Just keep on a Readin' Varmit! There is a Test at the End. ~ A Con-Test |
Vic Toews is quickly becoming someone that those of us who are already openly opposed to Stephen Harper's Government look to every day and find for yet another reason to stop the insanity that is Harper Land. Vic, as a leader of men is a failed experiment to say the least. He is ill cast to carry the burden of the role of Sheriff of Harper Land. Like Yosemite Sam here, he lacks the wits or the temperament needed to be successful as our protector.
Things are always odd in Harper Land to say the very least, and it is obvious to those of us who are really paying attention that the Treasury board Chairman is a threat to the Treasury, the Minister of the Environment is a threat to the Environment, the Minister in charge of Immigration is a threat to our Department of Immigration, etc. In fact it is painfully obvious that in Harper Land, any minister currently in Charge of any and all departments is counter productive and this amateurish and indolent government are failing miserably to manage any of them. So, how you holding up, eh?

Let's Start with This: Vic Toews just last week, blithely reported to the members of the House of Commons that he had already advised the Canadian Security and Intelligence Services (CSIS) that it will be OK in the future to use information that has been gathered through the imposition of torture. And this is just a start!

And Today, (Feb 14th) It Got Even Worse.
OTTAWA ~ The government says anyone who opposes federal plans to make electronic surveillance easier for police and spies is siding with child pornographers.
It’s the first salvo in a battle that will resume Tuesday when the government reintroduces legislation that would expand online monitoring powers.
The issue pits the desire of intelligence and law-enforcement officials to have easier access to information about Internet users against the individual’s right to privacy.
Asked Monday in the House of Commons about the coming bill, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews told a Liberal MP he could either "Stand with the Government or Stand with the Child Pornographers"
Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart has warned against simply resurrecting a trio of previous federal bills to expand surveillance powers, citing several shortcomings.
Of particular concern to the privacy commissioner are provisions that would allow authorities access to Internet subscriber information without first getting a court’s go-ahead.
Toews’ office has assured that the government will strike a suitable and appropriate balance between the necessary investigative powers and the protection of privacy. Personally I am not sure that I imagine that really happening. And certainly not with the outspoken and intellectually over-matched Teows calling the shots.
Opposition MPs were Alarmed by his Inane Comments.
“Apparently if you care about civil liberties in this country you obviously side with child pornographers, murderers. You’re the worst form of scum if you believe the charter’s an important instrument for the rule of law in this country. I'm horrified by this kind of rhetoric. It demeans us all.” ~ Elizabeth May.
"Stupid" was the word that Bob Rae used to describe the Statement and the Minister. I will provide a link as soon as I inherit a secretary. Lol!
Ahhh, here is something.
Note that Bob Rae is only referring to 'Hitler' because it had come up in the HOC just a day before when one of the the Cons inappropriately and absurdly compared a statement by former Liberal MP, Allan Rock with Adolf Hitler.

Vic Toews has never taken any responsibility for anything that this government has done.
This is not new, but it illustrates his
innate ability to put up a smoke screen.

Vic Clears the whole thing up!
How Crazy was it? ~ CTV

Vic Teows' Attitude
It is my real Hope
that if you take a close enough look at
Stephen Harper's Caucus
you might start to see that he is just
a Head with It's Chicken Cut Off!

ReplyDeleteHi there. I see that Vic is that Neo-con colour I like so much.
ReplyDeleteI think he might be saying "Why's everybody always pickin' on me?" just like Charlie Brown. He does play the victim, as you are so fond of pointing out,Lol!
As always, good stuff.

Sometimes I think this must be a bad dream.
ReplyDeleteI found this quote chilling & timely.
""The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation"
