New Year, New Hope!

While we raise our glasses to the New Year, may we also remember those not as privileged as we are. Let's make 2008 a better year for all people.

For hopeful Iraqis, New Year's parties at last

BAGHDAD, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Iraqis were out all day on New Year's Eve buying cakes, balloons, party decorations and new clothes to celebrate the holiday in the hope of a more peaceful 2008.

Many Baghdad residents said they planned to celebrate New Year's Eve properly for the first time in years as violence subsides in the capital after years of sectarian war.

And what are the troops up to?

Afghan marathon to mark New Year

The 16 officers from 52 Brigade, based at Edinburgh Castle, hope to raise £5,000 for the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association (Blesma).

The male and female runners, all from the 52 Brigade Infantry HQ in Lashkar Gah, are doing three one-hour shifts and will complete about 26 miles each.

So, bless the troops, who are helping people all over the world.

May 2008 bring peace and safety to all people. May Kyoto die by drowning in 20 foot waves caused by Gore, and may Canada continue to be represented by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.



Tall wishes, but hey, maybe God is listening. Happy New Year Everyone!

Offset Your Cheating, Buy Cheat Credits!

Okay, this is too funny! You can offset your cheating. Great spoof on carbon credits.

What is Cheat Offsetting?
When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere.

Cheatneutral offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralises the pain and unhappy emotion and leaves you with a clear conscience.

Thanks to the Sun Media for the link!

A carbon cash grab

Lorrie Goldstein's "BS alert! BS alert!" part two (Dec. 27), and part one (Dec. 13) is must reading. We are only fooling ourselves if we think that buying carbon credits is anything other than a cash-grab by socialists. The hypocrisy of Kyoto is evident -- i.e., some polluters are more guilty than others.

(Check out "cheatneutral.com" where you can cheat on your spouse and then pay a small fee to people who don't cheat on their spouses to render you "cheating neutral." It's one of the funniest satires of the whole ridiculous idea of buying so-called "carbon credits" to make yourself "carbon neutral" that we've seen)

A Trip Into A Liberal Mind

Mulroney is the worse crook ever. When asked about 40 million in taxpayer’s dollars stolen by the Liberals, that doesn’t matter, it’s Mulroney that’s the crook. Hate Conservative’s, hold them to higher standards than Liberals. Liberals truly don’t think they did anything wrong in stealing money from taxpayers, they see it as good management. Seriously, the peons can’t manage their own money, so the Liberal government needed to step in. It wasn’t stealing, no one got convicted right? They didn’t do anything wrong.

Believe everything that the CBC tells you.

Abortion. Why hasn’t Harper done anything to stop it. When asked why Chretien and Martin, both Catholics did nothing, even with majorities, the response is that they are not in power now! Excuse Liberals endlessly, accuse Conservatives for everything.

Believe everything the CBC tells you.

Income trusts, we were robbed! When told that income trusts are doing as good as ever. Well maybe, but…blame the Conservatives anyways.

Believe everything the CBC tells you.

Infrastructure, this is now a BIG issue that the Conservatives are supposedly doing nothing about. It’s the Conservatives fault that cities are crumbling down around us. Watch for infrastructure to make a big appearance on the political landscape. Out of all the Liberal talking points, this is going to be a big one, why, the Liberals only appeal to big city immigrants who are used to corruption in their former countries, so they see it as no big deal if Liberals are dirty.

Hold your base at all costs, even if the base is as corrupt as your party is, it makes sense in a scary way. Criminals love the Liberals, as we saw in the last election, what does that say about the Liberal party, and their active support of terrorist organizations? Coderre marching in a parade with Hezbollah supporters anyone?

Believe everything the CBC tells you.

Where did I get all these Liberal gems? Not from any paper I can quote from, I simply went home for Christmas and listened to what my parents were saying. It doesn’t get more grassroots than that. Dion, they can’t stand him. Will they still vote Liberal? You bet. Why? Liberals are the only ones who can lead Canada. The Conservatives winning was just a fluke, things will be right again when they are booted out next election. 40 million in brown paper bags to Liberal’s? Not a problem. That’s your trip into a Liberal mind. Oh, did I mention:

Believe everything the CBC tells you?

Liberal talking points, don’t you dare dispute anything they say, only Liberals know what is good for all of us, you have been told.

I often wonder how I grew up to become a Conservative. My Liberal parents, the Liberal university I went to, none of them could convince me that Liberals are better, or even right. Guess I’m an independent thinker, not a follower.
Liberals need groups to make themselves feel good, Conservatives need no one to know they are right.

One amazing point my parents agreed with me on, Human Rights Tribunals, even they agree that they have overstepped their powers, and need to be disbanded.
For once, they didn’t listen to the CBC.

God Deeds This Christmas!

Well, we made it home, thanks be to God, and our 4x4 truck! Travelling through the Rockies is always an experience, but this year, it was worse than ever! Never seen so many cars in the ditches, never been first on scene to two mishaps before either.

Travelling from Edmonton to Kelowna was great until we hit the BC border, things went downhill from Valemont to Kelowna. Here's a picture of what the roads were like:

That's black ice.

We rounded a corner and came across a guy in the snowbank. My husband and I got out of our big 4x4 truck (Ford Lariat), fully dressed in Inut coats and waterproof boots and mitts, hooked up our rope, pulled the guy out, and went on our way. We stopped a little ways up to fix the luggage, and the guy we pulled out of the ditch stopped to thank us again. He was in running shoes, and a light jean jacket, only thing that saved him from being a total idiot is that he had 4 kittens with him. As we drove away, my husband starts laughing, I ask him why, he told me "Us rednecks just pulled a Lexus driving yuppie out of the snowbank". We of course had to tell this story to my sister, who used to drive a Lexus.

Coming home, between Vernon and Kamloops, all I see is this car swerving towards us, then the car hits the rock embankment and we slow to help. Meanwhile my husband is yelling that another car went over the opposite embankment, into the water, my worse nightmare!

I'm first to peer down the 20 foot embankment, and sure enough, there is a truck taking on water. The Dad has his daughter out the window, he yells that they are all okay, as his son passes him a black lab, and then jumps to safety. All we could do was to help them up the embankment, and watch as the truck slowly sank with all their belongings. The poor teenage son was in tears, all he managed to say was, "It's supposed to be Christmas". I felt so sorry for them, you could tell by what they were driving and wearing that they didn't have much to begin with, and now even that was lost.

My boys were very quiet as we drove away. Finally my youngest piped up and said, "Mom, that's twice we did good deeds this trip". It just wasn't us, I was amazed by the number of people who jumped out of their cars, ready to help. That is the true Christmas spirit, not the gifts, not even the going to Church, it's the human spirit, the willingness to help those in need. No one asked that Dad, saving his children, and his dog, whether he was a Liberal, or NDP, or Conservative, it just didn't matter.

So, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas, after I quit shaking, I thanked God. Funny how the sun broke through, just as we approached the Alberta border. It truly is God's Country!

And I'm happy to be back here, with my family safe and sound. The most dangerous thing I'm going to do for awhile is blog!

Merry Christmas!

May you enjoy all the warmth and love that the Christmas season brings.
I'll be back when I'm full of turkey, and all the gifts have been given.

Merry Christmas!

What Happens To Proxy Pablo?

I think we can all agree that Pablo got his questions from a CBC reporter. Angry in the Great White North, has a great post on that issue.

As I was getting ready for Christmas today, I was thinking about what happens to Pablo Rodriguez?

It should be up to the Liberals, but they seem to be doing nothing. From the comments of most Liberals, they don't think it's any big deal. So, the Liberals will hide this one, and hope it goes away over Christmas.

How about get him in front of the ethic's committee? Humm, that won't work, he was using the ethic committee to become a CBC proxy.

Okay, then, what can the Conservative party do? Not much more than what they have already done. Keep it going as an issue, and get the right people to look into the matter.

It appears it's up to the Government of Canada, what can the government do about Pablo? Seriously, the federal government is the only one that can act, so what are the options? I'm only a blogger, so I don't know, but it will be interesting to see what, if anything is done.

Bias? CTV Is Just As Bad As CBC.

Okay, I've been picking on CBC for their collusion with the Liberal Party, and particularily Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez, but often CTV is just as bad, the only difference is that they don't receive Billions of taxpayers money from us.

Here is a snapshot of the TOP stories CTV has on their CTV.ca site.

Tory support plunges in wake of controversies: poll Well, we all understand why they would want that one poll to stay around for days. I hope it makes Dion brave so he will call an election!

Tories dismiss criticism over isotope crisis This is an updated story, prime example of keeping an issue alive.

N.S. politician convicted, booted from caucus Guess this one has been up there for days because this was a PC member.

Feds tried to order nuclear regulator to bend rules
Well, bend the rules?? Bit of a stretch.

The Conservative government issued a cabinet order last week to federal nuclear regulators in an apparent effort to pressure them into letting medical isotope production resume at the Chalk River nuclear reactor.

But the directive, dated Dec. 10, failed to resolve a dispute between Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., which operates the reactor, and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission which sets licensing, health and safety rules.

So, they failed to resolve a dispute....and that's bending the rules? I think it's CTV bending a headline, and keeping it updated every few days.

Most don't want inquiry into Schreiber affair: poll
Well, anything with the Schreiber name, has to get maximum exposure now doesn't it? Again they update a nothing story to keep it on the front page.

That's just one day of negative headlines by CTV. Anything positive disappears before the day is out, anything negative gets "updated" every few days to make it look like a "new" story.

I Have To Do This....NORAD Tracks Santa!

I can't help myself. For years when my boys were small, we would go to this site, to show them how close Santa was getting. It is a shameless way to get the little ones tucked into bed on Christmas Eve early, so that you can finally put together those toys, don't forget batteries!!

They do an excellent job tracking Santa, all over the world. Just like Canada Post handles all those letters to Santa.

This is taken very seriously, as we provide an escort for Santa, when he flies throughout Canada.

Canadian NORAD Region Names Santa's Escort Pilots
NORAD - December 12, 2007

Winnipeg, Man. – As Christmas gets closer, the Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Region has put the finishing touches on plans to track and escort Santa Claus when he visits Canada by naming four CF-18 fighter pilots as his official escorts.

Capts. Dave Moar and Craig Sharp of 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alta., and Capts. Colin Marks and Yannick Jobin of 3 Wing Bagotville, Que., will take on the responsibility of welcoming Santa when he arrives in Canada on his annual Christmas Eve journey, and escorting him safely through Canadian airspace.

The pilots will also take photos and video of Santa and his sleigh using special NORAD SantaCams mounted on their aircraft. The SantaCams instantly download the photo and video imagery so that it may be viewed by children worldwide on the NORAD Tracks Santa website, www.noradsanta.org, on December 24. All of this information will be available in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

For all you parents of little ones out there, make sure you visit NORAD on Christmas Eve, we have never been disappointed, they do a great job.

Who You Going To Call?

Nope, it's not the Ghostbusters, or even Santa, although this is a nice story at Christmas.

After all the American bashing that gets done by Canadians, and other countries, who gets called when someone is in trouble? Yup, you guessed it, the US military.

Navy saves teen.

SAN DIEGO - A teenager whose appendix ruptured at sea, hundreds of miles from help, got safely to shore Tuesday after an unusual rescue in which the Navy airlifted her from a cruise ship for emergency surgery.

So, next time you are yapping about those "nasty" Americans, think about how often they are the first to respond to people who need help.

Another happy note, seeing as I'm in the Christmas mood, Christmas packages for troops flood Kandahar

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- With Christmas just a week away, Canadian Forces postal workers at Kandahar Airfield have their hands full.

In the last two weeks alone, they've received some 43,000 kilograms worth of letters and packages for the troops. That's nearly a third of the total volume of mail received since August when the current batch of soldiers first arrived in Afghanistan.

Don't forget our troops this Christmas, they have one of the toughest jobs in the world. While you sit around with your family, sipping eggnog, at least raise your glass to our men and women proudly serving our country.

Collusion Is Illegal In Canada.

Glad to see that the Conservative party is continuing to put the pressure on the CBC, and the Liberal party.

The Liberals are saying it's nothing, everybody does it, but I think not to this extent. The Liberals might have seen this as an opportunity to smear the Conservatives, but it backfired. Just like Schreiber is not gaining any ground for the Liberals.

The Schreiber/Mulroney thing is one thing, everyone, even Liberals realize that it's a non-issue, Liberals just won't admit it.

Pablogate:
1. Pablo Rodriguez appears for the first time at the Ethics committee review of Schreiber/Mulroney. He is given time by a fellow Liberal.
2. A "mystery" reporter from the CBC, allegedly feeds Liberal MP, Pablo Rodriguez questions, that had nothing to do with Schreiber.
3. The Chair, Liberal MP Paul Szabo, allows the questioning, which was clearly outside of the committees mandate.
4. The Conservatives after protesting the line of questioning twice, force a vote on the issue, but are outnumbered by the opposition.
5. Former Liberal Cabinet Minister Jean Lapierre, says he was told about this the night before from a prominent Liberal MP.
6. Mike Duffy confirms on two separate shows, that a Liberal researcher told him that the CBC had given them questions, but they wrote them out. DUH!
7. Pablo Rodriguez goes on Mike Duffy Live, waves around some hand written notes, and declares, he wrote his own questions. No-one asks him why he showed up at the Ethics committee, to ask totally irrelevant questions to Mulroney.

I really think it stinks, because it was an agreement between the taxpayer funded CBC, and the Liberals.

Sure, reporters can ask Mulroney all the questions they want, but he can refuse to answer them. In committee, Mulroney, swore to answer all questions, so the CBC reporter colluded with the Liberals to get their questions asked. Do you know that companies in Canada can not collude, it's illegal. So, is this collusion between the CBC and Liberals illegal too?

Peacekeepers Or Peacemakers?

Dr. Roy has a great link to Rick Hillier, talking to regular Canadians.

What is a peacekeeper? Someone who makes, and keeps the peace. So, how are we not peacekeepers? The problem some people have is with the making of a place peaceful, because it means shooting to kill the bad guys. Yet, they say nothing about the bad guys beheading 15 year old boys for having some American money on him. Or killing women who dare to teach girls. Not a peep when a woman who is raped gets sentenced to 200 lashes. I don't understand this thinking, either we are there to help Afghanistan's, or not.

I was particularity disgusted with Oxfam, they were out in force at Bali, in their polar bear suits protesting global warming, where are they in Afghanistan? Too many non-profit groups give themselves the money first, the dictators second, and way down the list, the people who actually need it, might get something thrown at them. This Christmas, I'm not giving Oxfam a dime, if they can afford to fly to Bali and party, they don't need my money, I will give it to another charity that is actually helping people, not lobbying governments so they can keep their overblown salaries. WWF (World Wildlife Fund) is also on my bad list, they are more political than helpful.

Are Canadians peacekeepers, yes, but in order to be peacekeepers, we must be peace makers first. As for General Hillier and the PM, I bet the PM supports Hillier 100%. PM Harper does not suffer fools easily, and General Hillier is no fool. They appear to be two peas in a pod. Did Dion stop off in Afghanistan on his way home from Bali? NO? Guess the beaches there are not as appealing as in Bali.

Where Not To Shop This Christmas!

Of course my boys want the Guitar Hero III for Christmas, which is nowhere to be found right now. Luckily they are old enough to wait until after the Christmas rush, to get it, that way I won't have to buy it at some store that only sends out "Holiday" flyers. This year I am only shopping at Christmas friendly stores. Why? Here is an excellent video that explains my feelings why, if stores want my Christmas money, they better be prepared to say, Merry Christmas to me.

Click on the red light on the traffic light to activate.
This is good and so true...

For a complete list of Canadian stores to shop at go to the ProudtobeCanadian blog at see all the Fame and Shame stores.

Why should I spend my money at a store that doesn't respect Christmas?

Beer and Popcorn Reid, It's Not True!

It's the Conservatives who are trying to change the channel on the CBC issue, not the Liberals. They did nothing wrong! They really, really, didn't, now back to Mulroney/Schreiber.

Mike Duffy Live. Go to Scott Reid and Tim Powers.

Mike Duffy reconfirms that a Liberal researcher came up to them, and stated that the CBC had phoned the Liberals with the questions asked in the Ethics Committee.

This is not something they can hide under the rug, not with Mike Duffy asking the questions. Notice how Reid tries to change the topic?

The is a serious breach of Ethics, ironically, from a member of the Ethics Committee.

The Liberals, deny, deny, deny. If that doesn't work, quick change the channel to Bali, and get Dion on the phone!

CBC Puppets!

I happened to be able to watch most of the proceedings today. Shame on the opposition for playing politics with a former PM. They showed more respect for Schreiber than they did Mulroney.

I wondered what was going on when Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez questions did not even relate to the issues at hand, and now the Liberals have been exposed as CBC puppets.

This seems to be what happened. Rodriguez suddenly appears at the ethics to ask questions, that should not be allowed, but over the protests of the Conservative members, and after cutting Mulroney off, the Liberal Chairperson allows the questions. SETUP!

Later it is found out that CBC wrote those questions for Pablo. Interesting.

Now, watch how this is covered in the media. Should be informative. Should give confirmation of the CBC's bias. Who gets to investigate these allegations?

So Little Money, So Many Causes!

It appears taxpayers are bottomless pits. We should be supporting all sorts of programs, because we can afford to.

Socialists want us to fund:

Infrastructure
Health/Disease
Global Warming/Environment
Free drugs for all
Low cost housing for low income people
Universal daycare
Kyoto
Gun registry
CBC
Education
Seniors
Child Poverty
Aboriginals
SOW's

To name a few! Add your favorite to the list.

Where do they think this money comes from, government? Someone tell me, what does the government, on any level, produce? Nothing. What they do is take from productive members of society, and give it to unproductive members of society. How do they get those funds, again here's a list. (I'm sure I forgot something)

Federal taxes
Provincial taxes
Capital gains
EI
CPP
GST
PST (Thankfully I live in rat free, PST free Alberta)
Property taxes
User fees
Toll fees
Fuel taxes
Cigarette taxes
Liquor taxes
Bus fares
Death taxes (yes even when you die, you are taxed)

Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing socialists crying about their pet projects needing money? I can tell you every time I hear about another program the socialists want, I grab my wallet. Lately, that wallet is empty, but the shrieking for more is getting louder. Call me a selfish, cold hearted Conservative, only concerned with making money, at least I have a job. Problem is, I see 40% disappear off my cheque every payday, and then have to fork out more in other sundry taxes.

What started this rant? A neighbour has applied for a permit to run a concrete and landscaping business out of his home, in a family oriented single house area. It will cost me $37 to appeal it, just like it cost me money to have a garage sale. More taxes, disguised as fees.

Can a socialist EVER say, enough is enough?

It's A Sad Sad World.

Christmas is a time for joy, and family. So, the death of a little 16 year old girl by her father is very sad.

I send my "heathen" prayers to that little girl. She did not deserve to die for wanting to wear make-up and fit in with her peers. She had a future, that has now been snuffed out, by her own father.

Imagine the scene in the house, the father grips her throat, and strangles her. If I was there, he would have been hit by a huge frying pan until he released his daughter. This was a senseless death, Canadians need to step up and refuse to accept the abuse.

No religion should allow this, not ever, for any reason. Education is power. How can someone hate their own daughter so much that they kill them? When you are strangling a person, it is not instantaneous, it takes time, it takes intent, from what I have heard it can take as long as 5 minutes. So much hate, for such a small thing.

HO HO HOLD THE CASH! (part 2)

Bali baloney. Canada is the big bad 2% wolf, China the environmentalist's darling. Kind of like lefties supporting the Taliban, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Tamil Tigers.

Next to join Oxfam on my Christmas list of who not to donate to: Greenpeace, Canadian Youth Climate Coalition, Stop Climate Chaos, the Suzuki Foundation, and the Sierra Club. Let me also throw in, the United Way, and UNESEF, for their pro-abortion stance. Also from a comment by Just Right, Sally Anne, gets on the naughty list.

HO HO HOLD THE CASH, PEOPLE. Keep your cheque books closed to these supposedly non-profit organizations, unless you really know where your money is going. No funds, no organization.

Have I mentioned "Dogs with Wings"??? HA, just had to throw that in, those dogs are true helpers, plus they are a lot cuter than David Suzuki.

Bali Math, Per Capita.

We are BIG polluters, because "per capita" we are worse than China, yup, that's the lastest scam the econuts are using on us, to make us feel guilty, and send our hard earned money to China, I guess. If China is smart enough to have nuclear weapons, might they not be considered a developed country?

So, because Canada has only 33 Million people, and China has 1.5 Billion people, we are the bad guys not them. Our 2% emissions are worse because of our low population. Ahem, econuts, population is one of the problems, it should not be a reward. Maybe we should include all our trees in the calculation, they would be paying us money.

The way I understand it, India and China are good guys because they have billions of people who need cars, cell phones and TV's. Isn't that capitalism? Do the environmentalists understand that, or are they just happy to support one of the last communist counties.

I fully expect them all to leave Bali immediately, to help all those birds and animals in Korea..........NO?

How about supporting the 14 companies who want federal help in starting up a carbon sequestration plant in Alberta? ****Cue the crickets****

Thought so. Can you say money transfer scheme? Funny, seems Canadians have caught onto the econuts: (From the Ottawa Sun)

Do you think Stephen Harper should work harder to fight global warming?

Yes 41%
No 59%
Total Votes for this Question: 1290

People living in caves,
For no reason,
Econuts are finally happy!
I'm not making this up, I'm not allowed to.

HO, HO, HOLD The Cheque!

First on my naughty list is Oxfam. Yes, I know they do great work worldwide, I have contributed money to their cause, but not this year, this year, I'm giving to a more worthy charity. Why?

Awareness and concern about the climate is rising fast, and we’re determined to harness this energy and turn public pressure into real political action.

In December 2007, the UN Climate Change Conference takes place in Bali. There, politicians will discuss how to combat climate change on a global level.

It’s a vital opportunity, and Oxfam will be there, demanding a new climate deal, which promises to:

Keep global warming at less than 2°C, reduce carbon emissions and put the needs of the poorest countries first
Give developing countries the majority of the money and resources they need to adapt to climate change

Let's keep the pressure up to make sure it happens!

So, it's political now, this organization is not about helping people in poor countries anymore. It's a clear money grab by all charitable organizations now. I am sick of it!

My money this Christmas, is going to "Dogs with Wings" used to be Western Guide Dog, a non-profit organization that trains service dogs for the disabled. 100% of donations go towards training the dogs, they help the blind, deaf, handicapped and they are so busy, they have no time to be activists for global warming. Okay I admit, I've been a foster Mom to two of their dogs:

Pride

Aspen

Both nuts, both loved, both helping a handicapped person live a better life! Dog with Wings, number 3 is coming to us in January. We can't wait! (So ends my shameless plug for a very worthy charity.)

Yikes! I'm Conservative and Female!!!!

This silliness with Mathyssen, made me start to think about why females usually vote liberal.

It's not because females are stupid, more females are in university than males.
It's because females are thought to be more maternal, more loving, and more in touch with their feelings. Okay, that's all true. I'm very maternal, my family comes first, I love them dearly, and would do anything for them.

So, what makes me vote Conservative when the majority of females vote liberal? I think this is something the Conservative party is struggling with themselves.

Looking into what happened with Irene Mathyssen, got me thinking.

She portrays herself as the "victim" of seeing unsightly images of near naked women. So, she gets up in the House and slanders a male MP.

I would have marched over there immediately, and asked him what he was doing. You see, I've never used my femininity as an excuse to hold back my opinion.

Liberal females use the "females are the weaker sex" card when it works in their favour. I've never used it.

Liberal females think "choice" for women empowers females, I think it diminishes us as females.

Liberal females are offended by "scantily clad females" but think nothing of supporting legalized prostitution. I think prostitution degrades females. Legalizing prostitution won't make the fact that some women have sex with men, they don't know, for money, feel better about themselves. Imagine 20 or 30 slobbering, grunting guys using you every night, does that change because it becomes legal?

Liberal females have very low self esteem, they blame everyone except themselves for their problems. I know I'm worthwhile, so I don't need to attack males to make myself look better.

Liberal women, are weak, blame males for everything, and only use the feminist cause to make themselves look better, but don't be fooled, they hate males, kill their own kids, and want all females to suffer like they do.

Don't believe me? Who cares. Conservative women are family oriented, love their kids (they don't think killing them is okay), and they are confident in their own abilities. We don't hate males, we are actually quite happy with them, once we have them trained to do the laundry. HA.

Conservative and female, you bet! Put any Conservative female up against a liberal female (verbally, no physical punches allowed, cause we would clean their clocks), well, it's not even a fight. Who do you think formed this country? Tough women, who had the kids, kept the family together, and managed to help in the fields.

Conservative females are winners, liberal females are whiners!

Silly Season!

So the NDP had to apologize to both a Liberal candidate and a Conservative MP today.

Why Mathyssen didn't talk to Moore first, is beyond me. I guess it is silly season in the House.

Have they passed any bills during this session? Between the Liberals and their best buddy Schreiber, and the NDP trying to create scandals, the only ones who seem to be working are the Conservatives.

This group of scandal mongers have been around too long. The Liberals need a new leader and a policy platform. If Dion goes to Bali, and bad mouths the government, they are going to look like even bigger idiots then they do now! It also appears that the Liberals tried to keep Mulroney from appearing before the ethics committee, what's up with that?

The NDP need some MP's with brains, the only one I like and respect is Comartin, I used to like Pat Martin, but this Schreiber witch-hunt has put him in my bad books. Their recent attempt to slander a respectable MP is scary, in that a female MP stood up in the House, and using the fact that she is female, was able to slander a male MP with only innuendo.

The Bloq, are useless, they appear for question period, whine about Quebec needing more goodies, and how Alberta is the bad guy, then disappear to count the days until they get their pensions, while plotting to leave Canada.

No wonder no one respects MP's or Parliament anymore! Stop the silly season, pass some bills, or get out of the governments way.

Good Night Irene!

Holy Scandal Irene! Wow, how degrading to women, I'm with you all the way on this one! If male MP's are to be looking at Victoria Secret pictures, it's only our right as females to look at pictures of male models like this one:



Cover your eyes Irene, it's not a scantily clad woman, it's a scantily clad man, or maybe that doesn't turn your crank. Liberal Karen Redman also needs to be kicked in the backside for joining into this foolishness, my respect for her has taken a huge nose dive lately. She really is Dion's little poodle (I can get away with that because I am a female calling out another female). I can't believe any woman would degrade themselves like she has lately.

These feminist women just lower the expectations of females by acting like shrill fembots. I have heard the opposition females are releasing the Pink Book II, might this be why they brought this up, are they going for the female vote?

Well this female will never degrade herself by voting for any party that does not consider females to be equal. Irene Mathyssen and Karen Redman have just proven to me that female opposition MP's think they can attack male MP's without getting called on it. Well, BS, you have made all females look like idiots, and people wonder why more females don't get into politics. It's because they look at female MP's like these two, and cringe.

Got to go, I need to get supper on, and go find my husbands slippers so they are at the door when he gets home.

Not With A Bang, But With A Fizzle.

Can we now move on from Schreiber? Are we done? Or are the Liberals so desperate that they drag this thing on?

Most interesting were the comments posted, until they shut it down on CTV.

Marty
All I have to say is wow. The only scandal it seems right now is a Lieberal scam on the Canadian people. If Mulroney did not take kickback money from the whole Airbus affair, then I think the whole case is closed. The settlement that Mulroney was awarded should stand since the investigation was to see if Mulroney received money or kickbacks from the Airbus deal which it seems he did not. ....

I agree, don't we have more pressing issues for these people to deal with !!

Enough is enough. It's time to end this charade.

Okay, can we move on now? How about talking about those new low energy bulbs that contain mercury? Isn't mercury a pollutant, while CO2 isn't? Have I missed something here?

Bang, nope, fizzle yup, kind of like when a guy brags about........Oh, that's for another day.

Tribunals Or Witch Hunts?

A shiver runs down my spine every time I hear the word "tribunal". It conjures up the days of the witch hunts. One person can force you into a kangaroo court, no actual evidence needs to be presented, and a "tribunal" can sentence you.

Oh, not a "real" sentence, but one that stays with you throughout your life. These mock judges can ruin your life, get you fired, and get you labelled as a "hater".
Now, you the accused, must spend money to hire a lawyer for advise, and you can be fined if found "guilty". The person who accuses you, pays no money to bring their case forward and needs only hurt feelings to get a hearing.

What a powerful job that must be. Think of it, you have the power of a judge, without the responsibility of following the law. You can judge, without the person having a lawyer. You are a GOD, able to make decisions, not based on fact, but based on opinion.

We think we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, but we don't, not when anyone who gets ticked off at you can bring you in front of a "tribunal". These Human Rights Tribunals, must go the same way as the Court Challenges Program.

If you are so sure that you have been wronged, take your case to a real court, not a kangaroo court.

Oh, what got me started on this?

CALGARY - An Alberta man who has pressed for five years to get an anti-gay letter branded as hate literature won a victory Friday with a human rights commission ruling that said it broke provincial law and may even have played a role in the beating of a gay teenager.

Five years, he goes after a guy, for a letter, not even against him, you think the guy has an agenda? Do you see how these "tribunals" are being used by petty people to pursue their own agendas?

PM Harper Most Admired Leader!

Our PM Harper has been rated the most admired leader of 9 countries! So much for the Liberal babies who are crying that PM Harper is destroying our international reputation. Bet you don't see these results in any paper in Canada.

Stephen Harper and Angela Merkel are among the most admired current heads of government, according to a nine-country poll conducted by Angus Reid Strategies for Maclean’s. On a scale of one to 10, respondents rated the Canadian prime minister and the German chancellor at 5.9 points and 5.7 points respectively.

Canadians need to wake up, if you look at the results, they gave the PM the lowest rating (5.0) of all the other countries. It appears that the Italians love him, and so do the people of Turkey. Wasn't it Turkey who helped us with the evacuation of the Lebanese? Even China likes our guy, could it be because he sticks up for human rights?

So, take a bow, Prime Minister Harper, you are making a positive impression on the world for Canada.

Kangaroo Court!

From the Edmonton Sun.

An interesting poll also found at the Sun:

If a spring election is called, will the Conservatives achieve a majority government?

Yes 55%
No, but they will keep a minority government 36%
No, they will lose 9%

Total Votes for this Question: 833

Past CNEWS poll results

So, Dion, go for it!!! Only 9% think the Conservatives will lose the next election.

Global Warming Hits Canada!

They have been telling us it was coming, we should have listened. But, no, us deniers just wouldn't listen. So, this is what we get:



Why didn't we listen?

Storms began blasting through both the eastern and western parts of Canada Saturday. Snowstorms also hit the U.S., where as much as 40 centimetres are expected in parts of the Midwest.

In Atlantic Canada, a fall storm blanked parts of the region in snow and ice. Weather warnings have been issued in northern Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, eastern Prince Edward Island, and parts of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The snow, along with winds reaching 90 kilometres per hour, is prompting police to warn drivers to be vigilant about safety.

According to Environment Canada, parts of the region can expect to see 10 to 20 centimetres of snow once the storm passes through.

Guess those polar bears are loving this, but me, I was so hoping for global warming to be true.

Global Warming Anonymous

Hi, my name is Hunter, and I am a global warming denier.

I believe the climate is changing, but with -20C weather in November, I can not believe in global warming. I am how ever working on the 5 step plan.

1. Acknowledge you are a denier. (Done)
2. Bow down to the Goracle and believe everything a bug guy called Suzuki says. (Not going to happen).
3. Understand that cold weather is just more evidence that the globe is warming. (HA)
4. Ignore common sense, and just believe what the slanted UN climate change guys/gals are telling you. (I'm not stupid)
5. Watch "An Impossible To Believe Truth" over, and over, and over, until you are reprogrammed. (Waiting for "You Better Believe Us, Or You Will Die, Part Two.)

Now, can I get my Starbucks coffee, and blow this joint?

Killing Off Lefties!

No, not us Conservatives, it's the lefties killing their own, but don't make them look at the evidence of what they do. That's not allowed!

"If these images are so awful that we don't want to see them, perhaps we shouldn't tolerate the act of abortion," said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue. He said the graphic images on Operation Rescue "Truth Trucks" drive home the group's message about the horrors of abortion.....After someone called police to report "gory" images, officers jailed the driver on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. They cited a provision that refers to "the display of obscene and vulgar images visible to persons under age 14."


I don't know if the images work, they did for me, seeing them woke me out of a deep sleep about what abortion really is, baby killing. Lefties problem is that if just pictures of abortion are obscene and vulgar, how much more vulgar and obscene is the actual act?

What I have noticed is this simple fact. We have a Catholic school and a Public school right next to each other, the Catholic school needs three big buses everyday for their students, the Public school, one small bus. The Catholic school is full, adding portables every year. The Public school, they have room for a big day/after school care program. Who is going there after school? Yup, you guessed it, lots of Catholic school kids.

My boys have asked me how come the other school is so empty, my response? Catholics put families above all else, and we are rewarded by God, with many children for us to love. Soon will come the day I need to explain to them why parents can legally kill their children, it's not a day I am looking forward to, but I know it is coming. Hopefully they will forgive those non-parents, for they know not what they do.

How About Video's Of Beheadings?

If the video of the Dziekanski incident, which is still being shown repeatedly on TV, got such a public outcry, mainly against the RCMP, maybe the same could work if videos of the Taliban beheading young children and women were shown, repeatedly.

The public is calling for those officers to be charged with murder, when that was clearly never the intent. Those officers were doing their jobs, and an unfortunate and totally unexpected result occurred. Yet we has a massive uproar over this innocent man's death.

Well, okay, I see the point, it bothers me too, it shouldn't have happened, and we should do everything we can to prevent anything like that happening again. Just like we should do everything we can to prevent another kid walking into a school and deliberately killing fellow students.

Just like we should do everything we can to prevent the Taliban from killing more innocent women and children, so maybe, a few beheading/hanging videos would do the trick. Seems that one innocent man dying can motivate the Canadian public, so let's motivate them to help innocents in Afghanistan.

Or, how about showing video of the teacher getting her 40 lashes for naming a bear Muhammad, might that motive women's groups to rally and protest? ***Cue the crickets***.

God Appears To Be Laughing!

As I sit in my basement, wearing double socks and layered clothing, I get the feeling that God is laughing.

If he created everything, why didn't he create a thermostat for this world? Or did he?

How is it that Alberta and Saskatchewan have all that natural gas and oil? Could it be that millions of years ago, God knew we would need it to survive our winters? Did he create the natural hole in the ozone so that all those nasty CO2 non-polluting fumes, had a way to leave earth's atmosphere? Just asking. I'm sure some well versed scientist will enlighten me.

Why is it that China is a developing country when they have been around for thousands of years more than Canada and the US? How many more centuries are they going to need to develop?

God must surely be laughing. Environmentalists are trying to predict what he has in store for us 50 years into the future, and nobody is calling them on it. Even a first year statistics course tells you never to predict beyond the data you are using, meaning if you are studying yearly data, you can accurately predict the next year, but no further. Look at the hurricane predictions, for two years they have predicted a very intense hurricane season, for two years in a row they have been wrong. So, how can bug guys like Suzuki, know what's in store for us 10/20/50 years from now? They can't, that's why God is laughing.

Don't get me wrong, I am a denier! That does not mean that I do nothing to conserve this earth, remember Conservatives have the word conserve in their name.

I recycle, compost, use no chemicals in my yard, and only have to go 20 steps to get fresh strawberries, raspberries, and vegetables from my garden (in season, right now everything is hibernating, like me in my basement). I have 4 rain barrels to catch water to feed my plants, those nasty CO2 eating plants keep my family healthy by clearing our stale house air in the winter, we have just installed a 92% efficient furnace, and I never drink lattes, or line up at Timmies, but I do start my car early in minus 20 weather, so sue me.

I am sick and tired of the eco-nuts, flying all over the world spewing carbon to tell us how we should live our lives. I suspect God is laughing, and will show us this winter, that only he has control of our earth, get those long johns out, it's going to be a cold one!

Saskatchewan Rising!

It's not just them winning the Grey Cup, and congrats on that. It's not just them booting out the NDP, after years of bad policy. It's got a gold rush feel to it. An excitement that is starting to make the whole province vibrate. Like Alberta did when Leduc #1 came in as a gusher.

Alberta has been feeling it for years, we are getting quite jaded about our success now, too bad. We've lost that excitement, that vision of what COULD be, and settled into complacency. Not so Saskatchewan, the foot has been lifted off their necks, they are rising to the challenge of fresh (okay, I know it was down right cold today)new days ahead.

People are going to start returning, young people, with young families, not the geriatric crowd.

Get ready for success Saskatchewan, it's your time. Enjoy, and welcome to the have crowd, it's a sweet place to be!

That Bully Harper Is At It Again!

Yup, somehow he managed to convince 52 other Commonwealth nations that every country must work towards reducing "climate change".

How do I know PM Harper is a bully? Well the media and Dion have told me this. How does Dion, stuck back in Canada know this? Well, the media told him, who else.

Stephen Harper forces amendment to climate deal

"I have seen reports that Canada was isolated on this position," Harper said to journalists. "That's not remotely true."

Harper claimed that, on a range of issues, Canada was a consensus-builder. "For the first time in a very long time, Canada's voice is being heard and the consequence of our voice being heard is we're getting the changes we want to see," he said.

Commonwealth Secretary General Don McKinnon says that, although that may be the case for Canada, it isn't as much for smaller countries, such as Tuvalu, Maldives and Singapore.

"For three countries, maybe four, it is survival," said McKinnon. "Survival that your country will still be there."

This at the same time that Dion is quoted:

Dion blasts Tories over Commonwealth climate deal

"We want our country to be part of the solution, not part of the problem," Dion said.

"With Mr. Harper, we will not be part of the solution, it is clear."

No, what is clear Mr. Dion, is that you did nothing, and wouldn't have the balls that PM Harper has to stand up to little dictators, be they environmentalists or dictators of small Commonwealth countries. The eco-nuts will never be happy until we are living in trees like monkeys. The developing countries see Canada as a teat to suck off our wealth.

My respect for our Prime Minister is growing daily, everything he does is principled and designed to make Canada a better place to live, for ALL Canadians. Too bad the media only shows the PM in a bad light, because hard as they try to make him into a bully, the average Canadian is seeing their hopes and desires in him. He is an average hockey Dad, who happens to be running Canada, and doing an excellent job I might add.

Keep at it PM Harper, I sense the tide is rising.

Media Uses Lethal Weapon...!

....My Mother voted for you.... Absolutely hilarious.

The lefties are pulling out all stops against PM Harper, they have now brought their Mother's into the climate change debate. You heard me, their Mother's.

Listen to the second Quebec reporter, it's down right funny!

Oh, I bet PM Harper is shaking in his boots now.

Interesting that the media is trying to portray PM Harper as isolated, when in fact he just got all 53 countries to agree with his position. PM Harper 1, Media 0.

If this had been a Liberal PM, they would be singing his praises, and talking about real leadership...BLAH, blah. Notice that Dion has been on Question Period every week for weeks, this never happened when Harper was in opposition, talk about pushing your agenda. The media is getting frantic, along with the Liberals, they see their gravy train disappearing, and are pulling out all the stops.

Come on, bringing your Mother into the fight? That's really low.

Global Cooling...No Global Warming...No Climate Change

I'm confused, first it was global cooling, they were going to put ashes on the glaciers to stop the reflection to keep the heat in, then it was global warming, but people just laughed at that one, so now we have climate change.

I can live with that. I agree that the climate changes. So does PM Harper. Listen carefully to him, never does he say he supports global warming, not once has he said Kyoto is good. Listen to Baird, he talks about climate change, pollution and cleaning up our air, land, and water. Never once have I heard him talk about global warming, only climate change.

It's a tiny distinction, but a very important one. Conservatives have conserve in their name, so it is easy to understand why the government has just created the largest national park, in the world. We Conservatives, like to conserve. Did the media cover that announcement? Nope, you see Liberals, have the word lie in their name. Conserve versus lie, easy choice.

Now to this media created "scandal".

Canada is reportedly holding up a resolution at the Commonwealth summit in Uganda which calls for binding climate change targets, sources have confirmed.

Environmentalists and Commonwealth sources claim Canada has problems with the resolution despite virtually all other countries in attendance, except Australia, supporting it.

Bad, bad PM Harper, holding up third world countries from getting their goodies. Oh, environmentalists claim? Let's see, they have mental in their name...I'm starting to detect a pattern here. Conserve, lie, mental...hummm, whom should I believe?

How desperate are our liberal media, not one good thing said on air about PM Harper. Does anyone wonder why he doesn't talk to them? If I knew that I was going to talk to a hostile group, why would I go there?

Global cooling, global warming, now climate change, make up your minds lefties, your spin is getting old.

Hands In My Pockets!

No, it's not our poor, our homeless, or disabled, with their hands out! It's our cities!

Canada needs to spend $123 billion to shore up the aging infrastructure of its towns and cities, warns the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

"These findings, combined with the evidence of deterioration Canadians see in their own communities, suggest that much of our aging municipal infrastructure is on the brink of failure," said the report released Tuesday in Ottawa.


You see, CANADA needs to spend..., not the cities, not the provinces, but CANADA.

Ontario is sitting on a surplus, are the cities asking them for money? Nope. Why not? Political allies join together to make their enemies look bad, that would be the Conservative federal government. Why don't the provinces raise their PST, they have 2% to work with now? Oh, it would look bad for them to do that? I see!

Cities are raising property taxes by double digits, just to maintain the services we have, not to improve them. Victoria still spews raw sewage into the ocean, is that a priority with them, nope. All provinces could solve their problems by increasing their PST (excluding Alberta). Didn't the feds just transfer extra money to all provinces to fix the fiscal imbalance? Where did that money go?

The heart of the problem is who runs in municipal elections. All lefties, all the time. Edmonton kicks out the only conservative voice on our city board, and I have it from a Nickels worker, that the lefties all combined their resources to defeat our only right leaning councilor. Now, Edmonton in the heart of Conservative country has a Liberal/NDP city board, how does that happen? Power from the bottom up.

"We can see the consequences in every community," the report said "Potholes and crumbling bridges, water-treatment and transit systems that cannot keep up with demand, traffic gridlock, poor air quality and a lack of affordable housing."

First they take over our cities, then our provinces, then our country. We sit quietly by thinking, it doesn't matter that our municipal councillors are voting themselves 10 to 20% raises, are using our funds to build 40 million dollar art galleries we will never visit, but when the streets need cleaning, our cupboards are bare. It doesn't matter because we have a Conservative federal government who will now protect us from the money grabbers.

Wake up, our cities and provinces need to be called on their spending. If the various levels of government would just do their jobs, maybe, just maybe, we would actually be able to help the disabled.

Hands in my pockets, politicians in my wallet, everyone wants a piece, until there is nothing left for me.

Dion Would Like Someone To Steal His Identity.

The way his numbers are looking, bet he would welcome someone else taking his place.

The Identity Theft Bill, is a bill that I can easily support, it's a no brainer, so I expect the opposition to support it. In our house, we have a shredder, and everything with our name goes into it, including those credit card company applications that get sent out to me on a regular basis. I buy a lot of items on Ebay, and never use my credit card, I go to the bank and get a money order, my bank doesn't charge extra for them, so it's a good deal. So why should I have a credit card if I'm afraid to use it?

The federal Tories tabled a bill Tuesday that would give authorities the power to arrest, charge, and convict people who intend to sell personal information as part of an identity theft scheme.

Currently, the law makes it illegal to misuse someone's personal information to create false identification or for other fraudulent purposes.

However, it is not against the law to collect, possess, or traffic another person's identity information.

So, now they can go after the identity theft rings BEFORE they use your stolen identity. Bet this bill passes before the age of consent bill.

Quebec Might Save Canada!

Quebec and Alberta are natural partners, we both want the feds to stay out of our business. We both want our provincial powers respected.

So why does the Bloq party constantly attack Alberta because we have oil? Envy? Every time I watch question period, the Bloqheads are attacking Alberta. Do they not realize that our tax dollars are supporting them, and their socialist province? They have hydro, a nice clean power, good for them, but why does the Bloq in every question have to bring Alberta oil into the equation? We don't slag Quebec, our tax dollars support that have not province.

Guess it's good politically for the Bloq to make Alberta into the enemy, us rich westerners are somehow suppressing Quebec from reaching it's glory. Have they ever stopped to think that Alberta is great because we do not suppress our industries? Has Quebec ever thought that their unions are killing their province?

Yet, Quebec might be our saviour, they are starting to realize before other provinces that accommodating other cultures will kill the culture they treasure. They are starting to realize that multiculturalism is a farce. They of all our provinces might be able to save us from immigrants demanding we accommodate their cultures.

Quebec might save Canada.

NO MORE!

Liberals think that they can divide Conservatives over this Mulroney issue. Are they really that dense?

Why do the Liberals think they can create some sort of rift between Conservatives? That's just how they think, they use hints, and insinuation. They are great illusionists.

Here's my take on the situation. I didn't much like Mulroney, but he is a Conservative, and the Liberals are trying to drag him through the mud, again. I do really like Harper, and he is a Conservative. Now, the Liberals are trying to tie the two together over this inquiry. This ticks ALL Conservatives off.

We were out in the wilderness too long to give up what we have worked so hard to build. You see, Liberals attacking a former PM and the present PM, is starting to make Conservatives of all colours, MAD.

I saw it on Goldhawk on Sunday, when everyone else was watching the football game. Callers were livid, they were not taking any excuses from the smug journalists. I thought about it all day today. It was interesting, journalists are used to coming on Duffy Live and spouting their opinions, without having to face the public. They can pontificate at will in the papers, on TV, and on to a lesser extent radio. Finally the public got a chance to blast the media, and boy did they ever give them both barrels! The journalists were shocked that they weren't being allowed to just spout their garbage. It should happen more often. Maybe then the media will see how PM Harper feels.

I have noticed more Conservatives on media comment pages not letting Lefties get away with posting lies and smears. The lefties use emotions, the Conservatives tend to use facts. Even last year I would have never posted to any of those sites, nor written a letter to the editor, I have now. Why? Lefties are ticking me off with their "Canadian values" (they never really tell us what those are), and their "Conservatives are just wrong headed" comments.

It's all about smear and innuendo. Get a rumour started and it takes on a life of it's own. Liberals know this, it has worked before with the "hidden agenda", very effectively. That's why they hate the "Dion is not a leader" ads.

This smearing will not work anymore, they have pissed Conservatives off, and Conservatives are starting to fight back.

No more, just going to the polls and voting for me. No more, listening to Liberals at work and not saying anything, not letting anyone know that I am a Conservative. No more, hiding the fact that I think abortion is baby killing. No more, being silent about the fact that I think "global warming", and Kyoto in particular, are just money grabbing schemes. No more, accepting Liberal judges bad decisions.

NO MORE!

Just Watched Goldhawk Live...It Was A Slaughter!

Not for Mulroney, for the journalists. Stevie Cameron was on, talking about how Mulroney had a safe as big as a fridge at Sussex Drive and how he loved dealing in cash, how did she know that? The former chef told her! Wow, I'm impressed, her informant was the chef (I always thought that it was the butler that did it). That's the first time I have ever seen this lady, but, wow, does she have an agenda. She got called on it too! The callers were not believing the journalist's hype.

The fun part was the callers, they were really seriously MAD that PM Harper was being dragged into this whole issue. They were really MAD that the journalists were so biased against Mulroney. I missed the first 15 minutes of the show, but from what I saw, people don't care about the $300,000, they care about a former PM not getting the respect they think he deserves.

One caller went after Goldhawk and the journalists, he was livid. Good for him!

Funny, when asked about reporters being called before the inquiry, Stevie Cameron could not see why they should be called. Obviously she has done no wrong, in her own mind. Yet she had just strongly implied that Mulroney was taking cash while in office. No proof except a safe in the kitchen, and a chef who saw it.

All the journalists did agree that PM Harper would not feel any big impact from this, although L. Martin did hint a few times that it might hurt the Conservative brand. So, who do I think it will hurt?

Honestly, maybe it's only a gut feeling, or that famous six sense that us females have, but there is a shift happening, not just in Quebec, but everywhere, you can just about smell it in the air (oops, that's the snow I'm smelling), people are liking the job the Conservatives are doing.

More than that, they are starting to feel that PM Harper is THEIR guy, and they are getting protective. Those callers were a good indication of the mood of the people. They clearly were sick and tired of the spin by journalists, one guy wanted the CBC to pay for the inquiry. Goldhawk and his guests were clearly taken aback by caller after caller calling THEM out. Frankly, it looked good on them.

Media Bias, I'm Shocked!

Here is a classic example of reporters making up the news.

Don Martin, National Post
Published: Saturday, November 17, 2007
in Montreal

Brian Mulroney huddled with wife Mila and a few faithful in a hotel suite on Thursday evening. When the dinner bell rang, the former prime minister shook hands with his "true friends" before heading for his first Quebec appearance as a Conservative outcast.

Please! "huddled", "few faithful", "true friends" "outcast", this is reporting? More like juvenile story telling. But there's more:

The only Conservative of any parliamentary stripe recognized from the podium was former party bagman Senator David Angus. When Mulroney loyalists tried without success to cajole a few words of praise from him for the record, he looked like he'd been confronted by a drill-armed dentist with a pain fetish.

Even Grits seemed squeamish about getting caught in the same physical space as Mr. Mulroney. Former Liberal Cabinet minister Martin Cauchon ran for the washroom at the sight of a reporter waving a notebook in the air.

So, now we get, "bagman", "loyalists", "cajole", "drill-armed", and "fetish". Oh, I forgot, the one Liberal mentioned gets to be "squeamish". Wait there's more:

That's undoubtedly the queasy optic that convinced Mr. Harper to put a barge pole between his Cabinet and the former prime minister, even though the allegations come from a story-changing, probable deportee sitting in a Toronto jail.

In only one sentence we get, "queasy" (goes nicely with squeamish), "barge pole", and "allegations". Shall we continue?

But Stephen Harper's no-talk, no-touch has infuriated Mr. Mulroney, who believes he has been betrayed and found guilty despite the expected presumption of innocence.

Okay, this whole sentence is the writers opinion, you notice, he is NOT quoting Mulroney, he's making this up! Oh, wait, there's more:

Oops In a column on Tuesday I wrongly wrote that Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon said Mr. Mulroney should have been the subject of an inquiry during Jean Chretien's term of office. Mr. Cannon only said questions on the Mulroney legal settlement should be directed at Mr. Chretien, not Mr. Harper.

I think this is a true picture of this writers motivation, he fits in real well on CBC's Politics, watch Fridays segment starting at around 44 if you doubt my word. This guy wrote a story, WITHOUT checking his source??? Nice, and all he can say is "Oops"? All this garbage was spewed (see I can do it too)in one story, from one supposedly unbiased reporter.

Bet you can all find examples like this "story", Key members of Progressive Canadians to join federal Liberals
GLORIA GALLOWAY What, is her high ranking Liberal husband writing her stories for her now, or did she get this from the Liberal site?

Media, making up the news, not reporting it. Who would have guessed. By the way, try to find one single good story about the Conservatives, or the Prime Minister this week, I dare you! Okay, make it this month. Thought so!

Guns, Guns, Everywhere, There's Guns, Shooting Up The Innocent...

Okay, it's Friday, I've had a beer or two (yes us rednecked girls drink beer), but can we kill the gun registry already?

The lefties are aghast, or is it they just have gas. (HA, I've solved the sour lefty face mystery...that's why Layton looks like he does all the time...pent up gas). Okay, I digressed, (sips beer)but really can all us gun toting hillbillies, have a gun registry killing party and shoot it up? Please? Can we?

Liberals are going after Mulroney because he got paid $300,000 of NON-taxpayer money, but, it's okay that Liberals spent 2 BILLION dollars on a registry that has not helped jail one criminal? This would be funny if it wasn't such a waste of taxpayers money. Yah, yah, I know the gun registry gets over 5,000 to 10,000 (soon we will hear it's closer to 20,000) hits a day, (dang that's a lot of speeders) and the liberal police captains love it (talk to real on the street officers for the real story, reporters won't. Those big guys in uniform with guns, in our cities, are scary),lefty agruments are all about emotion not logic.

I do not own a gun, I went ducking hunting one time with my brother, he forgot to tell me to hold the gun firmly on my shoulder, I think I still have a bruise there, and my butt is still sore over 20 years later, that was the beginning and the end of my duck hunting career. I do love deer jerky though, and moose roasts are awesome, when I can beg them from hunters.

Why don't lefties understand that the $2 Billion would have put more boots on our streets, and saved more people from being victims of crime, than a stupid gun registry that no criminal will ever use?

Guns, guns, everywhere there's guns, shooting up the innocent... used by the gangs.

Go after the criminals, leave the law abiding duck (ex-duck)hunters alone.

Ban criminals, not guns!

HIS WORD!

Nothings working for the Liberals. They call for a review of tazers, Day get's up in Question Period, and says he started one, 4 days after the death in Vancouver, over a month ago.

Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day told the Commons Thursday about the review of tasers, something he had ordered days after a Polish immigrant died following shocks from a taser at the Vancouver airport.

The day after media outlets around the world aired the dramatic video of Robert Dziekanski being tasered by the RCMP, Mr. Day said he had already asked for the review about four days after Mr. Dziekanski's death.

They try to tie PM Harper with Mulroney, because Mulroney visited the Harper's for supper once? Meanwhile PM Harper calls a full public inquiry. Dion doesn't clue into it after three questions, and the Liberals tote how smart Dion is? HA. Now we know the meaning of dumb as a brick.

Meanwhile Mulroney sues Liberal MP Thibault for libel, this is not reported in the Globe and Mail, but they are up in arms about a former PM taking $300,000 to lobby government, which was perfectly legal back then in 1993. Thibault has also been consorting with the criminal Schreiber since the spring, is that when they came up with their little plot against Mulroney? Nothing about this in the Globe and Mail, funny that.

Meanwhile, back at home, I asked hubby what he thinks of all this, as a very non-political guy, he says, it's a waste of time and money. I agree. Nobody is discussing this at the watercooler, or even on talk radio, it's old. Liberals are in full cry, but soon they will be crying. Why was PM Harper so quick to call a full public inquiry, are the Liberals even asking themselves that one? Is CBC?

It's funny how they think they are winning, are they really that clueless? This might last for a week, what will they do after that? Or are they just so arrogant that even faced with another $2 million lawsuit because of slandering Mulroney, they think they are going to win this time? With the massive help of the MSM, they shot their load early, but they had to try and save Schreiber, what did he promise them I wonder?

What do they have? They have one criminal desperately trying to stay in Canada, who has now changed his tune for the 10Th time, and said that 3 days before Mulroney retired he made arrangements for the $300,000, not even that he paid him the money then, just that they made arrangements. And the proof of this? HIS WORD!

My, my, that's an airtight case if I've ever seen one. Liberals, all smear, all the time (with media help), that's how they think, what can you expect from people without morals. A clear case of lust for power corrupting totally.

Two Tier Outhouse!

Okay this is just a funny political statement! Judge for yourself.



Going with the theme, I think the Liberals pissed away their chance to make the Mulroney thingy an issue, because they have pooped in their own nest too often, and tried to cover it up (Puffins anyone?).

They should also be scared because of the crap that Chretien pulled on Mulroney, this full public inquiry might just catch some big Liberals sitting on the toilet, with they pants down!

HA! (Washing hands now, this is a Gritty topic!)

Deport Schreiber!

Here's the rub for the Liberals, no-one remembers that Mulroney was a Prime Minister, let alone a PC. Most people who know who he was, understand the the PC's are a dead party, they do not exist anymore. In every article, it's about Mulroney/Schreiber, and people go so what? They don't care. They don't watch question period. They are more interested in their families and their jobs then politics.

Liberals are dirt digging, they thought they had a winner with this "in/out" thingy with elections funds, except today we hear that the opposition walked out on a committee vote (Pierre Poliverre talked about this just before question period) to stop having to reveal their elections expenses. The Conservatives filed their report in court and ALL parties were shown to have done the exact same thing as the Conservatives.

The question now is, why did Elections Canada allow all the other parties to claim their expenses for advertising, but disallowed the same Conservative claims? Of course we will not see this reported in the MSM.

The Liberals jumped the scandal gun because they are trying to save Schreiber from jail in Germany, what deal did they make with him? How is it possible that the Liberals after 8 years never deported the guy? Ralph Goodale asked twice in question period whether Schreiber would now be deported. Why is Ralphie so concerned about a criminal? He can be beamed into any courtroom from jail in Germany, he doesn't have to be here in Canada to testify. Deport him! Look into who visited Schreiber in jail, how many Liberals were talking to him?

Question period today, was a total wash for the Liberals, Dion's guns backfired when PM Harper got up, and calmly stated he would call a full public inquiry. Dion kept reading off of his pre-written question, and Harper made him look like a total fool, again.

Jack Layton was caught out on CPAC, stating that his MP Pat Martin received a letter from Schreiber months ago but did not react until a sworn affidavit was issued, which by the way, is exactly what PM Harper did. I think Layton actually blushed! Never seen Layton at a loss for words before, it was too funny!

Now the opposition are crying that PM Harper didn't act fast enough? Hello Liberals Air India? Airbus...oops forgot you paid Mulroney 2+M for that one.

Keep rooting around in the dirt Liberals, it's raining, and the mud is all sticking to you!

Deport Schreiber.

Mulroney Calls For Full Blown Public Inquiry!

So, who's scared of the facts? It appears the Mulroney isn't. He has basically just given PM Harper full permission to hold an inquiry.

Mulroney said he will meet with the adviser but he will come to that meeting with a message.


"I have come to the conclusion that in order to finally put this matter to rest and expose all the facts and the role played by all the people involved, from public servants to elected officials, from lobbyists to police authorities, as well as journalists, the only solution is for the government to launch a full-fledged public commission of inquiry,'' he said in a statement.

Interesting, what will Cretien's puppet, Dion do about this move? Chess and checkers, folks, chess and checkers.

PM Harpers Vimy Ridge Speech

This is worth watching again. It's an awesome speech that PM Harper gave at the 90th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge, the place that served to forge Canada as a nation.



If that doesn't work, try going here.

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Remember our troops of yesterday . Do not break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep.

The youngsters of today, are the leaders of tomorrow, make sure they know what Canadians sacrificed to keep our country "Strong and Free".

Do not forget our troops of today. From Army.ca

Don't forget that........

It's the soldier, not the reporter who has given us
Freedom of the Press.
It's the soldier, not the poet, who has given us
Freedom of Speech.
It's the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the
Freedom to Demonstrate.
It's the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the
Right to a Fair Trial.
It's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and
whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who gives the protestor the right to burn the flag.
~Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Do not make our troops a political football. They serve for our greater good.

Sad Day

Had to make the decision to release my 15 year old puppy from her pain. It was very quick and painless, for her, me, not so much. Love you Brindle! Best dog I've ever had, may you join Lucky, Tash, Tiger, Tex, Tara and Champ, and romp with them until I arrive to hug you all.

Barking Up The Wrong Tree, Again!

Hello Liberals, I know your mindset is corruption, as you are famous for it, but a 20 year old scandal, has no traction, no matter how hard the MSM bleat your cause.

Read my lips, NO ONE IS LISTENING!

The PC's are gone, the Conservatives are new, especially since they got rid of Garth. Without any scandal from them, you are desperately trying to make something stick to them, so you reach back more than 20 years to try to find something? Ahem, Adscam was only 10 years ago, and you constantly tell us that it is ancient history, that the Liberals are renewed, BLAH. Dion was in cabinet at the time of Adscam, is he such a non-entity that he knew nothing?

So, keep it up, I hear that Mulroney has some very powerful lawyers, question is, does the Liberal party have the money to fight both Mulroney and an election?

Who Is Soiling Our Country?

So Vancouver has had two more people killed in a gang related killing. People are calling for tougher immigration laws but some of these criminals are Canadian born, so even if we wanted to we couldn't deport them, except to Hans Island maybe.

Remember the 17 arrested for wanting to behead the Prime Minister? Well the ring leader just got let out on bail, how long before all 17 are out?

All the immigrants I have met are happy to be in Canada, they are law abiding and are teaching their children to be the same way. We have a Russian couple across the lane from us, and their 2 boys speak excellent English (after 1 year here), they know right from wrong and they will be/are excellent Canadians. My neighbours next door, were in a refugee camp and picked Canada, because they loved the maple leaf, they have raised two children, one is an engineer, the other an economist, neither one was ever in any trouble growing up. So, don't blame ALL immigrants, most are moving here to raise their children in a peaceful country.

So, who is soiling our country? Think about it, think about it, REAL hard.

Save A Killer, Or A Baby!

The left are howling again, about how the Conservatives are going to let an admitted double murderer get the needle.

Yet they love needles for druggies, all the faster to help them kill themselves.
They have no problem with babies being killed as it is a "women's right".

So, let me try to get this lefty thinking straight.

Capital punishment, bad.
Abortion, good.
Euthanasia good.

Can they not see the hypocrisy?

Save confessed killers and druggies, but PROUDLY kill babies, elders, disabled, and the sick.

She Said, Then He Said!

She, being me said on my blog on November 1st:

Mulroney, Liberals calling for an investigation. Didn't Mulroney win 2 million last time the Liberals tried this one? Careful where you go with this Liberals, the RCMP are still investigating Adscam. No-one cares about Mulroney anymore. Push the Conservatives enough and they might forget about the Parliamentary Protocol that says you do not go after former PM's. I think Chretien would be a big target.

Then he said, on November 2nd:

While taking questions from reporters, Harper suggested that if the Liberal Party wanted him to launch politically charged investigations, he could theoretically start with past Liberal dealings -- including former prime minister Jean Chretien's involvement in the controversial sale of golf courses and Paul Martin's involvement with Canada Steamship Lines while he was prime minister.

"This is not a route that I want to go down, and I don't think if the Liberal Party thought twice about it, it is a power they would want to give me," Harper said.

I know PM Harper is not reading my blog, but we obviously think alike!

Careful how you tread lefties, didn't Jesus say, let those of you without sin cast the first stone? (Okay, it's not an exact quote, but the message is clear.) So, how did the "in out" thingy work for you Liberals? Oh, one of your MP's is under investigation by Election Canada for serious misrepresentation of expenses? See what happens when you cast the first stone? Doesn't work very well does it?

Liberal's Being Liberal!

I have watched Question Period a few times lately during my lunch hour. I have read the G&M online, and luckily I have never seen a Toronto Star in Alberta. So, what's going on with the Liberals?

They don't seem to understand that trying to attack the Conservatives by making up scandals is not working. Since they have been back, they have done nothing but attack on false/phoney/imagined Conservative wrong doings.

1. Elections Canada being sued by Conservative party - the Liberals finally comment outside the House, and Conservative members threaten to sue for libel. Then one of their own members gets into hot water about his cash payments (brown bags folks!) during the last election. Silence on this issue now.

2. Mulroney, Liberals calling for an investigation. Didn't Mulroney win 2 million last time the Liberals tried this one? Careful where you go with this Liberals, the RCMP are still investigating Adscam. No-one cares about Mulroney anymore. Push the Conservatives enough and they might forget about the Parliamentary Protocol that says you do not go after former PM's. I think Chretien would be a big target.

3. Afghanistan and detainees, good one Liberals, make sure Denis Coderre doesn't march in the next Hezbollah march and you might have some credibility.

4. Send murderers home to Canada because they might face the death penalty in a democratic country. Then they can advocate to get them released into society because Canada is a freedom loving country, and criminals are more important than victims. This one will go over really well with the "guns should be banned" crowd!

Liberals are just being liberal. They think because they are immoral, the Conservatives must be too. Brown bags, 40 million missing, no big deal, they crow about how not one MP has been convicted of any wrong doing. Have they ever apologized for taking 40 million of taxpayers money? Nope, they think it's no big deal. BUT let the Conservatives dismiss two potential candidates, IT'S HEADLINE NEWS, thanks to the MSM.

A sitting Liberal MP is accused of breaking Elections Canada rules and Liberals think they are principled because they kicked the guy out of the Liberal party? Right, once it made the papers they kick the guy out, even though they knew about his problems a long time ago. BUT let the Conservatives do not support Casey for re-election because he voted against the Conservatives on a confidence vote, that is way worse! Are you starting to get the picture?

Liberals being Liberal, means they can lack all the morals they want, but Conservatives had better watch every word, they MUST be squeaky clean, because the Liberals would love to bring them down into the swamp they live in.

No wonder PM Harper won't give the press an inch. I wouldn't either.

Scary but Fun!

We love Halloween at our house, we have great fun as a family putting together all the displays. BOO!!!

All that work and we only got about 10 kids. Which means about 300 Halloween candies for me!!!!
