    Local MP Displeased With Liberal Senators
    Wide spread support across the political spectrum was not enough to stop Liberal Senators from essentially gutting a high profile Conservative justice bill. Portage-lisgar MP Candice Hoeppner says the bill would have changed the common practice of giving convicted criminals 2 for 1 credit for time served in pre-sentence custody to a 1 for 1.
    She notes the grit amendment would give convicted criminals 1.5 days of credit.
    Hoeppner says Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff needs to talk to the Senators involved and get them in line.
    She believes Liberals talk tough on crime, but when it comes to doing something about it that’s another story.

  4. Ah, The Who!
    “Ever since I was a young man,
    I’ve played the silver ball,
    From Soho down to Brighton,
    I must have played them all…”
    Anybody got a link to an online recording of “Tommy”, Youtube or whatever?

  5. Liberals are definitely not tough on crime. Do a survey of the local prison population on their voting habits. The prison system is a major Liberal voting block, so they’re going to do all they can to keep them happy. It was the Liberals that gave prisoners the right to vote while in prison. I don’t understand how anyone can believe the Liberals are tough on crime, except when it concerns Conrad Black, Brian Mulroney, or some other big name conservative.

  7. pete,
    Don’t assume that because the Liberals have been traditionally soft on crime that they want people to notice that they’re soft on crime.
    Personally, I don’t mind if our system is soft on some criminals as long as their offences are minor; but it does annoy me that a person can violently or sexually assault someone and be back on the street in a couple of years. I could be wrong but I suspect that most Canadians are like me, and where the Liberals are out of step with most Canadians is that they don’t make the distinction between a dumb 18 year old that goes on a joy-ride and the 48 year old repeat offender child molester.

    Well you certainly have a way with words.

  15. IffyDionky: no shift from green.
    It’s back: Green Shaft, Bam the Dog, carbon taxes, and Dionky’s revenge.
    Senator Mike Duffy is correct:
    Here is the quote:
    “Bob Rae has a plan to grow the Liberal party by subsuming labour and Green Party support,*”.
    Iffy has been carbon captured by Boob Rae and Lizard MayGreen.

  17. Check out the article in todays The Gazette (Montreal) on the long waiting list for subsidized day care spaces in Quebec. The ‘great’ Quebec model.
    “The mad rush to wait”
    With waiting lists of hundreds of names and parents fighting one another for a spot on it, some $7-a-day daycares are fed up with managing them and have outsourced them to third parties…

    **”Barack Obama – Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?”
    “The “small people”, the “rank and file”, the “loyal soldiers” of the narcissist – his flock, his nation, his employees – they pay the price. The disillusionment and disenchantment are agonizing. The process of reconstruction, of rising from the ashes, of overcoming the trauma of having been deceived, exploited and manipulated – is drawn-out. It is difficult to trust again, to have faith, to love, to be led, to collaborate. Feelings of shame and guilt engulf the erstwhile followers of the narcissist. This is his sole legacy: a massive post-traumatic stress disorder.”

    Could the error have anything to do with all the references to MJ as Canada’s head of state? Could there be corrections being made? Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm.

  24. Nothing like a little ‘conservative’ government to structurally increase the number of civil servants and creating the largest deficits in the history of the nation.
    “You’ve been Con’ed”.
    And the party has wrapped its’ lips around all of your wallets…..
    As deficit grows, so does bureaucracy
    Increase of 4.5% fuelled by Harper government spending
    By Kathryn May, The Ottawa CitizenOctober 13, 2009
    As Canada’s deficit mushrooms, the size of the federal public service and its shadow bureaucracy of temporary workers keeps on growing.
    The Public Service Commission annual report shows the public service continued its steady growth of the past decade and added another 9,072 jobs last year — a 4.5-per-cent increase over the year before. That included everything from full-time, permanent work to student jobs.

  26. Well done Cons – an elegant transfer of wealth to connected blowboys and industry lobbyists. Guess if the Libranos did this, the ‘conservative’ voter might be a little miffed, no?
    Funny. Maybe the Three Stooges made the Cons dump this money into the professional welfare earning class?
    Or maybe, the Cons did it all on their lonesome….
    Ethanol subsidies a useless boondoggle
    The Gazette October 12, 2009
    Ethanol is the gift that keeps on giving – but only to corn-growers and opportunistic automakers. For taxpayers, however, it’s a dream that failed and a rat-hole down which our governments keep pouring our tax money. This useless boondoggle must stop.
    Last week, CanWest News Service reported on a government memo that says clearly that Ottawa’s costly effort to promote E85 fuel – industry shorthand for 85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent ordinary gasoline – will do no good.
    In fact, we believe the whole push for ethanol – produced mainly from corn in Canada – will bring no actual reductions in total greenhouse gas emissions, but will cost taxpayers $2.2 billion in federal subsidies, plus more from provinces, especially Ontario…..”
    Boy, good thing Raitt is on this. She can claim this issue isn’t ‘sexy’ anymore, and stop the hemorrhage of taxpayer money.

  28. Remember when the Natives started the armed bootlegging of smokes across the border a few years back ? And remember how the Chretien gov’t folded ? And Ont and Que responded by lowering cig taxes ?
    After all, the Charter probably would side with the original aboriginal’s right to make a living from hunting and fishing and …. bootlegging across international borders ??
    What could go wrong , eh ?
    [Illegal cigarette use by teens jumps to all-time highs in Ontario & Quebec]
    [RCMP officials note the vast majority of contraband cigarettes are smuggled illegally into Canada through the Akwesasne reserve, which straddles the US/Canada border near Cornwall, Ontario. They are priced cheaply, often selling for $1.00 for a pack of 20 cigarettes as compared to $8.00 for government taxed cigarettes. ]

    What’s creepy about the contraband smoke story is that people & ‘researchers’ are stalking around schools, collecting litter to discern behavior.
    From this, they extrapolate to how much ‘lost’ funds are missing from federal coffers.
    In the least disguised piece of statist bullsh*t I’ve seen outside of Pravda: “Contraband cigarettes are often made in illegal, unregulated factories and sold to kids”
    Nanny state fascists and name dropping moralists under the guise of ‘former’ Police officers and concerned citizens.
    No kid under 18 should be smoking. No kid under 18 should be having an alcoholic beverage. No kid under 18 should be altering their state of consciousness with cannabis.
    But don’t kid yourself – this bunch ain’t your average group of ‘concerned citizens’. They’re a bunch of abolitionists with a communication strategy, and a fetish for collecting garbage around schools.
    Perhaps talking to the kids wouldn’t be a bad idea, no?
    Naw. Not in today’s day and age.

  32. According to Nat Post:
    > The Ignatieffs own neither a car nor bicycles
    Are there limits the politicians will go to?
    I don’t know whether to cry or laugh: too green for a bike, LOL!

  33. Michael Scheuer, Get Nasty or Go Home
    One has to admire the ingenuity of the policymakers, journalists, and generals who are desperately seeking to avoid hard decisions on what to do about America’s lost war in Afghanistan. Last spring, the Barack Obama administration, Republican leaders, and senior U.S. generals signed on to the fairy-tale prescription spun by David Kilcullen in his book The Accidental Guerrilla. Kilcullen argued that only limited numbers of Afghans were dedicated insurgents and that the great bulk of the United States’ enemies in Afghanistan were either hired by the Taliban or intimidated by Takfiri Islamists. Based on this comprehensive surmise — for which there is scant evidence — this April’s strategy was to “protect” Afghans from bad guys and give jobs to those waging war for wages. Having attained these goals, the strategy held, cleaning up the unpopular Takfiris would be — like Iraq — a cakewalk.
    Guess what? No cakewalk. Now, Americans are watching a shellshocked Obama administration trying to decide what to do about Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s urgent request for 40,000-45,000 additional U.S. troops…

  36. Hey, cal2, I like the wrinkle in time — not quite what Madeline L’Engle had in mind, but there’s a certain charm to it!
    Maybe they could tesseract right out of Canada … back to the White Russia of Count Iggy’s ancestors … to the land of dachas and troikas and a servant in every room.

  37. more likely a wrinkle in the Higgs Boson theory. and unfortunately a wrinkled up, crinkled up couple of billion euros.
