WAKE UP Canada!

 

 Today as some have deemed as Black Monday have stock markets around the world crashing.

At the same time you have Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair prancing around the country with big spending promises.  The media party is Duffy, Duffy, Duffy. 

For anyone with a stake in Canada’s economy – which would be all 35 million of us – the week started off to ugly, ugly news. The stock market route that took hold last week is continuing. Australia’s market lost $60 billion right off the get-go. Investors in China are so enraged at the boss of the metals exchange that they kidnapped him from his hotel. Headlines are rife with words like “panic”, “crash,”, “collapse”, “fear.”
In Canada? In Canada we have an election underway, and the candidates plan another week of blithely promising new programs with new spending, while official Ottawa obsesses over which subordinates in the Prime Minister’s Office knew Nigel Wright was paying Mike Duffy’s bills.

Please voters, Wake up!  Be careful! Think before you cast your ballot on Oct.19.

During this time of huge volatility we can't afford new spending programs.  Do you want the NDP, or the LPC in which both parties are progressives, to spend us into oblivion regardless of the economic conditions.  Or do you want a Stephen Harper and the CPC who will keep spending down, keep taxes down to help us weather the storm as much as possible.

Remember 2008, when the great recession hit us?  Don't forget it was the Libs and the Dippers who forced the Conservatives to spend those billions of dollars that gave us a deficit and increased the debt.  We finally just got out of that deficit and it's the Libs and Dippers who are complaining about how the debt shot up under Harper.  Conservative supporters, please remind your progressive friends and neighbors.

So please I urge each and everyone to go and do your own homework. There's still lots of time. You cannot trust the media to give you the truth and information you need to know.  Ignore them.  Let them obsess over Duffy as much as they please. They're only talking amongst each other anyway.  Severely normal ordinary people outside of the Ottawa bubble just don't care. They're too busy making a living and taking care of their family.

During this time of huge volatility we can't afford new spending programs. 

The Affects If The Resource Industry Was Shut Down

If the Thomas Mulcair, Justin Trudeau, Elizabeth May had their way, God forbid, they would shut down the resource industry.  That you can count on.  If that were to happen, it would have devastating affect on jobs and our economy.   Listen to Michael Campbell of Money Talks for the first seven minutes especially describe what's going on and what would happen if that should occur.

The Media Fiddles While The World Burns

I am going to be frank.  I'm sick and tired of the media party's constant drivel about Duffy.  It's all Duffy all the time.  There's no smoking gun even though the media keep searching under every rock to find one.  It was about $90,000 that was paid back to the taxpayer by a civil servant.

All this Duffy stuff while there are real things going on in the world.  The price of oil is down.  The dollar's down. ISIS is raping, pillaging and beheading people in the Middle East. Now North Korea's loony leader is threating war. 

They ignore NDP and LPC misdeeds like how the NDP needs to pay back $3 million dollars that was stolen to set up satellite offices in ridings there was no NDP MP.  They have refused to pay it back.   The media party won't hound Thomas Mulcair on the campaign trail about it like they do PM Harper about Duffy.

Instead of questioning Justin Trudeau about a candidate who has since resigned over an offensive coat hanger abortion comment on twitter, they come to her defense blaming conservatives.  They're ignoring also Senator Mac Harb who defrauded us to the tune of over $200,000.  Shouldn't the media hounds be dogging Trudeau on that?  Oh but his trial has been postpone until the new year, guess that doesn't count.

The media in this country has become so partisan, vile, and corrupt.  No wonder trust in the media has been going down.

Should Canada Adopt Online Voting?

I know some have purposed online voting in federal elections in Canada.  Elections Canada has even toyed with the idea.

I for one never want to see online voting for the simple reason, voter fraud.  Even with extra security measures I can see the system possibly being hacked to rig an election.  I don't want voting machines either like they have in the US which has been rife with problems.   Some without a paper trail.

I like the paper ballot the best. Is it perfect probably not but at least there is a paper trail. At least having to get off your behind and go to polling station is a real motivator cause you have make an effort.

Brian Lilley has a good summation on online voting.

 

The NDP Needs To Pay Back the Money They Owe Us

 

  It has been shown that Thomas Mulcair's NDP broke House of Commons rules by misusing taxpayer funds to the tune of  almost $3 million by setting up "satellite offices" around the country in areas they have no MPs.

The NDP have been found guilty twice of abusing public money by improperly using their House of Commons privileges for unauthorized, partisan reasons. The first amount, approximately $2.7 million, is related to the illegal use of "satellite offices." The NDP used public funds to hire MP's assistants, but those staff members actually ended up performing partisan work as they were strategically placed across Canada, in many locations where the NDP had no MPs to support.

It was also found out that they misused $1.3 million for "illegal mailings."

The second amount, approximately $1.3 million, is for illegal mailings. All MPs are given "franking privileges" which allow them to communicate with Canadians via mail on matters of national importance in the performance of their duties as MPs. The NDP used their House of Commons resources to mail Canadians requests to donate and volunteer for the New Democrats, and directed them to their party's website. Elections Canada has already launched an investigation into these illegal mailings, since there is the potential of receiving an unfair election advantage by breaking the rules.

Both instances were determined by the Board of Internal Economy,a committee  which is made of members of all parties.

The all-party Board of Internal Economy, backed by non-partisan House of Commons staff, found that the cost for these two illegal operations is a staggering $4 million. The NDP and leader Thomas Mulcair do not dispute that they committed either of these acts, but they claim that they were unfairly judged by a "kangaroo court" that overruled the House of Commons' administrative staff approval of those offices and mailings. (The non-partisan Clerk of the House of Commons denies that her staff ever gave such approval.)

They  need to pay that money back.  Mulcair calls for the voters of Canada to fire PM Harper for
calling Mike Duffy to pay back the  $90,00 that he owed for claiming housing expenses in which did not involve one dime of taxpayers money.  It was Nigel Wright who used his own money to help Duffy pay his dues.
  Well maybe voters should fire Mulcair and his crew for refusing to pay back the  millions of taxpayers dollars they misused.  What a hypocrite!

By the way it's Mulcair and the NDP and the misuse of taxpayers dollars who the corrupt Media Party should be focused on like a laser instead of Duffy, Wright and PM Harper.
