Conservatives press government over Strong
Foreign Affairs critic Stockwell Day is demanding answers about the relationship between Prime Minister Paul Martin and Maurice Strong. According to a Conservative Party press release:
In question period yesterday Stockwell Day, Official Opposition Foreign Affairs Critic, asked "Mr. Speaker, Maurice Strong, long time Liberal, long time mentor of the Prime Minister, long time business associate of the Prime Minister and companies such as Canada Steamship Lines and Cordex, has suddenly resigned his post at the United Nations. To date the government has refused to stand up and answer questions about the Iraqi oil for food scandal at the United Nations. Canadians are wondering why the Prime Minister will not just stand up in his place and state categorically that there has been no implication of Canadians or Canadian companies in the UN oil for food program. Where does this all end? Why will he not just stand up?"
"We want to presume innocence on these matters," said Day. "However the government's peculiar silence only leaves the questions hanging in the air"
I'm sure the implied response by the government was (choose two of four) that the Conservatives will: privatize healthcare, return women to the back-alley, send gays to the gulag, pollute our streams. But the fact remains (to borrow from Martin from the Liberal convention last month): Question Asked, Question Unanswered.

Strong is their Achilles heel. With him under attack, Martin and the Criminal Party will do anything to assault Harper to stay in power.
If Harper is reading this, I implore you to stick to your guns, expect them to play dirty, and attack their record without mercy. Remember, it's for our jobs.

How has this nutjob come to acquire so much political influence and only now pop up on the radar?

One has to wonder why Canada's mainstream media is not asking those very interesting questions that Stockwell Day asked about Canada and the UN Oilcsam.
Perhaps the questions and answers must come through our American friends at FOX News . . . .

Strong a nutjob.Yes/no.
This week PM Payola Martin , on Earth Day, sat with a class of children at a Catholic elementary school in Ottawa. See Ottawa Citizen. Was Martin pushing Catholic dogma? No. He was pushing Strong's Earth Day dogma. Gaia, the earth Goddess; a pagan goddess being worshipped in a Catholic school, in Ottawa, capital of Canada by the PM of Canada.
Strong is an avowed Communist & anti-Christian with a mission to destroy Western civilization. His religion is: Communism.
Strong, a nut job? Some nut job.

maz2 is right, and with all the ties between Strong and PM Dithers, what is Dithers ultimate goal.
If there was a genuine concern for earth/christian agenda, were did this money go:

this just feels too much like DU... but then again, people are actually admitting to these things and being implicated by lots of investigations that really had rather preferred to not have discovered this stuff.
are we all wearing tin foil hats? can they really be this insanely corrupt? i've been vociferously opposing them for a while, but seriously this is ridiculous.

Ridiculous but real; factual not fantasy. This is the New Age at work.
Maurice Strong & The Agenda
Includes: Gorbachev-- yes, Mikhail-- Radical-left Enlightenment & more . Here is where the moonbat left originated. Too true; can't be true? You decide.

Strong & Castro
"Castro's Strong friend in U.N. shares socialist (read communist) agenda, disdain (read hatred) for industrialized nations ( Communist Manifesto: "Workers of the world, unite, cast off your chains...". Strong from Canada; teacher/mentor/paypal of Payola Martin.
http://www.cubanet.org/CNews/y00/may00/25e10.htm
And now Layton & Martin unite.

"Martin, who was hired by Strong, got his start in business from the same source, and because of it ended up as the owner of Canada Steamship Lines. While Strong, now Martin’s senior advisor in the House of Commons is Martin’s long time mentor, the duo is so close that the men are, in some speculative quarters, alleged but unproven half brothers."

Half-brothers? I would think it more likely that Strong is his father.
