One of my Ottawa Operatives tells me there is a joke going around Ottawa about Stephen Harper's new nickname.

“They are calling him 'shrub',” says my contact. “A small Bush.”

Okay, okay....not exactly a screamer, but neat just the same, for the man who is busily trying to adapt the theory of the Imperial Presidency to the Presidential Prime Ministership.

Indeed, every time Prime Minister Stephen Harper opens his mouth or makes another move, it is as though his American Idol is speaking in his ear.

Which is to say, the truth cannot be found in anything the government of Stephen Harper does or says.

When Mr. Harper says he is protecting loved ones from the evil and relentless media by not allowing media coverage of the body bags as they come back from Afghanistan, he is lying. The only people he is trying to protect are Stephen Harper and the politicians of the Conservative party — protecting them from a Canadian public which just might start asking tough questions about the reason Canadians are being killed fighting a nonsensical war launched by his good buddy Mr. Bush.

And when Mr. Harper desecrates the memory of those Canadians who are killed and dismembered on behalf of Mr. Bush in the rough and rocky terrain of Afghanistan, he does so only so that we are not exposed to visible reminders of this feckless national adventure.

Indeed, there is only one reason for every action and every lie — the election of a majority Conservative government next spring.

I've read and listened to much talk about the recent budget. I have digested the learned insight, analysis and opinion — is it a conservative budget? Is it too conservative? Is it not conservative enough?

There is one simple and obvious answer — all of the above, because it is a totally political budget designed to propel the election of a majority Conservative government.

There is one caveat — that the majority Conservative government be elected before enough Canadians realize they have been had.

That would explain a lot.

Whose War?

A neoconservative clique seeks to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interest.


The War Party may have gotten its war. But it has also gotten something it did not bargain for. Its membership lists and associations have been exposed and its motives challenged. In a rare moment in U.S. journalism, Tim Russert put this question directly to Richard Perle: “Can you assure American viewers ... that we’re in this situation against Saddam Hussein and his removal for American security interests? And what would be the link in terms of Israel?”

Suddenly, the Israeli connection is on the table, and the War Party is not amused. Finding themselves in an unanticipated firefight, our neoconservative friends are doing what comes naturally, seeking student deferments from political combat by claiming the status of a persecuted minority group. People who claim to be writing the foreign policy of the world superpower, one would think, would be a little more manly in the schoolyard of politics. Not so.

Former Wall Street Journal editor Max Boot kicked off the campaign. When these “Buchananites toss around ‘neoconservative’—and cite names like Wolfowitz and Cohen—it sometimes sounds as if what they really mean is ‘Jewish conservative.’” Yet Boot readily concedes that a passionate attachment to Israel is a “key tenet of neoconservatism.” He also claims that the National Security Strategy of President Bush “sounds as if it could have come straight out from the pages of Commentary magazine, the neocon bible.” (For the uninitiated, Commentary, the bible in which Boot seeks divine guidance, is the monthly of the American Jewish Committee.)

When the self-described "rabble" say things like this about the PM it really hits you that, after a long Liberal darkness, the good guys have finally taken this country back :D

Now what the heck is the point of smearing the current adminstration in Washington with a brush wielded by a Neandrathal like pat Bucannon? My lord, while I oppose Bush and his policies even a liberal like myself has to admit that he is infinitely perferable to someone like Pat.

You American are a little slower to clue in to World Events than us Americans. I live in America too, as do Mexicans, Brazilians and Columbians to name a few. Mabye you should call your country Murica to honour the crooked puppet. I actaully think shrub is funny. I cringed until I heard it was a minority government. I actaully don't mind the proposed legislation, although I would be very scared if Harper had more power. He kind of reminds me of a Richie Cunning ham type. I bet he was the guy that cuddled with the sluts after everyone else was done fucking them.

This post takes the cake for the biggest hunk of crap ever posted, many claims no facts or supporting evidence.

every time Prime Minister Stephen Harper opens his mouth or makes another move, it is as though his American Idol is speaking in his ear.. Such as...??? Yeah, Cretien was a supurb speaker...idiot...yes both of you.

When Mr. Harper says he is protecting loved ones from the evil and relentless media by not allowing media coverage of the body bags as they come back from Afghanistan, he is lying.

About what?? The media has no need to be there to catch "money shots" of the family and their sorrow. Their (the medias) current position, outside the gates taking shots from the distance is just fine. If you are that concerned about your supposed rights to "remember", go to the funerals. By the way, how many have you been to? What did you do last Remembrance day? Did you worry about the funeral of Capt Selby (Dec 04 - Snowbird pilot)? Why didn't you raise concerns when the media didn't show up at his funeral? Idiot.


The only people he is trying to protect are Stephen Harper and the politicians of the Conservative party — protecting them from a Canadian public which just might start asking tough questions about the reason Canadians are being killed fighting a nonsensical war launched by his good buddy Mr. Bush.
...and FULLY supported by his idiot buddy Cretien and his pack of Liberals...who sent the CF to Afghanistan in the first place!

Sort your facts out and come back with an intelligent post instead of this crap.

Fibs vs Cons

Liberal:

-elitist
-culture of entitlement
-corrupt
-promise the moon, then break the promises
-bow down to special interest groups
-soft on crime

and now we have the Conservatives.... give them 13 years in power and this Country will be MUCH better off... (I bet it will not even take that long). The public is slowly waking up & coming to it's senses... with any luck the next election will result in a Conservative majority.
