Macleans.ca : Guergis, Bernier, and the PM's secrets

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 20:40:33 +0000

*choke* Somewhat intelligent & strong? Did you have the sound turned off? What a good idea. Except he still looks like a dweeb. Levant is good only for interruptions and self-indulgent indignation. I only watch him to see how long it is before his face goes red and blotchy and his eyes start bulging because someone/anyone shoots down his belligerent and nasty arguments. Talk about an unarmed opponent. What he and Kory are doing on CBC I have no idea. Thank god for Kady.

Exactly what is the chattering class according to you SteveWBCanada? The 70% or so that will not vote for a conservative?

Yeah, and the LINOs* in BC are real Liberals. Try reformers, alliance types and a few old socreds. Not a Liberal in the bunch. Gordo the drunk felon is as liberal as Klein and Harris wrapped up in a ball and glued together by Stockboy. *LINO = Liberal In Name Only I love this page, I don't ever want to stop smacking Steve. I love it when his eye balls bulge!! Is there a smack Gordo page?

Macleans.ca : How do you feel about Ottawa’s decision to install full-body scanners at Canadian airports?

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 03:45:33 +0000

It is not the Americans that have rushed to have these naked scanners installed. It is our own Con Government. No discussion, no chit chat with other parties or even the airlines. Baird and his buddies in the DOD or whoever said let's play the fear card...again. Let's see how far we can push it...again. We took away their water bottles and their make-up and toothpaste in their carry-on. Now let's feel them up and look at them naked and take away their books and magazines too. All of them. Canadians: Young women of 18, Young men too, mothers with 2 or three kids and their diaper bags (what about twins and all their gear?) and activity bags going to meet the father who is not there to help. Fat men/women, skinny women/men, healthy men/women, unhealthy men/women, body conscious women/men, frightened of being touched by strangers /women/men, exhibitionists, etc. Regular Timmy's folks, who work hard and play by the rules. Remember that? That's how the Con Gov treats now. Each of us is a potential terrorist. Why do I think it's not such a stretch that each electronic image would not be kept on file as instantly as the next person steps up to be scanned. Baird wouldn't think that such "information" could possibly be useful (or at least fun) wouldn't he?

Thanks MLB, Exactly right on pretty well all counts. These "naked" scanners are something Baird wanted implemented and the new mantra "when the US is attacked, we are attacked", is just convenience. He already had the scanners on order. It didn't matter how weak the attack was. One sad, disturbed, lonely, inept kid would do. Anyone hear about Baird and the Pakistani terror flight he held over at Pearson's last summer? Held them on some 9/11 rule never used before. Screwed the pooch big time too Baird did, the idiot. Jan 13 2020 "Transport minister invoked secret security order last summer: report" /...OTTAWA — A secret ministerial security order involving a Pakistan airline which operates flights out of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport was issued last summer by Transport Minister John Baird, CBC News reported Tuesday evening. According to the broadcaster, Pakistan International Airlines was the subject of an order that falls under Section 4.72 of Canada’s Aeronautics Acts — an amendment created after 9/11, but one that had previously not been used. /...That source told CBC that tales of an international bomb plot emerged a few weeks after the measure was put in place — and if such an explosion were to have happened, the manner in which Baird’s order was to be carried out could have cost additional lives. (Baird refused to have the planed isolated from the terminal, passengers and other planes.) The plot involved a plan whereby bomb-making materials would be smuggled on to a PIA flight destined for Toronto. Those materials would then be crafted into a bomb and put back on another PIA flight in a bid to place suspicion on Canadian individuals, rather than those in Pakistan. "And it would explode somewhere on its return back to its origin," CBC quoted the source as saying. According to the report, Baird’s undisclosed order is no longer being followed after a disagreement over who would cover its costs..../ mmm, an attack on us and the US too? Or only on Baird's brain?

I've only seen the one add, rather, I've heard it on the news on tv. There are more? umm... Harper has given a Christmas present to himself when he thought the people of Canada would not notice.../ Like that or similar. I don't think people did notice for a couple of days. Simple sleazy, about what was expected.

It's not that the media or anyone else is ignoring Harpers assorted bits of litigation, it's just that he's got so many going on. And now we learn of some he's kept secret like the case with the MPCC and that one is three years old. How many cases does he have on the fly? What happens if he loses his PM gig, does all this litigation just go away or does the poor loser who inherits his mess get to sort it out? Bet it all hits the news then? If he had lost do you think he would want the press? And did he have Dimitri call CBC, (they have CTV on retainer) and all the rest and tell them that the judge had made a decision? Didn't they send out a photo?

Everyone here should take the winter off. You are all getting predictable. Take some time and maybe try something totally and completely different.

The Rockies and the Coast Mts between me and Edmonton are just fine hon. Nice that you missed the point and got to name all sorts of the others tho. Good on you. Vancouver elite, ha. Too many years up the coast and on the island and p past Mackenzie for that. Only reason I'm on the North Shore now is family. Grand babies have a tremendous pull and the newest one is sooo cute. And I have all these really fun offensive tee-shirts and someone has to teach these kids right from right, right? The eldest is printing signs with me now:)

A couple of things: 1. Out west, the real west, Vancouver and such, not Edmonton or that side of two sets of mountains, we know all about the detainee issue (and everything else) and Mackay's and the general's shameful song and dance. Are those Canadian "values"? We also know that Harper has taken the MPCC to court to shut them up and that this has been going on for three years. Why do those out east insist that we do not know and that we care even less. We know and we are pissed! 2. The prorougement (is that a real word? just checking) is just an excuse to go to the olympics... but not the paralympics. It's held the third week of March. I guess they are not special enough for the Cons. Flaherty as much as said that they'd be shut down until after the games. He of the smarmy grim and the "I love the Olympics". 3. Paul, I have a couple of tee-shirts that can get us arrested if you're interested. There's a good chance that the weather will be balmy in town and it's a shame to waste the $billion worth of security. Of course I have no tickets to anything remotely olympic related. I live here and I will be paying for it in ways that OntarioTown cannot imagine. (His taxes not so much.) Have been for years already. Not sure about the lock-up accommodations. Drunkin' Gord the Felon has kept that one from us so far but my guess it's at least an hour or two bus ride out of town. Arrgghh!! Can you imagine?! Harp and his crew, wandering about Vancouver and Whistler doing photo-ops with athletes and "vips". omg! I wish I could leave town. Happy New Year Paul to you, yours and all the rest!

Macleans.ca : What Canadians really believe

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 05:56:30 +0000

The sheep are not killed for their wool. They are sheared. You know that, right , Rebecca? Fur is not counted as a natural fiber. Cotton, linen and such are. Rayon, nylon, dead little naugahydes, are not natural at all. These would have some of your petroleum products in them. Lower life form? I think you qualify sweetheart. Now, if we put you and a hungry doberman in a room, who would come out on "top of the food chain". There are so many stupid comments to this article that I can only assume that most didn't read the entire thing and there was a full moon. Sheesh, I'm embarrassed that there are so many stupid people out there claiming to be Canadian.

I don't think she has a source. She was away from her desk for only a moment and when she came back ! there they were! a stack of redacted emails. All of them! No one could have been more surprised than Blatchford. I mean it's happened before, it's not such a stretch that it would happen to her. Right? OK? You believe me? um, her? Doncha?

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:12:18 +0000

SH is still bugged because MJ got to meet with Prez. Obama before him... as she should. As long as MJ is the Queens representative with all the rights and obligations that go with that position, yes, she is Canada's "head of state". Harper is only the PM. 1st among equals. (ignore the coffee that just blew out of my nose!) That position also has rights and obligations, but pouting about his place in the greats scheme of things, too bad. He has plenty he should be doing without posing for more pics and making more of his position than it is. He gets to be "Right Honourable" and that should be good enough.... with emphasis on honourable and less on being right.

I don't care if Steve really sang or really played, so long as he does not do it again. But I do wonder why his face is so grey? I thought it was how the light was landing on him but he remains grey throughout; while playing, while walking off and on the stage, while taking a bow. And Yo Yo and everyone else look live. Maybe that was it, a bad hologram of Steve:)

I'm still waiting for the website/pages that the "harper party" promised to have up so everyone and anyone could see for themselves how many new ice arenas were built and newly filled pot holes there are and what they cost and how many people were put to work. That might have worked for KP and us too. But maybe not. The con's idea of a useful and/or attractive website is pretty wretched. Here in BC, in my corner of the lower mainland we are cleaning up a baseball diamond... because we are hosting the Canadian Little League Championship in 2011. Our field will rival Williamsport, Pennsylvania! That makes it all worthwhile. $200,00 from the feds. They only announced it Monday AM. No wonder there was hardly anyone there for Andrew Saxton's photo op. opps, time for the C-50 vote!
