OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLASSIC hemer-HOID GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it not odd that hemer-HOID always turns to blaming Harper for LIE-beral actions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess we should not be asking hemer-HOID how it is that the "evil" Harper..............................................
persuaded LIE-beral Chretien to lead all those "Team Canada" trade missions to China????????????????????????????
And what sort of Svengali hold does Harper have on LIE-berals........................................
that Chretien and his LIE-beral BOOT LICKERS would feel COMPELLED to BOAST.........................................
of their fine working relationship with China.........................................
and to BOAST about about all the sales they made to China???????????????????????????????????????
And shall we now point to the Greatest LIE-beral accomplishment of the last 40 years?????????????????
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE MUST THANK LIE-berals for their wonderful ideas about disseminating Fake News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We could start with civil service union Hogs and local Walkerton politicians BLAMING Mike Harris for not reigning in drunken morons
at the Walkerton Water Dept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- we should point out that Walkerton "leaders" INSISTED they be allowed to take over their own water system..........................
back in the 1930`s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- Walkerton leaders THREW OUT the provincial monitors and hired UNLICENSED DRUNKS to run things................................
and that is the somehow the fault of Harris and Harper????????????????????????????
We could talk about what LIE-berals refer to as "our BOOMING economy".............................................
that happens to be mired in RECORD DEBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is it we can be both booming and broke???????????????????????
Hogs "boom" and the rest of us are "broke"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We could talk about LIE-beral bigotry masquerading as social awareness...................................
meaning LIE-berals have become AWARE they can pick up votes by raving about white privilege!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes- LIE-berals consider it a VIRTUE to import hordes of illegals and tell them their lives will become PERFECT...............................
IF ONLY they vote LIE-beral and help destroy odious white privilege!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By which LIE-beral mean Our idiot Boy should be anointed as prime minister for life....................................
and granted FULL POWERS to jail and silence anybody who disputes the wonderful benefits of his REIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As proof I offer the FACT that Our idiot Boy has made a modest start on his dictatorship by offering up SIX HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS to media whores "that HE TRUSTS"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course LIE-berals DO NOT wish to talk about that KEY WHITE PRIVILEGE........................................
the one that involves SHUNNING LIE-beral HYPOCRISY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE could talk about LIE-beral respect for democracy.............................................
meaning LIE-berals ARE IN LOVE with all the democratic loopholes.........................................
they can use to SUBVERT our values and laws............................................
FOR LIE-beral benefit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We can talk about LIE-beral love of justice and fair play.....................................
except that would jump start arguments about Lavalin and the LIE-beral belief they ARE ABOVE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We could mention that LIE-berals are CONVINCED their opponents are CLOSED MINDED......................................
except that opponents of LIE-berals want to discuss a WIDE RANGE of LIE-beral FAILINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While Maroons like hemer-HOID ONLY want to talk about "white nattys"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And asshats like hemer-HOID think LIE-berals have a winning election strategy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hemer-HOID THINKS he can HIDE OLD LIES WITH NEW ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who wants to BET that hemer-HOID WILL NEVER ADMIT that LIE-beral Chretien..............................................
EVER WENT NEAR CHINA??????????????????????????????????????????????????
In the mind of hemer-HOID................................................
those LIE-beral Team Canada trade missions NEVER HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And hemer-HOID WILL NEVER ADMIT it was HARPER who refused to let RED China/ Beijing butchers BUY IN to the Alberta oil patch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt Gurney: Someone tell Trudeau he can't be a reconciliation champion and the overseer of genocide at the same time
The PM passing genocide off as some other wrong he can apologize for without needing to personally own any responsibility simply won't work.
Six days after acknowledging that his country was guilty of genocide, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference outside of Montreal and announced that Canada was going to take a hard line on single-use plastic items such as straws, water bottles and cutlery. The leader of the nation he agrees is actively trying to destroy a segment of its population went on to add, “We need to cover all of Canada with this decision and that’s why the federal government is moving forward on a science-based approach to establishing which harmful single-use plastics we will be eliminating as of 2021.”
If you’re pressed for time, dear reader, you can probably just stop now. I’m going to keep going for a while to actually fill out the column, but if there is anything you should take away from the this, it’s that the prime minister pivoted from a crime against humanity to the crime of the drinking straw in your smoothie in about 140 hours. This is the problem the prime minister faces — arguably more than even the average Canadian PM would. This prime minister has spoken often of his desire for a better relationship with Indigenous communities and people. He’s spoken a lot about reconciliation. He’s had some major flops on that front, too, of course, from his flippant “Thank you for your donation” dismissal of a protest over poor environmental conditions on a First Nations reserve (for which he apologized) to the obvious damage inflicted by the prolonged and public battle between the Prime Minister’s Office and former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould, an Indigenous woman. Still, if only as a matter of political branding, the PM has tried to sell himself as the federal leader most committed to reconciliation.
So what do you do when a report your government commissioned and spent almost $100 million on concludes that the government you’re running is genocidal?
I’m not sure there’s an easy answer to that question, but we can certainly recap what the prime minister actually did. First he avoided it entirely, speaking in more general terms about Canada needing to do more for the “safety, security, and dignity” of Indigenous women and girls. That’s obviously true and fair, but it didn’t help the PM much; every headline that day was some variation of “TRUDEAU WON’T SAY GENOCIDE.” The next day, having decided that just ignoring the word wasn’t going to work, he used it. “We accept (the report’s) findings including that what happened amounts to genocide,” he said. It was a carefully chosen admission — what “happened,” not what’s “happening” — but there it was. Trudeau had admitted it was genocide.
It didn’t last. By Monday of this week, the same day the prime minister committed Canada to the great crusade against those loopy things that hold your six-pack together, the prime minister was qualifying his statement, telling Radio-Canada in an interview that he would describe what had happened as a “cultural genocide.”
It’s easy to jump on the PM for trying to hold every possible position on this issue simultaneously. (Chantal Hébert, writing in the Toronto Star, noted dryly that, “Trudeau’s mixed messages will likely satisfy no one.” No kidding.) But rather than view the prime minister’s evolving response as a sign of confusion or conflict, I see something else entirely: the contortions are the natural product of the undeniable truth that, for this prime minister, there is no good position. He’s screwed.
He can avoid calling it a genocide at all, as seemed to be his first instinct. But a day of criticism was all he could take before he abandoned that position; it’s obvious he and his advisers concluded it simply wasn’t a politically defensible stand for a nominally reconciliation-focused prime minister. So he shifted to acknowledging that genocide was a valid term, but carefully put the term in the past tense — genocide had “happened.” But there’s no safe harbour for the prime minister there; the final report’s supplement specifically dealing with genocide’s definition and meaning notes, “In addition to the lethal conduct, the non-lethal tactics … fall within the scope of the crime of genocide. These policies … in different incarnations, are still ongoing.” (Emphasis added.) So cleanly carving genocide off as just some other historic wrong the prime minister can formally apologize for without needing to personally own any responsibility isn’t going to work, either. The report is clear that the genocide is ongoing. The crime is ongoing, the report argues, right now, and the buck stops with Trudeau.
The prime minister can’t accept that. Even if he wants to — and that’s far from clear, as he has always seemed way more comfortable apologizing for historic crimes than any errors he himself has made — he simply can’t. If the PM admits that there is a genocide and that he’s partially overseen it, how can he then go back to business as normal, slamming Conservatives for their support of Alberta oil and cracking down on water bottles? You can’t cop to a war crime over breakfast and then deliver an infrastructure announcement to a local chamber of commerce at lunch without looking absurd. Recasting it as cultural genocide isn’t going to work all that much better for the prime minister, but it’s probably is the best avenue open to him.
A different prime minister might have felt more comfortable than Trudeau simply rejecting the use of the term, as Conservative leader Andrew Scheer did when he agreed that horrible things had happened, but that they didn’t constitute a genocide. You can agree with Scheer’s position or not, but it’s coherent and defensible.
Trudeau’s? Not so much. You don’t need to grasp quantum computing to realize you simply can’t be the country’s leading champion of reconciliation and the self-confessed overseer of an ongoing genocide at the same time.

Harper DID make deals with China which I don't like. I am not an admirer of his for many reasons, this among them.
But... I remember those days. I remember the constant pressure from the Liberals and NDP as well as corporate Canada adn the media to make nice with China, pressure Harper ignored at first. So I give him some credit for having the right ideas. He often did. But also as he often did, he refused to stand behind his beliefs and caved in once the recession set in. He was the great pragmatist, after all.
The Liberals and NDP get ZERO credit, of course. They enthusiastically embraced China from the beginning. Chretien had the RCMP rough up and falsely arrest all kinds of people during the APEC summit because he'd promised the Chinese dictator he would see no protestors if only he would please, pretty please, pretty pretty please come over. "I put de pepper on my steak!" he said jovially, he and the Chinese dictator slapping palms about what you do to demonstrators. Those who followed him into the leadership took identical positions, and still hold them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The USUAL DAMNED with faint praise LIE-beral CRAP about Harper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He "made some deals with China" and Vbeacher doesnt like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was under Harper that the Sino Forest SCAM- the biggest stock market swindle in Cdn history finally UNRAVELED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who dont know- Sino Forest HAD THE CHINES GOVT as one of its partners........................................
and yet the main holding companies were SHELLS that NEVER actually produced any wood products in its home territory of Yunan!!!!
Sino Forest got started in Canada under Chretien..............................................
and DELIBERATELY TARGETED Cnd investors "because they know more about the forest industry"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In spite of having the Chinese govt as partners.................................
Sino Forest eventually collapsed into bankruptcy................................................
WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST both here in Canada................................
and ALLEGEDLY LOST in China as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With such a fiscal record - Harper was UNWILLING to let Chinese business people have the sort of free rein that western business
people get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With LIE-berals making nasty noises about cold warriors out of touch with the times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now here we are listening to ALL OUR ALLIES gripe about Huawei spies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And GRIPE about Chinese cooperation with Iranian radical TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our idiot Boy wants to STAB NATO in the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harper sent our few fighter jets to JOIN the Coalition against Isis killers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy ABANDONED our allies left hordes of people at the mercy of Isis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HYPOCRITE LIE-berals like hemer-HOID point out that Our idiot Boy sent Cdn soldiers to train Jurds and others to resist Isis...............
and so instead of a relatively short fight dominated by western air power that would pave the way for a quick victory.............................
Our idiot Boy HELPED turn the fight against Isis into a LONGER..................................
more DRAWN OUT AFFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That gave Isis MORE TIME to torture and abuse its SEX SLAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was LIE-beral Chretien who sent a BADLY EQUIPPED pack of Cdn soldiers to Afghanistan.............................
and it was Harper who took the flak for PROPERLY EQUIPPING those Cdns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With LIE-berals WHINING all the while about the COST of the Afghan mission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there is the classic LIE-beral ARGUMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals DELIBERATELY MAKE HUGE MESSES....................................................
while Conservatives get caught up in LIE-beral messes like Sino Forest.............................
Afghanistan..................................................
the Chinese govt abuses of its slave labour population....................................................
And it will be CONSERVATIVES who have to sort out the Canola war.........................................................
and sort out Huawei and the national security issues related to Huawei spies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And it is Conservatives who will have to sort out the HORDES of illegals who have been allowed to come here...........................
