Second Annual Middle Finger Of The Apocalypse Award Winner ~ Stephen Joseph Harper

2012-02-02T12:45:00.014-04:00

For the Second Year Running

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Joseph Harper
Captures the Prestigious

"Middle Finger of the Apocalypse Award"
&

Amazingly this Year it was Unanimous

You may remember that he won it in a nearly unanimous vote in it's first year of presentation back in 2010 for his continuous and persistent hard work in the field of Democratic Contempt. But this year there were no real competitors, and he won it without even a single dissenting opinion, partly due to the recent passing of Osama Bin Laden and Moammar Gadhafi, both of whom captured several votes each in 2010, it's inaugural year.

He was therefore, able to run completely away with the title this past year as he and his cronies were brilliant in their bid to bring new meaning to the words 'intransigence' and 'recalcitrance' in 2011, when he was yet again successful in keeping the Canadian citizenry as well as it's Parliament and all of the Officers of said parliament completely without relevant information.

Not only has he once again been rewarded with the MFA but he reached another coveted milestone when his government (actually renamed in his honour as "The Harper Government" back in late 2010) failed to honestly answer even a single simple question for an unprecedented and world record setting period of just over five years.

Couple that with his amazing ability to convince Canadians that he is a Christian, in spite of his lack of humanity, where he even goes so far as to feign a rather convincing and fervent belief in 'The Rapture', and his selection was an easy choice. It should however, be noted that a belief in the Rapture, is not strictly speaking a pre-requisite under the rules, but given the spirit of the award and it's connection to the Apocalypse it adds weight to the theme and he may therefore be in a position to repeat again next year and for many years to come.

His impressive work with Israel whom he has undeniably helped bring within reach of a huge and glorious holy war with Iran and his innate ability to nurture conflict and division on a massive scale wherever he goes, has endeared him to all who long to see the world end in a fiery rain, whether heaven sent or by the hand of man.

From the Editorial staff of T.T.S.M.

from all of those out there with no respect whatsoever for democracy or fair play:
Congratulations Mr. Harper.

OPINION PIECE ~ Stephen Joseph Harper is a Coward!

2012-01-27T23:38:00.048-04:00

IMO

YES. In my opinion, he has always been a coward. He will remain a coward. He needs to start actually hearing actual LOUD CRITICISM from those with a voice. And we have to speak while we still have a voice. We need to tell Canada that a coward is just not good enough to lead a country of brave citizens.

S.O.S.

<p>&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Loading...&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;</p>

This 88 year old Canadian had No trouble speaking her mind during the last election when Harper was "promising" to help Seniors. She saw right through it.

I weigh in at CBC on line ~ Question of the day ~ Will this affect you?

TTSM ~ Comment at CBC.ca Question of the Day.

And to get that Louder message out there we Canadians have to be seen as a lot more brave than we have been in the past. We need to move out past Facebook and Twitter and be active all over the virtual world, and be heard in the real world much more often and much more Loudly than most Canadians now are.

A few days ago, Mr. Harper spent a few uncomfortable hours forcing himself to spend an entire business day listening to First Nations Leaders. He gave no idea of any policy changes, nor was anything at all decided during those very short 'meetings'. He had managed to tell the world a few days prior to this conference that he was not sure if he would be able to spend the whole day. That he is a very busy man with a country to 'run' (a more honest word is ruin) and that the First Nations Leaders could always talk to their Conservative MPs.

Not only is it generally impossible to get any face time with those so-called Conservatives in his caucus, but what would be the point? They do not answer questions. They do not offer solutions. I don't think they have any answers. They do not represent a solution. They are no braver than Mr. Harper.

He has yet again, successfully kicked the can down the road a ways. He has for now, just by being his usual slippery self, managed to put off the looming questions over such huge issues as First Nations; education, property rights, mineral rights, health care, drinking water, housing, etc. etc. etc.

He has again pulled the wool over our eyes, this time by focusing the Main Stream Media attention on his attendance at the First Nations Conference, and only on his attendance, and asking nothing of him at all. They all agreed that he had put in a full six hour day and literally told us that we should be as pleased as punch that this man had actually been there.

For reasons that simply do not add up, they have given him yet another day-pass and allowed him to run well actually to fly away in opulent luxury to the 2012 World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland where he spoke yesterday. He should be held responsible for his sinking of the Kelowna Accord and his complete snow job on the Attawapiskat crisis.

The Cowardly Lyin' Narcissist

AT DAVOS he spoke briefly about how he has been Canada's saviour and how he represents Canada's strength. He literally lectured the rest of the world on how they should have done what Canada has done to stave off the current deep downturn in the economy.

Once again though he failed to give the credit to those who deserve it. He is not the reason for canada's relative stability. He inherited it from the Liberals and had it been up to him, none of the safeguards that are in play in our banking system would still be in place. In My opinion, he is a fraud as an economist, and he is a fraud as a leader. And that my friends is an opinion that is becoming more widely held. It is about time.

Harper speaks at Davos Switzerland

He was, as you can see above, unable to stick to the theme of the conference and having in his own mind, made himself look like a hero, he turned his attention homeward and took the time to make a statement or two that can only have been directed at those of us back in Harper Land. His words were a shock to most of us. He spoke about his new plans (again with absolutely no details) to tamper with Canada's Old age supplements and as rumour has it, also our age of eligibility. He likes to talk to us from a safe distance. It is the mark of a coward after all.

How Secure is HIS Pension?

If this development worries you,
this Petition is to be presented
in the next session of Parliament
which opens Monday, Jan, 30th, 2012.

Stephen Harper Missing in Action Again ~ Skips First Minister's Conference on Health Care

Blink and You will Miss him!

Stephen Harper Missing in Action Again ~ Skips First Minister's Conference on Health Care

2012-01-17T23:04:00.300-04:00

This is Nothing New!

Harper Has Been Ducking Issue After Issue
For Over 15 Years.

The latest odd incident in the story of his abandonment of Health Care which came to a head this past weekend. He failed to show up or even send a representative to the first ministers meetings in Victoria, B.C.

Last month, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty enraged premiers from Manitoba east (now only the Alberta Premier is is on board) with what some described as a take-it-or-leave-it plan. The scheme calls for current spending levels of six per cent annually until 2017, followed by increases tied to the rate of economic growth.

Those increases are expected to be about four per cent annually, but Flaherty said they will never drop below three per cent.

But this is not all about money. The conference has Always been a way to bring the leaders of all 14 governmental levels to the table and Never before has a Prime minister had the nerve to miss one.

It seems the federal government intends to limit its role to signing blank cheques with no strings attached and no accountability. If rumours on the Hill are true, once the current arrangement expires Harper may replace cash transfers entirely with tax credits.

The Harper Government has set in motion a strategy that will quite possibly lead to the unravelling of Canada's national health system. All Harper has to do is nothing. By abdicating the essential federal responsibilities in health care, the system will fragment on its own into 14 separate pieces. One also must keep in mind that the Federal Government only supplies 20% of Health care funding (down from 50% over the last 30 years or so) and that means that the 6% represents only a 1.2% increase in overall funding.

Couple that with the yet unknown costs of the omnibus crime bill (most of which are to be passed off to the provinces and territories) and the cost of the Harper Governments eventual purchase of 65 F35 stealth fighters, which some estimate will cost up to $60 Billion and uncertainty abounds.

It is not just the Prime Minister who is in hiding. The Minister of health is silent and all the costs above are basically unknown as well. Harper hides and he hides all the numbers while he does so.

Google: Stephen Harper No-Show!

$10 Says he is Also ^NOT in Attawapiskat

Harper doesn't fool anyone when he pretends to be an economist.

A Master of Disguise
and deceit, he's considered more elusive than most other weasels.

See if you can spot him hidden in this candid picture.

Here he is having a little Halloween fun and has disguised himself, in a well rehearsed "I'm a human" Costume, dressing up as a second rate economist on Halloween.

What a sense of humour, eh? Stephen Harper? An Economist? Seriously?

Who would ever fall for a trick like that?

Canada's Liberals Vow to Legalize Pot ~ Bob Rae Weighs In

2012-01-16T03:34:00.052-04:00

"Let's Face Up to it Canada!

The War on Drugs Has Been a Complete Bust"

~ Bob Rae

The Liberal Party of Canada has finally resolved to legalize pot.

Huffington Post Canada ~ Participate in Poll or Read More

Over seventy-seven per cent of delegates at the Liberals' biennial convention in Ottawa in a vote that can only be described as overwhelming, told their party's leadership Sunday morning that they want a future Liberal government to legalize marijuana. That number is fairly consistent with any poll taken anywhere in Canada. Canadians are tired of the war on drugs and many are worried about Bill C-10 now part of the Harper Government's War on Pragmatism.

Their interim leader Bob Rae acknowledged the war on drugs hasn’t worked, but told reporters the party's caucus would have to study the implications of the resolution.

"Frankly, the status quo doesn't work and that's what needs to change,” Rae said. “The Liberal party is saying that the current laws do not work and that we need a new direction.”

“It’s now up to us to take that resolution and see exactly what it will mean in terms of policy, because there are some practical questions that we have to look at,” Rae added, saying in French that one such issue would be how to control the supply of legalized pot.

Rae insisted he was completely at ease defending the principles of the resolution and that he would work with the membership on the issue in the months and years ahead as the party drafts its next election platform.

“I accept that it is the will of the party that was expressed today and we will continue to work together,” ~ Rae

And in his Closing Remarks, he added:

"Now that we have decided to legalize Marijuana,

We Will Be Even Happier!"

I am lucky enough to have met Bob Rae in person, and had a quiet moment or two with him during the last Election Campaign in Moncton N.B. and I have to admit that at that meeting, the subjects of Crime, Harper's War on Pragmatism, and the War on Drugs all came up. I told him that I was also against Harper's War on Canada. I told him that I wanted to launch a "War on Stupid", and We had a Great laugh!

You see, he has a wonderful sense of humour and besides, he already knew that I had the Government of Harper Land squarely in my sights. I mean seriously, They mess up almost every day and had already seen the Back of that nice shirt! Lol!

Join Crush Now!

Do You Need a Little More Convincing?

Even this Conservative American Judge has Figured it Out.

Surprise!
A Majority of Canadians Agree!

"The prohibition and a 40-year-long “War on Drugs” have led to pot being more widely accessible, taxpayers considerably poorer, gangs richer and thousands upon thousands of otherwise law-abiding citizens branded “criminal.”

Another 50,000 or so Canadians are busted every year for possession; throw in 20,000 or so traffickers and producers and this so-called war is costing us as much as $400 million annually in law enforcement, court and corrections.

Bearing in mind that a million dollars a year buys roughly 12 new cops, 14 teachers or public health nurses, ask yourself: Couldn’t all that money be better spent? " ~ READ MORE:

UPDATE: Harper Government Drops Environmental Ball Again! <>JOE OLIVER CREATES 200,000 More RADICALS<>

INSTANTLY CREATES
200,000 RADICALS!

CBC.ca

Environmental and other "Radical Groups" are trying to block trade and undermine Canada's economy, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said Monday.

Oliver's comments come one day before federal regulatory hearings begin on whether to approve Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline, to deliver crude from Alberta's oil sands to Kitimat, B.C., for shipment to Asia. ~ More than 4,300 people have signed up to address the proposed pipeline over the next 18 months.

"Unfortunately, there are environmental and other radical groups that would seek to block this opportunity to diversify our trade," Oliver said in an open letter. "Their goal is to stop any major project no matter what the cost to Canadian families in lost jobs and economic growth. No forestry. No mining. No oil. No gas. No more hydro-electric dams."

Oliver says the groups "threaten to hijack our regulatory system to achieve their radical ideological agenda," stack the hearings with people to delay or kill "good projects," attract "jet-setting" celebrities and use funding from "foreign special interest groups."

Windsor Live @Twain ~ Here's something for ya to ponder as you work the blog.

"Why does the Harper Government feel it is OK to intervene in the affairs of other nations such as dictating economic policy and austerity measures that would affect millions of Europeans and bombing Libya to assassinate the head of state resulting in major civilian casualties in the thousands? Not to mention the additional economic sanctions against Syria and the economic sanctions against Iran to impose regime change.

PLUS his recent threat directed towards the US Administration that said the Harper Regime would gladly "sell" their tar sand oil to China if the US didn't want it..."

Twain @Windsor Live: ~ Well, Windsor Live, as a reasonable man who loves Canada, I'd have to say that he has a double standard, among other issues. He does dabble in everything and then cry like a whiny school-yard bully when someone not in Canada tries to influence our environmental outcomes.

As a Radical, I would add that: He Is Clearly Insane!

Here is the kind of

'Radical Thinking'

being Foisted upon Us by
Radical Environmentalists!

Oil Sands Pipeline Battle Turns Ugly

In an open letter defending a controversial project, Canada's natural resources minister accuses a pipeline's opponents of colluding with 'radicals' and 'jet-setting celebrities'

"Canada (*meaning the Harper Government) let loose an extraordinary rant against opponents of a controversial project to pump tar sands crude to Pacific Coast ports on Monday, accusing campaigners of colluding with foreign "radicals" and "jet-setting celebrities" to hijack the government.

The diatribe, which came as an open letter from the natural resources minister Joe Oliver, caused a furore in Canada.

It was seen as a sign of the conservative government's frustration at growing opposition to its efforts to find global markets for its vast reserves of tar sands crude, a type of petroleum deposit found in large quantities in Canada.

Opponents of the project object to over-turning a decades-old moratorium on oil tanker traffic on the British Columbia coastline, running a pipeline through British Columbia's northern wilderness, and sending jobs out of the country".

And, Yes Joe!
There are Some Well Known Voices!

Opposed to the Mega Project

And according to Joe Oliver, that is just not fair, even though we all know that they would be doing the same thing if they could get anyone as well respected as Robert Redford to take their side in the issue. And Again, I remind you that they as the government are supposed to be on our side, and they have obligations to us and not these huge corporations. And even then I will settle for their neutrality, which is my own pipe dream and is not on their agenda.

Bob Rae Slams PM for Discrediting Critics

Intimidating opponents by calling them radicals, anti-Canadian, interferes with environmental process, he says:

"I think it is inappropriate for a minister or a prime minister to interfere and intervene and frankly to intimidate an environmental process as it would be to interfere or intervene in a court case," Rae told reporters at a news conference to announce that rookie Quebec MP Lise St-Denis has jumped from the New Democratic Party to the Liberals.

The Harper government, according to Rae, doesn't understand the limits of its authority and "does not understand the rule of law. It does not respect due process."

Rae also said environmental groups are effectively being threatened with loss of their organization's charitable status. The government has long maintained that it respects the NEB process and that the recent comments aren't directed at the NEB hearings. ~ Read More:

Kennedy Stewart, MP Burnaby-Douglas

“New Democrats believe there is a very different way forward for Canada. We believe all major energy projects should be subject to proper benefit/cost analysis. For example, the oil sands are one of our most precious resources. We should not rush to development just to ship unrefined crude oil to China when Canadians import over 200,000 barrels per day of oil from Europe and the Middle-East. Instead we should focus on our own energy security, making sure we maximize national revenues by refining the oil we need within our own borders.
Perhaps more importantly, we believe government should use deeply participatory processes to build national plans for housing, transportation, employment, energy and other essential policy areas. These processes should be the antithesis of the top-down, back-room deals made by the Conservatives. They would also ensure we move forward together as a country and policy benefits the many rather than the few.”

60 Environment Canada Scientists and other Researchers
Given their Notice

OTTAWA citizen — Environment Canada is sending notices to 60 scientists and other researchers

that their jobs are being declared surplus.

"Gary Corbett, president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, confirmed his union was notified by the department that surplus notices would be going out this week. They are fallout from the department's announcement last August that it would be cutting or reassigning 776 people — which is about 10 per cent of the workforce.

But Corbett said the department is under "strict orders" not to reveal precisely what work these surplus scientists are doing. They broadly include engineers, scientists, biologists, climatologists, chemical analysts from across the country. They work in areas such as pollution, monitoring water quality, climate research.

"This exercise is all about money and a government obsessed with the bottom line," said Corbett: "While the government pays lip service to protecting the interests of all Canadians, it continues to target science-based departments, the front line, when it comes to protecting our environment and health of our citizens," he said.

Elizabeth May To Joe Oliver

By ~ Elizabeth May on 9 January 2012 - 3:10pm

Dear Joe,

Your letter caught my attention. I respect you and like you a lot as a colleague in the House. Unfortunately, I think your role as Minister of Natural Resources has been hijacked by the PMO spin machine. The PMO is, in turn, hijacked by the foreign oil lobby. You are, as Minister of Natural Resources, in a decision-making, judge-like role. You should not have signed such a hyperbolic rant.

I have reproduced a short section of your letter. The idea that First Nations, conservation groups, and individuals opposed to the Northern Gateway pipeline are opposed to all forestry, mining, hydro-electric and gas is not supported by the facts. I am one of those opposed to the Northern Gateway pipeline. I do not oppose all development; neither does the Green Party; neither do environmental NGOS; neither do First Nations.

I oppose the Northern Gateway pipeline for a number of reasons, .... Read More

from the

And Now it is My Turn to Weigh in:

The Government clearly needs to realise that it is their duty as the Government of this country to stay neutral during any environmental assessments. They seem to be on the verge of taking, by what seems a lot of force, in my opinion, control of the entire process and openly lobby for the Oil industry at the same time. It seem that if left up to them, Canada’s Natural resources are to be doled out to their friends as Soon as Possible. It is enough to make me question the motive behind this zealous pursuit of Petro Dollars. It is almost as if they realise that they need to sell the damned stuff before it is obsolete. That is after all, their plan for Asbestos.

Good Government takes it’s time and gets it right! Good government would not have all of its ministers lobbying so openly and arrogantly for this project. It is Not supposed to be a Government project. It is supposedly a private sector affair. The Government’s only interest here has to be our interest. It has to be getting this Right!

And it is no secret that I want No one to pipe oil across the Rockies, not now, not ever.

I have less hope that the Athabasca Tar Sands itself will stop being exploited. Although I do believe that it too can be stopped, but certainly not right away. I like the Liberals approach, in that conserving it by not simply extracting it all in a greedy frenzy is the pragmatic alternative. They want to spread its lifeline out and slow it down to a controllable level of development. They actually had a Department called the Ministry of the Environment that was concerned about such things. The NDP wants it (generally) shut down entirely. Although they have weighed in (farther down the page) and in this instance they are also on the progressive track.

I like the slow approach. With that in place, we will necessarily have no choice but to get out of the habit of using the stuff. As we develop new technologies and get them in place, we should soon need less of it, we could more easily see a time when we could stop it. We need to learn to profit along the way from the new developments instead of constantly fighting
with our own citizens just to make a few men rich.

They insist that time is short, but anyone on the street can tell you that Slowing it down and prudent conservation requires NOT cutting another destructive path through the Rockies in order to fire up a lot of Chinese cars.

The Rockies are one of the youngest Mountain Ranges on the planet. They have a long way to fall. They never stop moving. Do these guys not watch The Nature of Things?

The Conservative plan is Clearly insane. There is never anything pragmatic about a rising fascist star like Stephen Harper. Why burn all the oil? Because he is a nutter.

Stephen Harper Prorogues Parliament to Save his Hide~ Two Years later ~ A CANADIAN Re-Awakening

2011-12-28T18:00:00.002-04:00

I want to Remind all of you that the 2nd anniversary of the proroguation to avoid the Afghan Detainee Question is this Friday, the 30th of December. That cowardly event represented Our Government's disdain for us and triggered one of the largest mass awakenings of Canadians on line to date. We were able to mobilize nearly a quarter of a million Canadians in the week that followed and the media was amazed at the response.

Many Facebook groups have been formed by those first on the scene and one of the most interesting and effective of them is this one: Canadians Against Stephen Harper, which can be found at:

http://www.facebook.com/groups/292671928599

Internet politics is Relatively new to Facebook, but a growing phenomena to be sure. It was given a huge boost on this date in 2009. Our Government or at least the only one in it who gets to say anything thought no one would even notice it, not during the week between Christmas and New Years anyway. He was wrong. He usually is.

Commemorate this Anniversary with us and shed some light on the need to get together in groups like this one, who's numbers yet increase and whose founding members were moved to activism, two years ago, by this very act of contempt. I believe it was a veritable Genesis, which will make Friday, as it turns out a re-Genisis.

Seriously, if 'reborn' is a word, so is 'Re-Genesis' .... Lol!

TO PARTICIPATE, SIMPLY INVITE AS MANY OF

YOUR Facebook FRIENDS AS YOU DARE

AND ASK THEM TO DO THE SAME.

I use the word "Dare' because it takes courage to send wake-up calls to those who may prefer to sleep their life away in a dream-state that includes the delusion of a good and caring Government busily working to create a better Canada. .

A MOMENT of Silence followed by a lifetime of speaking Up! ~ I have been able to narrow it down to the Exact Moment when Canadian Liberty died. - Dec 30, 2009 at exactly 13:25:11 EST 2009 (the exact time of the email / press release from the Prime Minister's Office).

DIARY of a CLEPTOCRAT ~ Harper Land as a 'B' Movie

2011-12-26T17:13:00.002-04:00

So, what is a Cleptocrat? (often spelled Kleptocrat)

Loosely defined, he or she is a member of a political organization (Party) that as a matter of policy, attempts to gain and keep power in an effort to rob the economy and extract capital and democracy from the realm.

Such organizations almost always run deficits, because the extraction is relentless and takes precedence over good governance.

The success of Cleptocracies always depends on them having very close connections to those people and corporations (often their backers) who also stand to profit from these policies.

They almost always leave the country deeply in debt, turning it back to others to try and fix. And when, because it is so broken, it does not get fixed, they attempt to blame their successors to regain power and start another cycle. This should sound familiar to most of those who pay attention to such things. The current administration of Harper Land is in my opinion just such an organization.

Here is a Wikipedia document on the subject, and a Blog by CAITI (THe CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF INCOME TRUST INVESTORS) that strongly suggests not only that Stephen Harper is in fact, a Cleptocrat, but that the Main Steam Media (MSM) is complicit in it also by allowing it and by actually helping to cover it up. If you are Not familiar with the Income Trust Scandal, it was harper's first major instance of what amounts, according to CAITI and many others as theft.

So, is our "Great Leader" a Cleptocrat, or is this all just a very bad 'B' Movie?

The 30th of December, 2011 is the 2nd Anniversary of the cowardly "Recalibration" Proroguation. That was the Second time that he ran away and hid from Canadians to avoid losing his hard earned power (and by 'hard earned' I infer that Crime is a messy business) over us. It was met with a strong response on line and it represents, in my opinion, the very 'Genesis' of the on-line political movement now in progress and thriving in Harper Land.

Some of us are celebrating that awakening on that anniversary. Please check back here to get the details as they are made public! I will post a link ASAP! Or join C.R.U.S.H. today to get those details there.

2011-12-24T16:05:00.071-04:00

‎

~ MERRY CRUSHMAS ~

I Searched High and Low for the Perfect Holiday Card for Our "Dear Leader"

It finally occurred to me that he might like something a little more personal and from the heart,

so I weighed my very intense feelings for him and came up with this.

It really manages to encapsulate my sentiments exactly.

Twas the Night Before Crushmas and all over my Wall

I'm thinking up ways to help "Dear Leader" Fall.

He Pisses me off in more ways than one,

And pulling his strings is always great Fun.

So I'll do what I do and I'll do it with Joy.

Before it's all over He'll be my new toy.

I'll not be so careful as good kids would be,

I'll take him and shake him and break him with Glee.

So please come and join me as I get my kicks.

Cause that's how I deal with odd ignorant pricks

Who think they're above us in so many ways.

We'll heel them and cow them and number their days.

We'll gather our voices we'll do it no doubt.

Together we'll raise such a clatter and shout

"Be gone you old Weirdos ~ Be gone you old Fools

Your Party is Over ~ Now We make the Rules!"

And when the old Bugger finally fades out of sight

We'll know that we've done it and won the good fight!

To all a great Crushmas ~ To all a Good Night!

~ Kim Leaman ~ The Twain Shall meet ~ Dec 24, 2011

Again, I invite you to join the fight
Keep Canada Canadian

by joining us at C.R.U.S.H.

And It would not be a Holiday Greeting

if it did not get delivered
to the PM and the PMO, Lol!

And to all a Good Night!

Paying For Canadian Bacon ~ Senator Mike Duffy Takes Us For a Ride

2011-12-22T03:39:00.008-04:00

Disdain For Duffy is Nothing New

This is outrageous.

The Taxpayers of Canada are being taken for a ride on the Harper Land Express and are being forced to pay the Conservative Party of Canada for the cost of 'Hiring' Senator Mike Duffy to go about the country and promote their candidates in the 2011 Federal Election campaign. And this just a couple of months after the Harper Conservatives copped a plea to avoid having four of their own charged with tampering with the funding in the 2006 election. They Plead guilty to Election fraud to get their minions off paid an insultingly small fine and now we are being forced to pay one of their most vocal and distasteful minions to dupe us into giving them a majority government? That does ^NOT sound right.

I must have misread it.

An excerpt:

" Party spokesman Fred DeLorey said Duffy was not paid any fees to attend events and said no Senate resources were used. "During the campaign, Senator Duffy was very helpful and went where he was asked to go, by both national and local campaigns," DeLorey said in an email.

Among Duffy's whistle-stops was a trip to Yellowknife to support Conservative candidate Sandy Lee in the riding of Western Arctic. That event proved controversial as a local radio station claimed it had been refused an interview unless it submitted a written list of questions in advance.

The Lee campaign paid Duffy $209 under the category of "miscellaneous expenses or non-candidate travel."

She lost out in the May 2 vote to incumbent New Democrat Dennis Bevington."

No, it appears that I read it correctly. So who exactly is this Mike Duffy Character? Check out this video of a drunken Mike Duffy, "off to the RCMP BALL and in a foul mood.

Isn't he charming when he is drunk?

Perhaps the most telling video that I have seen is this little bit of footage of Mike back when he was still looking for that Senate seat that he now fills to overflow. Watch as Elizabeth May makes ground pork out of the then Mr. Duffy.

So, as you can see, we are once again having to pay our own government to misinform us.

I give you Mr. Duffy telling us all to gather around as he is about to destroy Stephane Dion with the dubious help of Steve Murphy of CTV Halifax. Watch as he gloats and puffs himself up knowing that his long sought Senate seat was finally a sure thing. We are all still paying for this obnoxious Stunt. I refuse to show the Dion Assassination, but here is Duffy actually salivating over his part in it. Note that it is clearly labelled as being only 5 Days TO ELECTION

Finally: This is the kind of sycophant that Duffy has always been. He was never a journalist, just a shill. Watch now to see what it is that we will actually be asked to pay for. Here he shills as a deranged Conservative avatar and in the process, making big bucks to spread a message that he knows is not true. He does not seem to remember Paul Martin, but credits the Harper Government with saving us from the Banks. What a maroon!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Senator Jim Munson and he told me that when he and Mike Duffy were both employed at CTV he once heard Mike say that he would be willing to back PM Chretien as long as he would eventually become a Senator. He was willing to do anything then and he is willing to do anything now, so I now know that it was not an exaggeration.

Merry Christmas Mr. Harper ~ Liberal MP Roger Cuzner

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY FRIENDS!

Text: (reproduced from Liberal Party of Canada website)

"Twas the week before Christmas and all over the Hill
The humbuggish Tories were imposing their will.
The stockings in Muskoka were stuffed to the brim
But life for First Nations remained woefully grim.

And at the North Pole, Santa's problems abound
There was much work to do but no workers around.
How can we do Christmas with no reindeer or elves?
The sleigh is a wreck, there's no toys on the shelves.

Costs have just spiraled, the elves threaten strike
They won't work this Christmas without a pay hike.
Tory payroll taxes have taken their toll
Now unemployed elves populate the North Pole.

Federal money for deer feed and vets
Has just been reprofiled for big jails and jets.
Heartbroken children would spring from their beds
For the first Christmas ever shut down by the feds.

No presents for Christmas, Tories felt the frustration
So they saddled the elves with back-to-work legislation.
No reindeer or sleigh to fly our roof-topper?
No problem; just send in a Cormorant chopper.
The moral I share: Tories lack rhyme or reason
Nonetheless, all the best for a great Christmas season!"

Canada's Environment Minister Schools Justin Trudeau on Environmental Science

2011-12-16T15:38:00.002-04:00

What is Ozone? The Right honourable Peter Kent explains it to us. This guy really knows his stuff. He didn't even need to read the answer. It is so reassuring to know that this man is on the case. The environment needs men who understand it if we are to continue as a species.

Thank you sincerely Mr. Kent, for your intelligent answer to this vital question.

So, what is the Ozone layer?

Update: While we are here, we should look at this as well from 2009 ....At this point, he had another job as minister of State in charge of Abandoning Canadians. Now he abandons the Environment. Anyway, watch this and ask yourself. Is he being honest here?

Harper's Hideous Helper ~ Harange Hides Horrific Hatred

2011-12-14T12:20:00.001-04:00

This Just In:
Egotistic ~ Zionist ~ Racist ~ Annoying

Loser Endlessly Vindicates Anal Nutbar Tyrant

Now who on earth could that be? And what gives this nasty little man the right and the nerve to call others bigots? Seriously?

Listen very carefully to this amazing man spin his (what I see as racist) web of idiomatic and ideological language. He must use the word 'Indian' a dozen times, but I did not and will not be counting. He is so behind in his thinking that he makes the very same mistake attributed to Christopher Columbus over 500 years ago.

He does not seem to know where India is on a map of the world, but he knows who does not deserve to own a big-screen TV.
What would someone stuck indoors for four months at a time, in a shack surrounded by frozen air and round-the-clock darkness, with eleven or so others, huddled together for warmth, need with entertainment?

His attitude sucks. His politics suck. The fact that he has a voice and so many do not, also sucks.

His thing, he claims, is free speech. I do not believe that for a minute. His thing is money. His thing is Zionism. His thing is Conservatism. His thing is free publicity. His thing is litigation. His thing is embarrassing.

But it may still be time for SUNTV to stop paying him. I wonder if he would be willing to speak for free? Given the value of his opinions, that would seem a fair market price.

Harper Majority ~ Dealing with Dysfunction ~1000 Nasty Stories in first 224 days of Harperland

2011-12-13T13:46:00.057-04:00

In the first 224 days of the Harper Majority, the government sold to us as Strong, and Stable is proving to be anything but.

In fact there has already been so much nonsense and tampering with our democracy that I was easily able, without any special attention to it, (just spending my time on C.R.U.S.H. talking to other concerned Canadians) to collect 1000 stories which point to the fact that our 'Dear leader' has no clue what strength' means here, of any idea what constitutes stability.

The Fun Began During the Throne Speech
If you don't already know that,
You've got a Lot of Catching Up to do

The List is all here. It is in no particular order though, as the sheer volume of information is so great as to defy collating. The list of URLs is so long as to take a few minutes to save every time I make a single key-stroke.
So, dig in and see what Canada and the rest of the World has been saying about the country now more properly known as "Harper Land" . If anything or any story baffles you, and some of it might, come join us at C.R.U.S.H. and tap the brains of a few thousand incredible Canadians who are very willing to help you make sense of it.

For Best RESULTS right-click on links and open them in a new tab or window. Otherwise, it will take you a year to see them all and by then there will be 2500 more.

SUNTV secret Executive VP

(in charge of hidden agendas and troublemaking)

Stephen Harper

Delusional Canadian Mud-Wrestler, Ezra 'Mad Dog' LeRant
Challenges CBC's Ernie Coombs
better known to millions of Canadians as "Mr. Dressup"
to a "Fight to the Finish"
at a fund raiser for a 'think tank' in Calgary, last week.
Mr. Coombs died in 2001

Mr. LeRant called him some names,
threw a chair which hit nothing,
taped himself to the wall of the main lobby,
and at the time of this publication was still
loudly demanding to be paid for his time.

And he says he is an advocate of free speech?

p.s. My money is still on "Mr. dressup".
