Has Quebec Announced A Referendum On Sovereignty??? - The Liberal Party Of Canada Seems To Think So

Even the old Liberal guard dog has now infused himself into a debate that has NO basis in reality. Quebec has not called a Referendum. No Referendum is on the horizon ... and yet... the MSM, Liberal bloggers and now even Chretien himself have tried to whip the nation into a fearful frenzy over national unity.They might as well speculate on Alien contact with planet Earth (as a former Liberal Minister of Defence did). Liberals are absolutely desperate to find something to attack New Democrats on and they seem to think that this is a winner for them.-Chretien is Distressed!Well known Quebec blogger, Anthony Di Domizio has published a post on Factchecker that needs to be read by anyone experiencing palpitations or other fear triggered physical...

Ralph Goodale shocked that he must give up his prime office space in the Centre Block!

What Angers Some Liberals The Most Is the Loss Of Entitlement. How dare the 103 New Democrat MP's think they are in any way, superior to 34 Liberal MP's. Jane Taber and the Globe and Mail agree!"So much for doing politics differently. The new, muscular NDP is throwing its weight around at the expense of the Liberals."Excuse me Jane, curbing Liberal entitlement IS doing politics different...

Will The Federal Liberal Caucus Work To Save The Canadian Wheat Board?

Big City Lib predicts that the current parliamentary formula of (Conservative Gov't + NDP Official Opposition = BOOM!!!). Since it is the stated intent of the Harper admin to end the Canadian Wheat Board's mandate by legislation, expect a very big 'BOOM'.To date, the Liberal Party of Canada and its Federal Caucus has protected and defended the Canadian Wheat Board. Where I am unclear is what Liberal House policy will be in the new Parliament. -Canadian Centre For Policy Alternatives: "Harper’s Renewed Attack on the Canadian Wheat Boa...

It Comes As NO Surprise To Me That Lib Blogger Jeff Jedras Is Being Embraced And Lauded By The Extreme Right Wing In Canada!

From Smalldeadanimals:"It would be interesting for a pollster to find out if there's a growing concern amongst non-Quebecois Canadians about what plans Monsieur Jack Layton has for Quebec over the next four years. In this comprehensive column, Jeff Jedras carefully outlines a number of data points that justify much concern. Here's a snippet:What they can’t do, however, is try to have it both ways. They can’t tell Quebecers one thing and Canadians another. They can’t say Sherbrooke is their policy but claim support for the Supreme Court opinion and the Clarity Act, because the two aren’t compatible. They need to pick a position, own it and stand by it in all of Canada.Layton is like a 12 year-old boy playing with firecrackers, except that he's...

If I Publish A Blog Post Denying That Climate Change Is Happening AND Praising The Tar Sands As A True Paradise ... how much will my cheque be???

"OTTAWA — The federal government has explored hiring a professional public relations firm and organizing trips for international leaders to promote Canada's oilsands industry, while fighting back against foreign climate change policies requiring it to reduce its pollution, a newly released federal document has revealed.The action plan, prepared by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, also suggested hosting an "annual retreat" of its oilsands advocacy team in London to plan a strategy to help boost the image of the industry that has developed an international reputation, as a result of campaigns launched by environmental groups, for producing "dirty oil.""Consideration should be given to hiring a professional PR firm to...

Two Weeks After Election Day New Dems Support UP - Cons, Libs, Bloc ALL DOWN

Two weeks after Canada's Election, the New Democrats are experiencing an increase in support with the Conservatives, Liberals and Bloc all slipping. Even the daily, relentless campaign by the MSM to attack NDP MP, Ruth Ellen Brosseau seems to have backfired."Over the last two weeks (a total sample of 2,000, all data gathered before the Liberals chose Bob Rae as interim leader) here is what we see:» The Conservative Party is polling at 38 per cent, down slightly from 39.6 per cent on Election Day.» The NDP finds 33 per cent support, compared to 30.6 per cent on Election Day.» The Liberal Party is at 15 per cent, down from an 18.9 per cent result.» The Bloc is at 22 per cent in Quebec; 23.4 per cent was their total on May 2."The Globe & ...

Ontario Conservative Candidate Posts Pic Of His Genitals On Twitter

Rookie PC candidate George Lepp says he’s embarrassed that a photo of his family jewels was posted on his campaign Twitter account for about 20 minutes before it was quickly unzipped.Alan Sakach, communications director for the Ontario Conservatives, said the photo was inadvertently taken by Lepp’s BlackBerry when it was in his front pocket. (Ed Note: HUH? Was his dick in his pocket as well? This explanation is completely ludicrous) The photo was posted after someone took it from the candidate for the riding of Niagara Falls, according to Sakach.“He is pretty upset and embarrassed,” Sakach said of a photo that was posted on Lepp’s account Sunday. “It was removed as soon as it came to his attention.”The Toronto Sun obtained grainy copies of the Twitter page images before they were removed....

Fact Check: NDP position on Quebec referendum

Quebec blogger, Anthony Di Domizio has published a post on Factchecker that needs to be read by Progressive Bloggers, both New Dems AND Libs:"Jack Layton is under fire for balking when asked about the NDP’s position toward the Clarity Act. Layton quivered when asked about his party’s position to endorse 50% + 1 a valid majority for a secession referendum. When asked by reporters during the election, Layton referred to the 2005 Sherbrooke Declaration. Here is what it says:“The New Democratic Party aims to form the government of Canada.”(This is probably where everybody stopped reading)“The NDP recognizes Quebec’s right to self-determination, which implies the right of the people of Quebec to decide freely its own political and constitutional future…Therefore the NDP is committed to respect,...

Liberals Did This To Themselves ....

Remember the wars that raged between the Paul Martin and Jean Chretien camps a few years back? After the defeat of the Martin government, Liberals ripped each others eyes out in the leadership race that saw Dion elected Leader. Oops! Bad choice .. okay .. start the leadership process up again and ... voila .. new leader, Michael Ignatieff. The rest is history. The Liberal party of Canada is in the dumper. But whose fault is it that Liberals are near death as a political party in Canada? Well according to some Liberals it is not their fault ...."The NDP has taken great joy in dividing the Liberal Party at every opportunity during the minority years. Now, the Liberals have a golden opportunity to return the favour if they can bring what's left...
