The Liberal leader today indicated that his party was no longer going to support the government. So that means we might be forced into an election really nobody except the Liberals want right now.
Why? What is the pressing issue? $300 million spent for what result? Most likely be the same result as we have now. Why jeopardize the ecomonic recovery?
Read the comment section in this CTV article. Seems a majority of commentors are not in favor of what Ignatieff wants put us through.
Take a look at this poll that they are conducting right now. It's not scientific but it's interesting none the less.
Who would you vote for in a possible fall election?
Conservatives
6554 votes
(61 %)
Liberals
2920 votes
(27 %)
NDP
726 votes
(7 %)
Other
605 votes
(6 %)
Total Votes: 10805

Glenn Beck and Common Sense
Since this blog is about fighting for common sense, I thought it would be beneficial to write about the book that has inspired me.
I have been reading and recommend highly this book by Glenn Beck,
Common Sense, The Case Against An Out-of Control Government,
Inspired by Thomas Paine, this summer.
In this book Beck emphazises how the American government is getting out of control with their spending and the gradual enchroachment of government on individuals to reduce their basic fundamental freedoms and how Americans can take their country back.
He goes at both parties, the Repulicans and the Demorcrats and their disregard for the average individual. He points out both sides have fallen down on the job and are just out for themselves.
This book is about America but as I kept reading this book, I noticed that it could apply here as well on all levels of government.
I hope you all get a chance to read it. It will inform you and inspire you. Just like Americans, we can take Canada back too.

Harper's New Patriotism
Andrew Coyne has written a great article on how the Harper Conservatives are regaining our patriotism and rebranding it's self "the Canada Party."
That's what, as far as Coyne's assessment goes, the trip to the North was about. An overall good read.

The Prime Minister, God and Politics
Others have commented on various aspects of today's Globe and Mail column about PM Harper. I will comment on a particular part that grabbed my attention.
The column talks about an interview the PM had given to a Quebec magazine. It reveals a human side of him that most of the MSM and the opposition try to distort.
The one thing that really got my attention was a quote from PM Harper and that was this.
“To be honest with you, I am a lot more concerned by God's verdict regarding my life than the one of historians,” the Prime Minister said with a laugh, according to the article.
It caught my eye because no. 1, he is a born again Evangelical Christian.
No. 2 obviously he because he's a Christian, God is an important part of his life. Since God is such an important part of his life, his decisions, his words, his actions, his must conduct his life according to the will of God. He knows that someday he like all of us must answer for what we have done with our lives.
He obviously cares not what people think of him so much but ultimately what God thinks.
I especially picked up on that because I too am a Christian and God is an important part of my life as well.
It to, is clear that his faith has an influence in the way he conducts his politics. You can tell. I'm sure he must seek the wisdom of God when he has to make the tough decisions. Like recently, our economy. Clearly you can see we are so much better off than many other countries in the world. God's hand has to be in it. God I believe, has been guiding this PM through out this whole economic meltdown.
So no matter what the MSM, the oppostition or anyone for that matter thinks of him, God will be will the ultimate judge.
That my friends is THE most important thing. If you at the end of the day have done what is right in the eyes of God, it doesn't matter a hill of beans how others judge you, it's temporal. How God judges you, that is eternal!

I for one am proud of this Prime Minister and for what he stands for. I want nothing else but all of God's blessings upon him and his beautiful family.

Liberals Get Tough on Crime
So apparently the federal Liberals suddenly want to cooperate with the Conservative government to get tough on white collar crime.
Good, first if they're really serious, maybe they should get tough on themselves. Adscam hasn't been totally solved yet. Let's go after that $40 million dollars that you stole from us, shall we Liberals? Set a good example.
BTW, what happened to all the, bring down the government, election bluster? They want to work with the government now? We shall see.
I sure hope they're sincere. Who knows? They're Liberals after all. Seems like they don't know what they're doing half the time.
Co-operate if necessary, not necessarily co-operate
