Obligatory HST post
Lots of "outrage" over the move to harmonize the two sales taxes.
The liberals of course are saying they oppose this.....
So?
Does this mean that if they are government they would reverse this decision?
Perhaps reduce the federal portion....sort of what Harper promised to with the GST.....and followed through on?
Or will they recommit to Chretien's classic promise to kill the fed tax?
Perhaps this is another issue they are against until its time to commit to speedy passage through the senate.
Hey guys, seeing as you have decided to have your senators not hold up legislation anymore, perhaps you could get that senate reform legislation passed.

Just a reminder of whats wrong with the LPC
This is a quote froma post I did some time ago....still holds true today and is an explaination of why the CPC truth ad will frame Iggy quite well.
"During their leadership race It won't matter what
big ideas they can manage to co-opt from another party, or if they can fabricate a
leadership messiah, or find enough "mania" to create some juggernaut that will bring them "the biggest majority ever". Its about arrogance folks, and if there is one thing Canadians won't cotton to it's a bunch of elitist know-it-alls that
believe only they have all the answers.
This attitude comes across that as far as they are concerned:
Parents can't raise their own kids. (national childcare)
Parents can't handle $100 a month.
Health care is a very complex issue.
Legitimate gun owners are unable to secure their own weapons. (the Gun registry)
Natives can't make it out in the real world on their own. (Kelowna Accord)
Drug addicts need safe injection sites. (liberal policy)
If marijana was decriminalized drugs wouldn't be a problem. (liberal policy)
Street gangs need basketball courts.
Prostitutes need trade unions and safe place to ply their "trade". (liberal policy)
Global warming won't go away unless we buy some hot air credits from countries that are polluting. (carbon tax)
"People can't help themselves, they need our (liberal) guidance".
Its like they forgot what the concept of free will actually means. Now here's a shock for any so-called liberals that happened to get lost in a late night web browse and found yourself here. The majority of Canadians are folks that go to work and make a fair wage for a fair days work, then they go home to their families and they sit down to dinner together. Heck some of them even say grace. Then afterwards, unlike the minority of us political watcher types, they might watch some TV, but not if the weather is good. They go outside and meet with friends. On Sunday some of them go to church, or not. You see these people around you all the time. But
where you don't see them is at a protest march or being a rent a mob for the cause of the moment.
Here's another shock for you, about 99.9 % are not into alternative lifestyles.
The majority are Joe and Jane Sixpack. Ordinary folks, with ordinary lives. Maybe their kid needs braces, or plays on the little league team. They might be a two income family, they might not. For that matter the wages they make are pretty average, not six figure, but they manage what they have, and if the government would quit coming up with "social programs" to advance the latest cause du jour they may just be able to hang on to a little bit more of it. I guarantee you that if the government doesn't have a national program to babysit their pre-school kids they would still muddle through. People do that, they encounter difficulties in life, they overcome them, or they adjust and adapt to the new reality. Nobody said life was suppose to be easy...except liberals."
I'll also add that the government that makes some of life's decisions for you is one that will also take away the freedom to make that decision.
Independent thought is the bane of a liberals existence.
That and the fact that the ad is full of quotes straight from the horses mouth is why they work.
BTW
I'm going to go make a list of those signatories of the coalition to present to the liberal and NDP candidates that come knocking at my door next election. They can tell me why they where for a coalition with the Bloc before they where against it.

Question for those liberals in Canada that support Obama
On Aug 7 2007 it was reported that Barak Obama said
"The first step must be to get off the wrong battlefield in Iraq and take the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan."In January 2008 it was reported that Stephane Dion said:
"We are going to have to discuss that very actively if they (the Pakistanis) are not able to deal with it on their own. We could consider that option with the NATO forces in order to help Pakistan help us pacify Afghanistan," The next time some liberal tries to use the "Harper=Bush therefore would take us into Iraq" logic, I'll respectfully ask......If the next US president
wanted the world to join it in a unilateral
invasion of the
Darfur region of Sudan
without that governments permission, would they
oppose?
Oh I dunno,
like maybe this guy?
Neither Pearson nor Roy pretend that their endeavours in Sudan are likely to
bring an end to the strife that has plagued the country for more than 40 years.
"We don't have any big solutions," acknowledges Roy, digging into a tin of cold
beans after a long, hot day on the trail. "But I have been around a bit and can
recognize human suffering when I see it. All we are trying to do here is ease
some of that suffering by bringing people out of bondage. I think that's
worthwhile." She makes the comment near the end of her mission during which CSI
funds were used to purchase and free 4,968 slaves.
Thats an interesting link. Seems CSI isn't as noble an enterprise as its presenting itself to the world.....not a sinister agenda mind you, just terribly misguided. And I quote:
"With regard to the specific issue of "slave redemption", one of the few neutral
sources against which the claims made by Christian Solidarity International and
Baroness Cox can be assessed is the report by the Canadian government's special
envoy to Sudan, John Harker, into human rights abuses in Sudan. The Harker
report, 'Human Security in Sudan: The Report of a Canadian Assessment Mission',
was commissioned by the Canadian government and published in February 2000. One of the two missions with which John Harker was tasked was to:
"independently investigate human rights violations, specifically in reference to allegations of slavery and slavery-like practices in Sudan.""
Its about 106 pages of a pdf. But some of the "meat" is on page seven.
"The UNICEF workers said there is no evidence that “redemption” is actually fuelling the abduction problem, whether the redemption was real or "staged". Several informants reported various scenarios involving staged redemptions. In some cases, SPLM officials are allegedly involved in arranging these exchanges, dressing up as Arab slave traders. The profits are used to support the SPLM/A, buy arms and ammunition, and even to build a power base in opposition to John Garang, which, it is said, has caused a rift in SPLM/A, because those who object (including Garang) are reluctant to publicly expose it for fear of splintering the rebel movement. Sometimes a "redeeming group" may be innocently misled, but other groups may be actively committed to fundraising for the SPLM/A, and deliberately use "slave redemption" as a successful tactic for attracting Western donors. We did speak with an eyewitness who can confirm observing a staged redemption and this testimony conformed with other reports we had from a variety of credible sources. Interestingly, even UNICEF has been accused of "Staged abduction redemption", in their case of recycling children from IDP camps. The accusations force UNICEF to be sure to focus on proper documentation, and it wishes CSI and others lived by the importance of this aspect of the struggle."
Don't say you haven't been warned.

The next conservative attack ad
Can't really speculate on the format or how the script will run but I'll speculate on the basic idea here.
First
this"Last week, Ottawa-area MP Pierre Poilievre referred to "extremist elements" in the Liberal party that want to ease anti-terror laws and shut down the Air India inquiry. Liberals Omar Alghabra and Navdeep Bains called on Poilievre to apologize for making unsubstantiated accusations"
Remember they say its unsubstantiated, according to the two MP's no one in the liberal party is or associated with extremist elements.
But lets recall
this event at the liberal leadership convention.
"A flyer was circulated electronically among convention delegates denouncing Rae for having once delivered a speech to the Jewish National Fund, a group the flyer said was complicit in "war crimes and ethnic cleansing." "Rae's wife is a vice-president of the CJC (Canadian Jewish Congress), a lobby group which supports Israeli apartheid," said the flyer in bold letters superimposed over a close-up of Rae's face. "
Finished it up with a clip of Dion and his "thats not fair".
