Fringe parties are fringe for a reason.
Liz has a lot to be furious about. The global warming scam is pretty much dead, temperatures aren’t rising, even the Arctic ice cap is growing. What’s a modern day rent-seeker to do?

When has Ellie May ever debated anyone anyhow?
All she does is howl and screech and try to bite the other debaters.
I posted this comment earlier today in “Reader Tips: Feminist Appreciation Week”:
“May should have vanished from politics forever 30 seconds after Lisa Raitt hustled her off the stage at that press gala earlier this year.
What ever you might think about Mulcair, Harper or Trudeau The Younger, if any one of these three had delivered a drug/drink-fuelled rant at a public podium, they’d be history now.
This only reinforces that the Greens are not a serious political party and should simply be ignored into oblivion.”
Dor the last General Election, didn’t Elizabeth May ask Green-inclined voters to vote Liberal rather than Green? A traitor for every pot … a former American, cut from the same cloth as Barack Obama.
You have to love the party leaders. Lizzy is American and Angry Tom is French. Why are so many leaders hedging their bets? In case they screw it all up?
With any luck this will be her last election!
Lizzie need only attend one debate. Before she’s finished talking all the debates will be over anyway, the election will probably have been held and the Paris Climate Change Conference will be starting.
Then she can just keep on talking. After her loudmouth lout performance the last time she was in/ruined a debate, why would any self-respecting broadcaster allow he to participate?
Except CBC I mean. Actually someone did sort of shut her up once – Dr Tim Ball debated/slaughtered her when she was foolish enough to debate him on climate change:

Plus Dr Ball gives an excellent primer on climate change political & junk science.
“Finge party” may be a mistake, or maybe not, but it is good anyway: “the Green Party is Canada’s most notorious finge party” – yes, it works perfectly. What a nuisance that the NDP isn’t still a finge party.

Ha! Thanks John.
Ms. May name drops…
Mr. Ball fact drops
Come now John! not all Canadians understand or have heard the MAY Loon call.. She has been saying the same thing since her mother’s Anti-nuclear rants. Those who don’t know have an IQ that matches their shoe size. Even the CBC should know that “Boring” is not a broadcasting best practice…
May needs to be played up as the Spawn has been failing in his only useful function in pulling support from the NDP. Lizzie needs her debate and Harper needs a stronger Green Party to split the wacko vote.
Harper needs to drop these flaccid “He’s just not ready” ads and go after Mulcair who is the real threat. How about: “The NDP have bankrupted every province they have been allowed to govern and their federal brothers are no different”.
I would just LOVE to see a debate in which only Justin and Lizzie May show up!
It would be the only time in history a TV program had a “minus” rating.
“Harper needs to drop these flaccid “He’s just not ready” ads and go after Mulcair who is the real threat.”
YES. Implied is that at some time Junior Trudeau will be ready.
In a pig’s eye says I. Junior Trudeau will always be ready, but never up to the Task.
Just as well we can hardly understand Lizzy anyway – after a couple of organic fair trade shooters her speech is slurred and incoherent. Who’s her PR adviser Foster Brooks?

On three related points (“fair-play rules for thee, but hypocrisy is just fine for me”):
– I note with great interest that the leader of the fringiest of fringe parties in this election, one Kathleen Wynne, leader of the Liberal Party of, you know, Ontario, has weighed in on the “early” election call (the date’s only been know for about four years or so), criticizing Mr. Harper’s decision as a “waste of taxpayer money”.
She knows quite a bit about “wasting taxpayer money”, of course. Man, she’s good at it, as we all know: certainly the best this Province has ever seen — even better than Bob “I like high taxes” Rae (our family pet nickname for Mr. Rae, from his stunningly infamous remark during the 1995 televised debate, when as NDP premier, he was up against Mike Harris).
And that, naturally, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Ms. Wynne’s hypocrisy: everyone in this Province will well remember the “carpet bombing” (shag broadloom, really, 1970s-style; the latest media catch-phrase against Mr. Harper) that the Ontario PCs took, to Ms. Wynne’s benefit, from the public-sector unions in this province, including the OPPA, whose participation was disgusting, to be honest. To the point, in fact, that a cousin of mine down the street, who’s solidly Conservative, got so many e-mails and mailers from her former public-sector union, that she was almost too scared to vote.
Actually, if I was a member of an even more fringy outfit (the “Council of Canadians”, say) than the fringiest of fringe parties to this election (the Ontario Liberals), and believed in conspiracy theories, I might think that she was targeted (maybe they have spotters, and maybe they know where you live), as she had the smallest of Conservative signs on her lawn. I’m not, and I don’t, and I don’t, naturally, but as those of Central and Eastern European descent well know, denunciation of neighbours, friends, family, etc. is a tactic well-used in former times… Not to worry, anyone, I won’t be litigating on this subject.
Quite apart from which, everybody knows that “voter suppression” is the particular purview of Mr. Harper; couldn’t possibly happen from any other source, could it?
So, as I see it, Mr. Harper has a particularly good case to make, having banned corporate donations entirely, around, er, “levelling the playing field” by eliminating third-party advertising, including that from third-parties which are sympathetic to his policies. As I understand it, the so-called “early election call” would effectively eliminate it all, including from “off-shore” financed third-parties, and I think everyone ’round here knows what that means.
– And speaking of “levelling the playing field”, I also note that the former Chief Electoral Officer of Canada, Jean-Pierre Kingsley, was out in the last day or two banging-on about same, which he is known to do, demanding that Mr. Harper stick to the 37-day writ period, and that third-parties voluntarily desist from advertising in the meantime. Sorry, just picking myself up off the floor and wiping the tears from eyes over this particular episode of “Just for Laughs: Gags”.
– And, finally, speaking of “changing the rules” for elections, as Mr. Trudeau charged Mr. Harper with the other day, I guess it’s perfectly okay to propose the complete re-writing of the Constitution of one of the only successful democracies in the world, just so, um, you can win. I’ve never really been able to handle two episodes of the “Big Bang Theory” in a row, just so you know.
That was as usual excellent analysis.
Another point with regard to Leisuresuit Larry’s accusations of the rules being changed…
“propose the complete re-writing of the constitution”
If I recall wasn’t he the one that needed the last liberal leadership contest extended so that his team would have more time to organize their supporters?
When we have supposedly smart professionals like teachers and nurses who are forced to belong to unions taking voting direction from union leaders we have a major problem in this democracy. It is the unions who are making demands that are, and will, kill jobs across the board and wreck our economy.
We all need to be very concerned when a political party sides with and becomes beholden to a union consortium who in turn tell their members to support them. This is bullying, gross interference in our right to a free vote in a democracy. There should be a law against this practice, this is bordering on communistic tactics.
PM to visit GG soon today. Writ to drop?
If anyone is considering donating to the CPC, a good time might be NOW.
Liz, while I resent my union spending my dues money for a variety of anti-Harper activities, I must admit that I am grateful to them for keeping me up to date and assisting my own lobbying activities. Every time they come up with a new campaign — keeping the mandatory long-form census, fighting Bills C-351 or C-377, or some other agit-prop — they helpfully send me a draft letter to send to my MP and the relevant cabinet minister. It only takes a minute to make some minor edits in the letter to express my support for the government’s action and to encourage them further to eliminate burdensome bureaucracy, keep taxes low, enhance individual and religious liberty, etc.
Not only that, but my bags of flour, sugar, coffee, etc. are all kept safely closed by the little red “Stop Harper” wristbands they hand out
Justin, the poor bastard, he got his father’s looks, and his mother’s brains.
