Census is About the Invasion of Privacy

I haven't posted  before about the so called census kerfuffle because I saw it as another  non-issue conjured up by the Lame Stream Media and the opposition. Minister Tony Clement and the PM want make the long form census voluntary instead mandatory without the threat of jail or fines, and you'd think the world was coming to an end. Armageddon was about to come upon us!  Run for the hills!

The government want to gives a little freedom and privacy and all hell breaks loose?  Something's wrong with that picture if you ask me. Maybe I'm missing something here but I thought people would clamor for a little freedom and privacy.  Actually the general population is not talking about this.  It's a non-issue at the local Timmies, the offices and workplaces, and around the the kitchen tables in this country.
Chris Vander Doelen from the Windsor Star sums it up perfectly what this whole cabal is all about and brings some sense into it.

The census is about the unelected controlling the public. The intensity of their defence of the long census reveals the importance this information plays in their plans to tax and control every aspect of life.

 That's it, it's about control and social engineering.  I guess those  in the  Lame Stream Media outraged about this non-issue enjoy the infringement of  their privacy.  They must relish the government and the unelected bureaucracy controlling every aspect of their lives.   The coalition of the losers love the thought of controlling everything we do and say and social engineering. After all they are the parties of big (brother)government and love the big government social  welfare programs.

The less government knows about our private lives the better and the more freedom we have.  Our freedoms are being eroded little by little everyday without us even realizing it.  We must not be sheep led to the slaughter.  We must protect and fight for our freedoms.  It's worth it.  That's why I support Tony Clement and the PM for taking this action on the long form census.

Next thing  this government should tackle is the  Human Rights Tribunal, Section 13 of the Human Rights Act and the erosion of  our free speech.

 

 

CBC Keeps Smearing Our Troops

What does CBC have against our troops?  They keep smearing them time after time.  The latest is the Wikileaks document that claims  four of our brave soldiers were killed by friendly fire instead of Taliban fire.  Peter Worthington tells of a CBC interview he listened to recently that they had on with an unreliable source to discredit  the former Chief of Defense Staff and others. Former General Rick Hiller and others had come out to set the record straight about what really happened.

Leave it to the CBC to smear our troops.
The most startling aspect for Canadians in the 92,000 documents supposedly leaked by the gadfly outfit WikiLeaks, was four Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan in 2006 were victims of friendly fire, not enemy action.
Although DND, former military boss Gen. Rick Hiller, commanders in the field and troops involved in the action all insist it was Taliban fire that killed their comrades, the CBC chose to dispute this in a long interview with a person they described as a retired American general.

They just can't take former General Rick Hiller's word or the word of other's that were actually there of their recollections of that day.  They will drag anyone or anything out to make our troops look bad in hopes it will reflect on our current government as to make them look bad as well.  At least this government staunchly supports our men and women in uniform unlike the previous Liberal government who treated our military like crap. This government is making sure they have every thing they need in order to be a strong effective military.  In order to have a strong country you need a strong military.

General Hiller is way more credible than anyone that Mothercorp finds to twist the truth and I will believe him any day over what the CBC pushes. 
Shame on them! Time to shut them down. Sell the assets to SunTv.  It would at least help with our deficit reduction. They lost their credibility a long time ago as a trustworthy honest news organization.  
SunTV can't come soon enough to take the CBC and other news organizations to task on their blatant attempts to not tell the real story about what is going on issues like this and other topics.

Pandering to Quebec to Buy Votes?

Well that's what L.Ian Macdonald is suggesting that PM Harper do to gain seats in Quebec and win a majority government come next election.  He suggests since Quebec is trying to get an NHL franchise back and a bid for the 2022 Olympics that the Conservative government throw money at an NHL caliber arena so that they can have a good chance at bidding for both. He thinks that would win seats for the CPC.

 And that would be a commitment to match the Quebec government's pledge of $175 million to build an NHLcalibre hockey arena in Quebec City. Throw in another $50 million promised by the city and that would probably leave another $100 million in costs that would be covered by selling naming rights to an arena. The move would buttress both Quebec City's bid for the 2022 winter Olympics and, more immediately, for an NHL franchise and the return of the Nordiques.

 L.Ian is suggesting that really taxpayer money from the ROC namely the west  should go to La Belle province to buy votes. Look, I have nothing against the Olympics or the NHL. but throwing money at Quebec, just to buy some more votes?  I don't know, that's what's been happening  since the beginning of Confederation and it's never enough. Governments and parties have been giving that province special attention forever.  They always have their hand out wanting more. It think Quebec has gotten enough funds through equalization etc.

Would it actually win more votes for the CPC?  Who knows?  I don't really think so.  Quebec is fickle, you can never really count them to come through. I say PM Harper should just go back to giving ALL the provinces more autonomy which is  fair to everyone . Every province should be treated the same.  No favorites, please.

BTW, I think it's possible to win a majority without Quebec.  We are only ten short.  If we retain the ones we have, take the one back in Edmonton, a few in BC, a few in Ontario like Mark Holland's seat. I don't think Danny Williams is going to go the route of ABC again so we have a good chance at taking back those we lost in NFLD. 

Mr. Ziffy's Summer School Field Trip

I guess all Michael Ignatieff's elite schooling hasn't helped him  learn  much about what hard working Canadians are all about. So his handlers thought summer school might just do the trick. Instead of retreating to his villa in France, they gave  him an assignment. They sent him on a  bus  tour, a field trip to learn about our vast country and to  change his image as one who is an elite into just a normal regular schmuck, Joe Sixpack.   Don MacPherson calls the Mr. Ziffy's cross country magical bus tour  a  field trip.

 Michael Ignatieff is spending his summer on a cross-country field trip, assigned by his handlers to some light pre-campaign training while trying to transform his image from effete intellectual snob to red-ball-cap-wearin', hockey-, beer-and natural-wilderness-lovin' Regular Guy.
That is, if your idea of a Regular Guy is somebody wearing jeans, long sleeves and cowboy boots in Quebec in July, as if he is either lost (the Calgary Stampede is four provinces thataway, pardner) or two months early for the St. Tite western festival.
Or an asparagus, which is what Ignatieff answered an interviewer on a television food show whose final question was if he were a vegetable, which one he would be. According to La Presse columnist Stephane Laporte, the segment ended without further explanation. 

 He is not exactly setting the country on fire. Some at the beginning were touting him as  the second coming of Trudeau.  He's gaffe prone, a flip, flopper and looks  so fake as " a regular guy" like when he was photographed recently drinking a can of Molson. 

So when Ignatieff ostentatiously drank a Molson Dry from the can, he looked not so much like a man relaxing and enjoying a cold one as one who was trying to look the part in an act for the cameras.

The first couple of weeks, the media was all a buzz until they figured out that magical bus tour was, well not so magical. The national media in fact has been rather sparse in their reporting.  Not really much coverage  to tell you the truth.  They instead have used the fake long form census story as a deflection from the less than inspiring Liberal bus trip.

There's still plenty of the  tour left. Maybe things will turn around  but at this point, I kinda doubt it but then again you know what they say about politics.  "A week in politics is like an eternity."
No matter how hard he tries, he's just not one of us.  The party  echelon should just let him be himself.
Canadians are not stupid.  They can smell a fake a mile away. 

I got a feeling Canadians are  not going to give him a that good of a grade at the end this field trip.  So far I don't think he's quite making an A.  I would say more like a C-.  What say you?  How would you grade Mr.  Ziffy's field trip so far?

Good News for Canada, Bad News for Iffy Liberals

Well is seems that our federal government will be able balance the books a year earlier than what was planned according the Conference Board of Canada.

OTTAWA — So long as the federal government keeps its pledge on curbing program  spending, Ottawa should return to a surplus position one year ahead of schedule based on how the economy is unfolding, the Conference Board of Canada said Thursday.

Mr. Iffy's Liberals and the Liberal cheerleader media won't be happy about this good news.   They have been talking down Canada from the beginning of the recession.  Iffy said from the get go he wanted nothing to do with it and that the PM would have to wear it. They offered no help.  The opposition and the media were bellyaching complaining the government was spending not enough then too much.  Then the howls of protest because the deficit was too high at the same time the coalition of the losers would have implemented national daycare, pharmacare, etc. which would would have put us in such a economic state we'd be going down the road of Greece.  It would have been spend, spend, spend and no way to get out. They can't have it both ways.

I believe the Libs and their media thought for sure this would bring the big bad Harper government down and it would be easy street for them to take back the keys to 24 Sussex.    It is not quite turning out like that to their dismay.  That's why all the outrage about things that really don't matter to the average Canadian like fake lakes, census etc.

I can't find any comments from Iffy or any of his cabal on this good news.  No comments either from any other of the opposition for that matter. Where's  Budget Officer, Kevin Page, what has he got to say about this?  It's news that should be shouted from the roof tops. 

It's obvious Canada is in good hands and another good reason why we need a Conservative majority to continue with the plan.   If you have any doubts, just look at other countries.  We have it good in comparison.
