Election 2011: Have You Heard The One ‘Bout Izzy Hirji?

Well, the joke’s on you, Harper. Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Toronto Star, 2011;

Izzy Hirji was one of several hundred students who gathered outside a Conservative Party campaign event in Guelph to encourage his young peers to get out and vote — for whomever they wanted — in the upcoming election.
The 22-year-old veterinary student at the University of Guelph was then kicked out of the event because he had been part of the peaceful mob, which party officials had apparently viewed as protesters.

That’s the tip of the iceberg. Great digging at The Black Rod.
Update – Izzy Hirji responds in the comments.

The First American Prime Minister, With White Supremacists

David Akin;

Liberal candidate called aboriginals “Featherheads”, says they’re lazy. Over to you , Mr. Ignatieff.

Robert Fife chokes“Ignatieff orders immediate inquiry into Lib candidate Andre Forbes who once headed Assoc of Whites.”
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!

“I think we’re in a very bad place when you’ve got a prime minister who does a background check on his audience, at a democratic crowd, and doesn’t seem to do a background check on the people he hires in the Prime Minister’s Office, like Mr. Carson.”

Who’s the knuckledragger now, Bob?

Any Time, Jack’s Place

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Michael Ignatieff, Apr.1“Canadians truly deserve to see us go face to face in a contest of ideas, values and very different visions for our country. That is what democracy is all about.”
Montreal Gazette, Apr.1If Canadians find themselves being governed by a Liberal-NDP-Bloc Québécois coalition following the May election […] Only 27 per cent of the poll’s respondents said they’d want Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff to be top dog, compared with …. 59 per cent who said Layton.

Good Luck With That Strathcona Seat, Jack

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Jack Layton, March 26th“Because here in Edmonton, everybody knows, only New Democrats defeat Conservatives,”
Jack Layton, March 31st“Under Stephen Harper, every single Quebecker is sending roughly $75 a year to subsidize dirty fossil fuel producers”.
I’ve got an email in to Grant McMurray to ask him what he meant by that.

A reply!

I have forwarded your request to our campaign team. I am busy with other aspects of the campaign and not with following the media.
Hope that helps,
Grant

Find Your Liberal Candidate

Continued.

I live in James Moore’s riding of Port Moody-Weswood-Port Coquitlam, and wondered who the Liberal candidate is, and discovered there isn’t one. I thought that odd. It also seemed that there sure weren’t many Liberals running in BC. So I started checking out who is running for the Liberals in every region across the country. According to the Liberals’ website, they are only running 229 candidates in 308 ridings. In fact, unless I’ve made a serious error somewhere, I’ve found that the only province that the Liberals are running a full-slate of candidates is New Brunswick!
Here are the numbers I’ve found. The Liberals of running in:
19 of 36 ridings in BC
14 of 28 in Alberta
8 of 14 in Saskatchewan
7 of 14 in Manitoba
101 of 106 in Ontario
50 of 75 in Quebec
10 of 10 in New Brunswick
10 of 11 in Nova Scotia
3 of 4 in PEI
6 of 7 in Newfoundland
0 of 1 in the Yukon
1 of 1 in the NWT
0 of 1 in Nunavut
Why is the media not talking about this?

Because it requires math, is my guess.
