So that's a yes then. You are a liberal by your definition.
Oh dear me! Gerryh PROVES my assertion that he is perennially puzzled by life!
Here is an article illustrating how shameless LIE-berals are in trying to exploit the Wuhan Pandemic as an EXCUSE to save their minority govt from destruction! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Scheer 'Irresponsible' For Wanting To Resume Parliament Amid COVID-19: says Trudeau
Althia Raj, from HuffPost Canada. Published April 19, 2020
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative Leader Andrew Sheer of being “irresponsible” Sunday, while the Green Party said Scheer was holding Parliament hostage and putting people’s health in jeopardy
“My blood is boiling,” Green parliamentary leader Elizaberth May told HuffPost Canada Sunday evening. “This is not acceptable.”
(Ah yes - LIE-berals happily work with the “idiot cousins” - meaning NDPees and Greenies who all share most LIE-beral values! May hopes to see a future in which Greenies push aside LIE-berals and put a Greenie into the PM`s office!)
May was livid after Scheer refused to sign an agreement with the other parties to avoid the return of the House of Commons on Monday.
(May DOES NOT want too much public scrutiny of LIE-beral policy as she supports a lot of the same environmental CRAP that LIE-berals are trying to slip into the aid package we so desperately need! Such policy deceit during a national emergency is especially SLIMY and under handed!)
(Greenies share so many LIE-beral values that May IS NOT CONCERNED that LIE-berals planned to SHUT DOWN our Parliament and END opposition party scrutiny of LIE-beral tax and spend madness FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS!)
“I’m so distressed,” the Greens’ longtime leader said. “The Conservatives have not only refused to do what was expected, when we put in place the vote unanimous consent on March 13th, that used April 20th as a placeholder.” MPs selected April 20, hopefully, five weeks ago when the pandemic was just developing. “It’s now obvious that no one should have regular Parliament meetings.”
(Green support of LIE-beral policy is SO COMPLETE that May does not want LIE-berals to face ANY real question period and it seems she is NOT BOTHERED by the hit and miss nature of those “virtual question periods” that LIE-berals previously set up which resulted in some MP`s being unable to hear speakers and still others being unable to respond - with most of those facing technical glitches being members OF THE OPPOSITION!)
(LIE-berals saw the virtual online parliament - in which they could speak without being heckled or questioned by opponents as an IDEAL WAY to conduct LIE-beral business! Its just too bad that some people think NEUTERING PARLIAMENT IS A BAD IDEA! Especially with LIE-berals planning to shovel $200 billion dollars or more in aid out the door - in a situation where LIE-berals are ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE to buy more votes and save their hold on power at ANY PRICE! Now more than ever we NEED opposition party scrutiny!)
Earlier in the day, Trudeau told reporters that calling MPs back to Ottawa for regular sittings of the Parliament was irresponsible and that while he believes Parliament has a function, it has to be done responsibly.
(Having a FEW representatives in Parliament and able to swiftly QUESTION LIE-beral actions on a regular basis IS ESSENTIAL! LIE-berals have ALREADY PROVED they MUST BE WATCHED VERY CAREFULLY! LIE-berals have already managed to bury the Lavalin Corruption and Admiral Norman scandal and LIE-berals tried and failed to CLOSE our parliament in a power grab worthy of a third world dictatorship - so what other CRAP will they be encouraged to try to sneak through and cover up in a lightly supervised future?)
“Right now, the Conservatives are not taking a responsible approach,” the prime minister said during his daily press conference.
(That is LIE-beral speak meaning Conservatives are successfully BLOCKING shameless LIE-beral power grabs!)
The Liberals, he added, proposed that some MPs sit in-person once a week and that virtual sittings be added to ensure that MPs across the country have a voice.
(And we have already established that virtual sittings to often impose “technical limits” on opponents wishing to ask questions that LIE-berals DO NOT want to answer!)
“We know that accountability is important, and taking questions every day from the media is a good thing, but it is also important that parliamentarians and opposition politicians get to ask questions of the government, which is why we’ve proposed that the Parliament sit every week in reduced fashion, … a proposal that was accepted by most parties.
(Taking soft questions from LIE-beral friendly media that is getting PAID out of the slush fund that LIE-berals set up for “Media they trust” IS NOT the same as getting public grilling from opposition party members seeking the TRUTH!)
Sunday evening, the Conservative were insisting Parliament meet in-person three days a week for two hours.
(Greenies, NDPees and Bloc Quebecois have now banded together against Conservatives and Parliament will sit ONCE per week with a limited number of MP`s and will hold 2 longer virtual sitting per week - thus Conservatives did get a slight increase in opportunity to scrutinize LIE-beral activities!)
In a statement to HuffPost, NDP House leader Peter Julian called on the Tories “to get on board.”
“The NDP plan holds the government to account as often as the Conservatives say they want and makes sure that people from across the country have the chance to have their concerns raised in Parliament,” Julian said in an email.
(Yes- the idiot cousins all see OPPORTUNITY in helping SELL the LIE-beral policies to Cdns and none of them see any reason to worry about how much truth there is in LIE-beral advertising! The idiot cousins all see a chance to enhance their status by riding on the LIE-beral coat tails! And the idiot cousins see NO OPPORTUNITY to enhance their position by supporting Conservatives! Shameless vote buying rules the day!)
But Scheer told reporters Sunday afternoon that the other parties’ negotiated offer isn’t good enough.
“Team Canada needs to be able to ask questions more than just once a week,” the Conservative leader said. There are questions to be asked about needed medical supplies, emergency benefit coverage, senior care, and the plan to reopen the Canadian economy, he said.
“The best place for our elected representatives to get answers to these questions is in the House of Commons in Ottawa,” Scheer said.
When questioned about why virtual sittings couldn’t be established, the Conservative leader said virtual sittings aren’t possible at the moment and parliamentarians “cannot wait for the weeks and weeks that it may take the House of Commons administration” to provide the technology.
(This sounds like Scheer is giving a DIPLOMATIC ANSWER to avoid any suggestion that LIE-berals DO NOT CARE if opposition MP`s cannot make their voices heard or ask their VALID QUESTIONS of govt ministers due to those MYSTERIOUS technical glitches that dogged the previous virtual sitting! As already noted - LIE-berals have TRIED TO SHUT DOWN PARLIAMENT ENTIRELY for nearly two years - and this action should IMMEDIATELY motivate us to question ALL LIE-beral actions! Clearly LIE-berals ARE NOT HAPPY about facing a weekly barrage of opposition questions!)
The Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota, told MPs in a public letter on April 8 that staff are working towards the goal of having virtual sittings available by May 6.
Scheer said the Tories had already put water in their wine, moving from a request for four in-person sittings a week to three. He said the House needs to sit more than once a week.
(LIE-berals are loading us up with an UTTERLY UNPRECEDENTED $200 billion dollars in new debt - at a time when we were already facing massive debts previously run up by LIE-berals when our economy was allegedly “booming”! And LIE-beral handling of such things as the Adscam theft of three billion dollars from the federal Human Resources Ministry and the Lavalin Corruption with its PROOF of election bribery and vile rigging of govt contracts IN CANADA indicates just how CAREFULLY ALL LIE-beral activity needs to be scrutinized!)
(Scheer is doing us all a favour by trying to force LIE-berals to fully display their plans and schemes!)
“Millions of Canadians are still working,” he said. “There are millions of Canadians who are providing services to their fellow citizens in this time of crisis. We believe the Parliament is an essential service and that we will get Canadians through this crisis in a better way, if Parliament is allowed to do its job.”
But May said opposition MPs have proved they can do their job and improve government measures without meeting in person in Ottawa.
(Birds of a feather - who support LIE-beral schemes CANNOT provide us with the level of responsible govt WE DESERVE! The idiot cousins are apparently just as willing to sell out the general public in exchange for POWER as LIE-berals are!)
“We should only be meeting in person when it’s essential to do so, and question period is not an essential reason to meet in person; it can be done virtually,” she said.
“If we weren’t seeing the government take steps, we could be saying, ‘Well, wait a minute, you’re not listening to us, wait a minute.’” She noted there are still gaps in the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), gaps in the wage subsidy, and problems for small businesses. “Lots of issues to deal with,” she said, “but we’ve been handling them really well without being in session.”
(Yes- and the gaps are quite possibly DELIBERATE! We have only to think back to Ontari-owe LIE-beral premier Dalton McGinty who offered up $100 million dollars in 2009 to re-train laid off auto workers after the 2008 mortgage meltdown amd McGinty attached so many strings to that “aid” that ONLY FIVE PERCENT OF IT was ever used! LIE-berals DELIGHT in making grand announcements that LEAD TO DEAD ENDS and disappointment!)
(In other news - after the 2008 meltdown - LIE-berals BITTERLY ATTACKED Conservative Harper for not spending more to help Cdn workers - and yet when LIE-berals got elected in 2015 - they IMMEDIATELY ATTACKED the $1.5 billion deficit that Conservatives had planned to ELIMINATE in their 2016 budget! And then in ULTIMATE IRONY - LIE-berals ran that planned 2016 balanced budget UP TO A THIRTY TWO BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT! And still ANGRILY INSISTED they were good money managers!)
(The LIE-beral HISTORY of shameless vote buying DEMANDS careful scrutiny of the activities of the LIE-beral minority govt!)
