“Never trust a government that doesn’t trust its own citizens with guns.”
“For Harper to appeal to Ontario voters, he would have to move to the left on many issues that would cause a revolt in his western base, namely, the environment and health-care.”
Wrong. Harper is already on the left in terms of health care and the environment – nobody cares about these issues in reality.
Harper needs to set the agenda and not fight the next election on the opposition’s issues. Income tax cuts, income splitting, mortgage interest deductibility, GST abolition, cutting EI, CPP premiums or other payroll taxes to boost employment in Ontario. Heck, even a proposed labour mobility agreement w/ the US might do it.
We only need about 40-45% in Ontario to carry about 60% of the seats. That means capturing fiscally conservative voters who may be socially liberal as the ‘true’ conservative base is only about 30-35%.
Harper needs to keep building up a record as a tax-cutter and freeze program spending. The next election may not come until 2009 so he should keep moving on economic issues.
The Self-Loathing Multiculturalist…
The prediction is based mainly on the observation that Harper’s political successes seem to come in increments.
Is it possible the Conservatives pick up a couple points in Quebec, at the expense of the Liberals? Throw in another 3% split amongst Ontario, B.C. and the Maritimes, and it adds up to 41%, assuming they hold their votes from 2006.
Maybe Canadians are beginning to understand that Harper isn’t evil. Harper IS politically savvy, sure seems so. Harper went to school on Joe Clark’s minority… I believe he’s learned what he needs to know.
Not that Harper and Clark equate to one another, God no! Joe Clark, the Chretien Liberals… sorry, I cannot tell the difference between them, despite Clark being an Albertan. But Harper is smart enough to preserve his government, buying time, until things turn in his favour; he won’t let himself get stiffed by running as though he already has a majority.
Now, if voters who leaned towards the Harper Conservatives in January ’06 because of “ideological reasons” could just comprehend what Stephen Harper seems to understand…
Alby is a crackpot moron. Let him spout his ridiculous statements and ignore him. He won’t be happy until all the means of production are controlled by the government, and seems to think our NORAD responsibilities constitutes the U.S. needing our aid.
He’s a bozo, folks. An idealogue who refers to his former colleagues in the military as “brainwashed” and never wastes a chance to slam our closest allies.

Oh right, now what was that for anyway? Was it saying that Carol Skelton was an uneducated puppet of Flaherty and Harper or was it because I defended myself in kind (though I noticed that they didn’t get banned) against the slander of a couple of your followers? Or maybe you ban me because we don’t agree on pretty much any issue and you know that I’m right on many accounts, which is something your ego can’t handle.
You don’t like the fact that I speak out against what is wrong with the military. Judging buy what other people write here you and they don’t understand why a veteran would do that. The military has its problems, just like any organization and they stem primarily from leadership. It seems the public for some reason has this opinion that those in the military are somehow supposed to be supermen. Sorry they are just human with human faults and open to criticism.
I’m sure if we looked hard enough Kate we would find some common ground, but frankly I’m not willing to try. I prefer to simply disagree with you because it’s my opinion that you and those like you are bad for this country. You are too divisive and you spread hatred and half-truths.
What I’ve stated above is opinion. My opinion and judging by the number of posts you have deleted simply based on opinion, you can’t handle freedom of thought and freedom of expression.

Ice blocks British solo sailor
From correspondents in Moscow
A BRITISH yachtsman attempting the first solo Arctic sea passage across northern Russia was examining his options after heavier than expected ice blocked his route, his manager said.
Adrian Flanagan is discussing with Russian authorities the possibility of using a nuclear-powered icebreaker to lift his boat out of the water and carry it round the most icebound stretch of Russia’s Northern Sea Route.
“Basically it just means we’re putting plan B into operation so if the worst comes to the worst and there isn’t a break in the weather, we’ve got a plan,” Louise Flanagan, his manager and ex-wife said from Britain. […]
He had hoped that his 11m reinforced yacht would be able to get all the way to Europe due to lighter ice conditions observed in recent years, thought to be a result of global warming. …- http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22359472-5005961,00.html

Besides the arctic ice, Wrong Way Flanagan now appears to have another problem. Remember those polar bears that Global Warming activists were warning us were endangered? Well, it now seems that the tables have been turned and those endangered polar bears are now endangering Flanagan:
Ostrov Peschanyy is a bleak, featureless island that is little more than a sand spit rising a few metres above sea level. It’s a resting place for walrus and Western Arctic Marine Operations HQ have advised Adrian to keep a careful watch for polar bears hunting walrus there.
So as Wrong Way Flanagan, who has turned himself into a Global Laughingstock on the altar of Global Warming, remains trapped in the arctic perhaps someone would be kind enough send him a copy of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth for him to pass the time while waiting for the ice to melt and for the endangered polar bears to go away. …- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1890842/posts

Charles Adler:
Murder, Rape and Blackmail purchase respectabilty at the Toronto Star
Taliban Jack, they called him, hundreds of news cycles ago. Jack Layton would hold forth on the idea of the Canadian government and others participating in negotiations with the Taliban.
I naively thought that Jack was pandering to his pacifist party base, and that the idea of sitting down at the table with the human rights loathing, women-hating, head-chopping Taliban was something that would amount to nothing more than the usual flotsam and jestsam of political debate. But this apparently was not to be.
The Toronto Star’s Thomas Walkom, whose columns “inform” the values of mainstream Liberals, has now decided that the recent set of negotiations between the Taliban and the South Koreans should persuade us that the road to peace in Afghanistan may be paved with some Taliban diplomacy. Walkom thinks that South Korea’s deal to gain the release of 19 South Korean Christian missionaries from the Taliban is one that should persuade us that we have a peace partner in Afghanistan.
Walkom writes, “It puts the lie to those, including the current Canadian government, who say it is impossible or counterproductive to strike a deal with the Islamist insurgents. Clearly South Korea found the talks quite productive.”
So let me get this straight, Mr. Walkom: After the Taliban captured 21 missionaries, raped several of them, killed two of them and took a ransom payment of $20-million for the rest of them, you are telling us that we ought to think of the Taliban as legitimate partner in Afghan peacemaking. Thanks for the heads up Mr. Walkom. Now when Liberal mouth breathers start regurgitating this wickedly foul gumbo, we won’t be shocked. The head choppers in Afghanistan are assured of victory if enough of us over here begin losing our heads.
Taliban Jack is no doubt a happy camper. His foolishness has received respectability from the Liberal newspaper of choice. And to think that all it took to meet the Toronto Star’s price for respectability were a few dollops of kidnapping, rape, murder and blackmail. To be fair, we should remind ourselves that the victims were all Korean. The Toronto Star wouldn’t be burnishing the Taliban image if there had been Canadian blood in this Faustian bargain. Or would that also get filed as a naive assumption? …- http://communities.canada.com/nationalpost/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2007/09/04/charles-adler-murder-rape-and-blackmail-purchase-respectabilty-at-the-toronto-star.aspx

“Never trust a government that doesn’t trust its own citizens with guns.”
“For Harper to appeal to Ontario voters, he would have to move to the left on many issues that would cause a revolt in his western base, namely, the environment and health-care.”
Wrong. Harper is already on the left in terms of health care and the environment – nobody cares about these issues in reality.
Harper needs to set the agenda and not fight the next election on the opposition’s issues. Income tax cuts, income splitting, mortgage interest deductibility, GST abolition, cutting EI, CPP premiums or other payroll taxes to boost employment in Ontario. Heck, even a proposed labour mobility agreement w/ the US might do it.
We only need about 40-45% in Ontario to carry about 60% of the seats. That means capturing fiscally conservative voters who may be socially liberal as the ‘true’ conservative base is only about 30-35%.
Harper needs to keep building up a record as a tax-cutter and freeze program spending. The next election may not come until 2009 so he should keep moving on economic issues.
The Self-Loathing Multiculturalist…
The prediction is based mainly on the observation that Harper’s political successes seem to come in increments.
Is it possible the Conservatives pick up a couple points in Quebec, at the expense of the Liberals? Throw in another 3% split amongst Ontario, B.C. and the Maritimes, and it adds up to 41%, assuming they hold their votes from 2006.
Maybe Canadians are beginning to understand that Harper isn’t evil. Harper IS politically savvy, sure seems so. Harper went to school on Joe Clark’s minority… I believe he’s learned what he needs to know.
Not that Harper and Clark equate to one another, God no! Joe Clark, the Chretien Liberals… sorry, I cannot tell the difference between them, despite Clark being an Albertan. But Harper is smart enough to preserve his government, buying time, until things turn in his favour; he won’t let himself get stiffed by running as though he already has a majority.

Here, to top it all off, the idiot bird accuses Kate of not allowing freedom of speech, as if this is some publicly owned media service regulated by the government.
Ya, you can always go and comment on Warren Kinsella’s blog for a change.
Whatever your opinion on climate change/AGW, this is worth a look:

Wow. One million square kms of ice melted in 19 days. Looks like all those barbecues and A/C units posted near the temp meters are working gangbusters.

Charles Adler:
Murder, Rape and Blackmail purchase respectabilty at the Toronto Star
Taliban Jack, they called him, hundreds of news cycles ago. Jack Layton would hold forth on the idea of the Canadian government and others participating in negotiations with the Taliban.
I naively thought that Jack was pandering to his pacifist party base, and that the idea of sitting down at the table with the human rights loathing, women-hating, head-chopping Taliban was something that would amount to nothing more than the usual flotsam and jestsam of political debate. But this apparently was not to be.
The Toronto Star’s Thomas Walkom, whose columns “inform” the values of mainstream Liberals, has now decided that the recent set of negotiations between the Taliban and the South Koreans should persuade us that the road to peace in Afghanistan may be paved with some Taliban diplomacy. Walkom thinks that South Korea’s deal to gain the release of 19 South Korean Christian missionaries from the Taliban is one that should persuade us that we have a peace partner in Afghanistan.
Walkom writes, “It puts the lie to those, including the current Canadian government, who say it is impossible or counterproductive to strike a deal with the Islamist insurgents. Clearly South Korea found the talks quite productive.”
So let me get this straight, Mr. Walkom: After the Taliban captured 21 missionaries, raped several of them, killed two of them and took a ransom payment of $20-million for the rest of them, you are telling us that we ought to think of the Taliban as legitimate partner in Afghan peacemaking. Thanks for the heads up Mr. Walkom. Now when Liberal mouth breathers start regurgitating this wickedly foul gumbo, we won’t be shocked. The head choppers in Afghanistan are assured of victory if enough of us over here begin losing our heads.
Taliban Jack is no doubt a happy camper. His foolishness has received respectability from the Liberal newspaper of choice. And to think that all it took to meet the Toronto Star’s price for respectability were a few dollops of kidnapping, rape, murder and blackmail. To be fair, we should remind ourselves that the victims were all Korean. The Toronto Star wouldn’t be burnishing the Taliban image if there had been Canadian blood in this Faustian bargain. Or would that also get filed as a naive assumption? …-
