Jason Kenney for Freedom
The MultiCulti Sec State delivers a rhetorical two-by-four to the Shawinigan Sidewinder:
"I think it reconfirms that Mr. Chrétien and the Liberals have always pursued a policy in this area calculated to their own personal financial interests and those of rich and powerful friends . . . It's no mistake that Mr. Chrétien was calculating his retirement income in his relations in this area"
Ouch!

A long overdue and well deserved whack!

Good on Jason Kenney! This should be good for a few hundred thousand votes for the CPC as they begin to expose the dark, ugly, corrupt underbelly of the Librano$ who robbed the Canadian public blind while lavishly feathering their own, personal nests and bank accounts through their connections with Power Corp/Total/Elf/Fina/Kyoto/China.
Librano leaders?
The two terms are mutually exclusive. Under Trudeau, Chretien, and Martin, political sleaze was taken to a new low. Now, the Librano$ want to further their low-down, money-skimming schemes by using Bob Rae, whose brother, John is a VP at Power Corp.
The stench can't be covered up any longer. It's time for a Parliamentary investigation into the tentacles the Liberal Puppet Masters over at Power Corp have wrapped around too many Librano money-making negotiations that have been going on with China for too long.
Canadians need to know how many are involved and who they are. After all, we've been paying the bills for years with absolutely no benefit to us.
Enough already.

bath, I agree but it seems to me that those who make a wee bit of effort to check things out are aware. I fear that far too many Canadians are either indifferent or too lazy to bother and simply accept what MSM say.

The Media is one major problem for Conservatives, they can't simply give facts without their biased Liberal views. Besides that there's still the myth that liberals are the friends of the immigrants and the "Little Guy".
Chretien is running scared for his old party and the shambles it's in so we can expect more outbursts.
Kenney has baited him, watch for the dirt to fly because Jean has no class.
What Kenney stated is apparent for all to see, there's no denying it, any attempt to do so will compound their problems.
Have to agree there are many who don't read past headlines and even headlines are misleading.

Don't worry Liz, the Conservatives have found a way to handle the socialist media to their advantage - They've grown the government and implemented the tenets of socialism. Surprise!!!

Has Paul Martin said anything about his ol' buddy Mo Strong? If he hasn't then he's smart.

"I fear that far too many Canadians are either indifferent or too lazy to bother and simply accept what MSM say."
What about too intelligent ?
Alain,
It's a game in wich every countries are playing.
It's called world's economy and if you don't stay focussed, you die.
Forget Chrétien: he's a crook and pollitically, he was a bastrd. One could argue for a week but at the end, the facts would still remains that he's a crook and that politically, he was bastard.
This said, refusing to get in line to do business with China is stupid. In China, you need the constant work of officials and businessmen to be considered by this "communist" regime. Do you know how it's hard to built any kind of business relationship there ?
We were pretty high in their partnership priorities lately and now, Thanks to the good work of the Canadian Religious Right that is a code name for government, we're about to be sent at the back of the line. B-R-A-V-O.

Interesting Marc that for you anyone with any moral compass is part of your fictitious "Canadian Religious Right".
Posted by: Alain | 2008-08-20 1:52:26 PM
God G*d, Marc. You're saying that Chretien was a crook, that he did business with China, and because it's the new up and coming country to trade with, our government should forego all of their ethical and moral scruples in order to "connect" with corrupt businessmen in China?
If only the "Canadian Religious Right" has any moral scruples, Canada's in BIG TROUBLE. And you, Marc, are in big trouble if you think that making decisions based on moral and ethical grounds is inconsequential.
Why is it so difficult to build "any kind of business relationship there"? If it's because you have to be corrupt and turn a blind eye to their corruption, then I applaud PMSH and his government for preserving the honour of this country.
Money's not everything. And, BTW, most things made in China are junk. How about the soya sauce made with human hair? Or the pet food laced with melamine?
You're welcome to it, Marc. Why don't you move to a country that has a booming trade with China? You might be happier.

Alain,
We've seen the "moral compass" of the Religious Right in Canada and the U.S. for years now and its ugly.
I'm always in shock when the right use terms like "moral compass" in describing the politics of other countries. We do and will keep doing business with coutries that do attrocities and we've done and keep doing so ourselves. If it's not directly, we're participating anyway.
If we follow your logic, France should stop doing business with us because we're having a small part of our economy based on seal hunting. We would stop doing business with the US because they torture people and they should stop doing business with us because we do abortions. In fact, Redneck Alberta should stop having business relations with anyone outside states that have strong religious beleifs AND do noting that goes against morallity. GOOD LUCK OSTIE !
That we do business with China or not count for nothing. The entire world will keep doing business with them and China will continue to grow.
I beleive if the people there wish to do political reforms within their country, they should do it themselves. Where were they when Canadia's Natives and Québecers needed their help ? Where was everyone ? Where were the Religious Right ? Oh yeah, participating actively.
When any of you would get rid of anything you own that is from China, I would maybe get interesting in this little fake "moral compass" discussion. If Harper is unable to even critisize the U.S. and Israel for some of their ugly behaviours, I don't want him to represent my personal voice on questions like "moral compass".
Until then, you and Harper sitting on his chair made in China should keep it low profile. Since he's all about keeping it low profile, this should not be a problem for him.
Until Canada will be constant in their critisism of the policies of EVERY countries we have business relationship with, I don't want to hear that silly point again.
Again: Dumb fuckin move.

Marc, clearly you do not get around very much to be so frightened of the non existent Canadian Christian Right. As for people with a moral compass, I know many who are not even Christian; in fact I even know atheists who possess a moral compass.
But as even a broken clock is right twice a day, you make a valid point that we cannot impose political reforms on other countries. For reform to be possible in China means that we cannot turn a blind eye to the true human rights abuses committed by the Chinese government. Of course during WW II there were people you thought like you, in that doing business with Nazi Germany was fine. This when their country was officially at war with Germany, but of course they placed a higher value on making money.
I do suggest that you refrain from pretending English Canada has not helped Quebecers, especially when many are fed up with the never-ending pouring of our taxes into Quebec.

Did anyone see this cartoon from (of course) the Toronto Star? No doubting the source because the Star is printed in the basement of Liebral Party HQ. Harper may be a lot of things but a despot he is not.

Alain,
I'm always amazed to see an intelligent man needing to distort reality to won a point.
If you think one would believe England or Canada went to war against Nazi Germany based on their "immoral behaviour" on their ground, I've misjudged your intelligence and knowledge of history.
I’m all in favour of justice and equal rights.
In fact, I’ve been in very difficult situations myself during all my life for defending virtues like those in the face of various forms of authority. Thing is, the present administration only believe in a very selective application of those values on the world stage. This means, we can’t be taken seriously and therefore, we’re missing the wagon with soft-core communist China.
Do our actions affect in any way their internal policies…?
Does any other free countries are boycotting China…?
"I do suggest that you refrain from pretending English Canada has not helped Quebecers, especially when many are fed up with the never-ending pouring of our taxes into Quebec."
If you think the injection of money into Québec has anything to do with some kind of mea culpa related to our second zone citizens past in our own land, you're dead wrong.
This behaviour from Ottawa is nothing less than the reflection of their fear of losing a place that will inevitably becoming its own country.

If Harper wishes to protest something like 1/3 of the World's population that seems not so afraid of their own system, let him offers his resignation, buying himself a 4x4 and a can of paint and get in line in front of whatever institutions he considers a target.
