Glenn Beck has a warning for Canada regarding the Robosmear – Watch out for the influence of George Soros and his minions especially now that there is a Conservative Majority in Canada (H/T Soccermom).:
Spin Assassin has more.
Certainly some of the allegations (especially in Guelph) needed to be thoroughly investigated, but the massive pile-on from the left to push for a public inquiry seems rather suspect.
JR has a novel approach – He is using Leadnow’s own form to fight back!
Since the previous post has passed the 300 comment mark, perhaps we can continue the discussion here.

Radical budget in the wings – Michael Den Tandt:
…Each piece of the puzzle is intriguing. Taken in its entirety, it is breathtaking. It marks a big change in direction, both for the Harper government and for Canada. Will the ensuing debate prove important enough to push the opposition, and the government, past the daily cut-and-thrust of charge and counter-charge, over robocalls? My guess is yes. Small wonder the anticipation, on the government side, is building.
John Ivison: New Guelph robocall attacks Tories, listen to the phone message here – National Post (with intriguing update). Yeah nobody is smelling like roses here. Thank heavens for John Ivison.
It positively disgusts me that the very people that have made it their life mission to diss the USA are the ones who appear to have their hand in the pockets of these meddling morons.
But then they seem to love Dictators, Bruts, Terrorists, Cheats and Liars, don’t they?
To sell out their own country in this way should be considered an act of treason and they all disgust me.
We need to cut off the heads of these snake organizations that disguise themselves as charities (and networks) with strong laws that strictly controls their fund raising facades and it needs to be done, yesterday.
the bottom line is “the Conservative core vote is stronger than that of either of the other two main parties” (Herbert in the Star today on why this issue has NOT put a dent in CPC support).
Also, it seems to me that the neither the oppositions or the LLLM (lib.lovin’lemming media) have clued in to the fact that the more they spin smack about Harper and the Conservatives the stronger we get. Bob Rae helps us even more!
Let them fill their boots because at the end of the day, just like at the end of EVERY other scandal-of-the-month fueled by the Liberals and NDP those two parties haven’t got a party or a base of support to speak of.
Nothing in the next while is going to change that.
It’s more than just Soros, It’s the entire American Prog supremacist movement who are meddling in our affairs.
Let there be no question that this is their counter attack against Canada and the Harper Government regarding the Keystone and Gateway pipelines. They don’t like how are public displeasure at being rejected was a negative for their puppet Obama.
This whole episode goes a long way to exposing the insidious infestation of the neo-communists that apparently are the soul of the modern liberal (progressive) movement.
Its’ well past time that this outside interfaces in Canadian politics be exposed for what it is, plus legislation which forbids outside funding for advocacy groups. These groups should be forced to follow upgraded ‘lobbying rules’ which includes posting their backers. Kinda like the warnings on cigarettes…
I include the UN in this group as they have lost all credibility about 30 years ago.
We also need a petition to the government which demands an end to this interference, including seizing the assets of these idiots.
Thanks Joanne. This stuff needs to get out there and circulate. People need to get angry about this and fight it.
Of course the left in Canada wants to nullify the results of the last election and have a do-over. Now they are getting big time help from the progressives to the south of us. Yesterday during Krista Erickson’s interview with Nycole Turmel, she was asked what outcome she wants to see from all of this. Turmel replied with something like “An inquiry, then we can GET ON WITH THE ELECTION”. Was that an English/French slip up or is that their nefarious plan?? Video at Sun News Network.
Also, re the link at The Blaze…Brian Lilley interviews some progressive in B.C. about this robocall thing. The guy denies American money is behind it. But he has a slip up when he inadvertently mentions “Move On”, (which is moveon.org , a well-known progressive agitator in the U.S.), then suddenly realizes his slip up and says “I have something in my eye”….it’s quite easy to spot on the clip…..
Oh yes, they’re working on this in cahoots. I think it’s time we conservatives begin joining hands from across the border to fight this disgusting menace. The American progressive left is all over this, and the oilsands. We need to fight back. NOW.
It’s like Beck says, progressives like democracy when it’s the result they want. If it isn’t, fight back and change the rules. That guy from B.C. that Lilley interviewed probably wants proportional representation. Yikes.
So now Canada’s Vichy Regime Opposition parties and their Toronto media collaborators are giving them cover and sustenance and are offering up Canada’s throat for evermore to these parasitic American Trojan Horsemen.
And for nothing more than a pat on the head from their American overlords.
Good Morning!
So another day looks like scandal #31 has shown up CBC is saying that 2,700 “late Applications were accepted in the TO riding that Conservative Joe Oliver won.
He beat Liberal Joe Volope.
Supposing for a moment that is an accurate report.
Elections Canada vets the voters.
Our advance poll in Qualicum was about an hour and a half wait on account of every voters address verified, very through.
If Elections Canada accepts voters without proper ID or verification it is on them, no one else.
They should not let people vote without checking them out.
If indeed this report is accurate, those “unregistered voters” could very well have been voting for the Liberal as well as the Conservative.
Again dark hints of improper behavior , Liberals are not only losers but sore losers.
The NDP and Liberals want Elections Canada to have more clout.
I see an article saying Conservatives are supporting the motion.
Perfect a chance to make some changes!
Careful what you ask for Opposition, you might just get it.

Ah yes, BB, I am waiting for the EC to investigate the ndp receiving money from the ‘American Unions’ during the last election; the monies sent by their voters to the ndp for Broadbent Institution.
Correct bubba brown, my wife and I volunteer to work as a DRO and Poll Clerk during the election, we are provided with the voter list which contains all current addresses by EC; it is up to the DRO & PC to verify identity of the voter through to forms of ID which has to be a driver`s license and or a credit card or utility bill. The license because it has a picture. This is done before a ballot is given out. If a particular voter is not on the register, he or she must be sworn or affirm by the Returning officer. During the vote the Political parties are allowed to send scrutineers to view how the vote is going, they intern will get a sheet indicating how the vote is going and contact their supporters from that list. Also, all RO, DRO PC and support must be a their corresponding poll station by 7:00 am to set up their station and cannot leave; they must bring a lunch. The DRO & PC remain after the polls close at 8:00 pm to tally and balance the ballots cast. Political parties have nothing to do with this process.
The Iceman has posted some of Pat Martin’s recent tweets. Gives you a sense of what goes through his mind.
http://pragmatictory.blogspot.com/2012/03/who-needs-public-inquiry-when-we-have.html
Here is one of those tweets that is particularly interesting:
“@Nicki_Doyle yeah but in agitate, educate, organize; we’re still at the ‘agitate’ stage. This is only starting to resonate and penetrate”
“Agitate, educate and organize.” That sounds very much like union lingo. Those are some of the steps unions would use to sign up workers prior to applying for bargaining agent status.
looks like another comment of mine hit the filter!! (Joanne, what am I doing wrong??)
Sorry Soccermom! The filter takes turns being mean.
Yeah that one didn’t make any sense because there were no links. Strange. Anyway it’s out now.
Progressives turn a legitimate protest into a farce, again.
Like with the hearings re: Northern Gateway Pipeline.
Seems the American groups are no longer satisfied with giving the Canadian progressives a (hidden) helping hand, they want to lead the charge.
Must be driving them crazy that they can get Obama to jump to their tune, but not PM Harper.
Liberals are making a huge mistake if they are co-operating on the sly with the Dippers on these smears.
Assuming the Vikileaks stuff was not a ploy discussed and approved by Liberal caucus.
I was surprised that Robin Sears was part of Leadnow, he’s played the ‘sensible’ Dipper role so well, I was fooled to think he was above this kind of crap.
Makes yah think Jack Layton was an A1 phony too.
I was surprised that Robin Sears was part of Leadnow.
Also interesting that Pat Martin was distancing himself from Ian Capstick who also seems to be involved with Leadnow.
When P&P’s Soloman brought on the political panel last night or the night before (Flanagan/Capstick etc)…in his intro he spoke very quickly words to the effect “Ian Capstick…who made up with Pat Martin …. “. Nothing else was said on the matter.
Those who are contesting the results of the election now are in effect contesting not only Elections Canada but also the results of the 4 judicial recounts that took place after the May 2 election.
http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/05/24/recount-confirms-tory-candidate-ted-opitz-for-etobicoke-centre/
“Recount confirms Tory candidate Ted Opitz for Etobicoke-Centre
Jessica Hume May 24, 2011
A judicial recount Monday confirmed the election of Conservative candidate Ted Opitz in the Etobicoke-Centre riding in Toronto.
The Rob Ford-backed candidate received 21,644 votes, only 26 more than Liberal incumbent Borys Wrezesnewskyj, who had represented the riding since 2004.
The recount in Etobicoke-Centre was one of four ordered after the May 2 federal election, with the others in Montmagny-L’Islet-Kamouraska-Riviere-du-Loup, Nippissing-Timiskaming and Winnipeg-North.
Under the Elections Canada Act, a recount is automatically performed when the difference between first and second place is less than one-one-thousandth of the total votes cast in the riding. On election night in Montmagny-L’Islet-Kamouraska-Riviere-du-Loup, conservative candidate Bernard Genereux appeared poised to take the riding, though the validation process the next day confirmed a victory for Francois Lapointe, the NDP candidate whose win by a mere 9 votes gave the party its 59th seat in La Belle Province. In Nipissing-Timiskaming, Conservative Jay Aspin beat Liberal Anthony Rota by only 18 votes.
Unlike the other three recounts, that in Winnipeg-North was not an automatic recount. The recount in that riding confirmed the election of Liberal Kevin Lamoureux, who took 9,097 votes, 44 more than the number cast for NDP candidate Rebecca Blaikie.”
So, those questioning the results do not accept Elections Canada’s results nor do they accept the results verified by the judges presiding over recounts.
I notice that the ridings being contested are former Liberal ridings. I’m not aware of either Mr. Genereux (the Conservative losing candidate) or Rebecca Blaikie (the NDP losing candidate) now contesting those results.
Gabby Michael Coren just described a robocall received by a conservative voter in Guelph about Marty Burke who served his country Canada in the military the Air Force in 2000 he retired from the Air Force and joined Air Canada
he has been awarded four medals including ones related to his duties with the United Nations in the middle east as a peace keeper.
the caller said he was against abortion etc……………..
I have not heard any conservative mention this

Welcome to Canada, George !
Jump right in to our progressive political swamp.
Frankly, I was getting tired of competing against the current mediocre political players in the anti-Harper universe. A guy like Soros will force me, and my fellow Canadian members in the VRWC (Vast Right Wing Conspiracy) to raise our game to a higher level.
It gets kind of boring, facing off against amateurs Trudeau, Turmel and Kady ‘Malley
on a daily basis.
Well said CJ!
Soros can spin those fools in any direction he wants. Have you seen the media, man, they will sell their soul to anyone that will help them get rid of the CPC.
Indeed, CJ, well said! You certainly remove the fear about these crazy mess of maggots and put the fight into the spirit!
From what I’ve seen so far, these meddling American liberal one-percenters are pretty un-informed about Canada–most importantly our federal FPTP parliamentary system, with it’s many Parties on the left, all hamstrung by our Party financing rules (thank you Chretien !). No Super-Pacs allowed up here.
Our Harper-led CPC team is going to be very hard to beat, even with Soros et al “helping” out the other side. That help can easily turn into a handicap, if voters sense that foreigners are unduly interfering in our democratic process.
Any westerners here, I would have sent the Glenn Beck video to David R. but I do not have access to do so via net. So, please, sent it now to David as soon as possible if you can. His show starts at 9am mt. Also send it to Lowell Green among others.
DON’T FALL ASLEEP FOLKS The battle to keep both the CPC and Canada from harm is just beginning. Why the CPC, because the OP have made it very of where they stand with and for canada.
The canadian msm have fallen into A HUGE TRAP and will be difficult for them to pull out unless they themselves shut down all these entities who are trying to invade our country and our resources.
SNN showed Glenn Beck’s video this morning. Was nice to see they picked it up.
Awesome!!! I did send them the link last night, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who did…send it out to as many people as you can think of….
Bridgett Pelerin on talking about it right now.
and currently showing the video.
REALLY interested in who went to the registrar in Manitoba, got copies of Minister Toews divorce papers, and shopped them out?
media? LibDipper ?
I wonder if said person can be charged with malicious intent?
especially under assume name , Wilson.
I’m thinking the hunt is also on for the identity of the Anonymous member responsible for the Toews youtube videos. The log of signatures in Manitoba may offer up clues.
Light is a great disinfectant. How many Canadians have no idea what’s been going on?? Watch the rats scurry now…
I hope Ezra,Brian Lilley and crew continue shining the light
The ones who have no idea what is going on can be for many reasons but, for those who have no clue but react( join in) to every negative the media puts out there ARE the ones, the media embraces to use as they wish.
GLENN BECK always points out “you don’t have to believe me you do your own research.”
I urge everyone to sign up for GBTV….he’s been right about so many things. Either $5 per month to get the TV show or $10 per month to get the works. I have been enjoying it immensely. It’s been very enlightening. GBTV.com
For the first time in 40 years the Alberta PC Party has launched attack ads against an opposition party.
REDford and her team have realized that Wildrose is a serious threat to the PC dynasty!
We are up against a Goliath.
Any help Conservatives here can give to the local ridings, please please do so!
example of the corruption here:
a committee of 21 MLAs gets paid $1000 month each,
and haven’t met since 2008 (40 months, no work) …….
http://www.wildrose.ca/
The Dog and Pony show continues……… So Turmel thinks we should have an Inquiry and then “get on with the Election” now there is a WTF moment.
Well can you imagine all this happening even 10 years ago the only source of news the mostly corrupt Media Party.
Here is a quote from the late Larry Zolf of CBC.
“Harpers treatment of the Media is that of an ingrate.
The Media made Harper.
The Media also made Trudeau and Mulrony.
The Media also made Trudeau and Mulrony suffer at the polls.
A similar fate awaits Harper if he dosen’t change his basic suspicion and hatred of reporters and “News” commentators.
Right now the PM urgently needs better Media relations if he wants to survive Minority status and go onto better things in the future.
Then along came the “Internet Thingy”
Make no mistake we are in a dogfight here they the coalition and their Media helpers are trying to overturn the 2011 election results.
Cheers Bubba
There would be no greater gift to our cause then to have the opposition somehow engineer another election. We should be doing everything we can to make this possible.
EXACTLY james!
Boob Rae should sit down before he digs a grave big enough for his entire party for which he is the interim leader
fh
Good Gawd! Are you watching Blather Boob Rae in HofC right now? They are speaking about the changes to Elections Act…he is just over-the-top!!
Carolyn Bennett looks like she had a bowl of lemons for brekkie today!
BAM! Tom Luwkiski (sp??) just NAILED Rae for LYING in HofC!
I strongly disagree with the speaker of the house brushing off Conservative Tom Lukiwiski when Tom expressed his concern about Boob Rae continuing his slimy smear of lies about the Conservatives only co-operating under court order
these Liberal LIES must stop STOP
fh
Under the Andrew Coyne story in the National Post at NNW the liberal and NDP sheep are quoting that letter from the green party person as some kind of fact of corruption by the Conservatives. I knew it. Wonder if it will be on The national?
CBC is already using the wildrose cherry picked clips about the bad bad conservatives in Alberta. if no one knew what was going on, they have it set up as if its the Harper Conservatives.
CBC is so evil I will never trust anything they ever say again.
Boob Rae on CPAC is lying again and the Conservatives called him on it.
The hell with the CBC….watch something else. You’re preaching to the converted.
Don’t trust them…don’t watch them. We have a choice now and we WON the election.
I agree, don’t watch the CBC. Don’t give them the ratings. I haven’t watched in ages. SNN is infinitely better. Haven’t watched CTV either in ages.
That’s been our downfall, we won the election, the opps and the media are going freaky, so have the Leftist movements from the US. Is this not considered interfering with our democracy, aiding and abetting the opposition?
For the NDP newbies who breezed through into the fed ndp government haven’t the faintest idea what the NDP policies is all about. IMO, they are indoctrinated and follow scripts may be the ones their constituents are complaing about since they thought that Jack and Jack they were voting for and no other.
Put a bike in a building with layton big smile at the back and Mr. bike gets elected.
Did you hear Mr Goodyear asking the ndp newbie what she thinks about their (ndp)involvement with ‘getting money from the unions which is illegal and the liberals who still owe thousands upon thousands dollars of loans to EC .
She just got up said nothing but attack the cpc on the illegal this and that.
we do NOT need a wasteful public enquiry
WASTE WASTE of TAXPAYER money
NDP need to stop wasting Taxpayer money
thank heavens they are not running the Government of Canada
Prime Minister Stephen Harper best Prime Minister Canada has ever EVER had

all parties support the motion

Welcome to Canada George…Avaaz ye swabs!
George is a consumate currency hustler and will likely try a run at the dollar as well.

They are against the pipeline and Joe Oliver

Bob Rae lied when he said The Conservatives received a” court order” from EC to turn over documents.FALSE STATEMENT…. And Canadians are supposed to believe these people?
He also said the Liberal party has no “machinery” to pull off voter supression.
What a bunch of losers…should be a LAW against this public smear campaign aided by the CBC and the media.
The LIBERAL LIST is the Liberal “Machinery”
Let them. It’s working well for the Conservatives and not so much for the opposition and LLLM
Boy the apologies just keep coming when the lefties realize that there can be legal consequences for shooting off their mouths.
I say let them learn the hard way Joanne.
Pat Martin and Charlie Angus need to tell us about NDP dirty tricks !!!!!
Conservative MP Vic Toews has just sent out these two Tweets:
It seems @PaulDewar MB organizer Thomas Linner was sent to collect dirt on my divorce records.
@PatMartinMP told me MB Premier wanted verification of my divorce.
The Winnipeg Free Press has an article on it
Stephen Taylor and BC Blue were quick on the uptake with posts re Dewar’s campaign manager getting access to Vic’s divorce files. Pat Martin supposedly said the Premier of Manitoba wanted to verify he was divorced or something. And lizzie may’s campaign manager issues an apology. Has said premier verified if Pat Martin was divorced and if he really lives in BC.
Will any of this have an effect to keep ndp supporters home instead of voting for Jack’s replacement or the leadership thingy.
The premier of Manitoba Greg Selinger digs up the dirt on Manitoba’s only federal government cabinet minister. I was disappointed that Winnipeg voted in another NDP Premier and now this just makes it worse.
I am sure the Free Press will cover the NDP’s butt like they always do!
Apology? I am getting really tired of the people that make statements that obviously just are not true, provable, or accurate.
It just eggs on the Opposition, Bob Rae makes a statement then starts quoting himself.
It is not just the people involved in the seminar, we are all damaged by this non stop hysteria.
These Greens came in dead last, Liberals next, NDPQ won the Quebec lottery.
At some point they are going to have to put away the anger, grieve and accept their loss and move on.
The opposition prove each and every day how unready they are to run anything other than silly gotcha games.
Heads up: Kris Sims will be discussing Glenn Beck’s warning with Michael Coren on the Arena.
Just sent you an email Joanne. Let me know what you think.
Thanks Paulsstuff! Maybe another ‘apology’ forthcoming?
Just saw more of Roemary Barton’s schtick of the week, that robocall just had her so confused and it was all because the CPC would not admitt it was all their fault. Tonight she effectively called Del Mastro and the PM liars, because what they said was not sufficiently “clear” to her. John Ivison patiently explined to her that EC already had all the investigative powers required, and soon they would be putting the finger of Mr. Poutine. Tom Flannagan agreed and said that EC through a legal search warrant was able to track down Poutine, rather quickly. Barton blurted out that if true, the conservatives might say the case is solved and move on to other business, not getting to the bottom of it, ie. admitting it was them all along.
As a partisan dim witted “journalist” Barton is without peer, I can’t believe CBC doesn’t have smarter commentators avilable.
Well they don’t and it just goes down from that skill level.
CBC Rosemary Barton was handpicked from Winnipeg , what do you expect. we’re the province with a premier that stuck his finger in the eye of Vic Toews.
It’s the annoying giggle that is so disconcerting. To be taken seriously as a journalist, you first have to appear serious.
Barton is not the only one confused, the entire team in that place are confused
and nasty.
All this noise , fury and syndicated bulls**t was about was delegitimizing our duly elected majority.
The Green Campaign manager who reversed and apologized so quickly he must have gotten whiplash.
Note the last line in his letter to the editor where he says” this makes the best case for replacing our system with Proportional representation” that is what they would like to do, the greens, the Liberals, and the NDPQ.
They resent the West mightly.
Whatever strange humpbacked beast eventually shuffles out to Ottawa from Quebec to feed on our tax dollars will be guaranteed seats, with reassigned votes from across Canada.
We have a strong majority as we speak, can you imagine what would be going on NOW right this minute otherwise.
First Past the Post;
Allows us to change our government
Promotes Majority Government whether left or right.
Has a built in radical policy negator
Proportional Representation
Promotes Multiple partys with Radical Policies “Enviro” “Green” Single Issue
It dilutes the vote deliberately
Promotes Coalition Governments
It is the only way radical socialists can get power
See Europe
Germany 1933, Hitler the “National Socialist German Workers Party”
The lying leftys love to call them “Right Wing” they were as their name suggests Socialists.
Anyway Hitler came to power in a Coalition Government.
In Canada the Coalition would have given the power to Duccette.
Joanne, funny thing. About 20 minutes after I sent the complaint to EC that Facebook comment I told you about disappeared. So glad I saved it. New post up on my blog. Hopefully someone at SNN will do some digging into thsi..
Great work!! Link here .
As I drove through some very remote country I sought a radio station for entertainment. The only station available was CBC 1. I haven’t listened to CBC 1 for years but as I drove I wondered if the hostesses were wearing frilly little skirts and waving pom poms their pro-leftist point of views was so in evidence. However I am convinced that in the main leftists hate the ideal that is America and whether they are Canadian leftist, American leftist or any other leftist they universally HATE the idea of free people interacting with free people without hindrance of government.

“And now we are learning from Congressional questioning of Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, that America should not become involved in military action (Syria) without the permission of the United Nations.”
“When one takes a moment to think about Obama’s Healthcare Law that FORCES companies through their insurers to provide female birth control products, it opens a door that questions the LEFT’S mindset to the point of INCREDULITY.”

“Simon McCoy, 50, was caught napping as cameras panned to the presenter ahead of his early broadcast.”
“The blooper came in the same week that Fox News presenter Doug Luzader fell asleep during a broadcast on the Republican presidential candidate ‘super Tuesday’ race in the US.
The hilarious gaffe shows the journalist with his head slumped on his chest as the studio news anchor tries without success to wake him.”

We are better than that.

Perfect ? No, but so far ahead of the opposition they just look like a row of fenceposts on the bald prairie.
At the end of the day neither the NDP or Liberals have an effective party or support base to speak of.
I think that the LPOC should adopt “Pierre Poutine” as their party’s new mascot…might find a use for Bob Rae after all when he doesn’t become that party’s leader. The visuals of Rae in a Pierre Poutine outfit complete with a giant French fry, many shiny buttons, and mask outfitted with the ever popular LPOC tinfoil hat fashioned to look like a cheese curd.
Works for me!
I am still puzzling out that story. Is Pierre Jones the same as Pierre Poutine? I’ll have to read it again.
Apparently Pierre Jones was the name used to get the calls out from the call centre…..then the throw away phone was registered to a Pierre Poutine.
Aha.. Thanks Ontario Girl.
Charlie Angus – A Parliamentary Bottom Feeder
In the article
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/after-closed-door-debate-mps-call-vikileaks-perpetrator-on-carpet/article2364366/
“Mr. Angus told the committee he had not read what was published on Vikileaks and he has no interest in going through the sordid details of Mr. Toews personal life. But, he said, if Mr. Carroll testifies, it will be incumbent upon the committee members to go through the tweets to assess their veracity.”
Anybody with the IQ that matches his shoe size, can see through Charlie Angus, who spends most of his time on slurs, gossip and unfounded accusations, rather than looking after his constituents in Attawapiskat ,who were neglected for years before conditions became a real crisis, is operating true to form once again. For what it is worth, nobody is fooled by this insincere pronouncement, he may say that “he has no interest in going through the tweets” but obviously the remainder of his NDP caucus and NDP Premier Sellinger and a NDP policy analyst Thomas Linner, who is paid by the Manitoba taxpayer, wanted to know all the sordid details and spread them to the public as it was Thomas Linner who was sent to search out the details in the court records. Angus is now giving a backhanded threat to the committee that they will have to “go through the tweets to prove their veracity” – who is questioning the veracity – no one. In my opinion and I suggest most Canadians Charlie Angus machinations are fooling no one, and I am glad Gloria, that you exposed this politician for the bottom feeder he is, and he is naive and simple enough to not realize there are dozens of NDP politicians,who have also gone through divorce proceedings, and this is a game that any political party can play, if they want to carry political debate to a barnyard level.
Hear, hear Peter!
O/T – for those who say that the media never criticizes McGuinty you can fill your boots with it today. Then there’s this…which living in a place that elected a Conservative MPP, while my town rebuilds amid the McGuinty decision to close another major employer, I read this and quite frankly am ready to give up…..why bother.
Oh, and our Conservative MPP’s PMB died yesterday. A majority of NDP and Liberal MPPs never even showed up for the vote.
http://www.lfpress.com/news/london/2012/03/08/19478721.html
You can’t really blame them for closing the Bluewater Centre at Goderich when there were 200 employees for 17 youth residents. How many more places are being run that this. We maybe need to close a lot more yet. This likely should be closed years ago….what a waste of government money.
maybe so Ruth.
It’s still 200 out of work, out of local economy.
Oh, and I’ve been through the history of Bluewater and WHY it’s ended up that only 17 inmates were there. It’s because this government has been quietly shifting elsewhere thanks in large part to a VERY left-leaning judicial system and a gov’t that likes it that way. There’s WAY more to this than it being a waste of money. We could make this same case for our schools if that were the case. Why so many school board administrators when enrollment is in a free fall? But, we’re closing small schools to and shipping those students to “bigger” schools…just like they’ve been shipping the inmates.
Interestingly, those 17 inmates were relocated to a facility in Tim Hudak’s riding.
There’s a chance that with Harper’s crime bill going through that the facility might end up being an adult jail.
Then there’s the rumour that it’s going to be a place to manufacture wind turbines. Rumours are just that, but rumours around here have a weird way of materializing into reality.
Right, as the PMB on Dec 1 was defeated and the next one by Tim Hudak on wind turbines also will be. PMBs are futile except as a form of protest against a cornerstone of Liberal policy, renewable subsidized energy. The problem being that NDP is even more fervent towards wind subsidy farms then are the Liberals, and has no roots or support in rural Ont.
That being said, McGuinty certainly has it in for Huron Co. He sees it not as a viable agricultural centre, or tourist destination, or home of light industry, but as a purveyor of industrialized wind generation. Sad, but untill some other scandal, or issue comes along which NDP/PC can agree on, this destructive Liberal policy is set to continue.
I just got an email letting me know that this blog along with several other Blogging Tories were mentioned at the Manning Networking Conference early this afternoon. How about that?
You deserve to be mentioned Joanne. You do a great job and take credit where credit is due. Congrats!
ditto from me Joanne. You’re consistent and a source of information for those like me who REFUSE to give any of my time to the LLLM (left-leaning-lemming-media) or pay attention beyond this place to anything the opposition have to say.
I get a kick out of Kinsella’s blog of late….just watching him spin.
Thanks Fay & Richco. BC Blue also got mentioned. We have a good team.
Jo you deserve the recognition for all your hard work
we all appreciate the time you have to spend sorting through
the trash. I remember some of the posts from days gone by
and I appreciate not having to read those posts

What a crock of crap from Chantel Hubert from CBC earning her $250+ an appearance:
Bob Rae’s strong performance as interim Liberal leader and a serious slide in NDP support in Quebec have helped shatter any illusion that the NDP’s hold on official Opposition is anything but tenuous.
The fact that Stephen Harper and not some progressive-friendly Liberal prime minister is in power has focused more minds on the urgency of achieving regime-change.
For many New Democrats, fear for the soul of the NDP is taking second place to fear for the soul of Canada under an open-ended Conservative reign.
Biased….check
CBC?
Neither Bob Rae or the NDP can muster a serious contention as an opposition…not up against Harper and the CPC. Not even close.
That “soul” died with Jack Layton. All that proves is that the NDP was a one-man show and little else.

Of Our CBC’s $1B fruit fly.
Fruit fly: ““There are many credible sources of information, and they aren’t blog sites run by weathermen like Anthony Watts,”.
…-
“Apparently, I’ve irritated the fruit fly”
“David “fruit fly” Suzuki goes ballistic, and advocates retracting all rights from skeptics. I’m mentioned as some sort of baddie central, but at least I don’t dress up with Santa Claus to scare the kids and ask their parents to send me money. Where’s that DDT when you need it?
Deny Deniers their Right to Deny!”

Thanks Fh. I just read that article and my opinion is that the alleged Liberal robocall is pretty low. If that is what the Conservatives were responding to with the next round of calls to clarify Burke’s stand on abortion, I think they had every right to do so.
I suspect this is actually not what EC is investigating though. Slimy politics but nothing illegal here as far as I can see from the article – unless I missed something.
Liberals and NDP always want full disclosure and answers -don’t they -well maybe.
OTTAWA – The Liberal who carried out a Twitter attack against Public Safety Minister Vic Toews will be asked to identify other Grits involved in the cyber rants.
But it won’t happen Tuesday as scheduled because Adam Carroll’s lawyer informed the ethics committee Friday he is too ill to attend.

A big thank you to John Ivison for his thorough reporting on the most up to date news about the Guelph election

John Ivison is disturbed by the fact the caller did not identify which party she was calling on behalf this is apparently against the election Canada rules ie it is illegal
no one is coming out smelling like a rose
makes me feel better

Another recent report here from Guelph. I think this puts the story to rest regarding Andrew Prescott.
Some media types should take a step back and reflect on this. Not naming names of course.
Kady O’Malley was more talkative than usual today on the Power & Politics “Power Panel”, so much so that Greg Weston gave her a sidelong glance a couple of times, as if to say “when are you going to stop chattering?” Nothing much of substance said, but fun watching the body language.
I noticed Kady was saying a few things that might go in the Government’s favour regarding Robocalls, and I thought to myself ‘Does she know that she’s defending the Conservatives?’ So maybe that’s what Weston was reacting to.
Liberals have advised that they are responsible for the Robo calls in Guelph made to Conservative voters and it was an oversite that they did not claim responsibility
it is illegal ILLEGAL and I expect Elections Canada to punish the LIBERAL party appropriately
if the suppression calls come from the LIBERALS will they claim oversite once again
seniors vote conservative
fh
So. Could the Conservatives have won Guelph if it hadn’t been for Liberal voter suppression tactics? I guess we’ll never know.
“I noticed Kady was saying a few things that might go in the Government’s favour regarding Robocalls, and I thought to myself ‘Does she know that she’s defending the Conservatives?’ So maybe that’s what Weston was reacting to.”
It appears there are leaks from the EC investigation almost daily, despite the fact EC says it doesn’t reveal details about ongoing investigations, which leads me to believe certain media members have someone supplying them with the information.
Wouldn’t be at all surprised if the investigation is actually pointing to another party and Kady is doing a pre-emptive attempt to tone down the anti-conservative blather before all the details are made public. the entire Pierre Poutine thing sounds like some U of G preppy who thought he was jsut a bit too smart.
p.s. Note to Gabby. I received your email, and will be doing a post about it on the weekend. I also had some concern about the one comment you pointed out but think overall it reflects better on the Conservatives than the opponent. Appreciate your always insightful posts and information.

CBC has done some more “digging” tonight on The National. The whole article was reported to make Julian Fantino look crooked. They say 3 CONSERVATIVES and they really empasized the word ..want Elections Canada to look into Fantino’s election .The report said he had a campaign surplus and it’s in a second bank acct. Then they said Fantino said there is no second elections bank acct…this was followed up by the CBC saying they wern’t saying an “elections” bank acct, BUT a bank acct. Then they moved on to say 9 Conservative candidates got money from Fantino. The three women were sitting around the kitchen table looking at bills, receipts?? Then they said a Cons said they are x-conservatives and they left acramonious(spelling?) The report ended by saying..”of course we won’t find out about this untill the expenses are filed”. WTF….
So the story was reported…showed Fantino on the campaign trail and with Dean del Mastro and they made it look sooooo corrupt…even showed a bunch of Conservative signs.
A big deal was made of this. drip…drip….drip. This is a smear campaign. Planned and organized by some group.
An attempt to divide and conquer; trying to pit one conservative against another — a favourite of the Media Party and template No. 4.
What do you know…CBC has the story up on National Newswatch already….link

Talk about overkill…good conversation for the weekend and through March Break I guess…now this story at The red Star says a reporter “overheard” an election Canada offical on the phone(cough wink wink) while an investigation was going on about election expenses….and EC says the bulk of the calls were targeted towards OLDER voters born between 1948 – 1949 or whatever. This is getting stupid and the comments are hateful……drip…drip…drip from EC?
http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1143808–robocalls-older-voters-targeted-by-phony-voting-day-phone-calls-elections-canada-believes?bn=1
“Every single person I’ve contacted has been (born) between 1947 and 1949,” said one unidentified Elections Canada employee who was following up on the complaints Friday morning.
The Star inadvertently overheard a number of telephone conversations between the woman and complainants located across the country while a reporter was reviewing election expense records at Elections Canada’s Ottawa offices.
That is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard. Good to know EC is so careful about privacy and discretion. *Cough, cough*
Elections Canada continues lose credibility unless Toronto star is misquoting the situation. Until we see Elections Canada defend itself, Canadians will continue to think the worst.
The Fantino story is regurgitated news, much like the in-and-out.
New post is up Joanne, with a big thank you to Gabby for the info she sent me.
http://paulsrants-paulsstuff.blogspot.com/2012/03/green-party-of-canada-election-tactics.html
Great work Paulsstuff and Gabby!
Just like I thought, Fantino story regurgitated: ”
Lorello filed an affidavit with Elections Canada in May 2011 and Liddy and Kent filed affidavits in June 2011.
And if I remember correctly, the reason they resigned was they wanted someone else to be the candidate in that riding. The story about the accounts came after the fact.
well, well, well…Lieberal party made robocalls in Guelph and Frank Valeriote calls it an “Oversight”( choke)Calls didn’t identify the party which is illegal under the elections act.
John Ivison breaks the story ….The national Post
Wonder if Frankie V will have some words to eat ? He sure enjoyed standing in the HOC robosmearing.
Maybe it’s time to go bag some crows, there may be a long line-up for a chow down.
Un real. The Fantino story is running every 15 minutes this morning …on Guelph, they are quoting from the Globe and mail about Randy Burke cancelling a meeting with the paper or EC? Liberal Frank Valeriote reported in The national Post story…not a mention. Nothing …nada…
This is a proof Liberals did robocalling and didn’t identify the party which is illegal and it’s is being suppressed by the CBC .
I sent the story to Sun News TV.
You know something OG, does Franky V. know that we all know already and that no amount of hiding behind the curtails iron drawers of CBC CTV etv will suppress the public from knowing. This is high tech and NOT the `70s or 80s anymore.
On “The House” Evan Soloman is attacking the Conservative Lisa Raitte on the Air Canada story…stopping “UNIONS” (gasp)and the govt is using a “HEAVY HAND.”
Heavy hand like CBC’s robo reporting against the Govt only.Double standards.
Sickening.
I’m sorry but I’m having trouble understanding why anyone would willingly subject themselves to Evan Solomon fomentations on a beautiful Saturday morning. I’d rather have a root canal.
