The Ottawa Citizen has been running a smear campaign aimed at the federal Conservatives called “Wish You Were Here“. This campaign is to highlight the federal prorogation and keep it in the eye of the public even though nobody else is talking about it anymore. Every day, it lists a number of area MPs and gives us their schedules to see what they are up to because they aren’t working on the hill.

However, today’s edition went horribly wrong: it seems the cons are working hard with many meetings and visits, the libs are either taking the day off or not saying where they are, the bloc did not respond, and the one NDPer is working:

John Baird (Cons.) Ottawa West-Nepean:

The same professional “protesters” who keep crashing the G8 and G20 summits everywhere. Organized, and bused in, carrying weapons and wearing ski masks, these are no ordinary protesters. These are anarchists. Most of the time, these idiots don’t even know what they are protesting. All they look for is clashing with local police to get them on the evening news crying about police brutality.

Go home and get a life, you bums.

From Greg Weston’s column in Sun Media papers today:

Less than an hour after a massive earthquake turned Haiti into an unimaginable hell of death and devastation, Prime Minister Stephen Harper issued an extraordinary call to action, remarkably putting the first Canadian rescue team on the stricken island by the next afternoon.

By all accounts, the launch of Operation Hestia (goddess of the hearth) was vintage Harper: No nonsense; no excuses.

It all started Tuesday evening, minutes after word of the Haitian catastrophe reached Harper’s office.

The PM was briefed aboard his jet as he arrived in Ottawa from a day-trip to Quebec, and immediately issued two clear orders from the plane.

First, the forever hands-on Harper demanded he be kept at the centre of read more

Ms. May, perhaps in search of a seat somewhere in Denmark where she may be elected (since she can’t get elected anywhere in this country), popped up, once again, on the radar at an ‘environmental’ conference at Hopenhagen, the world’s Schmooze-fest on Global Warming (even though there is no warming).

Unfortunately, I have already called her every name in the book in my many post before this one, so I have none to give you. I apologise.

Granted she hasn’t mentioned her book just jet, but has already told Canada to ’shut up’ and has been seen rubbing shoulders with such great human beings as Al Gore. Wonder if he showed her his Oscar… Oh Al, are you happy to see me, read more

Shoes are torture
When they’re too small
Or when they’re too tall

Shoes are torture
When they’re wet
Or when they’re full of sweat

Shoes are torture
When they’re holey
Or full of guacamole

But seriously people, shoes are not weapons of torture. One Taliban was hit with a shoe (and not even by us!), and the entire county screams of torture and our troops are war criminals and we broke international Geneva conventions.

Grow up. We’re at war. I challenge you to try to torture someone with a shoe. Stop trying to score political points on the back of our troops. Maybe Iggy, Jack and Gill can take a trip to Afghanistan and talk our way out of this war with a bouquet of roses and read more

Turns out, the “controversial” body bags that were sent to a Manitoba reserve, and created so much uproar in the media and opposition parties last month, were ORDERED by a NURSE on the reserve!

I’m waiting for them. Yessir. Let them apologies fly. Global TV, CTV, Ottawa Citizen, Iffy Ignatieff, Jackie Layton. I’m waiting….

But I’m not holding my breath.

Biggest story yesterday was, without a doubt, the eHealth auditor’s report on a $1B WASTE of OUR MONEY. That was, in fact, the biggest news story this week. On Wednesday morning, the Ottawa Citizen (a CanWest newspaper) reported on David Caplan’s weasley resignation over eHealth on PAGE 4 in a sub-sub column type story, buried far away from the front page. I thought: OK, it’s a CanWest paper. They don’t like to talk dirty about ANY liberal.  Strike one.

So then came on Global TV News (CanWest again) with Kevin Newman, live from Toronto, on Thursday evening. Lead story? How the CONSERVATIVES are NOT ACCOUNTABLE for the stimulus program with their ‘vague’ Action Plan website with only ballpark numbers, and how in the States read more

It appears Iggy is getting frustrated with all the good news coming out of Canada these days: Canada’s Action Plan is working, and commercials and websites point out this fact. He is complaining that the Action Plan commercials and website are too… conservative. What, with pictures of the Prime Minister and his Cabinet of all things. Imagine that. He is complaining the commercial and website talk about “The Harper Government” and “Conservative Government” and should say “Canada’s Government”.

Hmm… I seem to recall a certain “conservative deficit” and “conservative budget” being mentioned, oh, say, last fall and Christmas (remember the Coalition of the Idiots?)… Just as this Liberal press release has numerous references to “Conservative Budget” and “Harper Government” and even read more

So they sent some body bags up to Northern Manitoba. Body bags that were a part of a “flu kit” of some sort, that included (besides the body bags) face masks, gloves, hand lotion, etc. First Nations had been screaming for hand lotion for months now, they finally got it, but all they mentioned on the news were the body bags. Body bags this, body bags that. Insulting. Whatever.

Look. The H1N1 flu is deadly. Numerous people have died over the past 6 months, including first nations. It is very prudent to send up medicine, barrier clothing and, indeed, body bags, should the person die of H1N1. The body bag is there to protect the rest of the population. It is not insulting, read more

Thursday, April 23, 2009. Question period. The Liberals spent the first half hammering away at the government to get our own homegrown Omar the Terrorist back home. He’s a Canadian citizen, you see. A nice, Canadian citizen (and, uhm, an  accused terrorist with a looney-tunes terrorist family). Following this onslaught, the Liberals used the second half of question period attacking the government on failing to point out to the Americans that Canada is NOT the source of terrorists coming into the US.

Do you have to be a Liberal to see the logic in that? Because I sure don’t.
