You Really Want This Bunch Leading You?

A must read from Ezra Levant's column in today's Sun.

If last week’s opinion polls hold steady, Canada is about to get a lot more NDP MPs. There were 36 when Parliament dissolved and some of the wilder projections say that number could triple.
It’s unlikely that the socialist tide will reach so high. But it’s worth looking at some of the candidates who could be washed into Parliament on Monday.
Jack Layton calls his candidates “strong” and told reporters, “Our team is ready to work hard and demonstrate that each and every day as they’re campaigning across the country.”
But even that bland statement isn’t quite true. Take Jim Koppens, the NDP candidate from Ajax-Pickering, just east of Toronto. His friends tell reporters Koppens spent the first week of the campaign at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic.
Koppens is clearly taking this election as a joke — he couldn’t be bothered to reschedule his holiday. Hopefully, if he wins, he might be kind enough to clear his busy schedule by the time Parliament starts.
Ontario isn’t the only place where joke NDP candidates are phoning it in. Ruth Ellen Brosseau, from the Quebec riding of Berthier-Maskinongé, left for Las Vegas in the middle of the campaign. Which is just as well, because her riding is overwhelmingly French — a language she can barely speak. Unlike Koppens, Brosseau actually has a chance of being washed into Parliament in an NDP wave.
Who knows? Brosseau, who now works in Ottawa, might even move to Quebec.
Taking the election campaign as a joke is one problem. But the NDP has the opposite problem, too — candidates who are way too passionate about what being in government would mean. Take Dennis Perrier, the NDP candidate from Medicine Hat. He says he’s running hard because he wants to bring socialism to power — so the government can “pool tax money for the benefit of all.”
Got it? Everybody puts their money in a pot and the government divides it up. Animal Farm-style.
New kind of nutty
That’s just old-fashioned socialism. But the NDP has newfangled weirdness amongst their candidates, too. Dave Nickle, the party’s candidate in Peterborough, Ont., has a very special theory about what our Canadian peacekeepers are doing in Afghanistan. They’re not there to fight the Taliban or to protect Afghan girls who want to go to school. No, they’re there to help secure a pipeline that America wants to build. “I find I get more and more angry,” says Nickle. Okaaay.
Nickle isn’t the only conspiracy theorist at home in the NDP. So is David Laird in Burlington, Ont. He knows who the real terrorists are. The U.S. government. No — not the real U.S. government, not even George W. Bush. But a hidden hand. In response to a petition about secret government agencies, he said: “We all know that there is no greater terrorist threat … than the secret government operating in the U.S.A.”
Thank goodness a man with that kind of super-secret knowledge is going to be — well, what will he be if he’s elected? Foreign affairs minister? Maybe in charge of CSIS? Or the minister for UFOs?
My favourite NDP candidate is James McLaren, from Ottawa South. He made a joke the other day about the Jewish holiday of Passover, asking, “Is that the month when Jewish people like to buy Japanese cars?” Huh? If you’re going to make a Jewish joke, in this case about Passover being in the month of Nisan, it should at least be funny, not stupid.
Maybe McLaren will be in charge of the NDP’s human rights commission censors. They’re merciless if you’re not politically correct — you know, saying Personitoba instead of Manitoba. But their own bigotry is just fine.
Get to know these names. Soon we might be calling them “boss.”

Yup just what we need a bunch of loons running the show.. Come on Canada is that really what you want?  Let common sense prevail. Please!  Vote for a Conservative majority tomorrow for sane sensible governance.
And just a little reminder of the sane sensible accomplishments of this Conservative government.

A Note to Fiscally Conservative Liberals

Tomorrow will decide our fate. Does Canada move forward with Stephen Harper or do we go backwards with Jack Layton?  You must be a part in that decision. You may not like Stephen Harper but you have to admit he and his government have done pretty decent job in steering us through the great recession.  I along with other BT bloggers like Joanne from Bluelikeyou appeal for your help.

When you read about the NDP's hidden agenda and do a reality check on their cap and trade plan it must alarm you.  I'm sure reasonable minded Liberals like John Manley must think this is insane.and must not be allowed to happen.

Basically what the NDP would do is put our country into economic chaos that would shake the markets  and bankrupt this great nation.  You,your children, grandchildren and generations to come would be paying for this travesty.  What essentially would be happening is the NDP would be  "committing generational theft" (a term coined by moderate Republican US Senator John Mcain when referring to the uncontrollable spending going on the US)  Besides look at what is going on in the world, the economic crisis in Europe, the Middle East, the disaster that our friends in Japan are dealing with. and the financial turmoil our friends and neighbors to south are enduring.  Remember we are not an island.  What goes on in the rest of world affects us as what goes on here affects them. We do not need chaos and turmoil here to add to the world instability.

I'm sure you don't want that to occur.  This election is crucial.  It seems like your party won't be the government, not even likely official opposition.  A coalition with the NDP with Jack Layton as PM  wouldn't last long and  would probably destroy your party forever.  I don't think you want that to happen.  So as citizens who love their country and who want their party to survive join in and vote for a Conservative majority tomorrow.   All most all of the nations papers have endorsed a Conservative majority.

So why not take the plunge even if you have to hold your nose. It will give your party time to rebuild and to be viable contender in four years.   I'm sure you agree we cannot be into an election every eighteen  to twenty four months anymore. We need stability and four years of peace and I know you would agree.

Think Hard,Do You Really Want Jack Layton as PM?

Chris Selley from the National Post gives insight into who Jack Layton really is.  

 Mr. Layton cut his political teeth on the streets of Montreal at the height of the separatist movement in 1970. He was a member of the Front d’Action Politique (FRAP), a left-wing, grassroots municipal party opposed to autocratic mayor Jean Drapeau. FRAP went so far as to endorse the FLQ manifesto, though it did object to the FLQ’s tactics. You know, the whole terrorism thing.

Mr. Layton, too, was appalled by the violence. But he attributes his NDP awakening to Pierre Trudeau’s decision to send in the tanks — something he was “inclined to go along with” until Tommy Douglas protested on behalf of Quebecers’ civil liberties. “I said to myself, that’s a very unpopular position this NDP leader is taking,” Mr. Layton wrote in his 2004 book, Speaking Out. “Still, as I listened to his powerful arguments and his brilliant capacity to deliver them, I realized that this unpopular stance was right.”
But it’s not just that Mr. Layton has always understood Quebec, and had mingled with its nationalists and radicals. As recently as 2003, as Michel Vastel reported in L’Actualité, Mr. Layton was deliberately gladhanding amongst Bloc- and Parti Québécois-friendly organizations, and developing the hybrid nationalist/federalist rhetoric that Canadians now hear on the campaign trail.
A party obsessed with minority rights now supports extending Bill 101 language laws to cover workers in Quebec under federal jurisdiction. A staunchly centralist party now supports devolving powers to Quebec. Mr. Layton’s support for the Clarity Act has never been warmer than tepid; of late, he’s been declaring nothing stronger than a general preference for a “No” vote in a referendum.

and this:

Centrist, he was not. In 1983, he endorsed a socialist manifesto put forward by the New Democrats’ left caucus, which called for “public ownership of the decisive sectors of the economy”; “massive public works programs and a shorter work week for the same take-home pay”; “free, universal access to all levels of education from day care to university”; and “immediate withdrawal from NATO … and NORAD.”
As a councillor, he criticized police raids on gay bathhouses. As chair of the Board of Health, he took up the AIDS cause. He opposed the city’s Olympic bid, spending taxpayer money on what would eventually become SkyDome, and commercial developments in the downtown railway lands that, he said, would benefit fat cat developers. (“People are tired of glitzy condos, fancy domes and more limousines,” he said in 1988.) He was against Sunday shopping, because 1980s society provided more than a week’s worth of crass commercialism in six days.
Mr. Layton was not above some pointless left-wing symbolism. He wanted to make Toronto “gun-free.” He insisted the city adopt a nuclear non-proliferation stance, and was chairman of the city’s Peace Committee. In 1989, he supported a move to have Toronto adopt Volgograd as a twin city — and responded to critics at a City Council meeting by comparing Soviet human rights abuses to those perpetrated by Canada against aboriginals. Some in attendance suggested he move to Russia.

How can anyone want this man running this country? I certainly do not! This man is DANGEROUS!  A radical quasi-separatist it seems who wants to spend us into oblivion and destroy Canada in the process. 

JACK LAYTON MUST NOT BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR THE REINS OF POWER!!!!   DON"T LET THAT SMILE FOOL YOU!!!

Think long and hard.  The only way to do that since the Liberals are sinking ship is to VOTE FOR A CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY ON MAY 2!!!!!!

Why Blue Liberals Should Vote Conservative

I believe common sense Blue Liberals should vote for a Conservative majority. . Here's why   In recent weeks it seems like the Orange Crush is crushing the Big Red Tent leaving it almost impotent.  The Orange Crush NDP overtaking the Libs could actually end up governing.  That should alarm Blue Liberals. Even if Libs end up being part of a coalition. It will be Jack Layton and the NDP at the mercy of the Bloc who will be calling the shots.  The NDP platform if implemented would devastate the economy and open the door to a real national unity crisis that create such instability we might not ever recover.  I believe these Liberals love their country and do not want to see it destroyed.  A Conservative majority would continue with our economic recovery and offer stability.

Secondly a Conservative majority would give the Liberal party four years to rebuild to be a real contender again. It would actually be healthy for Liberals.  They could develop new ideas put them into policy, find a strong credible leader, and create a solid fund raising mechanism.

I'm appealing to those fair minded Blue Liberals  to put the country first and at least this time and vote for a stable Conservative majority. You are good and sensible people.   Please think hard and long before casting that ballot.  The fate country is in your hands.  Stephen Harper is not the bogeyman. He's not going turn Canada into a Theocracy. He's not going reverse a woman freedom to choose or reverse gay marriage.  He's done a pretty good job in sheltering us from the great recession and only has the good of the country at heart. Jack Layton will turn us back big time! Lastly remember this is not Canadian Idol!
