Sorry America.

Pelosi got you, and Obama is leading you down a path that we Canadians have been on since we were stupid enough to elect Trudeau. It\'s all about the government taking over your life, and it is not pretty. Socialism is a sickness, it invades your society, and it is just about impossible to reverse. Some people get it: Listen to this speech, Boehner gets it right , but too bad it was all for nothing. (For some reason embedding doesn\'t work at Fox, if anyone can help me with that it would be appreciated). I can only hope that in November you will make them pay. If you don\'t you will have to live with it. I cry with you! .. read more..
La Resistance Bloc
Sunday, March 21, 2010
Duceppe, that happy little seperatist, is referring to the Bloc as a \"resistance\" movement: \"Quebec has no future in Canada…the only worthy future for Québec is full and complete political liberty. And that’s called sovereignty.\" So.... Liberty means to have political party in power that believes in more government? More government and more centralization in Quebec? I can just imagine Mel Gibson\'s next movie on the \"Quebec Braveheart\" screaming out \"MORRREEEEE GOVERRRNMMMMENTTTT!!!!!.....\" What that isn\'t jazzy enough for you? .. read more..
Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal?... Not me!
Sunday, March 21, 2010
Apparently the Former National Director of the Fiberal Party of Canada and now Mayoralty candidate for \"Hogtown\" Toronto doesn\'t see himself as Left or Right. He\'s \"Fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal.\" He\'s apparently a member of the Ignatieff fuzzy brigade of modern day mature statists that now understand the merits of fiscal prudence... When it\'s practical of course . I thought I would experience more help from fellow blogging Tories, but to my dismay Hugh MacIntyre thinks Rocco is spot on . This is definitely not the post I would expect Hugh to make. Based on most of the rest of what Hugh writes I agree with completely on almost everything. Here\'s the problem with Rocco\'s statement. Being fiscally conservative is great, but it\'s the socially liberal part that has problems. It\'s one thing if what Rocco is referring to is a general.. .. read more..
To My American Friends, Kill The Bill!
Sunday, March 21, 2010
You are in for a world of pain if this health care bill passes. My family knows this from experience. The last time I saw a doctor was when my 14 year old son was born, the only reason I was lucky enough to get a doctor was because I was in a high risk category. My family doctor retired, and no-one took his place, so I have been without a family doctor for over 16 years. My kids doctor retired, and no-one took his place, so my children have been without a doctor for 6 years. This is government health care, which you are about to get. You do not want it, ever. Yes, everyone in Canada is covered, but that means that no-one really gets good care. It\'s not our doctors and nurses fault, it is the socialist philosophy that is at fault. We have medi-centers, we have long, long wait lists for hip replacements (years), and every other procedure you might need, but it\'s all \"free\". Excuse me, it\'s.. .. read more..
Lefties Blowing A Gasket! Too Funny!
Saturday, March 20, 2010
It seems that the tolerant, progressive left are not so tolerant when it comes to Conservatives. Who knew? Ann Coulter visit sets off furor Local activist and one-time NDP candidate Megan Walker says of Coulter, \"She\'s venomous . . . She crosses the line and promotes hatred and violence.\" Walker\'s comments provoked a response from a woman instrumental in bringing Coulter to London, Mary Lou Ambrogio, whose group, the International Free Press Society, is paying $10,000 for the appearance, the balance of Coulter\'s fee coming from an American group that promotes conservatism in young women, the Claire Boothe Luce Policy Institute. Coulter couldn\'t be reached by phone. In a brief e-mail, Coulter offered to comment, but hadn\'t done so by Friday. Ambrogio said Coulter was chosen to test the tolerance of Londoners for free speech, a test she says Walker has flunked. \"She pays lip service to fre.. .. read more..
UofG\'s CSA takes CFS to court
Saturday, March 20, 2010
It\'s FANTASTIC to see a student government who refuse to be bullied by the thugs who run the CFS . Despite all the underhanded tactics that the CFS has tried to pull to quash a democratic vote , the University of Guelph\'s CSA has refused to back down, and has gone to court in order to ensure that their students have the right to vote on whether or not they remain a part of the CFS. You might recall that I reported the other week that this referendum on the CFS at UofG is supported by the campus clubs of ALL MAJOR PARTIES . Once again, it\'s GREAT to see students working together for a common and worthwhile goal. The CFS is in serious trouble... and they know it. There\'s a serious movement going on at Carleton, in the anti-CFS \"We Want Out\" campaign. They\'ve also done a fantastic job of compiling a list of over 100 CFS related articles they could find , documenting all the antics of the CF.. .. read more..
Friday Night Funnies: Little Darling!
Saturday, March 20, 2010
*Rules for Bullshit Bingo* 1. Before Barrack Obama\'s next televised speech, prepare your \"Bullshit Bingo\" card by drawing a square (I find that 5\" x 5\" is a good size -- and dividing it into columns --five across and five down. That will give you 25 1-inch blocks.) 2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block: * Restored our reputation * Strategic fit * Let me be clear * Make no mistake * Back from the brink * Signs of recovery * Out of the loop * Benchmark * Job creation * Fiscal restraint * Win-win * Affordable health care * Previous Administration * Greed on Wall Street * At the end of the day * Empower (or empowerment) * Touch base * Mindset * Corporate greed * Ballpark * Game plan * Leverage * Inherited as in \"I inherited this mess\" * Relief for working families 3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases. 4. When you get five blocks hor.. .. read more..
Six Ways to Cut the Fat
Friday, March 19, 2010
In their January Budget, Prime Minister Stephen Harper\'s Conservative government laid out its fiscal plan for dealing with the national economy\'s continued slow recovery. While the Harper Tories should be lauded for continuing to lead the G20 towards the light at the end of the tunnel by moving into year two of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty\'s Economic Action Plan , there are some troubling issues with their methods. The entire concept of using the \'dig your way out of a hole\' concept to battle the global economic meltdown - Western governments agreeing, conservatives and liberals alike, to spend our way out of debt - feels like a situation where short term gain will be paid with a huge, perhaps insurmountable period of long term pain. As a raving fiscal conservative, I abhor any government that creates huge debt and deficits, particularly one that sells itself as rightwing. However, the .. .. read more..
