It’s Great To Be Canadian
It’s great to be Canadian this week…special thanks to the Green Party, the NDP and the Liberals.
Is The Media Really That Biased?

Welcome To The Harper Derangement Syndrome.
Search Google news for Stephen Harper and you’ll see exactly how biased the media is against him.
The top of the Goggle results start with this quote:
“Last night, Stephane, you panicked,” … “Your platform says we will spend billions of dollars we don’t have and go into deficit. (You) will raise taxes that will kill jobs”
Keep in mind that most people don’t read the story - just the headlines…
The media is actively campaigning against the Conservatives and Harper - giving the equivalent of millions of dollars of advertising to the other parties.
I expect this in Vancouver where we have two newspapers owned by the same company… but you’d think that there would be one newspaper in Canada that isn’t far left.
Which leads me to question:
What are the papers in Canada so afraid of that they would compromise their integrity this way?
Isn’t the media supposed to balance coverage of the parties?
The papers are partisan hacks, and lack the balls to objectively look at what’s best for the country.
The NDP will crush the economy, the Liberals would return Canada to cronyism while holding us back through socialism, and the Green Party would take us back a century.
The Conservatives will move Canada forward globally, get government out of legislating behavior, and open Canada for business… I don’t see that as a bad thing.
Or, is it because Harper is from the west?
Strange Bedfellows
The federal New Democrats have lost a candidate over a very public love of cannabis.
The NDP has confirmed that Dana Larsen submitted his resignation to the party’s provincial campaign manager.
Party spokesman Brad Lavigne said information came to light about “activities that were not in keeping with the policies and direction” of the party.
The NDP declined to elaborate on what those activities were, but allegations have arisen that Larsen, who had been running in West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast, is a member of the Vancouver Seed Bank. It sells seeds for coca plants along with seeds for marijuana and poppy plants.
Larsen was a candidate for the federal Marijuana Party in 2000 and a founding member of the B.C. Marijuana Party.
I am surprised on 2 counts…
One is that the NDP had a candidate from the Marijuana Party and then information “came to light”, and second is that it would matter here in BC. He was the the former editor of Cannabis Culture magazine.
His Myspace page is also very obvious.
Founder of Simon Fraser University’s League for Ethical Action on Drugs (1989-1993)
Founding editor of “The Hype” newsletter for IV drug users (1990-1994)
Founding Editor of Cannabis Culture Magazine (1993-2004)
Author of the Pot Puzzle Fun Book (2000)
Host of the Weedy Wednesday Smokefest on Pot-TV (1999-2002)
Publisher of Cannabis Kultur, the German edition of Cannabis Culture (2001-2003)
Canadian Marijuana Party Candidate, West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast (2000)
Founding member of BC Marijuana Party, and Candidate (2001)
Interim Leader of the BC Marijuana Party (2002)
Executive member of Sunshine Coast - Powell River NDP Constituency Association (2004-present)
Founder of eNDProhibition, the anti-prohibition wing of Canada’s NDP (2005)
Author of HAIRY POTHEAD AND THE MARIJUANA STONE (2007)
New Democratic Party candidate for ‘West Vancouver - Sunshine Coast”.
Didn’t think this would be an issue. It’s easier to buy pot in Vancouver than beer.
Apparently it is.
Check this out though - there’s more to the story…
Is Stephane Dion A Deadbeat?
The latest:
Stéphane Dion misses new debt payment deadline — again
For the second time, Stéphane Dion has failed to comply with an Elections Canada deadline to pay back his six-figure campaign debt remaining from his 2006 Liberal leadership campaign. Stéphane Dion has violated his agent’s written promise to creditors to pay back approximately $230,000 by September 3, 2008 - almost ten days ago.
“Stéphane Dion was supposed to pay off all his campaign debts on June 3, 2008,” noted Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Nepean-Carleton. “He failed and got a generous extension, under which he promised to pay off 1/3 of his debts by September 3, 2008. His agent even signed a written promise to the creditors to do so. But yesterday we learned that Dion failed – again. He has missed another deadline and this time he has broken a written commitment to his creditors.”
“If Stéphane Dion can’t keep his own written financial promises, why should Canadians trust him to manage Canada’s finances?” asked Poilievre.
“Stéphane Dion has mismanaged his own campaign finances. Canadians can’t afford a weak and risky Dion, in a time of global economic uncertainty.”
Nor can they afford his wacky plans.
Let’s see if Dion leads the Liberals to numbers below the NDP for the first time.
Pay up Steve.
Harper Is Cutting Taxes Again?!
Stephen Harper’s plan to cut the excise tax on diesel fuel is a smart move. The last time this was used in an election, the PC’s beat out the NDP in Saskatchewan for the first time.
A diesel fuel cut will help lower the price of everything we consume on a daily basis.
If you read the story, it’s playing out as a horrible plan.
My favorite comment from the article:
Mark
Let me get this straight. Mr. Harper has cut the GST and now has some plan to decrease my taxes further? He wants to get tough on crime, improve Canada’s soverignty, strengthen our (Liberal) gutted military, protect families…
May I vote now please?
Good thing Canadians hate taxes more that the media and Liberals love them.
Just Call The Election, Steve…
Prime Minister Stephen Harper seemed almost certain to call a general election next week to decide who will guide Canada.
It’s a great idea.
Although the election and candidates will be about as exciting as watching lawn bowling, holding an election alongside of the US election would let Canadians in on the fun.
We might be able to get rid of Gilles Duceppe, leader of the separatist opposition Bloc Quebecois. I always wonder what would happen if a traitor ran in the US…
Jack Layton, leader of the leftist New Democratic Party, also needs to go. With no possible chance of ever getting elected, it’s a wonder how the NDP has survived all these years. Note that the Riders have only won a Grey Cup when Conservatives have been in power in Sask.
Liberal leader Stephane Dion has proposed a tax grab similar to the National Energy Program they blessed us with in the last economic collapse. This is good for at least 10% more votes for Harper.
It’s time for change - as Barack Hussein Obama would say.
Best of all, it’s time to trounce the Liberals before their wacky carbon tax plan can see the light of day.
Here’s a video for more information on how the election will be decided:
