The Continuing Adventures of "Mike McHoser"

"You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?"

Matthew 7:16

Oh, Canerduh, such a sparkling array of potential rulers thou dost parade before us. *snort*

And such a diversity of policies and platforms too, a real representation of the populace (probably accounts for that enormous voter turnout every time, huh?);

There’s what we're pleased to call the “right”:

There's the "center":
And the "left":

If you’re less than impressed with the selection, you take comfort in knowing you’re not alone, but hang on - don’t just shy away at the gag reflex, think it all through a little further: this is a symptom, not the disease.

The travesty that is the canerdian system of government presenting this sorry collection for consideration is the real problem.

I mean, this isn't new, really, look back, where’s the Churchill, the Reagan, the … ?

Let’s see:

Drunken crook; can you say CP Rail, kids?

Oh, and by the way and just by co-inky-dink, how about this guy here in BC?
There's Christy herself peeking down at that aficionado of all things Hitlerian:
more like a three dollar bill, if you know what I mean.

Ottawa's answer to Charles Ponzi:

Pass the sick bag, Ethel.
Of course, who could ever forget (or forgive)?There aren't enuff words, really, are there?

Hey, how 'bout this guy?

Well, you get my drift. A pretty sorry collection indeed. And these are the heavy hitters of canerdian history. These are the guys they put on the money yet. Pitiful.

As a British Columbian, its almost a relief to know that my vote counts for squat in the imperial scheme of things (and I do mean scheme); if I mark the ballot with FREE BC! or write in Groucho Marx it matters not whatever, bu-u-u-t on the other hand, I don't have to try and sleep thinking I helped elect one of these.

We "out" here can only sit back and see what the real canadians come up with for us to pay for this time.

Oh, and if the Biblical quotation should "offend" anyone (Islamabad, I'm looking at you), kindly be advised that I don’t give a rip.

You read it here first.

Tories Brace for Fearmongering

No truth to rumours this image to figure large in Liberal ads

The Harpo Tories are emailing their members (and those they think are members ;D ) drumming up cash to counter the predictable torrent of attack ads being unleashed on the consciousness of voters.

"Dear Mr. In North Burnaby

As more and more Canadians abandon the Liberals, the Liberal attack machine is revving up. They will spend the final two weeks of this election campaign trying to scare Canadians just like they've done before. As their campaign unravels, their attacks are becoming more and more absurd. We must take advantage of these opportunities as they present themselves. I'm emailing you today with an urgent request for you to make a contribution of $200 or $100 on-line right now, by following this link.

We need your support because we have an opportunity right now to counter the Liberal attack machine as it begins to over-reach and make more and more preposterous claims about the Conservative election campaign.

Just this weekend, Yasmin Ratansi's absurd statements that Stephen Harper ‘doesn't really like women', underscore the Liberals' increasingly desperate attempts to gain traction with the electorate. Why are they so desperate? With a $12 billion hole in their campaign platform, support among Canadians shrinking and at least 30 members of their caucus and candidates questioning the wisdom of the so-called Green Shift, it's not surprising at all.

Right now, we have an opportunity to show the Liberal campaign strategy for what it is: the real politics of division in this election. We need your help to do it, so please, follow this link right now and make an –on-line contribution of $200 or $100. Your contribution will help your Conservative Campaign team buy print, radio and television air time and expose the Liberal increasing desperation to Canadians.

Now is the time we need your support the most, I hope you will answer the call.
Sincerely,
Irving R. Gerstein, C. M., O.Ont
Chair, Conservative Fund Canada

P.S. - With election day a short 13 days away, your support is most urgent. Please send the most generous contribution you can today by following this link to our secure on-line donations page."


Personally, I've developed a little gluttony game I quite enjoy to go with all this. Every time I hear some manure chute like Ujjal Dosanjh link Harpo and the evil wicked nasty tool of the devil Bush (:rolleyes:) I have a cookie.

A Look Ahead With Christy

"12:25 and time for a look ahead to the big show with Christy. Madam?"

"Well, Gord, today of course we'll be all over the federal election campaign. We'll be talking to some farmers in rural southern Ontario who are saying that Stephen Harper is some sort of witch or warlock or whatever you'd call it, they say his last campaign stop in their area their crops withered, their cows began giving sour milk, the whole 9 yards, so that sounds interesting.

Then we'll be looking at Liberal leader Stephane Dion. We're gonna have his auntie on the line long distance, through a translator of course, and we'll see what we can dig up there.

Then Gord we'll talk to a man, Mike, no that's Mark, Mark Marrissen, he runs something called Burrard Communications, but we're not going to talk to him about that, no we're going to get his views on the federal election as a local small business person.

And then, Gord as if all that wasn't enough, I'll be speaking with a client, I mean a spokesperson for Translink ..."

NDP Vow To Get Tough On Crime

The trouble is, the NDP have had opportunities in the past to get tough on crime and, well, passed on them.
Remember Bill C-275 introduced in the Commons November 15, 2004?
Sure you do, Carley’s Law. Yeah, that one, getting tough on drunken drivers. Here's Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Bill Siksay explaining in an email why he and his party voted against Carley’s Law.:

"Dear Mr. In North Burnaby

Thank you for your recent message regarding Bill C-275.

I did not vote for this bill because I was concerned that it removed the concept of criminal intent from consideration in cases where someone may have left the scene of the accident for innocent reasons. I also have difficulty with mandatory minimum sentences. I believe that there is good reason to allow judges to exercise discretion when sentencing by taking into consideration the particular circumstances of the case. I am also not convinced, from my understanding of the experience of those jurisdictions that have mandatory minimum sentence, that they have been effective in ensuring convictions or in deterring or preventing the crimes to which they are attached. There is also mixed opinion here in Canada as to whether a further extension of mandatory sentences in the area of impaired driving will have the desired effect.

I have attached a copy of the speech made by the NDP's Justice Critic, Joe Comartin, MP, on this bill. Mr. Comartin goes into greater detail on some of the concerns we had with the bill.

It was not easy to vote against this bill given the horrible consequences to far too many Canadians of drunk driving. But I do believe that I did so for very serious reasons.

Thank you for taking the time to contact me on this important issue.

Sincerely yours,
Bill Siksay, MP
Burnaby-Douglas"

Can't you just see Cactus Jack Layton and Buffalo Bill Siksay ridin' into town, roundin' up all the ornery, no-good varmints and packin' 'em off to the hoosegow?
No?
Me neither.

Does It Really Matter? Part II

Not as far as I'm concerned. Either of these characters will screw BC just as hard and deep as any of their predecessors did.
Muldoon, Turdeau, the drunken old crook MacDonald ... it doesn't matter the stripe or what sort of BS they toss our way during elections (think "frigates").
That is to say they will adopt policies that will continue building support in BC for independence, just as their predecessors did.
Either way, time, as the song says, is on my side.
Yes, it is.
