Quebec, Waking Up With A Hangover!

Sure, they got rid of the Bloc, which is excellent, but they now have to put up with opposition NDP MP's for the next 4 years. Basically, Quebec is now powerless, and they have only themselves to blame. They can join PEI and Newfoundland in the land of those the Conservatives forgot.

Quebec's worst nightmare is now a reality, a Conservative majority, without Quebec's support. They have even less representation in Parliament than they had last election with a minority Conservative government. The west is in, and Quebec is out. The west asked them to the prom, but they said no, we want a socialist government to feed our unending appetite for "goodies" at the taxpayers expense. Quebec should have woke up after election night with a huge hangover and a stranger in their bed.

How disrespectful of our democracy can you get when you elect representatives who never even set foot in their ridings. It's not only Vegas girl, there are others as well. Quebec obviously wanted to send a message to the rest of Canada. My take on their message is that they wanted nothing more to do with propping up the Bloc, but they also didn't want to join the rest of us. They wanted to remain unique.

Unique they are, they now have to go to their NDP MP's, if they can find them and understand them, for representation in our country. It is one thing to protest with your vote, it is a whole other thing to protest smartly. Quebec voted without actually thinking about the consequences, and now they have to live with what they voted for. Good luck Quebec, we will see you in 4 years.

Quebec voted for the NDP because they thought the Conservatives would only get a minority, and they didn't want the Liberals to take power in a coalition. Who would have thought a majority was possible without Quebec? HA! Now Quebec is stuck with no real representation in government. The Conservatives will make sure that Quebec is served, but what can they do with only 6 MP's from Quebec? Quebec has so screwed themselves. It looks good on them.

Meanwhile back in Alberta, the "for hire" signs are popping up all over the place. We need workers and if those lefties from Quebec and PEI refuse to come here to work, they should be made to pay for the foreign workers we will need to bring in, while they sit on their duffs and pull in EI bucks. I see lots of BC, Sask, Man and Ont license plates here, but can't remember the last time I have actually seen a Quebec or PEI plate. My husband was smart enough to leave PEI to come to Alberta because there were no opportunities in PEI. He is still here and doing better than any of his 6 siblings back in PEI.

Quebec went out on a binge on election night, and is now waking up with a hangover!

The Opposition Screwed Themselves!

At a time when all other economies are failing, Canadians understood the risk to Canada and elected a strong stable Conservative majority. Thank You Canadians!

I was blasted by my NDP office mate the other day about immigration and how reuniting families should be the priority. Today I was the only one predicting a Conservative majority. I should have laid down some bets with real money involved. Now, I can walk into work with head held high and thumb my nose at the "scared" voters. My office mate even brought up the old "abortion and gay marriage" scare tactic today. I am sure that works well with his NDP buddies, but it didn't sit well with me and obviously it didn't "scare" other Canadians.

God blessed Canada today with 4 years of stable government. PEI and Newfoundland should stop sending their kids here, they should send them to Liberal/NDP strongholds instead. Maybe they can go to Quebec to get their jobs! Oops, not many Atlantic voters speak French, so scratch that idea.

What makes me most thankful is that now, with a majority we will not see a carbon market anytime soon. With a majority, we can finally work together for Canada and Canadians in every province.

Let the "hidden agenda" out.... lowering taxes, less government, and provincial responsibilities respected. YIKES! I'm "scared"! NOT

The opposition called an election based on fake "contempt" charges, and they screwed themselves by electing a Conservative majority. Suck it up princesses. When Duceppe and Ignatieff both lose their seats, you have to think Canadians have made their choice, and their choice is PM Harper!

Layton Refuses To Answer Questions On Cap And Trade

Not quite, he just refuses to answer ANY questions when he is in Edmonton, but the effect is the same. PM Harper gets slammed by the media constantly because he only allows 5 questions from the media, now we find out Layton refuses to even TAKE any questions while he is in Edmonton. What you hiding Layton? Fess up buddy, or do you think us rednecked hillbillies don't understand the impact cap and trade would have on our economy in Alberta and in Canada?

"People are going to look at Jack Layton not only as a guy who is inexperienced, everyone starts off with no experience that is a given, but a guy who comes from a party who has financial economic policies who are not in the interest, certainly of Alberta as the very least, and very questionable," said Conservative candidate Laurie Hawn.

The Conservatives have pointed out when Jack Layton is in Alberta he says, ‘oil sands', but when he is in the east, he uses the activists term, ‘tar sands.'

Layton, lying out of both sides of his mouth. His rise in the polls is because of the Liberals tanking, but no media is mentioning that little gem. Funny how the Liberals have always said that people needed to vote for them to stop Harper, now the NDP are singing the same song.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, PM Harper, is steadily steering the Conservative ship towards a majority. I know it's kind of unexciting, but it's better than a Layton coalition government.

The polls are all over the place, I wonder if Avaaz is paying the pollsters? Who is getting money? University kids to post on media sites? Maybe SUN News can find out.

Ignore the white noise that is our media. PM Harper is going to PEI again, and from the comments it sounds like they are enjoying the attention. If only the people of PEI could understand that we dislike Wayne Easter because he supports the Canadian Wheat Board that suppresses the ability of our western farmers to compete. The Liberals threw our farmers into jail, some for over 6 months because they wanted to sell their wheat in Montana. How would PEI potato farmers like to be told that they can only sell their potatoes to Alberta and they couldn't sell them to McCains unless they sold them to Alberta first, then they could buy them back from Alberta at the higher market price?

PEI can deliver some Conservative seats, please help your western buddies! (I thank you for sending me my wonderful husband who left PEI in search of a better life, and has found it here in Alberta! He still needs yearly trips back to the Island, I suspect if we retire there it will solve his homesickness and satisfy my love of lobster.)

Newfoundland needs to be scared of the Layton surge, they will pander to Quebec and you can say goodbye to any hopes of your plans for power independence. The only party that will actually support you is the Conservatives. Think hard about your choices and your future.

I expect the media to be shouting about Layton not answering questions about cap and trade in Edmonton. Who is the dictator now? How will cap and trade, that ALL opposition parties support, impact us? I leave you will this video that answers that question H/T to Jan Webb over at BLY:


UPDATE: Linda Duncan doesn't care about the people in her riding:

Are there not oil-reliant jobs in her riding? “So what?” she says. “Does that mean the oilsands should develop unmitigated?”

Why Would You Vote Liberal?

As families meet around the table this Easter, I hope they talk about the two clear choices they have before them, a majority Conservative government or a coalition. This is not a vote for your favorite party type election, this is an election about Canada. This is an election about your kids, and grandchildren, it's about leaving them a country that is a leader in the world, not a piker. It's about rewarding those who work hard for the betterment of our country, and not supporting the separatist Bloc.

Canadians have been guided gently through an economic crisis that the US is still feeling. Our Prime Minister has been fighting not only the opposition but also the biased media everyday, every minute, since he has been elected. He has shown class and patience with an opposition that feels it is their duty to oppose everything his government proposes. He has given everything for this country, without asking for anything back. He has governed in fairness to all Canadians. He is now asking Canadians to give him acknowledgment for a job well done by giving him a majority. He has been open and candid about his hopes for a chance to govern for 4 quiet years, so he can continue to move Canada into the spotlight as one of the best countries in the world.

Are Canadians so petty that they will not vote Conservative because they fear a "hidden agenda" but think a coalition including the Bloc is okay? Are Canadians, supposedly one of the happiest nations in the world, so deceived by the biased media that they actually believe the slop they are selling?

What has PM Harper ever done to you, except govern this country better than anyone of us could hope to do? I am sickened by the "Harper Haters" who bash him constantly for petty little things like not showing everyone on TV that he actually ate the "wafer" at a funeral Mass. Sad little people with tiny little minds.

Our Prime Minister has made this country proud, he has taken a strong stance for Israel (loosing a seat at the security council because of his support for Israel), he has supported our military like no PM in recent history, and he has not bowed down to the separatists. He is asking for one small thing, a majority, so he can govern without fear of another election in 6 months.

As Canadians, proud of our country, solid hardworking citizens wanting the best for our children, we can not fail him now!

I am talking to Atlantic Canadians right now. You send your young people to the west because there are jobs here. That is how I met my husband, he came from PEI to Alberta over 25 years ago, and he is still here. Why would you vote Liberal?

Many people from Newfoundland come to work here and send their pay cheques home, improving the lives of all people living in Newfoundland. Why would you vote Liberal?

I ask you to consider what your lives would be like if the Liberals or NDP imposed a cap and trade on the oil industry. Alberta would be closed down once again, NEP II. Your jobs would disappear, and no more pay cheques would be arriving in Newfoundland or PEI. Think carefully about how you vote.

Ontario voters need to understand that if the oil industry is over regulated, they will move their operations to Venezuela and all those jobs manufacturing tiny little bearings or huge tires for the oil sands will dry up. Think carefully about how you vote.

Albertans are some of the staunchest supporters of Canada. Don't let us down!

Think carefully before you vote, Canada is too important to let petty, partisan politics destroy this country.

Calling Atlantic Canada, We Need You!

Atlantic Canada can determine whether the Conservatives get their majority or not. It is your time to shine! Don't let us down. We only need 9 seats, Newfoundland has 7 and PEI has 3. Being realistic, if we get 3 from Newfoundland and 1 more from PEI (please get rid of Wayne Easter, he makes PEI look bad), that only leaves 5 from the rest of Canada. We are working hard in Edmonton to take back the only NDP riding in Alberta, so there is 1 more, leaving 4 to go.

PEI voters showed up to support PM Harper and the Conservatives. I don't know what the media is going on about when they say Harper is angry, watch this and see him, at ease and having fun.



Quebec is moving towards the Conservatives, so even if we only hold the seats we have there now, it's a win. Ontario is a key province, and something I found really interesting was this poll result:

Vancouver 41.6% CPC 29.0% LPC
Calgary 52.7% CPC 22.3% LPC
Toronto 40.9% CPC 34.8% LPC
Ottawa 38.4% CPC 43.8% LPC
Montreal 16.2% CPC 25.9% LPC

Toronto is at 40.9% supporting the Conservatives, and only 34.9% for the Liberals! THAT IS HUGE! Think about it, the only Liberal strongholds left are Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. Vancouver is at 41.6% Conservative to 29% Liberal...OUCH! The only hope left for the Liberals is Montreal, and even that is shaky. Funny how the media missed those little details! HA!

I know the polling pundits are saying that Ontario and BC are critical, and they are, but Atlantic Canada can deliver a Conservative majority if they want to, and I hope they do.

I remember the 2006 election. It was the first time I volunteered and got involved in the actual election, I was ticked at the Liberals for stealing our money. This election is starting to feel the same way, but this time I am ticked that the opposition think they can take over the government without winning the election. It might be legal, but it stinks to high heaven.

This time PM Harper is openly asking for a majority, and Canada needs to get behind him, starting with Atlantic Canada, flowing to Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, BC, and the Territories. The wave of support starts in the Atlantic, on election day send us here on the prairies a message, send us the majority the PM Harper deserves. We will be happy if our votes end up being a "Me Too" vote!

This is not a media election, even though they are trying their hardest to get us to vote for the Liberal coalition. This is an election for Canadians, by Canadians. This is an election where we decide whether we want a stable majority Conservative government, or a coalition government ruled by the losers.

It starts with Atlantic Canada, don't let us down, we have faith in you.

And Danny Boy Is Strangely Silent!

I'm puzzled why this dictator would even know where Newfoundland is, let alone want to pitch his tent there for a night. Thankfully he has changed his plans.

Moammar Gadhafi cancels Canada visit

Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi has cancelled a trip to Canada that had been scheduled for next week, according to media reports.

Gadhafi had planned the stop-over in St. John's, N.L., on his way home from his speech to the United Nations General Assembly last Wednesday, a wide-ranging rant that lasted more than 90 minutes.

The Canadian Press says the African strongman was planning to stay in the city early next week, and local officials were prepping to put up one of the leader's famed Bedouin tents.


Hey, Gadhafi, come pitch your tent in February, that would be fun.

Why did Gadhafi want to stop over in Newfoundland? Why is Danny, big mouth so silent now? Not one press release from Danny about the visit. No ranting from him about terrorists. Not a single word from the egomaniac who loves to get face time on TV.

Did Danny invite Gadhafi because of oil? Let me be clear, this is only supposition, I have no facts to support my opinion. I would hate for Danny to start an ABHunter campaign against me.

Still, why the silence from loud mouth Danny? OIL? Or has the news media forgotten about Danny now that he doesn't matter on the national level, after all, Newfoundland has no government MP's, so the media doesn't care about them anymore.

Newfoundland and Labrador government officials say no one from the province will welcome Gadhafi.

"We don't have any comment, and no provincial officials will be meeting with him," an official in Premier Danny William's office told CBC News on Thursday.


Come on, where is Danny, I love attention Williams? Why is he hiding? He was vocal enough during the last election, so vocal that Newfoundland has no representation in the current government because of his ABC campaign. Why has Danny gone silent now?

Okay, I Can't Help Myself!!

I'VE GONE NATIONAL!!! Okay, okay, so it's a link to my site from the National Post, but they are my favorite national paper.... now! HA!

Seriously, I am glad that Kelly McParland has brought this issue to the forefront. Danny can campaign all he wants against PM Harper, but when he starts using his power as a Premier to intimidate voters and candidates, he has gone too far.

Thank you Kelly McParland, for linking to my site, but mainly for understanding that this is an issue that needs to be addressed in the media. This is not just an, oh well that's Danny, issue. We lived with Ralph Klein for years, and he was as outspoken and popular as Williams, but he never tried to railroad us to vote Conservative. He respected us more than that, and we returned the respect with our votes for him.

Most importantly Klein never deliberately did anything to hurt Alberta when he was Premier, but that is what Williams is doing, he is ignoring the effects a green shift would have on his province to play petty politics. Shame on you Williams.

Campaign Of Intimidation Part 2

If Robert Fife from CTV wasn't persuasive enough, here is a former Fisheries Minister from Newfoundland, who pretty much agrees that intimidation is happening in Newfoundland. Big story here in Canada!!! NOT! Didn't I say what that would indicate in my last post?

Media bias is so bad that they are even shutting their own reporters up! This is still Canada isn't it, or have we all somehow moved to Cuba?

Listen to what Jim Morgan a former Fisheries Minister has to say about what has been going on in Newfoundland.



Hello Elections Canada, if you are investigating a vote trading scheme on Facebook, could you maybe also look into these even more serious allegations of intimidation? Just asking. Has Canada become a third world country while I was pickling my beets today?
