Our mandate is to preserve the culture and history of the west. There is not one dollar of federal grant money available for us to take our cultural show on the road.Absolutely NOTHING! BUT, the Quebec 'artitistes' tour the world on my dollar and squeal like 3 year olds with loaded diapers if they don't get their entitlements!

I can understand the CBC trying to protect their butts from cuts. I can understand where the red Star is coming from. I can't understand the change in tune in the pro-business papers like the G&M and Post that are now engaging in these character assassinations of the PM were just months ago they endorsed him for election. Is the Canadian business establishment lining up behind Ignatieff and pulling the rug out from under PMSH? The media are just the tools of the big corporates. So who is pulling the strings and why? I’ll ask again: What’s going on?

I am blown away that was excellent! The PM was clearly in control despite Mansbridges' ridiculously rude behavior. He was firm and clear in his answers but stayed polite and pleasantly smiled at times when I would have snapped at Mansbridge. I am so proud of the man we ELECTED! Finally, I am really pleased he put to rest the pathetic lie the lefties are spreading; claiming the PM EVER tried to form a coalition in the past. For goodness sake, you know they are reaching when they take a push for throne speech concessions and mutual voting against Paul Martin's government as some sort of hidden conspiracy. It bothers me that some people believe this junk even though the truth was widely reported at the time (for a change) so anyone with a memory knows it’s a lie. The liberals always try the “you are just as bad as we are deep down” line. No, they are not. No one is as bad as the hydra (my new name for the coup coalition). In Europe coalitions are elected as such; so that comparison ends there. What the hydra is trying to do has never been attempted (probably never imagined) in all the Commonwealth. The King-Byng affair was completely different. King’s coalition was ELECTED as a coalition and formed government; but the deal broke apart after (literally) three days in Parliament. When the coalition dissolved and King’s liberals lost the confidence of the house, Byng simply gave governance to the party that had been elected with the most seats: Meighen’s Conservatives. That actually makes sense and is as different from the coup attempt as night and day. Canada is now unique in history as the only country in the Commonwealth where the opposition parties came together to attempt a coup; let alone doing it with the separatist party dedicated to the breakup of the country! Treasonous wretches! There are other examples outside the Commonwealth of course; but they are almost all third world and most turn violent. Not the kind of thing we want to emulate. I thought I was angry after the sponsorship scandal. Ha! That was a puddle compared to the ocean I feel now. The parties who are participating in this coalition (Bloc, NDP, Liberal and Green) have lost my vote forever. I’ve made a promise to myself that this day onward they will never have my vote as long as I live. I don’t vote for monstrous, power hungry traitors. That leaves me with one option doesn’t it? I finally broke down and mailed my membership form. I hung back for a long time but this is the last straw and the three stooges (four counting May) have pushed me firmly in the Tory camp in their frightening lust for power. The image of Dion, Duceppe and Layton signing, shaking hands and smiling over that contract is forever burned in my brain. Sorry about the rant Jo. This has been simmering for a while and I had to get it off my chest. Thanks for the link NeilD. I am blown away that was excellent!

This is the real reason they're working to make sure he doesn't get one. The talking heads and management at CBC could care less about who the Liberals put up to lead them, how corrupt they are or how they connive to get and attain power. Nothing matters except power for the Liberals. The whole CBC is teeming with Liberals and many are married to, and have family working in the media. The deck is well stacked against Conservatives.

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:37:21 +0000 http://www.bluelikeyou.com/?p=1773#comment-35596 The PM has nothing at all to apologize for. The CBC is vastly out of touch with the feeling of Canadians. I sure that Mr. Harper knew that much going into the interview. The CBC is notorious for setting folks up. Didn't work this time on Harper so now they're trolling with the NDP who are HUGE losers in this coalition deal. I'm pretty sure that most Canadians don't want a marshmallow for a leader or an ass-kisser either for that matter. Perhaps if the PM gave the CBC their own reason to kiss his ass we'd see the shoe on another foot? The PM has nothing at all to apologize for.

That is what the cbc want, PMSH kissing their feet, or perhaps higher up, and he wont do it. But, Keith also said that Iggy is still lukewarm to the coalition and might be easier to work with and the budget might pass. But, he also said, he could not see how trust could be negotiated and Layton says the House has lost trust in the PM. Polling and donations will probably be the main reason for the libs to say no to the coalition and pass the budget. Keith Boag just now saying that the PM did not apologize or anything yesterday.

Doesn't look good for the G&M, it does tell us a lot about them. When it comes to hateful comments about the PM they're allowed. SALEM SHAWORSKI is lucky to be living in Canada, (if he is a citizen). There are places in the world where comments like that would not be tolerated.

"Michael, we hardly know ye" by Kelly McParland. It's getting more bizarre by the hour with the Liberals. This Ignatieff dude they've been fixing to anoint for some time is still a mystery and an unknown quantity. The crazy for power Liberals are frantically trying to pull a rabbit out of the hat and gain power using the very entrails of the democratic process to do it. Oh to be a fly on the wall when Iggy meets with the PM to talk economics. If the truth be known, Iggy has less qualifications for the job than Dion but he has all the right qualities Liberals seek, it's all about window dressing and gobbledygook to fool the people. If they think they can pull a coup with Iggy at the head to lead the country at this critical time, we will have proof they care nothing about Canada or the democratic process. This stuff happens in banana republics, we get to ELECT our PM's and they're going to find that out if they try any fancy maneuvers. Two columns in the National Post today say it all:
