Holy Jesus, the burning stupid.


Via Buckdog, we are reminded just how outrageously, horrifically, fucking stupid these people are:

"I am a Canadian citizen standing up for democracy. I cannot understand this -- seven weeks ago, we went to the polls and we duly elected Prime Minister Harper."

Debbie Jodoin (Assistant to Saskatchewan Conservative MP Rob Clarke and one of the organizers of the Ottawa Pro-Harper demonstration on Saturday)

No, Ms. Jodoin, you shrieking imbecile, we didn't, so let me explain this one more time to a member of the Dumb-as-Shit Retarded Party of Canada, even though I'm convinced it will have no effect whatsoever:

Canadians do not elect the Prime Minister. They don't. When we have a federal election, a choice for PM is nowhere to be found on the ballot. It just isn't. If you don't believe me, go and check.

We elect Members of Parliament. 308 of them. And those people get to decide who the Prime Minister will be.

Are we clear on this, Ms. Jodoin? Seriously, what part of that do you still not get?

Janice McKinnon was interviewed by Rex Murphy on Cross Country Check-up using bloody Harper speaking points.

Rex Murphy also agreed with blatant lies that Harper supporters are spreading over call-in shows like a bad rash.

The one that really kills me is that the CPC were conciliatory after they pushed the opposition parties too far and withdrew the offensive economic update. The PR machine is in full force manufacturing truths.

Flaherty first withdrew the election finance subsidy off the table (trying desperately to make it look like the coalition and Bloc were only looking out to save their own hides) and when they didn't bite, they said they would remove the offensive curtailment of the public service union's right to strike. Never did they remove from their statement the pay equity proposal or the provision to sell off crown assets.

The bottom line is the the coalition and Bloc MPs stated that they were willing to work with the Harper government if he introduced an economic stimulus package immediately. Harper's response was to move the budget date from March to late January. Big freaking whoop!

This more "Not A Leader" smear campaigning that the CPC are undertaking with the corporate media, and even some so-called progressive blogs, falling in line to support outright lies and misconceptions.

French for the bridge across the aisle has been stolen by the CPC:-)

The following is the letter sent by Stephen Harper to Adrienne Clarkson:

September 9, 2004

Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., C.D.
Governor General
Rideau Hall
1 Sussex Drive
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1

Excellency,

As leaders of the opposition parties, we are well aware that, given the
Liberal minority government, you could be asked by the Prime Minister
to dissolve the 38th Parliament at any time should the House of Commons
fail to support some part of the government’s program.

We respectfully point out that the opposition parties, who together
constitute a majority in the House, have been in close consultation. We
believe that, should a request for dissolution arise this should give
you cause, as constitutional practice has determined, to consult the
opposition leaders and consider all of your options before exercising
your constitutional authority.

Your attention to this matter is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.
Leader of the Opposition
Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada

Gilles Duceppe, M.P.
Leader of the Bloc Quebecois

Jack Layton, M.P.
Leader of the New Democratic Party

That Rex Murphy! Hound of the liberal media! Man's the closest thing we've got to Bill O'Reilly.

In fact, I have no idea why the CPC hate the CBC so much. Michael Enright was moderating a debate on climate change the other day, and his comments strongly suggested he's a skeptic.

WV= "minsin"
Newspeak for the radical new Conservative policy of lying as little as possible--to be implemented on the advent of a Harper majority or when hell freezes over, whichever comes.
