  1. It’s not that they are apologists – they openly practice mass murder, whenever given an opportunity.
    I had a socialist colleague, who believed that Stalin was the best leader USSR ever had and that slaughtering the millions in the course of 1917 revolution and the civil war of 1918-1922 was an absolutely necessary ‘elimination of enemies’ who stood in the way to bright future.
    And that person actually moved to Canada from the former USSR, probably due to reforms corrupting his socialist paradise. Canadians, that is quite a verdict for your society!

  5. Mommar, did you mean to type ‘obama is leading me’? How obama may be 1) leading and 2) leading me, is beyond me.

  7. It’s not surprising that neither Taliban Jack’s ND’s nor Gilles Duceppes’s communist party’s are opposed to hurting their supporters feelings.
    Duceppe was once a card carrying communist in Quebec.
    Good on Jason Kenney and the conservatives for their stand on the issue.

  9. Scratch a right whinger, find a hypocrite.
    What would the corpulent Kenney and
    various and sundry small dead minds
    have to say about a government sanctioned
    monument to the millions of victims of
    American supported totalitarianism?

  11. It bears repeating, the reason that the ND’s and Bloc are opposing the monument with the wording “victims of “communism” in Ottawa is that both those two party’s represent socialists and a large communist section of the Canadian and Quebec population.
    Canadian style soft communism.
    Polls show up to 18% of the population.

  12. You can trust me Philboy when I say I’ve been around a little and seen a few things, lots of experiences that many will not ever have, have had the privilage of meeting a myraid of people from the top of the totem pole to the bottom. Anyway I think you are a tool.

  13. Even with the grade two level tease’n’ taunt smarminess thrown in, Philboy asks a good question, seeking no more than some sort of speculative response. However, it is not the question under discussion here. For a more precise answer, from the source, as it were, perhaps he should address this same question, in the same tone, directly to Jason Kenney. For even greater insight, he might want to ask Pres. Obama as well.
    1917 to the present, the death toll under the good old hammer’n’sickle butchers, is conservatively estimated to be 180,000,000 men, women and children…
    For further consideration, perhaps one ought to take a google and peek at the Prague Declaration of 2008. Philboy, once you’ve read it all, and digested it – get back to this site with more of your informed and considered thoughts and musings on this issue.

  14. I am disappointed that friendship between NDP and communists is not put on display more often, so Jack Layton would stop speaking for “all Canadians”.

  15. Boob Rae’s Provincial NDP government and one of BC’s NDP governments (I can’t recall which) have both put up monuments TO Communism in the form of honoring the Stalinists of the Mackenzie-Papineau “Battalion” in the Spanish Civil War. (BTW, Ontario leftists fought against and succeeded in stopping a monument to Canadian volunteers serving in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War because it wasn’t a Canadian war.)

  19. By the way, so-called Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, shot nuns and priests, ruined the and looted the churches and even scattered the remains found from the catacombs throughout the streets. This may please Kate, I’m not sure.

    Barbara Amiel, back when she wrote columns regularly for the Toronto Sun, had Bob Rae and his ND government pegged as “crypto-communist”.
    Nothing has changed in Toronto voting pattern since then.
    Or Quebec for that matter.
    They like communism.

  21. If I didn’t know any better, I would think people like Philboy were DEFENDING the communists?
    Boy I must be confused or somethin’…

  23. But of course our National Capital Commission can’t put up a monument to the victims of “totalitarian Communism” as it may offend those associated with communism.
    Gee 61 million wiped out by Soviet communism and people are worried about offending communists.
    I didn’t worry about offending the East German border guards when I told them to pull the trigger.
    Philboy is just an ignorant ideological troll with little or no experience of real totalitarian regimes.
    “American supported totalitarianism”? just where is your evidence for this?
    Philboy is a comedian.

    Kill those who do not worship your wisdom.

  25. A little off topic, but still relevant when speaking of leftists, has anyone seen Bill C-428 changing residency requirements to collect OAS? It is currently 10 years and Ruby Dhalla (& friends) want to see it reduced to three. Are they insane?

  26. Hans, your numbers must be slightly understated.
    I am not sure they include all victims of several Anthrax leaks at the Soviet WMD biolabs.
    I am not sure they include the victims of nuke tests performed on the Soviet army troops.
    Not sure if the victims of fallout from the chain of ground nuclear explosions in the Perm and Syktyvkar regions included.
    Do those numbers include those victims, crushed by the armored vehicles during suppression of several peaceful protests in the 1970s?
    Are the petty criminals, who were sentenced to forced labour in the uranium mines and chemical WMD labs and succumbed to poisoning there, included?

  27. And of course, the good little liberal media is doing there best to make it look like Harper’s 140+ seat government is being propped up by separatists and commies while somehow ignoring the fact that while this is a quite different situation, it was okay when it was Dion and his 70 odd seats that would have been propped up. Aislin is a doofus and a sell-out.

  29. The only real difference between a socialist and a Communist / Fascist is that most socialists are unwilling to go that extra step to violence to further the ideology. However once a society is far enough along the road to socialism there is usually someone that steps forward to offer that extra little push to make people see the evils of freedom.

    **I’m a fascist, remember? It’s one of the perks.**
    I am offended….even such a tongue-in-cheek, spur of the moment retort….is offensive…and ill considered…
    I have serious doubts that Kate harbours any notions even remotely related to fascism which is in reality just another flavour of socialism/communism.
    Censorship is a necessary evil even in the most permissive societies—-eg child porn or open sedition…
    This subject is of personal interest to me—
    You see, I had the grave misfortune of seeing the Cambodian “killing fields” first hand………..

  31. I remember the shocked look on a Chinese couple’s face when they asked my opinion of Norman Bethune many years ago.
    They have the idea that he is a venerated hero here in Canada..I mean we did give him a commercial stating he was the best of us, right?
    It made me want to gag.He was just another apologist for mass murder.

  32. i was a long time friend of norman bethune’s aide de camp(minder)in the spanish civil war…a man who knew bethune intimately…
    i believe i know a few things about norman bethune that you won’t see published…thereby disturbing the sentimental “symmetry’ of the mythology…

  33. I’m failing to see your point here, Larry. The Republicans in the Spanish Civil War were an amalgam of leftists, socialists, communists, etc., fighting against the generally royalists Nationalists under Franco. And while I’m loathe to even consider any sort of apologetic toward Franco, I think you’ve just proved Kate’s overall point, haven’t you? Reading comprehension, my lad…

  34. Good for Jason Kenny.
    No doubt Phillboy is upset that my grandfather was not included int 100 plus million victims of Communism, as were his two brothers and other family members. Communist apologists like him, Taliban Jack and Duceppe make me sick to my stomach, as do the professors and teachers in Canada that teach this Marxist garbage.

  35. Since we’re talking about commies:
    “There’s no time like now to organize resistance!”
    So says the header of a communist/socialist online youth magazine I came across this a.m.
    http://rebelyouth-magazine.blogspot.com/
    Among the tabs to click on: Marxism Today/Quebec/Cuba/ Aboriginals
    This is a Canadian site. Very freakish. Address they are from is Danforth Street, Toronto.
    Like I said, Freakish.

  36. The booers should of been thrown out of Parliment, showing public support for a political ideology that’s killed more people in peace time than all our wars is despicable. I hope we can drag up the names of the booers thus letting the court of public opinion deal with them.

  37. They’re next door to the Asteria (souvlaki!) on the upper floor. It’s about as small time as a small time operation can be.

  38. Who’s apologizing for totalitarianism.??
    I’m talking about an honest historical perspective.
    By all means, put up your monument, but
    don’t try to deny American support of, and complicity in, murderous totalitarian regimes.
    ie Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile,
    Indonesia, etc, etc.
    There wouldn’t have been an Ayatollah without
    the US crushing democracy in Iran and setting up the Shah dictatorship. There would not have been a Pol Pot were it not for the destabilization of
    the region caused by the US invasion of
    Vietnam.
    There’s a few million you credit to communism that belongs on your side of the balance sheet.
    The list of US foreign policy malfeasance
    is a long and sorry one.
    So again, what would the corpulent Kenney
    have to say about a monument to that
    documented evil.???

  39. When you say “your side of the balance sheet”, then you are admitting you are on the other side of the balance sheet, i.e. a commie??, philboy?

  40. All communist apologizers should read “MEMORIES DENIED” by Estonian Imbi Paju.
    The terror, inhumanity, brutality, and pure evil of communism is clearly documented & described.
    Strongly recommended!
    Communists anywhere should, and must, be insulted, ridiculed, offended, blamed, and exposed. The deserve it.

  42. 1. The Contras weren’t the government in Nicaragua, philly/manny. The “contrarevoluciones” (a true “people’s army”, according to Ronald Radosh) were fighting Ortega’s regime.
    2. Leftists in 1979 Iran assisted the mullahs in overthrowing the Shah – the mullahs then massacred the commies (just like if we were to lose the war on Islamic fascism, btw).
    3. Some Chileans protested in favour of Pinochet while he was being prosecuted. Some still thank him for saving them from socialism. I also note that I haven’t heard any demonstrations on September 11 recently.

  43. Did Philboy dare mention Chile?
    I know something of Chile, having a Chilean wife.
    Pinochet saved her life. By eliminating the violent socialist revolutionaries and stopping the civil war, he saved far more lives then he took (and greatly improved Chile!).
    And since the communists had told my in-laws that when the revolution came, they would be shot, if the CIA did support Pinochet, then good for them.
    Viva Pinochet.
    BTW, the CIA was supporting opposition parties to the socialists intent on destroying freedom and prosperity in Chile, but did not support Pinochet until after the coup.
    Please compare Cuba to Chile, and tell me which revolution resulted in freer, safer and more prosperous citizens… the one supported by the Americans, or the one supported by the soviets?

  44. pilboy
    “””the region caused by the US invasion of
    Vietnam.””””
    you blew your credibility rite there

  45. We have to return to teaching history in schools. Not the revisionist history in vogue but real history based on facts. Can’t blame the young for being ignorant when they are taught by the ignorant. Maybe extra credits for proving the teacher wrong?

  46. I left a comment on that blog. I will paraphrase here: air-lift these “progressives” to some god-awful communist country and have them find a passage back. I am calling it now: they will eat their shoes in a fit of insanity.

  47. Tell you what Redboy, you put up your monument (as soon as the New Commies get elected) and we’ll put up ours. I figure it’s about 10 million to one in our favour, if you’re keeping score. Which is just another good argument for limiting the power of government. While we can argue about the mistakes made by democracies, we should be able to agree that while serious, they can in no way rival the great evils of the 20th century’s totalitarian, communist regimes.

  49. I guess phlatulent philboy still hasn’t worked up the nerve to ask Kenney. Well. How about aksing Barry?
    phillboy – do read the Prague Declaration. It’s written by reps from all European and East Euro nations.
    enlightening. If that’s really what you’re after.
