Dirty Oil? Nope, Dirty PC Election.

It's bad enough having to listen to Red Ali yapping about how she talked to "international" nobodies, she is so arrogant, she thinks that is going to impress us, but now we have unions interfering with the election. I told you in an earlier post about receiving a very biased robocall from the Alberta Federation of Labour, and it appears I am not the only one! Contact Elections Alberta and complain.You know if this was the lefties they would already be protesting in front of the Legislature.

The Alberta Federation of Labour is being investigated by Elections Alberta after conducting a provincial telephone poll decrying the Wildrose Party.
In a robocall telephone poll that called 1.54 million Albertans from April 17 to April 18, the federation asked “do you support or do you oppose the Wildrose plan to use taxpayer money to subsidize corporate, for-profit health care?”
If someone misses the call, a taped message is left by AFL President Gil McGowan pleading with conservative-minded voters that “if you care about medicare, Wildrose is not the answer.”
Elections Alberta says it has received numerous complaints against the AFL about the calls.
And the Wildrose Party is alleging the poll breaks laws that require third-party advertisers to be registered with Elections Alberta. Violators of the law can face fines of up to $100,000 in court.
“We have opened a file and will determine if the AFL was in compliance or not in compliance,” said Drew Westwater, a spokesman with Elections Alberta.
I also received another call tonight, but my husband answered it so I do not know who it was from. It asked two questions, which leader is the best, and what candidate will you vote for. The really sneaky thing they did was change the order of the button you pressed.

Which party leader do you support:

1 = Liberal, 2= NDP, 3= PC 4= Wildrose

Which candidate will you vote for?

2 = Liberal, 3= NDP, 4= PC, 5= Wildrose

Do you see what they did? They made Wildrose  number 4 for your response to the first question, and then made the PC's number 4 for your response to the second question.

If other people are like me, they put their finger on the 4 button so that they can answer Wildrose for all of the questions asked. Forum surveyed me earlier this week and asked me about 10 questions where number 4 was always Wildrose. Were they just conditioning me? I don't know if this was a Forum poll, because hubby didn't pay attention to who was calling.

What this will do, for those who aren't such survey wonks as me, is make sure that those who answered Wildrose on the first question, will likely have answered PC on the second question. Biased poll taking, again!

On top of all the biased polls here in Alberta, we also have this little gem:

The local Wildrose office was buzzing Thursday, as candidates Ethane Jarvis and Todd Loewen worked damage control on reports of thousands of ‘robo-call’-type announcements making their way through the region.
Loewen and Jarvis claim the calls, which some residents receive up to seven times per day, are not authorized by the Wildrose Party.
Supportive automated phone calls were made by the candidates on April 13, as well as April 16. Jarvis suspects the perpetrator recorded the message and is now spamming residents with phone calls.
“Those (four) numbers have been pushing out calls in obscene amounts,” said Jarvis. “They are fraudulent calls that are upsetting people.”
The Wildrose office in Grande Prairie has made calls to the RCMP, Elections Alberta and the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to investigate, but a full investigation cannot be completed until after the election on Monday.
The campaign office has traced two of the four numbers to businesses in Calgary, but Jarvis is unsure if the companies in question are behind the phone calls.
Notice that nothing can be done about it until after the election? Well Elections Alberta could send out a message to voters that this is happening, and it is not Wildrose doing it! Rumours are that the PC campaigne is being run from Toronto. This would make sense because no true Albertan would use smears like we have seen this election.  Our electoral system is being hi-jacked by immature babies who do not like it if they don't get their own way.

If you can stand to go over to the CBC, watch Danielle get booed by the econuts, and hold her own! It's awesome. Watch the three stooges repeating the eco-mantra. This alone should guarantee Danielle a majority!

Oversight? "Dirty" RoboCall More Like It!

With no evidence at all, the Conservative Party has been found guilty by the opposition parties and especially the media. This is a media driven "scandal". Too bad it bit them in the butt.

Liberal MP Frank Valeriote says it was an "oversight" that his party did not identify that it was behind an anti-Conservative robocall used during the last federal election Guelph, Ont.
The riding is already the focus of an Elections Canada probe into opposition accusations that the Tories used automated messages to direct voters to the wrong polling stations. The Conservatives deny the accusations.
Now the Liberals are left to explain the automated message, or robocall, that was critical of Conservative candidate Marty Burke.
Audio of the recording surfaced Friday night.
The recording does not state that it came from the Liberal Party or from Valeriote's campaign. The Elections Act requires parties or candidates to identify themselves in campaign ads.
 I bet they take a much quieter view of the goings on now that the Liberal party has been found to make robocalls to "strategically" vote against Conservatives. 

CTV has found an activist to comment on this article, he is arranging the Lethbridge rally for tomorrow. So, it appears that CTV is more interested in gossip, as they state themselves:

than the facts.  Look at his facebook page. He's an artist and an Occupy supporter! Guess he has lots of time to arrange protests in between writing startling bad poetry. Are the taxpayers paying for his poetry?

If Elections Canada does nothing about this "dirty" trick by the Liberals, they should be replaced with people who are unbiased. We are watching you Elections Canada, very, very closely. Do not expect another free ride like the in and out win. Your days of leaking documents to the Liberal CBC are over. You do NOT have any power over we the voters.

Someone needs to call an inquiry into Elections Canada, because something stinks to high heaven, and it appears to be emanating from the EC offices, or should that be orifices?

A Leg, Is A Leg, Is NOT A Leg!

No adults are currently operating the governments or the opposition in our country, and I mean federally, provincially, and municipally. All levels of government are currently dysfunctional.

The most dysfunctional characters in this all, are the media. They were SO sure last election that they could influence the results, that Elections Canada should be investigating them for voter fraud. EC is too busy right now leaking details of their investigations into Conservatives to be bothered with anything else. Robocalls pale beside the anti-Conservative venom that our media spewed before, during and after the election.

The left based media just might have been responsible for getting PM Harper his majority, and decimating the Liberals. They were the prime movers of voters in Quebec by glorifying Jack Layton, hoping that the Liberals would take Ontario and the NDP would take Quebec, allowing them to form a coalition to govern Canada.

It didn't work, so now, in their tiny little Liberal lefty brains, they think continuing to try for the next fake-gate is going to work this time, because the only ones they are listening to are those that think just like them. Alinsky rules. Notice how fast any mention of the Liberals being in the wrong for personally attacking Toews disappeared, do we even know what the guy looked like? Media thinks they matter. If you shut them off and watch the cooking channel, you don't even know what is going on politically. It's refreshing.

Speaking of refreshing, I think this is hilarious, much preferable to the low level that many media people are stooping to these days in regards to politics, and lately I must include the National Post.

Who's leg is that? 


Angelina Jolie's right leg is as relevant as those robocalls. The left are vacant headed people who see no more point to their lives, then the worship of some women's leg.
