#cdnpoli Harper Demands Manic Sycophancy from MPs

This points to another element of Harper’s leadership style: to serve him you must first master the “sit and stay” command, then faithfully regurgitate any fabrication put before you.

Clement and Day do this well, although few can match the manic sycophancy of John Baird or Pierre Poilievre.

Wikileaks And The DRIC Smoking Guns (Part 2): A Windsor Square Exclusive

Here are the key excerpts from the relevant documents as disclosed in Wikileaks.

There are relatively few documents but the story they tell is very disturbing. I try to put each one in a context for you and try to explain to you how everything fits together. I want you to be able to make sense of it all so that you will understand the significance.

I apologize. It is a very long and ugly read. But very essential. It is very disturbing when you cut through it all and see how Governments really operate. It is fascinating that such disclosures have been made. Clearly, no one in the public was ever expected to read this material so we can learn things that were to be kept secret from us. Tell the public one thing, act another way behind the scenes.

How can people act this way in a supposedly democratic society? How can they look at themselves in the mirror in the morning? How do they justify their actions?

Wikileaks And The DRIC Smoking Guns (Part 1): A Windsor Square Exclusive

I feel like the prospector who has been panning for gold forever and then finally hit the mother-lode to find gold nuggets! It has taken me just as long to find my treasure sifting through the sands of misinformation that have been put out for the last decade.

I am so sorry to do it to you again. This is an exceptionally long tale to tell and to discuss with you so I have broken it down into 2 parts. It is well worth your time to read both of them. I will post one part today and the balance tomorrow. I will give you, dear reader, the descriptive overview in this Article and all of the gory details with a full explanation to put everything in a context tomorrow.

I would suggest that you may want to read this over coffee or at lunch. Better yet, print both parts out and take them home with you and read them in the evening rather than watching one of those silly sitcoms or reality TV programs. You will want to tak…

Just remember, here are 10 MORE reasons to connect CETA to the new “Crime Bill” and the SPP and the NAFTA “Super Bridge” project and the Libya Mission and the “secret” deals with China. If someone can figure out how to tie this all together considering the suspicious radical religious undertones to the current “ConTeaBagger” govt., bingo…

“We can’t expect to be on a completely different track than the rest of the world,”

“If the global economy slows, the Canadian economy is going to slow.”

“The big challenge for us is our export market,”

“That’s where the global recession affected us, that’s where the global slowdown is affecting us again.”

“We know what the problem is right now. There are literally trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines throughout the western world and we’ve got to find ways, you know, in other economies to restore confidence and get that money back into the economy.”

“So we don’t have a sovereign debt issue. We have obviously a deficit under these economic circumstances but nothing that’s structural or protracted.”

“We have a full range of economic assets that has, you know, allowed us to have some good response in certain export markets,”

“But, look, you know, I’m not trying to fool you. With all the assets we have and all the things we’ve done right, we are nevertheless a small open tr…


Export-reliant economy makes Canada vulnerable to global downturn: Stephen Harper

The Canadian economy’s export-driven base is “very vulnerable” to the global economic slowdown, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“Even before they received a majority in the House, the Conservatives made it clear that evidence of the declining crime rate, the proven failure of tough-on-crime strategies elsewhere, and the cost of such measures crippling some American states were all irrelevant factors. No amount of logic, expertise, or debate would deter the government from its chosen path.”

F***book wants more friends. And it’s willing to pay for them.

The Silicon Valley social media company has for the first time formed an old-fashioned political action committee and will use it to distribute cash to candidates in the coming elections. It is just one indication of how social media companies are integrating with the political landscape in a season in which these businesses are growing presences in the campaign conversation.

September 26, 2011 – More than 200 people risked arrest on Parliament Hill in the largest climate-related civil disobedience action in Canadian history. The rally and the civil disobedience remained peaceful through the day-long event on the Hill. The main message of the action was to urge Prime Minister Harper to turn away from a destructive tar sands industry and start building a green energy future that promotes climate justice, respects Indigenous rights and prioritizes the health of the environment and communities.

“Think of the relationship between Harper’s government and Canadians as a house. The Harper government and his corporate friends are at the top; they are the roof. The rest of us are the walls of the house; we are the basis of support for the roof. When the walls of a house are removed, the roof is no longer supported. If we refuse to support Harper’s government, the roof falls.”
