UNBIASED CBC?

I watched the CBC week Peter Mansbrige roundup with 3 selected guests tonight, reflecting on the past week in Politics. Even though there was no professed Tory on the panel, as opposed to a Past NDP member, there was representation from the acedemia. Discussion was surprisingly fair, but after this segment, they 'checked the blogs'. Now we all know the most popular blogs and the number of visitors and the quality of the comments and discussions. But the only one that I read and heard about was the 'Calgary Grit'.. No SDA, so 'Angry', no Kinsella, none of the blogs writen by candidates.. needless to say the reflections were not only bland, but predictable and in my mind, biased towards the Liberals..

Still, he then interviewed Rick and it was a much better discussion of the Tory success, and what they need to do for the last week.

Meanwhile, my wife and I have visited the Advance Poll and cast our ballots.. it was busy and lineup steady.. I think it bodes well for a good turnout this year.. Please get out and vote.. otherwise, you have no right to complain or take credit for anything the new government does.


Liberals spend $1M for Canada Logo

"The federal Liberal government allowed the word Canada and the Canadian flag to be used to launder money."

"-- can be found on most government websites, on all federal government buildings and also at special events sponsored by the feds."

"Canadians paid $1 million for the development of something they already owned."


"This corrupt government actually used our country's name and flag in a devious scheme to launder money. It's disgusting."



The Calgary Sun - Feds' million-dollar baby

John Crosbie doesn't mince words!

"My assessment of Mr. Martin is that if he sat in the sewer, he would add to it. I was active in politics for 27 years, 10 as a provincial elected member and 17 as a federally elected member, and I've been interested and involved in it all my life. This is certainly the worst behaviour I have seen of any party leader."

LIBERAL VOLUNTEERS - CAMPAIGN MGR QUITS..

When lawn signs for Liberal candidate Patricia Whittaker arrived at her campaign office, they were not only late, but her name was spelled wrong.

That was the last straw for her campaign manager, James Green, and he announced his resignation.

"I had to ask myself, 'Do you want to be the captain of the Titanic?'"

LIBERALS CLAIM THEY SPENT MORE ON MILITARY THAN PREVIOUS GOVERNMENTS

Damian Brooks has been looking at a Canadian Press article which shows that that big budget increase for DND isn't quite as big as the Liberals would have you believe.

Breaking News



Harper states at news scrum that the BC candidate failed to disclose his impending legal action regarding a smuggling charge. Thus, altho it is too late to pull him from the Tory race in that area, even if he should win the election there, he cannot sit as a Tory representative in the next parliment, until such matters are resolved.

A Point of view for all those Liberal Backers..



Consider the consequences of your actions.. Is this what you really want for Canada?

If the Liberals win this election

"January 23rd will prove to be one of the most important elections in Canadian history. Now I know all politicians say the same about every election, but this time I think it’s true. What’s on trial here isn’t any political party, or any individual leader. Canadians will be passing judgment on greed, corruption, accountability and Canada itself.

If the Liberals win this election, even a minority government, Canadians will be saying that it’s ok to steal taxpayers’ hard earning money, to lie and break promises, and to disrespect our democracy. If the Liberals win this election, there will be nothing to ever stop future governments from doing the same. Cronyism and backroom deals will become the norm." ... more ....

Signs the press are getting bored

If you rearrange Paul Martin's name, you come up with A Latin Rump.


andrewcoyne.com: Signs the press are getting bored


Andy Rooney - comments..


Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:

"I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don't like my point of view, tough... DON'T PASS IT ON,

But I'm sure the majority of you will since you've been thinking most of these things anyway."

Equally true for Canada... ed..

Why I would vot Liberal - NOT

Because I believe in the extent to which the Official Languages Act is
carried out and enforced; that every public servant even in the most
remote part of B.C. should be fluent in the French language, but that
government business in Quebec should be in unilingual French.

Because I believe that only lawyers from the province of Quebec are
qualified to be prime minister of Canada.

Because I believe that the federal government should be completely
controlled by the province of Quebec.

Because I believe that all criminals are just poor misunderstood victims
of
society and can all be easily rehabilitated in a very short period of time
and that only they have "rights"; not the victims of their crimes.

Because I believe that hardened criminals like Karla Homolka should be
pampered by living in a "cottage" with her own key and be allowed to have
pajama parties and go out on shopping trips; and that killers in prison
"resorts" on the Pacific coast should eat filet mignon, have barbecues, go
whale watching and have their own golf course, while our senior citizens
have to eat left over Kraft Dinner.

Because I believe that mass murderers under that age of 18 should be
protected by the Young Offenders Act and the rest of us law-abiding
citizens do not have the right to know who they are.

Because I believe in bringing hundreds of thousands of unskilled people
into Canada from third world countries every year so we can support
them on
welfare and so that they will vote Liberal; and that this number
should be
increased every year.

Because I believe that it is fair that the province of Quebec is the sole
province allowed to be in charge of its immigration policy; that they
receive 5 times the amount of federal immigration money than does
Ontario, even though Ontario has to teach those people how to speak
English
whereas Quebec only allows immigrants to enter who already
know the French
language.

Because I believe that we do not have a right to own land in Canada,
as it
is under Liberal law.


Because I believe it is only fair that Liberals steal as much tax money as
they can from us; through every conceivable means from the HRDC
boondoggle to the 2 billion dollar gun registry that does not work.

Because I believe that if my family is the victim of a home invasion I
should not have the right to protect them in our own home. Because I
believe in huge government bureaucracy and extremely high
taxes, as I believe that the government knows how to spend my
money
better than I do.

Because I believe in having essentially no military because everyone
loves us and we will never be called upon to protect our country.

Because Jack Layton is not a lawyer from Quebec so he is not qualified to
be prime minister; besides, he smiles too much.

Because Stephen Harper is not a lawyer from Quebec and he and the
Conservative Party of Canada have a hidden agenda and they are very
scary
people.

Because I believe that we should alienate our neighbours to the south
because all Americans are morons and know nothing about Canada;
and that
we should continue to align ourselves more closely with our true
friends,
France, China and Russia.

Because I believe everything that the Liberal controlled media tells me,
especially the CBC.

Because I believe that no one should ever be held responsible or
accountable for their own actions in today's society. It is always
someone else's fault.

Because I believe that we should not expect newcomers to our country to
accept or adapt to our culture and traditions and customs; and that we
should not wish each other "Merry Christmas" in case it might be
offensive to some.

Because I have the IQ of a doorknob and am easily sucked in by Liberal
scare tactics and propaganda; and am easily bought off with my own tax
money.
