Would the NDP Ban Guns?

So it seems the NDP want to make it easier to ban guns over and above reviving the gun registry.  

Meet Your Federal NDP

Others have had to do what the media has failed to do.  Vet the Thomas Mulcair's candidates who have extreme views on certain issues.  So let's meet some of them.

Star candidate Linda McQuaig for instance has called for a moratorium on our oilsands.
It's not just her who is anti-oilsands, it's others too under Mulcair's  wing.

You have  candidates who have come out as anti-Israel as well.

Here is an NDP candidate who is anti-Christian.

 Have a look at this.  It's resolutions from their Montreal 2013 convention.  Even though some didn't pass, it gives a sense about what their members are all about. Take the time to go through it. Some pretty crazy stuff there. 

This is little taste of who the NDP really are.

Hans Marotte, the NDP candidate in Quebec’s Saint-Jean riding; Morgan Wheeldon, who was, until stepping aside Aug. 9, running in the Nova Scotia riding of Kings-Hants; and David McLaren, running in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound were among the NDP candidates featured, alongside past comments they made, on a Conservative Party of Canada’s attack website titled “Meet The NDP.” - See more at: http://www.cjnews.com/canada/ndp-candidates-under-fire-comments-about-israel#sthash.nLpfDRbb.dpuf

Three federal NDP candidates are under intense scrutiny – and one has resigned – for controversial comments each made about Israel.

Maclean's Leaders Debate Postmortem

 

Well last night was the first leaders debate of this federal election so far.  I will try and be fair in my analysis.

Thomas Mulcair was surprisingly weak seeing that everyone was saying he was a great debater using his prosecutor style. I think he played it safe. Actually once in awhile he looked kinda creepy.

Justin Trudeau wasn't that great and he wasn't that bad.  At least he didn't make any big gaffes.  So I guess it's a win for him and his supporters.  His closing remarks was not good at all.

Elizabeth May wasn't that bad either really.  I did notice she challenged Mulcair and PM Harper but she didn't challenge Justin.  I thought that was interesting.

PM Harper was very well I thought seeing that he was being attacked not by three opponents but four.  Paul Wells being the fourth opponent.  He responded to every time with facts.  Basically he was setting the record straight on all that  misinformation that has been put out there by the opposition and the media party.  Of course being the incumbent it's expected that he would be challenged the most.

Paul Wells I thought threw softballs at the Justin, May and Mulcair while going hard on the PM.  If you're hard on one you should be hard on them all.  That;s only fair but then again Wells is a lefty and good friends with Justin.

Overall this debate wasn't that bad. I would say PM Harper won the debate on facts and setting the record straight.  The big loser last night the consortium.

Tonite's Debate

 

 In just a few short hours will be the first debate this election.  It will be hosted by Macleans.

Paul Wells will be moderating.  There will be various means by which you can watch.

WATCH ON TV: 
The debate begins at 8pm EDT. We’re broadcasting coast to coast in multiple languages. In English, on City. In English and French, on CPAC. In Italian, Punjabi, Mandarin and Cantonese on OMNI.
WATCH ONLINE: 
We’ll be live streaming at Macleans.ca/debate, on the Maclean’s Facebook page and the Maclean’s YouTube channel, as well as on cpac.ca and OMNITV.ca. You can also join the social discussion using the #macdebate hashtag.

Will there be any knock out punches?  Not likely.  Knock out punches rarely occur.

Who will win?  My bet is on PM Stephen Harper.   He a well seasoned and very good debater.

Will any voters minds be change?  Probably not.

Will you be watching tonite?  I will most likely be switching between the Maclean's debate and the US GOP Fox debate.

Leadnow Interfering in the Federal Election?

Remember the robocall ficasco?  Leadnow and the petition with  thousands of so called disenfranchised voters that had the media party convinced that the Conservatives cheated in the 2011 election?    Leadnow is getting funding from the US to interfere in this election.  They can't air ads now that the writ has dropped but they are making phone calls in Conservative swing ridings.  




Where is Elections Canada?   Oh yeah, Leadnow is a far left activist group who are campaigning to oust the Conservatives.   If it were say a more conservative group like the Fraser Institute campaigning to keep the CPC in office with say Koch brothers money,  Elections Canada  would pounce on that like a cat on a mouse.
