“He is full of shit, frankly. I mean, who do you think you are? You show up, and three years later you are going to be the mayor of Winnipeg. And that doesn’t work out, so, that’s okay, I’ll be the member of Parliament?” Martin told HuffPost.
Martin said his challenger settled on the Liberals only because he thought that party gave him better chances of winning. “That makes you a political slut, too.”
Pat Martin is an NDP UNION whore
Ouellette compares himself to Louis Riel. Is he a murdering, treasonous, bastard who is a common thief, kidnapper, and heretic? He sure thinks a lot of himself.
Errrrr……but aren’t sluts good now?
Pat should check his song sheet.
We should demand he apologize to sluts for comparing them to politicians.
OK, I’ll be the first to say it but I’m sure not the last.
Can you imagine the accusations of RACISM the msm and their hand-picked talking heads would be peddling if Martin wore the CPC colors? This would be leading CBC’s headlines.
Pat Martin should be ignored, he’s a piece of $hitttt. Not saying much for the people who continue to support him….
Watching trashy power and politics this morning and saw scrolling at the bottom of the screen a nugget that CBC seized upon… reading GOP candidate, Dr. Ben Carson, states US president should not be a Muslim. What do you do when those you need to demonize are black. Found it !!
There was about 4 or 5 other issues scrolling during that time. This one was important enough for the state broadcaster to include. All the while the main show, P and P, had a 3 party sanctimony competition over who was going to be the most reckless in the so-called refugee situation.
Glad Carson is making sense. It would be way too much to ask for this stuff to backfire on the CBC et al.
One of the quandaries of Modern Kanuk politics is the entrenched media idea that Pat Martin is some sort of elder Canadian statesman, an oracle of wisdom and common sense to which we must all pay heed – I have no idea where this figment started but we see it endlessly repropagated in the fartcatcher media.
The public record differs vastky from the media narrative on the “honorable?” Pat Martin, who has proven to be chroninc foul-mouthed, bigoted inflammatory Ahole, who when not spewing some hate filled vitriol at his opponents is engaged in some intolerant musing.
Martin is Canada’s most prominent talking sphincter.
Martin has issues!
Robert Falcon Ouelette will win this riding handily. Ouellette was very popular in this area of the city during his mayoral run. He reflects the demography of the riding. Besides, Pat Martin hasn’t done a damned thing for this riding.
I would love to see the end of Pat Martin’s political career. Despite party ups and downs the political spectrum of this country is drifting right.
NDP seats are going Liberal, Liberal seats are going Conservative. Candidates that win are drifting right. Candidates that lose are drifting left. The Liberals under Trudeau are far better then the Liberals under Dion. The NDP under Mulcair is more to the right then the NDP under Layton. The Harper hustle has dragged everyone rightward. Hopefully he gets one more win, just to entrench the success.
Martin’s raving reminds me of a scene from Blazing Saddles where Harvey Korman shouts in panic to his elected colleagues, “We got to protect our phoney baloney jobs, gentlemen!”
It’s odd that two of the poorest,most dead-end Ridings in Canada have long been represented Federally by the NDP,Pat Martin and Libby Davies, (now retired). And Pat Martin has been able to work with a friendly Provincial NDP government for years.
One would think that voters would one day wise up to the fact that the only progress these MP’s make is for themselves and the constituents be damned, but I guess when a big percentage of the voters have “substance abuse” problems,they aren’t very good at much more than following the loudest leader.
I suppose the Indian figures he can cash in on the Manitoba Riel fantasy, good luck to him, he can’t be any worse than Pat Martin,whose language the media always describes as “colorful” rather than the correct terms, coarse,crude, obscene or vulgar.
btw, I wonder how Ouelette feels about Justin Trudeau as his leader,when he,Oulette, had to work so hard to get where he is and lived a life of deprivation, while his Boss never had to to anything more than smile in his entire coddled life.
C,mon, Marcel, Pat Martin has done a great job representing Salt Spring Island!
DanBc :
Good one!!!
Ha ha ha ha…
I don’t want to cheer for a Liberal, but I will think well of whoever causes Pat Martin to have to look for a job.
and Suzuki is considered the most trusted Canadian, go figure. The is a whole lot more brain dead in kanukistan than most in here realize
I notice the NDP shout out machine is hard at work; any way Martin just can’t stand intolerant people.
Unfortunately, Martin is fully vested in the MP pension plan. He will never hurt for money. Doesn’t that run contrary to being a TRUE Marxist/Socialist?
Shammy, wherever the Dip Whine Machine is running, just point out Martin’s main residence on SS Island, and ask who he TRULY represents.
The NDP?
Winnipeg?
Socialists?
Champagne socialists on SS Island (and there’s TONS of them)?
Or, more properly, HimSelf!
No apparently they (socialists) screw poor people because now they’re “moderate.” They don’t mind making the poor poorer as long as the rich are less rich. Plus they get cushy jobs where math is not required. Just emotion for impoverishing the poorest of us, choking back the tears; and largesse for their union buddies.
For most Canadians, Stephen Harper is the worst candidate for PM, except for all the doofuses who seek to replace him, with their Swiss cheese budgets, stealth carbon taxation, and enabling of separatists. That’s the leadership they offer, throw taxpayers money at taxpayer problems, but then again they’re not Harper because they believe in social justice. What do they offer as a real and needed alternative? Oh let’s not talk about that; we just need to trust them because Canadians want Harper gone. Newsflash: lots of people don’t like Harper but don’t want him gone. How many Canadians actually know the name of the NDP leader? How many of them believe tax increases are the way to enhanced prosperity?
If they can sustain this for another month, then maybe they’ll hold Harper to minority, assuming they get to continue shouting down Harper. It’s going to be hard to shout down the juggernaut of media and announcements. Harper has an actual real time record to run on, the other leaders haven’t got a clue, but they have “projections,” based on what can only be charitably called dubious assumptions.
How long can the mediocracy run interference, trying to keep the government off message, evidenced by their ludicrous “old Canadian stock” outrage? They’ll also have to enable the shout downs of Harper, to maintain the same disgraceful decorum of Mulcair and Trudeau, refusing to engage Harper on policy (guess why?), instead shouting him down.
The Mulcair NDP and Trudeau Liberals are on the same page, they’ll do well until they run out of money generated by those who contribute to the economy, the people who run small businesses, (Trudeau says to avoid taxes) and the richer people who own companies, provide jobs and keep the economy healthy. These are the people who will be taxed out of business. The workers who keep those businesses running will be in the bread lines under the NDP or the Liberals, God forbid they ever have the opportunity to form a coalition.
No disagreement with me.
Problem is, PMSH and the CPC is running against 4 other parties, the Dips, Fibs, Greentards and the MEDIA Party. Its a tough slog when they manufacture stories against you the “Old Stock” horse hockey story for one.
We still have 4 weeks to go, and unfortuantely, PMSH is only offering more of the same. That’s good enough for you and me and his core 30%, but, its not enough for others.
Let’s hope he’s still got more to offer the LIV set, as only 4% from the soft support of the others is required to go over the top.
Maybe a tax cut, a significant one will do it, a 3% GST? Cut our income tax rate 1% across the board, or raise the brackets?
Otherwise, we will be stuck for several years of minorities, waiting for the Dips and Fibs to REALLY mess things up before the country gets wise. Carbon taxes, here we come!
Not at all. Karl Marx himself never made his own living, he just sponged off his friend who had inherited money.
Well…
I bow down to no man, woman, child or otherwise self-classiified/self-identified/self-inflicted person, on anything, with respect to my opinion about Mr. Martin.
But doesn’t anyone but me find this a bit rich:
“Robert-Falcon Ouellette is a 38-year-old Cree, a married father of five, with a PhD and two master’s degrees, and who served in the Canadian Armed Forces and the naval reserves for 19 years. He arrived in Winnipeg four years ago to take a position as the program director for the aboriginal focus programs at the University of Manitoba and launched himself into the city’s mayoral race last year. He came in third, without any organization, and was deemed a Cinderella story.”
I find the likelihood that lengthy pony-tails are allowed in HM Canadian Forces doubtful, even in the naval reserve, but there are many more qualified commentators than me on that point, I’m certain.
But, shall we do the math (I know that math is hard for Mr. President)?
He’s 38, according to the article, and arrived at University of Winnipeg four years ago, which would make him 34.
A PhD takes seven to ten years, based on original research and a whole lot of individual hard work, after graduation at the Master’s level. So, let’s assume that this particular gentlemen went directly into a PhD program, after initial graduation from a Master’s degree, and successfully completed his PhD in seven years. That would make him 27.
Normally, in order to get a position (there ain’t any, according to Glenn Reynolds) in a university, you would need to take a post-doctoral fellowship, which can take several years (let’s call it three years), which make him 24.
But, according to the article, he took two Master’s degrees. So let’s call the second Master’s degree 1 year (which would make him 23) or, more usually, 2 years (which would make him 22).
So, where, exactly, does he have time to get married and have five children? After going to “private school”. And actively serve, for a time, apparently, in the CAF?
Sounds like an investigation in the offing to me: maybe Sheila Gunn Reid, or maybe Ezra.
By the way, I don’t care who wins, so long as it’s messy. Or, as in the case of Stalingrad, or in the case of Iran and Iraq: “It’s a pity they both can’t lose.”
Which, of course they can: vote Conservative!
“He will never hurt for money”.
Unless his runaway mouth gets him sued… again.
Any bet’s he’s a slow learner?
Either way. Winnipeg center will once again get what it deserves.
