[Letter] Roadmap to a balanced budget: Maximizing government efficiency
As outlined in Budget 2010: Leading the Way on Jobs and Growth, our Government has a clear three-point plan to return to a balanced budget. First, we will wind down as planned the temporary measures in the Economic Action Plan. These investments are protecting and creating jobs now. Second, we will take action to ensure government lives within its means. And third, we will conduct a comprehensive review of government administrative and overhead... [Read More...]
What Canadians are conerned about is determined by…?
OK, PM has determined that Canadians aren’t concerned about the Afghan-detainees-gate controversy. And he told us that we only care about the economy. Well, he’s really getting closer in thinking with the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP has always believed that as long as the people flourish economically, they’ll turn a blind eye to every ill of society. Surprise surprise. Torstar – Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canadians... [Read More...]
Harper kills parliament until after Olympics… what kind of democracy Canada has?
I’m very, very angry. Last year when the opposition threatened to bringing down the Tories with a coalition — which is completely legal and constitutional in Canada — Harper could still remotely, barely able to justify to ask GG for a prorogue. But this year… it’s absolutely unjustifiable… it really is an abuse of power. It’s clear that he is proroguing to avoid scrutiny on the Afghan detainee issues. And... [Read More...]
Letter: Upcoming choice – Coalition compromise or ideological intolerance
Dear editor, Doesn’t Stephen Harper get it? “If we do not get a majority, the Liberals, the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois will combine and they will form a government … If we do not win a majority, this country will have a Liberal government propped up by the socialists and the separatists,” Stephen Harper said in Sudbury, where Progressive Conservative Stephen Butcher was bumped as the last Tory candidate in favour of an evangelical...

Tories anti-gay??
With time passes as Tories continues to rule this land, something like this should be expected to happen — only more. >:( CanWest — Tourism Minister Diane Ablonczy has been stripped of responsibility for administering a major tourism funding program after she signed off on a grant for Toronto’s gay pride week.

1 in 5 Canadians don’t think Tories have strength at all: poll
Nanos National Poll – Strengths and Weaknesses of the Conservative Government (Completed June 1) The latest Nanos poll helps one understand the overall image of the Conservative government of Canada. By asking Canadians, unprompted, to articulate their views of strengths and weaknesses we can get to the nuance of what people associate with the government without introducing any content or information. The research indicates that Canadians are... [Read More...]
More fire from Raitt tape
Oooops, more oil to the burning fire….. It’s really, really a competence issue on Ms Jasmine MacDonnell — accidentally taped a private conversation? accidentally left the recorder in the washroom? Come on, these are unacceptable behaviours even for a clerk and she was the communication DIRECTOR? Raitt was just unfortunate to have such an aide. However, the response of Jim Prentice is disappointing. The “It-doesn’t-say-Jim-Prentice-at-any-point”... [Read More...]
Poll says negative ads biting back Tories
I think the problem with the Tory negative ads this round is that the negative message is NOT convincing. When I watch the ad saying “he’ll go back to Harvard” I can’t help LOL. Do you have anything to support that claim? It’s not just pure guess, it also shows how much envy the Tories have over their opponent’s record as a Harvard professor. And the clip that has Ignatieff saying about the American thing, it’s... [Read More...]
Tory MP doesn’t like party’s attack ads
The Liberal (federal) war room was too happy about this article published by the Kamloops This Week today. Afterall, it IS interesting. I wonder what kind of punishment from her boss Ms McLeod would face :P McLeod pans party ads Recent released Tory ads attacking Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff have failed to impress at least one Conservative MP. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod said she doesn’t like the ads and would prefer to take... [Read More...]
Climate change deniers appointed to top boards
Some diggings from the Green Party of Canada… just don’t want to let this one get unnoticed. Climate Change Deniers Appointed to Top Boards OTTAWA–In another behind the scenes attack on science, the Conservative government has appointed well-known climate change deniers to key funding agency positions, setting the stage for shutting down much needed research in Canada. “I am unfortunately not surprised by this newest outrage,”...
