We are told that ample vaccine is available for those people of high risk. Yet, those who are getting seriously ill and dying are not high risk cases, but perfectly healthy people. That's what's caused the surge in demand. They are hearing one thing from the feds, but seeing quite another on the ground. That is what is scaring people and fueling a great deal of distrust of the government.
The Liberals are using H1N1 to scare people. Can they get any lower, using people's fear of this flu to try and score political points?
The attached article "The Broken Contract" was written by our leader Michael Ignatieff in response to the Bush government's utter failure to rise to the obvious challenge to public security, order and health presented by Hurricane Katrina. Is the H1N1 pandemic the "Hurricane Katrina" of our own laissez-faire, fend for yourself government? Read the attached. Reflect on the analogous situation we face. Consider the priorities and values that underlie our own government's response to the threat to public health that this pandemic represents. Recognize that Mr. Harper's government has utterly failed to stand with Canadians and for Canadians in a matter of clear and unequivocal public duty.
Whatever happens, let us fervently hope and pray that the threat to general health and the risk of loss of life flowing from this government's incredible irresponsibility is contained to the absolute minimum.
Sick little puppies, fear mongering in the extreme. Are there any adults running the Liberal clown show? Written by our (dear) leader Iffy, sounds kind of creepy. Yes master, we will follow you no matter what you have said about torture in the past. Why didn't he mention the Bush response to 9/11? Why Katrina? Guess he is just parroting his American cousins.
SCHIEFFER: What do you do to correct this kind of thing? You’re told one thing, you’d have so much and you didn’t. These are the kinds of things we heard after Katrina during a previous administration.
Not a single original idea in any Liberal head.
In my mailbox I found a Liberal 10 percenter, yapping about the senate. Here in Alberta we have elected Senators, not like in Ontario. Ontario Liberal Alan Tonks picked the wrong issue to hit us Albertans with, clearly he has no understanding of what makes us tick. The desperation is clearly taking over the Liberals. They are floundering with no leadership and throwing everything at the voters hoping something will stick. Here is the 10 percenter:
1. Did Stephen Harper deceive Canadians when he said he would cease patronage appointments to the Senate?
I'm trying to remember when he said that, maybe Tonks could give us a reference to that statement? As far as I recollect, PM Harper said he wanted an elected Senate, and he would not appoint any new Senators until the provinces elected Senators, only Alberta has done so to date. Hey, Liberal MP Tonks, get yourself a list of good Senator candidates, and maybe a Liberal will get a place in the Senate.
2. Is Stephen Harper justified in appointing a string of Conservative cronies to the Senate after saying he wouldn't do so?
Hello Tonks, you sent this to Albertans, do you really know how mad we still are about Mitchell being given a Senate seat over all our elected Senators in Waiting? A failed Liberal leader in Alberta got a seat in the Senate over the people we had voted for, it was a disgrace and he is there until 2026 and the people of Alberta have no way of getting rid of him or any other Liberal appointments. Suck it up Tonks, PM Harper is doing what he needs to do to balance the Senate.
3. Who do you trust more to restore integrity to government? Michael Ignatieff and the Liberals or Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.
Ha, that is just too funny, Liberals and integrity? Is Tonks so out of touch with Canadians that he doesn't understand that we voted the Liberals OUT because they had no integrity.
I suggest you respond to his 10 percenter in a very polite manner at the on-line address supplied
