Mediagate Or NOT!

As predictable as gas prices rising before a long weekend, we get mediagate! We get the media shrills yapping about how PM Harper's Conservative government is reducing democracy. Every time the polls show Canadians supporting the Conservatives, we get a new "gate", I guess this one will be called the Odagate or democracygate, or Harpergate, or... the list is endless.

How about we call it mediagate? It makes perfect sense to me, because it is the media that is shouting about all these "gates". It is the media making a "NOT" into an international issue, an "I don't know" into a RCMP mission, or a disagreement with a bureaucrats recommendation into a full blown inquiry. Take a pill all you lefties. Seriously, you are out of control, without direction, and nobody really cares about what "gate" you like this week. You have cried wolf too often, nobody is listening to you anymore.

Government secrecy hampering MPs' jobs: Page

Parliament is being asked to vote on a major crime bill without a clear idea of how much it could cost taxpayers, Canada's budget watchdog said Tuesday.

The Conservative government's secrecy is hampering parliamentarians' ability to evaluate new legislation, Kevin Page told a House of Commons committee.

He said MPs are losing their ability to perform their constitutionally mandated jobs because of the lack of information available about the cost of new bills.

Oh, the media's darling, never fails to disappoint. He gives the lefties wet dreams of a rise to power, on his very words, they are like music to their ears. Page is upset because HE can't get his grubby little hands on the government budget plans. Poor baby. Poor media, no budget leaks. HA.

One suspects this is because the decision to deny Kairos funding was taken neither by CIDA bureaucrats nor the Minister. This one has the imprimatur of the PMO all over it.

......

Not that the Harper government has launched the kind of all-out assault on democracy that his critics charge. But there has been a gradual erosion of parliamentary democracy under the Conservatives that the Stephen Harper of six years would have decried.

This journalist should have also pointed out that this is a minority government and the opposition can take it down any time they want. If democracy is at such a risk because the government cut some funding to a religious group (funny how the left is supporting a religious group now), let the opposition do their job, and vote non-confidence in this government. Instead they bleat about a word, and cry to the voting gods to make this "scandal" THE "scandal" that will vault them back into power. If that fails, they always have the fallback position of the coalition! What true and honest gems these parties are against a Minister, who wrote, NOT on a request for 7 million dollars.

Too Tired To Think!

I was busy all day; planting flowers, making potato salad, and doing some work with the puppy, so this will be a short post, as I am bone tired.

I think PM Harper is doing an excellent job of representing our country. I have a deep respect for his ability to unite the right and make it work. (and to my trolls, NO that does not mean I am sexually attracted to him, idiots) The left is babbling on about the "religious" right take over of the PMO. Bad Christians, you have morals, and therefore can not have a voice.

I have never gone over to some lefties blog and told them what they should believe. I could care less what they believe, unless it impacts me and my family. I can not understand why lefties feel compelled to come to Conservative blogs and try to "straighten" our thinking out. Why do they bother if we are so wrong?

As summer approaches, the media will have nothing to write about on the political scene, except PM Harper and the G8/G20. I wonder what stupid scandal the Liberals will come up with to take any positive attention away from the Conservatives. Hey Conservative MP's, be extra careful now, the Liberal media are on a hunt for some 30 year old video of you drinking a beer.

With the media losing their power, and the lefties wondering around bumping into each other, I predict next election gives the Conservatives a majority. Voters are not as dumb as the MSM and lefties think they are, so bring it on, I'm getting bored with faux scandals, and opposition incompetence. Wait until the fall though, our summers are way too short to be wasting them going door knocking.

PM Harper, an outstanding political mind and principled family man. We are very lucky for his leadership right now, look at Greece, or Quebec and you can see where we might have been without Preston Manning and now, PM Harper.
