LEST WE OFFEND THOSE WE ARE ABOUT TO KILL
Wouldn’t it have been cool if everyone over the past couple of days had said we shouldn’t burn the Koran continue killing Muslims because it will piss them off, put our troops and aid workers in greater danger and help Al Qaeda recruit more members.
THE HARPER GOVERNMENT COMMEMORATES GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Now I’ve seen everything.
City of North Bay Mayor Victor Fedeli and the Honourable Tony Clement, Minister of Industry and Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka, unveiled a new plaque commemorating projects that benefited from the Gas Tax Fund in North Bay.
SUCCESS EQUALS FAILURE
Shorter Stephen Harper: We need to give the police more powers to do the job they’ve already done without them.
Lapsed anti-terror provisions — extraordinary measures the Conservative government has been trying to revive — might have been useful in the current effort to round up suspects in an alleged bomb plot, the prime minister hinted Wednesday.
WHAT PERSECUTION OF THE ROMA?
According to our Minister of Immigration, Jason Kenney, the European Roma that have been desperately trying to come to Canada are just a bunch of queue jumpers with nothing to fear back home.
Hungary’s leading far-right party said on Wednesday that Roma who are considered a threat to public safety should be forced from their dwellings and placed in highly-controlled camps, some of them for life.
Yup, life is just peachy for them there. Good call Kenney.
BRING ON FOX NEWS NORTH
Ever since it was announced that Kory Teneycke would be starting up a version of Fox News here in Canada many of my fellow lefties have been filled with dread. They’ve even gone so far as to create and sign onto a petition urging the CRTC to prevent the station from getting on basic cable and doing for the Conservatives what Fox News has done for the Republicans.
RELAX DIPPERS
I see that some of my fellow dippers are quite upset by the latest concerted attack on the NDP by the Liberals and libfloggers over the upcoming gun registry vote. I would just like to point this out to them. Think back to the last concerted attack on the NDP by the Liberals and libfloggers that occurred a year ago.
LET ME JUST SAY…
…Whip the fucking vote, Jack. You won’t lose a single vote if you do but you sure as hell will lose votes if you don’t.
HARPER SHOOTS HIMSELF IN THE ASS
From Aaron Wherry comes some good news for fans of a coalition government.
“If we have one duty to this country, it is to make sure a Liberal, NDP, Bloc Québécois coalition can never govern this country,” Harper told a crowd of a few hundred at the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility…
“The next election will be a choice between a coalition government of the Liberal, NDP and Bloc Québécois, or a stable Conservative majority government for this country,” he said.
THIS IS NOT MY CANADA
Twenty years after Deepan Budlakoti was born at the old Grace Hospital in Ottawa, the jailed businessman is now facing deportation from Canada — his birthplace and home all his life.
I think it’s time to storm the Bastille folks, and take back our nation from the collection of white supremacists, nativists, xenophobes and bigots that have begun to overrun it.
