Pat Martin Wants You To Donate To His Cause

 

Pat Martin is  appealing to the public to help him out with his defense fund. He has set up a website to take the donations.  He was sued by Racknine who he accused of being involved in the Robot call fiasco.   He wants $250,000.   He gave a weak kneed apology but Racknine is going through with the lawsuit anyway.

 An NDP MP is turning to the Internet to cover his legal bills in the face of a lawsuit for wrongly accusing an Alberta company of electoral fraud.
Supporters and friends of Pat Martin are trying to raise $250,000 after the Winnipeg MP was sued for comments he made about the 2011 election robo-calls scandal.

Anyway, why is it up to the public to help defend Pat?  After all it's he who spouted off those the accusations against Racknine.

I 'm glad Racknine is going ahead with the suit.  Loud mouth Martin needs to learn a lesson.   This time it seems he's shot his mouth off once too often  

I don't know about you but I will be anxious for the outcome of the suit.  Looks good on him! 

PM Harper To Be Honoured

 

 I must say we should all be proud of our Prime Minister.   He is to receive a prestigious award as "World Statesman of the Year."

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper is being hailed as “World Statesman of the Year” by an American organization that previously feted Jean Chretien, British prime minister Gordon Brown and and Korean president Lee Myung-bak.
The award, for his work as “a champion of democracy, freedom and human rights”, comes from an organization called the Appeal of Conscience Foundation,
The organization paying tribute to Harper was founded in 1965 by Rabbi Arthur Schneier. Its website says the Foundation has worked on behalf of religious freedom and human rights throughout the world.

 The heads of the Harper haters are probably exploding as we speak.   Why can't they just accept that fact we are currently governed by a Prime Minister that is doing a good job working on behalf of all Canadians?  Yes even including them who hate him, making sure the economy is stable, that they all have jobs, that the streets are safe for their children and that they have the freedom to  spew their hate. 

Just look around at most parts of the world, I think we should all be grateful and count our blessings. 

God bless PM Stephen Harper and his family and God bless Canada!  Congratulations Mr.  Prime Minister! 

Alberta PCs Thinks We're Stupid

  

On Thursday, Finance Minister Doug Horner presented us with the latest fiscal update.  It does not look good. We are headed for a massive deficit.  In Alberta, there is absolutely no reason we should be in deficit period full stop. What makes matters worse is that they are refusing to release the details.  We wouldn't understand it.  We wouldn't get it.   In other words, we are stupid.

“We didn’t do a technical briefing, because the reality is if we have to do a technical briefing for (journalists), how do we expect that Albertans are going to understand what I am telling them?
“I want Albertans to understand (that) the first-quarter results are based on actual-to-budget, just the way they would do at home or in their businesses, and that’s the way we are going to report.”

Come on do they really think we're that dumb?  Seems so.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says  that the PC government could be breaking the law.

So much for Nanny Redford's "This is not your father's PC party" and the promise of openness, transparency and accountability.

By the way, Nanny Redford doesn't seem worried.

Is Ann Romney,the Secret Weapon?

 

 I  tuned in last night and listened to the GOP convention speeches.  The one I was most impressed with was Mitt Romney's wife Ann.  Beautiful,smart and articulate.

  Ann Romney could be Mitt's and the GOP's secret weapon. 

 TAMPA, FL -- If the knock against Mitt Romney is that he's too rich and rigid, then his wife is perhaps the Republican's best weapon to change peoples' minds.

Kinda reminds me of Laureen Harper our secret weapon and like Ann Romney, beautiful,smart and articulate.

If Mitt Romney is propelled into the White House, he will have his wife to thank! It will be because of her.  I believe. Besides I'm sure she will remind him to keep his promise and approve the Keystone XL pipeline, something that's important for the  both US and Canada.

If you missed it, watch Ann Romney's speech below.

Should have the Liberals Allowed Senator Joyce Fairbairn Vote Last Session?

  

Senator Joyce Fairbairn was diagnosed with dementia way back in Feburary but the Liberal leadership aware of her condition allowed her to continue on with her duties in the Senate chamber. 

 OTTAWA — The Liberal leadership in the Senate allowed a veteran senator to vote on legislation and spend public dollars for four months after she was diagnosed with dementia and declared legally incompetent.
Sen. Joyce Fairbairn regularly attended Senate sittings and voted along party lines before the Upper Chamber rose for the summer at the end of June.
Fairbairn was diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer’s type by her geriatric psychiatrist in February, according to a letter sent to Senate officials by her niece, Patricia McCullagh.

I feel for the Senator and all people who suffer from this horrible debilitating disease but should have the Liberals allowed her participate in the Senate particularly voting on important bills knowing that she was diagnosed as "legally incompetent"?  

I know she's a lovely lady and it's not her fault but why would the Liberals let her work? Her votes didn't make a difference anyway, as the Conservatives have a healthy majority in the Senate.

I'm surprised actually  that the Senate has never dealt with anything like this before.

It's sad in any case and I wish the Senator and her loved ones all the best even though she's a Liberal. Dementia has no political leanings!
