I get all my news tweets from Warren Kinsella and Donald Trump, they are so spot on and unbiased... Sheesh.
Our idiot Boy Justin would be just fine with Separatist Bloc heads revving up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals WANT our parliament to be splintered into small one issue parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals want our parliament PARALYZED just like the Italian govt that has had something like 65 elections in 66 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one reason why that Italian bridge recently fell down and killed dozens of people- Italian govt was so busy planning its next election that nobody gave a thought to reports about the condition of the bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is an article condemning LIE-beral thought on our election process. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Liberal logic on democratic reform backwards

Here’s a little lesson in Liberal logic: Because we Liberals are so enlightened, everything we say makes sense even when it doesn’t – perhaps especially when it doesn’t.
Lost in the buzz over Prime Minister Justin “Boom-Boom” Trudeau’s antics in the House of Commons on Wednesday is the way his Liberals are systematically attempting to reform our democracy in very undemocratic ways.
(Gunter refers to the dust up in the Commons when Our idiot Boy Justin lost his patience and ran through Parliament, shouting “get the Fcuk out of my way” and elbowing and and bruising a female NDP candidate while trying to drag a male NDP MP back to his seat!)
Here is the core of Liberal logic regarding democratic reform: Making Canada’s democracy more responsive to the will of the people is too important a task to be entrusted to the people.
Rather, to ensure the proper changes are made, the task must be done by Parliament, which of course means by the Liberal majority.
No potential for conflict of interest in that arrangement.
(Subsequently, Maryam Monseff- the Iranian born liar pretending to be an Afghan because it is more politically acceptable- who happens to be the chair of the all party committee studying electoral reform- had a shrieking melt down in parliament when her committee defied her and insisted that we should have a national referendum before implementing any electoral reform!)
(The committee had become uneasy as it became obvious that the LIE-beral “reforms” were designed to turn our Parliament into a spending machine with no off switch! LIE-beral electoral reform is designed to let so many small one issue parties into parliament that it is paralyzed in the Italian fashion- where the Italians have had 65 govts in 66 years- with NO long term planning for anything being done since the system is so splintered nobody can gather up the reins of power and shut down the insanity!)
In short, the Liberals have convinced themselves the way we select our Parliaments is flawed – undemocratic, unfair, unrepresentative. Therefore, the only way to ensure the right changes are made is to give control of the changes to the very Parliament that has become illegitimate.
(Well, LIE-berals are certainly do believe our system is unfair- to them- but then LIE-berals are so grossly entitled and wildly arrogant that they view themselves as the natural governing party and see no reason why anybody would ever have any reason to vote against them- unless they were mentally ILL! Lie-berals have all the charm and grave of savage Soviet Commissars having a BAD Day and LIE-berals are so hypocritical that they would- and DO let mentally ill people vote for them but get hugely cranky when otherwise normal people vote against them!)
But Liberal logic doesn’t end there.
The issue that led to Trudeau grabbing and elbowing MPs the other night was the opposition’s reluctance to pass a Liberal motion that would have limited the right of opposition MPs to speak out against government bills and give the government almost exclusive power to decide when debates end.
In the name of improving our democracy, of course.
(LIE-berals also consider that they should be entitled to label anybody who is critical of any of their policies as some sort of Islamophobe or hate monger and thus be deserving of legal harassment by our Human Rights but too often Wrong Kangaroo courts- on behalf of Fascist oriented LIE-berals!)
All of which comes on top of the Liberals already limiting debates more in their first six months than the Harper Tories did in their first term.
The Liberals’ tortured understanding of what democracy is – we got a majority, now everyone else has to do as we say – extends from top to bottom in their cabinet and caucus. Even Maryam Monsef, the Minister of Democratic Institutions is infected.
Just hours before our MMA prime minister got his elbows up (literally) in the octagon … er, the House, Monsef insisted no referendum was needed on fundamentally changing Canadian elections because “democracy is more than just about voting. It is about working together to ensure that every voice and every perspective is engaged and included in governance.” Except the voices that disagree with Liberals.
In the past, when “the Progressive Conservative Party extended the right to vote to women and indigenous persons,” Monsef went on, the Tories “did not hold a referendum.” They just worked with the other parties in Parliament to bring about those changes.
And Monsef might have a point – if she weren’t talking about two entirely different matters.
(Offering people the opportunity to vote is one thing- but splintering our parliament into tiny warring factions that talk matters to death without getting anything done is another matter! The Italian example of what is wrong with LIE-beral electoral reform leading to proportional representation is a SCARY object lesson for Cdns! The Israeli experience with electoral reform is one that even Israelis lament due to it giving so much power to small lunatic fringe groups at critical moments- the Israelis would like to change over to our first past the post British system but cannot gather up enough power in their SPLINTERED Parliament to do so! The New Zealanders experimented with electoral reform in the LIE-beral fashion for a few years and switched back to our first past the post system because they did not like the political paralysis that came with LIE-beral style electoral reform! But then the New Zealanders have gone bankrupt nationally once already and it has scared them into scorning LIE-beral style deficit spending!)
To equate getting rid of first-past-the-post with extending the vote to women and First Peoples is as insulting as it is ludicrous. If the question was whether to extend the franchise to a class of people currently prevented from voting by race, gender or ethnicity, there would be no trouble with Parliament doing so on its own.
But to change how we elect governments- particularly in a way that is likely to benefit the Liberals- without giving Canadians the final say is not only obnoxious, it’s dangerous to national unity.
(As an example- LIE-beral reform would allow a Sharia Law party to take seats in our parliament! We would be faced with all sorts of lunatic fringe groups such as a PETA PARTY dedicated to banning any consumption of meat! And why not a Hamas party dedicated to turning Jews into third class citizens? LIE-berals already send foreign aid to Hamas so why would they object to such a party? And after all we already have the Bloc Quebecois in parliament and they are sworn to the destruction of Canada!)
If we are to have Liberal governments forever because the Liberals use their Parliamentary majority to force through reforms that favour them, then both Quebec and the West may very well return to their previous grieving ways.
One of the achievements for which former PM Stephen Harper gets no credit is the way he quieted regional alienation to the point where Confederation is no longer threatened on a seemingly biennial basis from one end of the country or the other.
(Albertans are already making noises about separation if they don’t get a better deal on pipelines with Ottawa- how much more grumpy will they become if Our idiot Boy wins another election in 2019 and gets away with killing the Kinder Morgan pipeline as he desires and destroys the Alberta oil patch in the process- as he has told us he wants to? And just what industry do LIE-berals think will absorb all those unemployed oil workers? It certainly will not be the electric TOY car industry that LIE-berals are encouraging as a support for their electricity system price gouging!)
Rigging elections in favour of centrist and Central governments, and calling that democratic reform, could put that all at risk again.
(Happily the Cdn public seems to be turning against LIE-beral “sunny ways”!)
