Did you walk to work this morning, Canada? A politician without a mandate needs the carbon credits;
Liberal Leader Stephane Dion says he will travel to Bali, Indonesia, next month for the United Nations climate change summit to ensure that the Harper government doesn’t push the world in the wrong direction in the fight against global warming.
“I will do everything possible to make sure this conference works well,” Dion said. “I don’t have a mandate to negotiate, but I know a lot of people [from other foreign delegations] and I take the cause of climate change to heart.”
For what is a man profited, if he gain the Liberal leadership, and lose the world?
“We are speaking about the worst ecological threat that humanity is facing, and I will do my best.”
Did you work an extra few minutes today, Canada? A politiican without a mandate needs your tax dollars.
He did not say, however, how he would pay for his trip if the government refuses.
Because planet saving ends at the wallet’s edge.
Uncommon Sense;
These opposition media whores are making this country a complete laughingstock internationally. You do not see Condolezza Rice berated in Israel by Hillary Clinton who followed here there to state the Democratic platform. You don’t see Gary Kasperov waiting in the hallways of the UN building in the hopes that he can grasp the coat-tails of some NBC news crew so he can deride his governments position on the state of Georgia. If Dion, or any other member of the opposition, Liberal, NDP, Greens or Bloc want to spend their own personal money and travel as John Q Public to whatever, meeting wherever, then fine, there is no way to stop them but it should be crystal clear that these people do not speak for Canada and do not speak for Canadians.

This guy should rename his dog to Mirage then hopefully they would both disapear.
Will somebody please take Dion out behind the House of Commons and beat the shit out of him!
But will the MSM make fun of him when he loses his luggage?
I would think there would be a CBCpravda reporter there to cover his every pronouncement. a gaggle of gogglers.
“Will somebody please take Dion out behind the House of Commons and beat the shit out of him! ”
Rona or Helena would be a good choice.
Let’s try this – Dion stays, Schreiber goes (apparently not).
All three non-elected, non-government parties took it upon themselves to tell the governor of Montana that they alone represent the majority of Canadians, not the elected Government of Canada.
And now the French citizen is attempting to fight against, if not replace the elected Canadian Government in Bali.
I wonder how you say treason in French? Guillotine?
What’s Steffi going to say when he gets there, Bali,Hi!
For sure he’ll have an entourage of Tweedle Dumbs from CBC and CTV, maybe they’ll pay his flight and bar tab.
Hope they keep an eye on him, wouldn’t want him to drown or anything, WE NEED HIM to keep this good government in power!
File under Twit goes to the South Pacific to steal the show. What a hoot.
Here’s hoping that come next election, the Canadian public will look at this Bali stunt as being the farce it is. Then maybe we can all sing Dion a chorus from the musical South Pacific:
“I’m gonna wash that man right outta my hair…”
” AGW conference ends at the swim up bar”…priceless Kate!
There really can’t be enough cynical humor directed at the toxic hypocrisy of the political & pseudo-science evangelists who ride the AGW hoax for fame and perks.
I hope Citoyen Dijon and Soo-Zook both get crotch fungus looking for AGW solutions in upscale Bali bordellos.
I wonder if, as another one of the unnecessary 20,000+ CO2 producers at the Bali conference, he will he apologize to Chad for using up their entire annual quota of CO2 emissions ?
Didn’t think so.
Maybe he can buy some carbon credits from Al Gore, make him a bit richer.
The only benefit of this entire global benefit scam is that liberal heads almost explode when I honestly tell them I don’t care about the future of the planet.
Then there’s the little extra twist of the vice when they ask about the children and I gently explain that for the children I love I’ll leave behind whatever money I can as well as the firearms and training they’ll need.
As to Dion, I’m going to go take my dog out for a car ride. We’ll grab a Tim’s.
I walk to work in the morning and again after lunch. Each round trip is 3 km, so I walk 6 km a day. Can I sell these carbon credits to someone?
Releive your guilt! Pay me to continue to walk to work.

Re our Dishonourable Leader of the Opposition, and sticking with the South Pacific sound track—Bali Hi: super! and I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a my Hair—he’s such a light weight and buffoon, how about “A hundred and one pounds of fun, that’s my little honey-Dion”.
While Nellie sang the “Honey Bun” song, Luther Billis and his buddies, dressed as grass skirted floozies with coconut boobs and watermelon size, bright red lips, knew they were spoofing it up. Dion IS a (s)poof, an utter will o’ the wisp, who believes he’s an oak tree. Quel idiot!
A little OT – but did Dion not state that he was going to visit Afghanistan “at the first chance”. Sent Coderre instead, haven’t heard from him. Now Dion is heading for Bali – must be hard to make priorities.
I assume Denis Coderre will be leaving post haste for Bali to pave the way for the leaders visit. After all, Denis usually takes point on these international hot spots. No?
On the upside I hear the accommodations in Bali are somewhat more upscale then tents and porta-pottys. At least Ruby Dhalla can rest assured that Denis and Stephane will be entertained in a manner befitting their importance and stature.
On that note, I must add that Dion will surely make it to Kandahar when the lodging opportunities achieve enough gold stars.
Syncro
DWT – heh. You’re right. What about Dion’s famed intention to visit Afghanistan ‘at the first chance’? Certainly, Bali is more environmentally amenable than a war zone. It is indeed ‘hard to make priorities’.
If Dion goes to Bali, he should be considered simply one of the silly young jejune activists who are there to party and protest … AND NOTHING MORE!
Dion is an immature person who is always on the verge of a tantrum.
And he should pay his own way there as mentioned.
I loved the ‘wallets edge’ comment … how true is that.
This really concerns me as a Canadian. Dion could make Canada seem like a laughing stock. Maybe he should go as a citizen of France instead.
Does Dion not understand International protocol???He and his opinions have NO STANDING as representing Canada on the International stage. Anything derogatory or “anti government position” that he does in other countries is treasonous.
He did not earn the right to speak for this country.
Perhaps the government protocol should call him on the carpet and explain these things to him before Dion makes an international faux pas and we all look like fools.
Just noted that the Liberals claim that Baird does not want to invite the Opposition to Bali because they want to ” avoid being criticized or ridiculed”.
Well DUH. Do you think our country wants to be criticized or ridiculed on the world stage???? By blatant political opportunists doing it for THEIR political gain and nothing to do with what is in the best interests of 33 million Canadians?
So – that just tells you the very motive for Dion going to Bali – to criticize and ridicule our Prime Minister. That’s sure going to help our cause isn’t it?
I am so infuriated by these slimely Liberal snakes wanting to take their slimely political disgusting antics onto the world stage.
Like I said – TREASON
Never mind that E.C. just predicted the coldest Canadian winter in 15 years…
I would suggest Dion hitchhike to BC, rent a leaky canoe and start paddling to Bali. He could raise so much support from eco-bleeding-hearts across this country. Like Terry Fox or Rick Hansen. What a heroic one-cause man.
Dion thinks he speaks for me? How dare he!
Do you think it is easy to stay democratic?
If Stephen Harper gets the U.S. to agree to limits( Bush would be crazy to possibly leave it to the Dems) in Bali ,he may be in line for a Nobel Prize.:)
To the Gorzuki crowd, Environment Canada warns that this will be the coldest winter in years.

20,000 delegates living off taxpayers all over the world. The airport can’t accommodate all the private jets spewing CO2 into the atmosphere. Disgusting!!
Stephan Dion is just taking a page from Nancy Pelosi’s foreign policy trip to Syria. Ms. Pelosi’s trip obviously led to a peace deal in the Middle East which is gainsaying Bush’s current conference in Annapolis.
Maybe Stephane Dion can take Karlheinz Schreiber with him as there is always a shortage of aging german men in speedo trunks swimming up to the daquiri swim bar. Remember KHS is not a ‘flight risk’ which should be a good thing for Airbus.
Goodness gracious there could be collusion between Stephane Dion’s messenger Thibault and KHS to plot strategy to smear PMSH and the current government.
35000 pages of notes is a lot of paper to review.
How many trees aren’t absorbing C02 due to the voluminous notes is a calculation Dion should take a great interest in.
Cheers
I’m honoured for the link Kate. You’ve just managed to more than double my visits in less than 5 hours. The real government of Canada needs to comment publicly, both here in Canada and internationally that these morons to speak for us.
Personally I’d like to hear something like this:
CTV/CBC Pressitute: But Stephan Dion said XYZ at the Bali conference…
PM Harper: If Stephan Dion wants to earn the right to speak for the people of Canada then he’d better stop sulking and sitting on his hands in parliament every time there is a confidence vote.
Assuming we still have some protocol left for such treks, our Prime Minister and delegation will be the only ones heard from representing Canada.
Dion and his minions can’t be playing Liberal gotcha games on the world stage. Is he planning to sit at the back of the room and heckle like they do in QP?
Bloody fools.
Liz – if Dion goes the Liberal Canadian media will make sure it is ONLY Dion’s comments that are reported on back home – comments that condemn and ridicule our Prime MInister as he attempts to work on this issue to the betterment of the world.
Dion will be aided by the Liberal media as the Liberals work on the betterment of the Liberal power mongers.
Sickening sickening sickening.
Just thinking of someone like Dion going to other countries speaking for MY Canada makes me sick. He is a total bufoon and when other countires see that is the kind of person we choose as politicians and party leaders to boot we all look stupid.
gotta luv it

I thought he would ride off on a bicycle.
Since it seems a statistical majority of voting Canadians have been sucked in by the MMGW fraud,I applaud Harper for NOT taking the easy vote-getting path of simply complying with the hysteria for political gain.
From what I have witnessed of the LPC this past decade,I would expect nothing less of Dion than to treat this supposed impending global catastrophe as nothing more than an opportunity to politically grandstand.
To those who openly support this man,how f**king stupid can you be to believe a man who failed to accomplish ANYTHING when he had all the chance in the world.
Blind partisan airheads.

celine would be a compliment
PMSH has to stop this b.s. with the Liberals once and for all.
Bring forward, as a matter of confidence, a vote to adopt the CPC environment plan as official Canadian policy.
If the government falls, we get an election and a certain majority government despite what the Liberal lackey pollsters say.
If the Liberals sit on their hands again and abstain, they can forever shut their pie holes.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
clair voyant,
You ignore the realities of the current political landscape in Canada.
An election with the environment as it’s core issue would be a very happy hunting ground for the insincere LPC and it’s MSM sycophants.
As much as I consider a Harper led government miles ahead of any recent LPC led one,the polls continue to show Canadians are NOT willing to give Harper a majority.
One cons mistep and we are back to a lib minority.
A New Debate on Female Circumcision
Dr. Ahmadu, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Chicago, was raised in America and then went back to Sierra Leone as an adult to undergo the procedure along with fellow members of the Kono ethnic group. She has argued that the critics of the procedure exaggerate the medical dangers, misunderstand the effect on sexual pleasure, and mistakenly view the removal of parts of the clitoris as a practice that oppresses women. She has lamented that her Westernized “feminist sisters insist on denying us this critical aspect of becoming a woman in accordance with our unique and powerful cultural heritage.”
http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/11/30/a-new-debate-on-female-circumcision/
I’d say chances are good that the self-loathing radical feminists are in agreement. Hey, they are giving this human deformity a place at the table. How sick is that.
Fair enough, Teddy re: Tory mistep leads to Grit minority; however, we cannot ignore the gaffes Dion will surely make in campaign. Just picture the guy in english debates to get idea of what I mean. In an election, statements like “I will end poverty” will be challenged with reference to policy to achieve goals. I can’t wait for their Kyoto implementation policy, complete with carbon credits to China.
Harper and Tories are way more organized, have way more money, and have proven they can formulate policy, unlike the Liberals, who are making fools of themselves, and this country, by spending their time supporting criminals like Kadr, Morton and Schreiber.
When Canadians actually think about politics, in election campaign, then we will see how hesitant they will be to give Tories a majority. Having said, that, the large cities, particularly Toronto, seem to still buy into the idea that Tories are mouth-breathing religious zealots who want women in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant without access to abortion, who want to bring back capital punishment (kind of ironic don’t you think, given the stereotype of Christian fundamentalists, who as a group oppose capital punishment).
Then again, common sense is not the strong suit of the electorate. No way Dion becomes PM. No, it’s not the same as Harper’s experience, where the same things were said about him. When Harper became Tory leader, he rebuilt the organization and financial health of the party, then moved onto his strong suit, policy formation. Harper didn’t get the keys to 24 Sussex Dr until he did that.
Dion has failed to do either, seeming to think he can get Canadians to trust him by slinging mud, humiliating Canada on the world stage, and cavorting with criminals and terrorists. It won’t wash

Is it my imagination or is the MSM constantly talking about what the Liberals should do to get back power? Isn’t it all about the Liberals and what they should do to GET the Conservatives and how Dion MISSED so many chances?
Not one bloody word about the great work this government is doing in such a short time, run by an honest, straight shooter like Harper.
Today I was sickened by the lawyer for Schreiber who was giving Harper the gears for treating his client, Schreiber so harshly.
How the hell can anyone deal with such a stacked deck and still run a credible government with such a bunch of Liberal hacks, hounds and sucks?
This is the sort of slime that brings down governments in Banana Republics. Are we there yet?
Just had a vision of Dion at the Swim up Bar! Some of my supper just came up.

“These opposition media whores are making this country a complete laughingstock internationally. You do not see Condolezza Rice berated in Israel by Hillary Clinton who followed here there to state the Democratic platform.”
I seem to remember Stephen Harper using his podium recently in Australia to air Canada’s political laundry to the world, which is not very statesman like IMO.
Steve, that comment is so stupid it doesn’t even warrant any response.
Hey Shamrock, does it make you an idiot if you preach about how unworthy of a response my comment is while you’re responding to my comment? It’s kind of like a fat guy preaching against eating hamburgers while eating one. Thanks though! 😉
No it doesn’t.
As the scam unravels more and more rapidly the screaming lefties get ever more shrill with their rhetoric about the impending demise of the planet. Yes this 5 billion year old planet is in need of Steffis help and along with those high IQ fellows like Gore and the old Suzukelele they will single handedly save our planet while plucking your wallet. Only a Lieberal would be stupid enough to try to stop global warming as the jets fly people non-stop during every winter, to warmer places than this 30 below place. Think of the carbon you morons, from all those planes, give it up your now pathetic with this modern day tulip bulb hoax.

Ok, perhaps not an idiot, but a wee bit slower than the average bear.
steve, I assume that you are speaking of PM Harper’s comments on the Senate.
It’s amazing that you would hold your nose and use the unelected and unaccountable senate to try to demonstrate how the Prime Minister, elected to that post by the people does not… in your twisted opinion… have the right to speak for the people of Canada.
Shamrock is right… Your comment is stupid.
Shamrock is right… Your comment is stupid.
actually shamrock is wrong, the stupidity should be assigned to the commentor
Stevee…….tell me how great the accomplishments of the lieberals are from their stint in power, how they reduceded gorebull warming, how they traced the”brown” envelopes and punished those involved, and ALL their other little escapades
