Calling out Liberal pillow-talkers posing as political pundits;
The continuing disregard the Liberals have for the West was illustrated perfectly by their now-defunct leader Stephane Dion’s back room deal with the NDP, supported by the Bloc Quebecois, to defeat the Harper government — post election — without having to fight another one.
Indeed, it’s hard to imagine a Liberal caucus with any significant representation from Western Canada, or even one truly concerned about national unity, agreeing to such a deal, knowing the fury it would set off in the West.
Much of the Ottawa media — who constantly adopt the Liberal narrative of Canada as their own — joined the Liberals in blasting Harper for saying what was accurate: That the Liberal/NDP/Bloc accord is an unprecedented deal with Quebec separatists, giving them more power than they have ever had before, and one which, if implemented, would weaken Canada.
This Liberal/media complaint was based on their insistence calling separatists, separatists is forbidden, because it offends Quebecers, unless, of course, Liberals are doing it, in which case it’s OK.
Precisely.
Some great posts here, ET – thank-you, I learned a lot reading them.
I agree with you Pat, 100%.
Well said Sean M.
Speaking for myself, as a person who was part of the group of people who lost a job and my savings during the NEP – NOPE we will never forget. And – it will never happen again. Trust us on that.
In any next election, it looks like the Liberals and Dippers will get skunked .. except in the gay and marxist communities in BC, Redmonton and WPG.
Now I wonder what all those Montreal Island Lib-loving federalists will do now that the Liberal party has sold them out to the BQ separatists again with their Coalition Junta?
In the recent Ipsos Reid poll, Quebec was the only province in Canada that wanted a Coalition government .. once again showing the rest of the stupid Canadians that Quebecers will always protect their advantages in Canada … while the rest of us suck Quebec shlong.
I have to confess, before today, I never understood what the hell Albertans were talking about with their, “I’ll NEVER forget the NEP” business. I used to think it was just their natural tendency to behave like sucky babies, but finally, Justthinkin at 11:13 put it all in perspective.
Albertans will never forget the NEP because it was the best sex they ever had.
How on earth could the west ever forget the NEP? The Liberals continue to try to bring it back under another shady disguise. Dion’s carbon tax was simply the NEP x 2. Make no mistake there would have been a special side deal with Danny the mouth Williams so that his resources weren’t touched. In the end it would work the same way, take from the west to buy votes in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, and Toronto. That’s how the Liberals have managed to cling to power all these years.
I for one was very surprised that the Liberals didn’t win the last election. Canadians finally stood up and said no, we will not rape the west for an easy handout. For the first time in over fifty years I was proud of my country.
If this coalition manages to steal power I believe the west will finally give up hope in ever being a true part of Canada. The people in eastern Canada should think long and hard about what would happen if Harper were to be ousted in such a coup. If he were to return to Alberta, not to reform a government but to remove us from Canada I believe he could generate a landslide. For all you Liberals, careful what you wish for!!!
remains curious none of the Con supporters in here mention Harper’s full blown carbon tax being crafted by Prentice right now.
Maybe it should be called the ‘Blue Shift’.
Because all it will do is shift wealth from one person – to favored industries and players.
Whether or not that is desirable or desired itself, certainly isn’t talked about. Taxation by stealth…

I prefer GWB’s version of the saying: “Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice…well you can’t fool me again”.
Yo, Kelly and Indiana, checked the price of oil lately?
