taxes the Federal and Provincial governments will not collect by the 35% contraction of our economy we need to achieve
    5. We ill not be able to afford generous EI support for all the laid off workers because the numbers could reach in the millions. Shutting down the oil sands alone will result in huge job losses in Alberta, but also in Quebec and Ontario, where tens of thousands of workers make the pipes, valves, machinery, trucks, tires, computers and other equipment that would have been purchased had we not put these actions in place to meet the requirements of the “Pablo Rodriguez Law of Unintended Consequences”.
    6. For the tens of thousands of workers in the Financial sector, we are aware that the mortgage and credit crisis these moves will cause will result in the devastation of your industry as well but we expect that the Barons of Bay street will be able to salvage a few jobs trading in the International Credit Trading Market, or as some have come to call it, the Kyoto Hot Air Credit Socialist Sucking Ponzi Scheme. Hopefully you will be one of the few out of the tens of thousands Financial Sector workers who will get one of these new jobs – you might even make megatonnes of money
    7. Since there will be a huge rise in the number of corporate and personal bankruptcies , our government will be enacting new legislation to simplify the process. Simply nail a sign to your property say “We quit” or for consumer debt, place your cut up credit and bank cards in an envelope. That’s all, no lawyers or courts needed
    8. We will also be reducing the size of the federal government payroll by at least 35% to meet the requirement to keep the budget balanced to the new and much lower levels of government funds.
    9. We will be reducing the Federal government transfer of dollars to the provinces to meet the new fiscal capabilities of Canada’s Federal government. We will leave it up to individual provinces to decide to close schools or hospitals or whatever. It’s a provincial responsibility
    Its not all bad news. Canada should be able to save a fortune in Immigration costs. We have a forecast from government experts that Canada will go to last place in the quest for skilled immigrant labour. Somehow they don’t want to come to a country with power shortages, no air conditioning, limited winter heating, no jobs and a devastated economy. Go figure. The USA and Australia will benefit form these immigrants and their skills,
    Mr. Speaker, let me close by thanking the Liberals, especially the mega green leader Citoyen Dion, the NDP, under the leadership of Jack “Talban” bin Layton, the Bloc Quebecois and their inspired of Gilles “Hairnet” Duceppe for voting for Bill C288. But especially all Canadians want to thank Liberal Pablo Rodriguez for devastating our economy, depressing our standard of living to upper third world status. As we huddle in the cold and swelter in the summer heat, as we stare at our old car we can’t afford to drive, as we fondly remember how hard it was to get out of bed on a Monday morning to go to the job we used to have, we can take pride in being the best-est, wonderful-est, the most moralist international boy scouts out to help the planet be saved.
    Thank you Mr. Speaker

  18. Yonder Iggy has a lean and hungry look…
    Think that’s got something to do with shakespeare, could be wrong. Anyway, people near the top are always looking to take that next step. When they look at citoyen dion fopping his away around, they must be calculating just where the knife would fit.

  19. Does this mean if I come back to Canader I’ll have to park my Texas Edition pick-me-up truck with the gun rack at the border and buy a green bicycle? what about my bass boat? Bye bye big Merc, hello oars. I really wish Celine’s dad would hurry up and screw up big time to force an election so you can get a real (majority) government in there.

  20. Umm…ladies and gentlemen – focus, please. Harper’s a “lex rex” kind of guy. I doubt he will (directly) defy what is now a law (OK, bad law, moral justification to break it, but there is a cost)
    Look for some really interesting stick-handling, and an election call in two months.

  21. What Mr. Ignatieff probably meant was: “What the Conservatives are proposing (such as not abiding by the act) is altogether impossible. I’m not ruling out any response from the Liberals.” I haven’t seen the broader context, so I don’t know for sure.
    Meanwhile, what’s really going on here is that Mr. Rodriguez’s bill is altogether impossible. The House of Commons has just voted in a binding act, the implementation of which is impossible. There is simply no way we Canadians can reduce our current CO2 output by almost 40% in five years, even if there was compelling reason, without such a quality-of-life penalty that no Canadian political operation could survive any such attempt.
    This morning at the end of a conference call with a few energy infrastructure engineers, I mentioned this most interesting behaviour of our elected representatives. Now, the folks I was talking to are much smarter than me, and they agreed: it’s not going to happen.
    (It’s like Premier Campbell’s assertion that British Columbia is going to prohibit flaring in the short term. We discussed that too. That’s not going to happen either.)
    So this is indeed an interesting situation. Our House of Commons has mandated that the Government achieve the impossible. How does our Government respond?

  23. I’m not sure how many will ever read this. But the ultimate culprit as to this government and its laws being so bad (and if you don’t know this, take my word for it, they are bad)is the people here themselves. Especially the older generations that had a syndrome of obedience under all circumstances. Even when they had personal values of their own that conflicted with the agenda of these “Liberals” (so called, they are anything but liberal in virtually any of their policies: economic authoritarianism, imposing a minority language from the top etc. things done in old world states as part of ethnic cleansing.)these tobacco chewing mental midgets violently maintain that the government is always right and one must obey in all things. If all had chosen more active resistance the situation would not have so deteriorated. Adieu.

  25. Neferi: You are bang on and you remind me of a couple Churchillisms. “Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others.” and “The best argument against democracy is to spend five minutes talking to the average voter.” (both paraphrased from memory)
    We get the government the majority of us deserve. Sometimes it sucks to be in the minority when you know everyone else is wrong. LOL. There need to be certain freedoms put into a constitution which leave nothing to interptetation that will prevent future governments (and the sheeple of said government) from robbing us (taxes) and stealing our property. Forking over half of our income to the government in taxes (GST, income tax, fuel tax, PST, municipal taxes, health care premiums, etc) is becoming closer and closer to serfdom.
    Damn. I got lured off topic again. Sorry.
    Dion is a stupid incompetent, impotent leader, who is being pushed to the side by the slightly more politically adept, (and less testosterone challenged) Ignatieff. Dion must be starting to sense that he is in way over his head and is probably wishing he was back in front of a classroom with a bunch of pimply faced kids eager to lap up some socialist meanderings.

  26. Oh ya, Campbell is really going to do a lot on the Environment in BC. Maybe he can start by stopping the shit from being swooshed into the Pacific with the tides as they do in Victoria. What a bunch of twit heads.
    Who the hell put together the bill Hair Boy Rodriquez presented? He doesn’t know his ass from his elbow on any given day.

  27. Who the hell put together the bill Hair Boy Rodriquez presented?
    who else but the Liberal Party of Canada’s brain trust.
    Its a liberal bill . . Rodriguez is the front piece for the scheme.

  28. I think the liberals believe that by the time this gets to the senate for consideration they will be the government. We can’t let them get away with I HAVE A PLAN, I want to know what that plan is.
    The majority of people know this bill is useless and impossible to enforce, but the libs ordered it anyway.
    I am not buying a 649 this week, and have impossible chances of winning, however, I order the government to declare me a winner of all the money.

  30. Jim in Calgary at February 15, 2007 7:01 PM
    ROFL!!!
    That “machete” line was the funniest thing I’ve read all week, hahaha. 😀
    Fred – wonderful post. Am in the process of emailing this to many, many lefties I know.
    Mary – loved your 649 analogy. However, it’d much easier for the feds to pay you off in 649 dough than to adopt Y2Kyoto while not bankrupting the country and putting tens of thousands out of work.
    Great thread.

    “Sorry Stephane, its just your back”
    Rae, Dhaliwal join terror law debate
    By JENNIFER DITCHBURN
    OTTAWA (CP) – Old battle lines within the Liberal party over Canada’s anti-terror obligations have been drawn again, with Bob Rae and former cabinet minister Herb Dhaliwal the latest to weigh in.
    At the core of the internal debate is a pair of Criminal Code provisions, one that allows police to arrest a person they suspect is about to engage in terrorist activity, and another that allows closed investigative hearings into possible or past terrorist attacks.
    The measures were brought in under the Liberal government in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, but not without a vigorous argument within caucus. Pressure from the left wing of the party resulted in sunset clauses being attached to the measures.
    Now that they’re set to expire by March 1, Leader Stephane Dion has declared they should be allowed to disappear from the books. That position is likely to be adopted by the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois, who were opposed to the measures from their inception.
    But a growing number of senior Liberals have said the measures should be renewed in the interest of public safety, including former ministers such as Anne McLellan and John Manley who were behind the legislation in the first place.
    Now Rae, who came in third in December’s leadership race, says he has concerns about letting the provisions die.
    Although neither of the measures have been used yet by authorities, Rae points out that Air India investigators have had plans in place to trigger the investigative hearings as part of their continuing work. B.C.’s solicitor general said the same earlier this week.
    “The question of Air India and similar issues need to be in people’s minds as they reflect on what to do, what are the appropriate ways of dealing with this question,” said Rae, who led a government review into the Air India case. Rae has said previously that he supports Canada’s anti-terror legislation.
    Dhaliwal, who broke ranks with McLellan and others at the time the Anti-Terror Act was introduced, sided with Dion on allowing the measures to die. He said they were drafted in haste within a subcommittee of cabinet, an overreaction to the events in the United States – a claim that rankles McLellan and Manley.
    “We need to make sure that if it’s not necessary, we don’t take away from the civil liberties of Canadians,” Dhaliwal said in an interview, pointing to the Maher Arar case.
    “If it’s never been used, maybe we don’t need to have it on the books. Of course the police want every tool they want to get, but should we give them every tool that they want … just in case they may need it?”
    The splits are familiar ground for the Liberals, who have had spirited debates amongst themselves over public safety, civil liberties, and U.S-Canada relations.

  34. Iggy thinks he is now in charge of the starship “Canada”. He has visions of himself as Jean-Luc, “Make it so!” Problem is he’s been a liberal so long that he thinks the smoke and mirrors act really works.

  35. I see exactly what the strategy is on this Kyoto bullcrap; Let the liberals destroy the econony cause they forced this into action. And then get rid of Kyoto cause we didn’t agree with it to begin with when we get the majority.
    I was boggled by Harper’s flip flop on the issues at first, but now I get it. Let the Liberals bring forth destructive policies and watch the populous remember what liberals are about.
    You can’t fight stupid; just let them destroy themselves.

  36. The Libs will have the same kind of difficulty in deposing Dion that the Canadian Alliance had with dumping Day. Dion just has to say that his mandate comes from the Liberal Party members (well, delegates really), and only THEY can force him out (via a non-confidence vote at the next party convention, similar to what the CA did with Day). This is a powerful, almost irrefutable argument, and reinforced by the LPC Constitution, I’m sure. Dion seems like just the kind of stubborn, proud, argumentative kind of guy to dig in his heels.

  37. I like Dion! He’s an imbecile and perfectly suited to lead the liberal party. Ousting the dumbass is premature; Let him to continue to outline the nature of liberals. Dion is a TRUE liberal and I’m proud to have him here to help destroy the Grits!

  38. What a great post Fred. Like mhb, I wish I would have had the insight to write something like that. I’m making copies to pass around.
    I think that the Liberanos are looking for $$$. They do not want Canada to MEET the targets, they want us to pay for carbon credits so they can get the old ‘oil for food’ pipeline up and operational again. Mo tse Stong is in place in China, the bank in French citizen’s home country is likely still open….carbon credits are a lot easier to manage than barrels of oil!
    I believe that that there never was a plan to reduce Co2, it was a hoax cooked up to dupe Canadians (and in some places that is just too easy) out of their $$ and their independence. We would be paying the Liberano’s paypal, Mo tse Strong right now if the Liberanos had won the last election. All Canadians would be losers – all elitist world government people haters would be getting very rich and powerful.
    Thank the good Lord for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative government and the Canadian people who had the good sense to vote Conservative in the last election.

    Thank you Mr. Speaker
    Posted on another blog but I agree….
    Immediate shutdown of all industry by result of liberal bill and wait for the populous to cry.
    then only allow power production unless Kyoto is recinded: MY words…”Brilliant!” I can survive on groundhogs and roadkill but liberals can’t; too stupid to fend for themselves.

  40. A bit off topic, but does anyone notice how the MSM, the CBC in particular, seems to be running an “I told you the Liberals weren’t involved” theme as it relates to the RCMP Income Trsust investigation?
    Point No. 1: The investigation that was called yielded results and therefore was justified. Had there been no investigation and had the Liberals been re-elected, would they, had they been re-elected, have ordered one carried out? And if not — and I think it’s safe to say they wouldn’t have ordered one — isn’t it reasonable to assume that, because no charges would be laid, Serge would still be in operation?
    Point No. 2: Was it unreasonable for the Conservatives to assume — as the CBC seems to suggest through it’s coverage on the issue — that, in light of the Sponsorship Scandal allegations and, prrof through the Gomery report having been released several weeks earlier, that the Liberals would have, by extension of logic, been involved in the Income Trust leak as well?
    I’m fascinated by the MSM’s perspective on this.
    When it comes to accusations against the conservatives of harbouring a so-called “hidden agenda”, it seems to be “they’re guilty until proven innocent,” whereas when it comes to accusations of Liberal corruption, too often we hear lines like, “Don’t judge an entire party for the actions of a few.
    One has to wonder how they can deny bias when this clear glass-half-full vs glass-half-empty technizue is so often applied on various issues.

  41. @ Dale…
    The Conservative government cannot control the media.; IE the CBC because of preappointed liberal managers, therefore all messages have a liberal slant. Fireing liberals needs justification beyond reasonable sence. Harper needs more time.

  44. Vitruvius, good post. If the Liberals have forced passage of a law which forces the government to attempt something impossible, then is not one of the following true: (1) the Liberals know it is impossible, and have forced passage of it anyway, or (2) the Liberals do not know it is impossible.
    In case (1), we have political dice played with our quality of life, for the sake of their power. It’s bald and plainly evident. How sinister!
    In case (2), we have a Liberal party demonstrating a level of ignorance which any thinking person should realize disqualifies them from the file.
    Either way, the Liberals have the canon pointed in the wrong direction.

  45. Thanks for the kudo, Shaken. The situation is indeed ludicrous. The only way I can see it is that the Liberals hope this will help them defeat the government (that’s what Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition does for a living), after which they think they can get away with stonewalling the matter for another dozen or more years like they have in the past.
    Now, I’m no big fan of the sanctity of government, yet I remain rather surprised by the audacity of this experiment by the opposition. While it is entirely possible that I may still be overestimating the intelligence of the Canadian electorate, I just don’t see how the opposition plans to make this all work out to their advantage in the future.

  46. What possible reason could the Liberal fools have for wanting to mess with the Anti Terror Bill unless they want to pander for votes among some of the people they bloody well admitted to this Country???
    Those of us who are true Canadians welcome the extra protection of this Bill and see the need for retaining it. To scrap it or water it down will send a welcome message to terrorists that we are a safe haven.
    The list of stupid Opposition moves is getting longer by the day and that list will lead to a majority government for Conservatives.
    Steffi and his Handlers are sure mounting lots of ammunition to defeat themselves.
    With help from people like Mark Holland,Garth Turner and new Pit Bull pup Scott Brison, how long can it take?

  47. I agree that the likely course of action for PMSH and the Conservatives is to create a plan of action in line with Fred’s posting (not quite so outlandish in tone, but the same general impact). This plan must NOT be submitted ONLY to parliament, however…this plan MUST be submitted to parliament AND to each and every household as part of the governments “information outreach plan” (as non-partisan in tone as possible) to educate consumers how we are going to reduce our carbon footprint BECAUSE OF THE ILL-CONCEIVED LIBERAL/NDP/BLOC motion.
    If we rely on ONLY submitting to parliament, the MSM will spin spin spin this to minimize the benefit to the Conservatives. The Conservatives MUST GO DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS…just like they did with the “attack” ads.
    With voters seeing the unvarnished truth with their own eyes, they will see that their Liberal “emperors” wear no clothes.
    PMSH, are you listening?

  48. Now i know why Liberals are soft on Crime:
    Martha hall Findlay stated on Mike Duffy Live that the Liberals are against stiffer sentences because of the Enormous Cost Involved, She believes there should be more rehabilition programs.
    Now thats nice to know, I will remember that when a thug has a gun in my face while he is robbing my store, & i will inform the thug he will get rehabilitaed first with No Fear of Jail Time.

  49. This Kyoto enforcement bill is a priceless bit of political toxin that will come back to haunt the Libs as they near election.
    Catch 22: If the Libs enforce Kyoto as signed it will destroy Canada’s economy and finish them as a federal party once and for all…if they recing and back peddal on Kyoto because of its potential damage they will pay the price as shallow political oppotunists who care not for Canada’s environment or its economy…after all they signed onto it and then did nothing to meet the targets leaving us in default and at the brink of either pointlessly paying China and Russia guily money while they pollute with impugnity, or destroying our economy to catch up to tardets.
    Lose-lose for the Libs and NOW I can see no one happier than Harper to run a federal campaign on “kyoto”.
    The Libs better hope they get swiftly to the polls, lose, then ditch Dion before his stench of mindless hypocricy really gets into voter’s nostrils…then go to the polls in 18 months.
    I still don’t give them even odds of returning with the same amount of opposition seats…they are going to lose to the greens in 914
