NDP Hypocrisy

The NDP have been trotting out Charlie Angus  lately to howl about how terrible the  political discourse is becoming, that's it's American style but Matt Gurney aptly points out their hypocrisy.

Hoo boy. After NDP MP Charlie Angus expressed fears that Canada would reach American-style levels of poisoned political discourse, linked to the pending arrival of Sun News and the CRTC’s decision to water down its regulations against false news, Sun Media’s David Akin took to Twitter and launched a counter-attack. With a barrage of links, Aiken helpfully reminded the Canadian public of some of NDP moves that, evaluated fairly, wouldn’t have really done all that much to elevate the tone of our national political dialogue. A lot of them were familiar. There was Pat Martin’s bizarre asbestos puppet show. Or the time that an NDP MP accused Tory James Moore of surfing porn on his laptop while sitting in the House of Commons (the photos, which were not pornographic, were shots of his girlfriend taken on a beach vacation).
But the real winner was a link on the NDP’s homepage titled Taking Aim, inviting members to become part of an ominously named Target Team. The map helpfully includes references to taking the Tories “head-on” … and a map of Canada covered in — you guessed it — bulls-eyes.

Yup it comes with their own targeted map alright.

Is this not hypocrisy?   
Then the NDP are suddenly worried about truth in news?  It's not like we've been getting a whole lot of truth in the news anyway.   It's been going on for eons.

This is all about SunTV.   The voices on the left are obviously terrified. 

Tarek Fatah About PM David Cameron,"Spot On"

Kudos to Tarek Fatah,out spoken voice  and founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress.  He commented on British PM David Cameron's bold speech on multiculturalism and how it has been a failure in Britain, saying that Cameron was "spot on."and Canada's multiculturalism will fail as well.

A prominent voice in Canada’s Muslim community said British Prime Minister David Cameron was “spot on” when he insisted British multiculturalism has failed.
And just like Britain, Canada’s will fail, said Muslim Canadian Congress founder Tarek Fatah.
He said Monday that, like Britain, Canada has been too tolerant in allowing Muslim immigrants to settle into closed communities, some of which preach Islamic values and a hatred toward the West.
“The Canadian multicultural model has failed, as the British model has,” said Fatah. “When first generation (Muslims) are more loyal to Canada than the second generation, then we have sufficient evidence to say that multiculturalism has failed.”
Citing the Toronto 18 terrorist plot as an example of the extremism that can result from ethnic isolation, Fatah said he hoped Canada can “pick up on” the points Cameron made in a controversial speech on Saturday.
While speaking at a security conference in Germany, Cameron called for an end to Britain’s “passive tolerance” of divided ethnic communities. He also said beefing up was needed in the prevention of extremism.
Fatah said Canada’s Liberal and Conservative governments push a tolerant, passive form of multiculturalism as a way of preserving votes.
“The newcomer finds solace in his or her own community,” said Fatah, “and when there is states-sponsored multiculturalism, there are people who make money out of the marginalization of these people.”
Multiculturalism in Canada hasn’t failed, countered Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress. But pockets of younger immigrants — particularly Muslims — have been slow to integrate into a Canadian way of life.
“(They) are not moving forward as quickly as we did in generations past,” said Farber. “You can have a large population of Muslims living in one area, and they have not yet seemed to be able to break out entirely from that one area and become part of the Canadian fabric.”

Thank you Mr. Fatah! I'm sure he's not the only one with these views.  More Muslims and  voices of other ethnic immigrant communities should be encouraged to speak out  too.   Plus our own leaders should grow a pair and echo the same thing that PM Cameron and  German Chancellor Angela Merkel have voiced. and that is MULTICULTURALISM HAS BEEN A FAILURE!!!
  
In the mean time Glenn Beck is informing  his audience all week on who the Muslim Brotherhood really are and how dangerous they are using their own words. It's a must watch.  The main stream media will not tell you the truth.  You can catch up here.  If you miss a show, they post each episode just hours after the broadcast. I would encourage each one to tune in.  We need to be informed.

Something You Should Know

Watching what's been going on in Egypt  been rather unsettling. Yes get rid of Mubarak, a dictator but then what? What is going to replace Mubarack? What kind of a government will Egyptians get if they're not careful? Well, Glenn Beck has done a good job last week filling his viewers in about what has been going on and what could be next for Egypt and will most likely spread to the rest of the region and ultimately to us.  You must watch Friday's episode. You must know what's going on. You need to be informed.



Here is Thursday's show as well.


If you want to see something truly frightening watch this interview with this radical cleric on with Sean Hannity. What is disturbing is that the cleric is British born.




I would like to see a free and democratic Egypt and Middle East. It would be good for Israel and the rest of the world but there's also the danger the opposite could occur like what happened in Iran when the Shah was run out of town. Look what they have now. They could get something like the Muslim Brotherhood who are extremists and who would impose Sharia law  I really don't think that's what they really want. This will spill over to North America if we're not careful so we must wake up!

Saturday UK Prime Minister David Cameron spoke of how multiculturalism has been a failure and how it breeds radicalism and extremism.  We must take a stand here as well against multiculturalism. 

 Pray for Egypt and that whole area including Israel.  These are tenuous times, it could go either way.
 

Don and Chantal Lookin for An Election?

Don Broaaa....dcast Newman and Chantal Hebert to me seem to want an election. Don Newman in his dreamworld thinks that PM Harper's trip to Washington today is a sure sign of a pending election. and he sites previous PMs as a reference. 

So, brace yourself for those photos of Stephen Harper at the White House with Barack Obama. And while we're at it, somebody better get the ballot boxes ready too.

What? That's kinda scrapping at the bottom of the barrel in my opinion. 

Chantal seems to think there needs to be an election because Parliament has nothing  to talk about.

The 40th Parliament is all talked out.

Uh? Excuse me, Chantal, that's a poor excuse to go to the polls,  there is plenty to talk about.  How the criminal justice system, the immigration and refugee system,are just two examples of what the government wants to talk about.  Canadians want something done on those two issues like yesterday. We are sick and tired of the lax justice system where criminals get off easy and sick and tired of so called refugees and human smugglers taking advantage of us re-the ships from Sri Lanka for instance in which the government is trying to address.  Even though chugging along with 69,200 jobs created in January, there is still plenty of work to do on the economy as well. We aren't totally out of the woods yet.  So no, this parliament is not talked out. Maybe it's Chantal who can't find anything to talk about.

There is no pressing issue to go into an expensive election right now so why?  It would be just plain opportunism for any political party at this juncture to trigger one. So why is the media pushing for one?  Is it to boost sales?  Is it to try and get rid of the evil Harper government and install their beloved Liberals or coalition in?  I don't know but it does seem that it is the media who want the election more so than the politicians. Liberal's have indicated they will vote against the budget,who knows what they'll do when it actually comes time to vote, they flip flop so much and it looks like Jack Layton and the NDP are looking for  away to avoid an election
So who knows? I could be wrong but I think Don and Chantal could end up being disappointed in the end.

Will We or Won't We?

Are Canadian voters going to the polls this spring?  Well maybe not so fast. According to Jane Taber it seems speculation has simmered down, anyway at least amongst  a few of MPs. I agree Liberal MP Glen Pearson.

He noted that the election speculation was “prepped by the media for the last few weeks as various pundits continued to ramp up some kind of ballot showdown.”

It's been hyped by the media ever since Iffy in his Christmas interviews was threatening to trigger a spring election   to  get rid of  the evil Harper government..  With nothing else to report on, the media took and ran with it. The CPC and LPC ads and the tours of the coalition leaders last month has just added to the hype.

Finance Minister Flaherty indicated yesterday that there would be help for low income seniors. That was something  Jack Layton was asking for in the budget in order to get NDP support.  Will it be enough? That's for Jack and the Dippers to decide.

Besides 64%Canadians see no need for a spring election.  So are we going to the polls or not?  My guess is as good as yours.  I tend to agree with the PM, it's  a 50/50 chance We'll probably  not really know until the budget vote takes place. Until then the speculation will keep swirling.
