Bad PM, Bad, Bad PM, Now Sit and Stay!


Good Boy! HA! Okay so far, the lefties refuse to say good boy. They are still trying to train the PM to OBEY their commands. How's that working for you lefty reporters? Readership dropping?

PM Harper's iron message control working

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has become legend for the iron control he exerts not only over the messages his government sends out over the heads of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, but also the messages his staff and MPs project.


Over the heads?? Meaning that PM Harper should bow down to the reporters in the parliamentary press gallery? Who are you but some journalist hacks with an agenda? Why should the PM care about your hurt feelings?

The PMO issues-management unit, whose job it is to get on top of breaking developments even before they break, was meeting every morning at 6 a.m. The schedule was so gruelling one of the young staffers complained to another he was going to bed at 9 p.m. each night, adding "and I'm not 80 years old."

Liberals in the Opposition Leader's Office, meanwhile, were beginning their daily strategy and tactics meetings at 8:30 a.m. as swine flu developments dominated Question Period. The comparison of schedules demonstrates the intensity of discipline that now envelopes Harper and his staff.


So, what we have here are lazy Liberals and said reporter, who can't be bothered to get their butts out of bed early enough to catch the worm, then they complain that the worm has been eaten and they didn't get their share of it. Too funny!

For at least two years, following his battle with the press gallery in 2006, Harper has snubbed the front door of the Commons for Question Period. He established a covert route to get to the Chamber from his third-floor Centre Block office, ducking down through a narrow hallway behind the public gallery atop the west side of the Chamber, down a small staircase, and then scuttling into the government lobby through a back door across from the House Speaker's Chamber.

Arriving and leaving the Centre Block, his motorcade now pulls up beside a renovated House Speaker's entrance at the West side of the building. Harper whisks in and out as his sun-glassed Mountie bodyguards give cover.


I suspect this reporter has Harper envy, plus I think he wants cool shades like the Mounties. Given the juvenile slant to this article, is it any wonder that PM Harper would ignore the "Parliamentary Press Gallery". Notice how the press, gives the "Parliamentary Press Gallery" capitals? As if they are up there with the actual Parliament. Talk about delusions of lefties.

Harper's stubborn insistence on managing his scrums and news conferences through deputy communications director Dimitri Soudas appears to have worn down members of the press gallery executive, who up to a year ago were firing off letters of complaint almost monthly.

Gallery President Helene Buzzetti says the struggle came to be too draining, a distraction from work, and there has only been one tentative exchange with Harper's new communications director, John Williamson. Nothing has come of it so far.


Look you little babies, maybe Canadians are sick and tired of your endless whining, like this whole article. Maybe Canadians are not buying your papers because we are sick and tired of being told by reporters how we should think. The days of people getting one paper delivered to their home and watching only taxpayer funded CBC are over. We have lots of access to thousands of newspapers online, add blogs into the equation and your paper is dead unless you provide interesting unbiased articles. This article is a sad biased attempt to make our PM look like a control freak. We are not buying that garbage anymore. The polls show it.

The OPG needs to improve by reducing their bias and sloppy journalism. The PM understood that without their cooperation the OPG would eventually see the futility of dictating terms.

The Party and the leadership have demostrated discipline which adds to the narrative of good government.

I think whats rteally telling about the article is the POV of the columnist that the PM needs to stop talking over their heads. Maybe whats really happening is that the PM is talking directly to Canadians, and the media is still down in the gutter.

Quel analysis! Nice attempt at close reading there Hunter, but, sadly, no. YOU are the one who is deluded. The Parliamentary Press Gallery has been an institution of Canada's Parliament since 1867. The Parliamentary Press Gallery is a proper name. Capitalization of proper names is not a lefty delusion however much you might wish it to be so.

Is it just me, or does this sound like sniveling?

I read that article yesterday and filed it under "G".

What a crybaby

I think the PMSH looks like a walking, clapping wooden plank in that video. Lemme see, he leaves environmental talks early to go to India for some trade deals and we suddenly find him on a stage for an Indian TV show with Malibu Barbie, offering up "sixers" to the kind of dancing, gala arty people whose funding he loves to cut here in Canada. Oh Pinnochio what a happy lad since the day he lost his strings...

What I'm suggesting to you is you might like to fix up your tags. The spelling is wrong and it makes your blog seem stupider (as in more stupid) than necessary.

Southern Quebec said...

Spelling is for elitists, Mystereeoso! Hunter wants to show her sycophants that she is one of them...a little person. She does that every day by splitting infinitives, using run on sentences and generally saying Teh Stupid. A winning combination. It worked for Sarah Palin and it sort of works for Hunter! HA!

Guess you trolls missed the PMs meeting with business leaders in India. He also took many businessmen from Canada with him on this trip.
You guys/gals are just jealous you leader is MIA.

wilson said...

The PPG and msm have considered themselves king makers, for many decades.
Their 'we made you, we can break you' just is not working with PMSH.
He won the media war. ha

Not only are the Harper's having fun in India, the Harper Government is on the job,
getting things done!

More "outsourcing of jobs"?

SQ, a trade agreement will mean LOTS, and LOTS of sweet Alberta crude heading to India and China. YAHOO!

MariaS said...

Hunter - great post. Yahoo had a lot of pics showing the PM and wife in India and in China. We have to depend on the internet and non-Canadian media to see our Prime Minister's trips to foreign lands.
What a sad state of affairs.
