Here's my thread on my ignore list.

I have two categories of ig listers - the ones who post massive amounts of garage , and the passive (or otherwise) aggressives

without the ignore list the threads are too difficult to follow but over time I have managed to allow more and more PA's out to play. I can handle 5 or 6 idiots but not 12 or 15 of them.

And there's no point in having them all loose anyway because they are generally speaking interchangeable.

Here is an article illustrating how adept LIE-berals are at hunting gravy at tax payer expense! With some comments of my own in brackets):

Two taxpayer-funded salaries at once?

By Sue-Ann Levy

Published: December 15, 2018. Updated: December 15, 2018 6:00 PM EST

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Toronto & GTA

They’re two professional politicians with something in common.

Both tried to run for MPP under the Liberal banner in June, and lost.

(It calls into question the judgement of city hall councillor nitwits that they would join the party led by the most hated premier in Cdn history- right before public outrage boiled over in that June provincial election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Both subsequently ran for Toronto council and won.

Shelley Carroll collected a year’s severance — the equivalent of $114,306 — when she resigned as councillor in April to run for the Kathleen Wynne Liberals.

(Carroll got 4 months salary- January to beginning of April working as a city councillor - and then got a full YEAR of severance- and then got re-elected and collected her councillors salary from mid October till the end of 2018!! In my book that adds up to SIXTEEN months PAY for 12 months work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Mike Colle, who’s been a politician for 36 years and served six consecutive terms as a Liberal MPP, was eligible for an 18-month cash kiss-off when he lost in June, or the equivalent of at least $219,000.

(But Colle gets Way more than Carroll in severance pay because he has been a govt HOG for longer and still only does that 12 months work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Both commenced their $114,306 councillor jobs on Dec. 1.

By my calculations, Carroll will be double-dipping for the next four months — collecting the equivalent of $38,000 extra.

But don’t count on her paying it back. In a Nov. 1 column I reported that Carroll explained away the payout as a “commuted salary” — suggesting she opted as a councillor back in 2006 to give up pay increases -not true- in exchange for a lump sum payout. Brownie points, at least, for creativity!

(Isnt it wonderful to be a HOG! You can say any nonsense you like and nobody calls you on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Efforts to reach Colle Saturday were unsuccessful. But if he did indeed take his 18-month severance, he will be collecting two taxpayer-funded salaries for the entire first year of his term — a situation that has not escaped some of his Eglinton-Lawrence constituents.

(NICE! The equivalent of 4 months extra pay for Carroll and A FULL YEAR of extra pay for Colle!! And NO NEED to be at all grateful for being re-elected since they are Entitled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

A petition is in the works asking him to pay back a year’s worth of severance.

(Yeah- GOOD LUCK with that petition!! Hogs truly believe they are fully entitled to LAUGH at such things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Trump administration claims Ottawa's jet procurement plan is unfair to F-35, says report

OH GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OF COURSE the LIE-beral F 35 procurement so called "plan" is unfair to F 35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals are afraid the weapon MIGHT BE EFFECTIVE AND USEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And letting CANADIAN SOLDIERS have useful and effective weapons is CLEARLY NOT something LIE-berals want to see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Just look at LIE-beral Jean Chretien paying a five hundred million dollar PENALTY...................................................


just so RCAF would NOT have access to the safest and most reliable and all round excellent helicopters on the market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-beral hostility to useful weapons is SO IRRATIONAL that they were prepared to PUT LIVES AT RISK.......................................


rather than buy EH101 copters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


With 3 engines- EH 101 HAD A PROVEN ABILITY to fly back to base and LAND SAFELY..................................................


with one engine out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
l!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And of course being effective at attacking Russian

EH 101`s would have been excellent troop carriers and cargo haulers...............................


the EH 101`s were flexible......................................


and highly effective for anti submarine warfare as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EH 101 could carry the latest anti submarine weapons to hunt Russian and Chinese subs and clearly such capacity mandated that LIE-berals despised the EH 101......................................


in spite of the EQUALLY EFFECTIVE ABILITY of EH 101`s to do search and rescue SAFELY in BAD weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So NO EH 101`s for Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Instead , LIE-berals purchased Cormorant helicopters...........................................


with TWO engines.........................................


and if one Cormorant engine fails..................................................


the other engine has just enough power to ensure the machine has a RELATIVELY SOFT LANDING....................................


when it goes down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And the Cormorants came with very costly FAULTY TAIL ROTORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So if you were in the RCAF....................


would you want to fly the EH 101 which can simply FLY back to base if an engine fails??????


Instead of dumping you into the FRIGID Atlantic ocean????????????????????????



Or would you choose the Cormorant..........................................................


and if it suffers an engine failure...................................


YOU ARE GOING DOWN.................................................



but it will not be a bad crash into that frigid ocean?????????????????????????


Is this a HARD CHOICE????????????????????????????


For anybody but a LIE-beral??????????????????????

 

[Curious Cdn]

in spite of the EQUALLY EFFECTIVE ABILITY of EH 101`s to do search and rescue SAFELY in BAD weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or would you choose the Cormorant......................................... ...

The Cormorant IS an EH-101 ...

[spilledthebeer]

the eh101 is a cormorant with asw capability

OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TWO BAD LIARS ON ONE PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Cormorant is NOT AN EH 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And both HOID and Comrade Curiouis are telling LIE-beral FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AS USUAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cormorant was made by the same design team that made EH 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EH 101 was DESIGNED FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EH 101 has THREE ENGINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I


Cormorant was designed later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And is the ECONOMY VERSION of EH 101!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cormorant has TWO ENGINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ford Motor Co. makes both F 150 and Ranger pick ups...................................


and only a FOOL or a LIE-beral would tell us they are the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yet idiot LIE-berals are now trying to tell us that EH 101 and Cormorant ARE THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Cormorant has TWO ENGINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The much safer and more powerful EH 101 HAS THREE ENGINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BOTH Cormorant and EH 101 are designed for "modular" loading......................................


that is to say that "modules" of gear for various operations can be loaded................................................


meaning that anti submarine gear can be snapped into place as required!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OR REMOVED QUICKLY so the machine can be used for carrying passengers during search and rescue operations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EH 101 has a PROVEN ABILITY to fly back to base if one engine goes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EH 101 HAS THAT RESERVE of power and strength!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Cormorant- with its two engines- guarantees the machine WILL NOT BE WRECKED if an engine goes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Cormorant CANNOT FLY on one engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But Cormorant has the ability to make an immediate but fairly soft landing if one engine goes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If Cormorant is flying out over water when an engine goes out.....................................


it WILL HIT THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals want to suggest that an EH 101 that can simply fly back to base if it has mechanical trouble....................................


is just as SAFE as a Cormorant that wont hit the ground TOO HARD if it has mechanical trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


EH 101 is SAFER to operate out over the Atlantic Ocean.....


and it is SAFER to operate out over the Arctic wastelands....................................................


by virtue of being able to fly back to base with one engine out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Given the LIE-beral habit of FORCING RCAF to maintain machines by salvaging old parts off other wrecks...............................




As is standard practice for keeping F 18`s flying..............................................


and WAS standard practice for keeping Sea King helicopters flying.................................





HOW LONG before a Cormorant goes down in the ocean????????????????????????


Or into an Arctic blizzard??????????????????????????????????


And HOW EMBARASSED will LIE-berals be.................................


knowing the Cormorant crew will be in DESPERATE need of rescue before they freeze to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But the Eh 101 crew could have simply flown back to base with an engine out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And yes............................................


depending on the type of gear carried and the amount of fuel on board................................


the stricken EH 101 might have to dump spare fuel or gear to lighten the load and ensure a safe return to base................................


but dumping fuel and gear is a much safer deal than getting into a life raft launched from a SINKING Cormorant 200 miles off shore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



EH 101 has LONGER RANGE................................................


and has GREATER CARGO CAPACITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That means an EH 101 pulling crew off a sinking vessel CAN CARRY many more people than a Cormorant...........................


in a single trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If you were a crewman on a sinking ship.........................................


would you be okay with LIE-berals sending a Cormorant to rescue you...................................


knowing that the CORMORANT MUST MAKE SEVERAL TRIPS...........................................


to do the job an EH 101 can do IN ONE TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You will WAIT many more hours for the Cormorant to haul passengers off a stricken ship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And EH 10 can operate more safely in high winds and heavy rain than Cormorant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LIE-berals do not just scorn the lives of Cdn military people who will be expected to operate with INFERIOR equipment as usual!!!!!!!!!!


But LIE-berals also SCORN the lives of anybody who needs rescuing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


LIE-berals assume that if you are STUPID ENOUGH to put on a military uniform.....................................


then you are dumb enough to put up with any crap LIE-berals want to dump on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As for those who need rescuing for whatever reason................................................


LIE-beral figure those in need of rescue should be GRATEFUL for whatever CHARITY LIE-berals care to throw at them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


After all..............................


rescuing people costs money.................................................


and ALL THE MONEY BELONGS TO LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So WHO DARES to make a claim on LIE-beral gravy?????????????????????????????


And the ONLY DEFENSE LIE-berals offer to these points is MORE LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scheer rolls out an ambitious defence agenda, but critics ask: Where's the money?

A little joke used to make its way around the Harper Conservative government every time National Defence presented Andrew Scheer's former boss with the bills for new equipment — about how Stephen Harper would emit an audible 'gulp' of alarm when they crossed his desk.
Scheer, in the first of a series of election-framing speeches for the Conservatives, pledged yesterday to wrap his arms around Canada's allies, take the politics out of defence procurement, buy new submarines, join the U.S. ballistic missile defence program and expand the current military mission in Ukraine in an undefined way.
What was absent from the Conservative leader's speech — a greatest-hits medley of road-tested Conservative policy favourites, blended with jabs at the Trudeau government's record — was an answer to the first question his supporters usually ask on these occasions:
How are you going to pay for it?
Deficit hawk or defence hawk?
The Liberals have set the federal government on course to increase defence spending by 70 per cent by 2027. The cost of what Scheer is proposing — submarines and missile defence — would have to be shoehorned into that framework somehow. Either that, or he'd have to radically redesign the current defence spending program.
Scheer's speech was greeted with raised eyebrows by more than one defence sector observer. "When he starts talking about deficits, you can kiss all that goodbye," said Stephen Saideman, a professor of international affairs at Carleton University.
"In other speeches, he talked about being a deficit hawk. That would have real implications for the defence stuff."
The Harper government increased defence spending during the Afghan war and made a series of promises to revitalize the military, but ended up cutting its budget and postponing projects in order to eliminate the deficit.
'Harper all over again'
Saideman said Scheer's speech did not offer an ironclad guarantee that he'd avoid doing the same thing, and was even inaccurate in its characterization of the Liberals' record on defence spending.
A full half to two-thirds of the defence and foreign policy vision Scheer laid out, he said, was "Harper all over again" — but with some surprising differences.
His embrace of allies was much warmer than it was with the previous Conservative crowd, which tended to look upon NATO with a jaundiced eye.
"I will reinvigorate Canada's role in the alliances we share with our democratic allies. This includes existing alliances like NORAD, NATO, the Commonwealth, La Francophonie and the Five Eyes, but it will also include overtures to India and Japan," Scheer said.
He also pledged a Conservative government would do more in Eastern Europe.
"This will include expanding upon the current missions to support Ukraine and providing Ukraine's military with the equipment they need to defend their borders," said the Conservative leader.
Scheer didn't say in his speech what he wants Canada to do in Eastern Europe that it isn't doing now — short of putting combat troops on the front line of Ukraine's breakaway eastern districts, or selling offensive weapons to Kiev. Scheer did promise to take the lead on a potential United Nations peacekeeping mission, a proposal that has been out there in the international community for months and has largely gone nowhere.
Other ideas that often go nowhere filled out the rest of Scheer's speech — like the promise of a fix for the Canadian military's complex, cumbersome system for buying equipment.
Politicians are to blame, Scheer said.
"Military procurement in Canada is hyper-politicized, to our detriment," he said. "By playing politics with these matters, governments have diminished the important responsibility to adequately and expediently equip the Armed Forces."
To accept that argument, one must set aside his party's favourite rallying cry during the politically blistering F-35 debate of half a dozen years ago: If you don't support the plane, you don't support the troops.
Politics-free procurement?
Michael Byers, a University of British Columbia defence policy expert, said removing politics from procurement decisions would be a fantastic step forward, one that could save taxpayers boatloads of money by doing away with pet projects and regional interests.
"It's an admirable goal, but he would be the first prime minister ever to take the politics out of defence procurement," he said. "So, I'm skeptical about whether he would actually do so ... I take that statement with a very large grain of salt."
The absence of a clear fiscal pledge also troubles Byers, who noted that replacing Canada's Victoria-class submarines with either German or Swedish-built boats would be expensive. So would participation in ballistic missile defence, which has various levels of participation from research and development all the way up to anti-missile radar and batteries.
It is, he said, all about the dollars.
"I think that when we talk about defence spending and defence budgets, we have to talk about real money going out the door in terms of signed contracts," said Byers. "And neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals have been able to deliver much in the way of signed contracts for the last 20 years."

Federal government looks to ease requirements for fighter-jet makers after U.S. complaints

The federal government is planning to loosen its industrial requirements for fighter-jet makers in the $19-billion competition to replace Canada's aging CF-18s.
The planned modification follows recent U.S. complaints that the previous criteria violated Canada's obligations as one of nine partner countries in the development of the F-35, one of the small handful of planes expected in the competition.
Yet the proposed change has sparked complaints from some of the companies whose planes will be competing against the F-35, who say the new approach goes too far in the other direction.
Canada has long required companies bidding on major defence contracts to commit to re-investing back into the country, with those unable to make such a contractual commitment seeing their bids tossed out...…….Much more in the link

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh HOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


How TRULY remarkable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The LIE-beral future is now so bleak and desolate you have SWITCHED your allegiance to GREENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And anybody who looks honestly into Green party policy will recognize THEY ARE WORSE than LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






How much political trouble can we get into if we implement electoral reform and proportional representation (call it PR) under LIE-beral supervision? The Green Party is MOST excited about PR as they expect to be BIG WINNERS under PR. Of course most Cdns will be BIG LOSERS if Greens get what they desire! Consider these statements taken from Green Party policy statements, with some comments of my own in brackets):

Sustainable Economy. Because tomorrow is serious business.

(Yes- the article is 4 years old- but NO significant element of Green party policy has been updated in that time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Canada is teetering on a recession for the second time since Stephen Harper became prime minister. His ill-advised political pledge to eliminate the deficit he created, just in time for this election, is now risking a deepening recession.

(Harper is the most LIED ABOUT leader in Cdn history! And CATCH the Green assertion that Harper was UNWISE to limit the deficits!!!!!!)

(Greens are clearly excited about deficit financing. They have learned NOTHING from NDP leader Bob Rae and the Rae Days that resulted when Boob tried to spend us rich- as Our idiot Boy Justin is now trying and FAILING to do! Nor have GREENS learned from the economic chaos that has enveloped the European PIGS-led by Greece!)

We are one of the wealthiest nations in the world in every sense of the word. Today, our economy produces 50 percent more wealth per capita than it did a generation ago.

(Too bad Greens did not calculate what our economy would be producing if we had to STOP borrowing and start PAYING BACK what we have borrowed! Greens IGNORE the debt disaster that is stalking us and getting CLOSER!)

Nevertheless, Canadians are feeling more squeezed economically than ever before. Despite a shift to two-income households, the current generation of young families faces increasing costs for housing, education, and childcare, and unprecedented household debt.

(This is what happens when you live beyond your means and are beholden to a cabal of powerful civil service unions that are holding the rest of us to ransom for their gravy! And this is another reason for our economy to LOOK healthy-average out the $95 grand a teacher gets with the $40 grand an ordinary person gets and it comes out to a respectable LOOKING Cdn national “average income” -but the teacher is the only one happy or comfortable and such poisoned averages let Greens and LIE-berals pretend the economy is better than it really is!)

Meanwhile, our political leaders repeat the mantra that government cupboards are bare. Deep cuts in the tax rate for large corporations have led to a hoarding of cash in big business bank accounts. The Former Governor of the Bank of Canada called it “dead money” – and there’s a lot of it. Over $600 billion, equivalent to 32 percent of our GDP, is held in corporate bank accounts – not being re-invested, not working at all. Dead money. Old-line parties have ignored places to fund needed programs and instead claim there is no new money for health care services, education, pensions, infrastructure, public safety, or scientific research.

(Greens spout the sort of economic madness last heard at Communist Party rallies in Moscow-before the collapse of Soviet Union. All political parties are under HUGE PRESSURE to produce MORE JOBS and they all employ the same bait-LOWER TAXES. You cannot play the World Monopoly game without money!)

(As for the idea that money in bank savings accounts is “DEAD” - do Greens not understand that banks EARN MONEY be lending bank deposits out at INTEREST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(But wait- ALL Cdn Socialists know that interest rates MUST be kept low - or else the Cdn govt debts will be UN-MANAGEABLE!! This money in savings accounts is not producing real profits- because LIE-berals will not allow higher rates- thus they are screwing investors, pensioners living on fixed incomes and the civil service union HOGS who OWN most of the bank stocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(LIE-berals and their less intelligent cousins of NDP and Greens are talking themselves in CIRCLES!! Socialist concepts of fiscal responsibility have all the charm and efficiency of a Black Hole sucking up EVERYTHING IN REACH- and making it DISAPPEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Greens refer to money held in corporate accounts as `dead`-this is NOT the case-that money is what allows our banking system to continue being regarded as SOLVENT and more stable than banks in other countries! We certainly can not count on ordinary Cdns to save that kind of money-not without a gun to their heads! And corporations exist for the sole purpose of making MORE money-give them a real opportunity and watch them jump for it USING that `dead` money! Further, Greens IGNORE the reality that much of that money is tied to company stocks held by Cdns-if you waste that money stupidly then Cdns suffer.)

There is a serious disconnect between the unprecedented wealth produced by the Canadian economy and the increasing economic insecurity of Canadians.

(That `disconnect` is solely the result of MASSIVE transfers of wealth from ordinary Cdns into the pockets of Working Family civil service union Hogs- aided and abetted by colossal BORROWING!! The money borrowed only exists on paper yet by the magic of LIE-beral accounting- BORROWED MONEY that will take CENTURIES and multiple generations of Cdns to pay off- is transformed by LIE-beral accounting into REAL and CURRENT GRAVY for HOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Ontari-owe LIE-berals have made promises to their high school teachers totaling FIFTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS! If this money is not paid by LIE-berals by about 2018 then high school teacher pension plan will go BANKRUPT! We did not have the money when LIE-berals made the promises and we don’t have it now. LIE-berals cannot shovel OUR money fast enough into the 19 civil service union pension plans to keep them solvent-so great is union greed for gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(Wynne-bag Ontari-owe LIE-berals made such stupendous efforts to pay our HOGS that it has destroyed the Ontari-owe LIE-beral party!! Our idiot Boy Justin and his federal LIE-berals are following down the same ruinous road!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(And now Greens want to travel the same insane road!! Greens must accept that offering us LIE-beral style policies will ruin what`s left of our economy. Teacher Hog pensions are so lavish that a teacher can make as much or MORE money while retired than they ever earned while working!)

We need to immediately build those sectors that benefit from the lower Canadian dollar – manufacturing, tourism, value-added forest products and cultural industries.

(What a joke! Manufacturing in Canada is in a holding pattern-waiting to see if LIE-berals are stupid enough to go ahead with their Carbon crap and trade scam-the one Greens STRONGLY support! The Carbon crap is NOT a plan to save the environment; it is nothing more than a GIANT slush fund that LIE-berals plan to dip into so they can BUY Hog votes. If LIE-berals-or Greens do Not exempt Cdn manufacturing companies from the Carbon tax then they can wave BYE-BYE to ALL our manufacturing jobs as they flee to other countries where taxes are lower and carbon is ignored .)

(And what of tourism? Travel by air plane is the dirtiest way to travel-do Greens really want INCREASED air travel-with its VAST increase in air pollution and attendant rise in use of fossil fuel? And what of the recent proposal of Toronto council to put a tax on hotel rooms? How does increasing cost benefit tourism? But Silly Hall must buy Hog votes just like LIE-berals-so hike the new taxes!)

(Greens want to support `cultural industries`? That`s nice. Does anybody remember `Bubbles Galore`-the LAME soft porn film shot in Canada using the newly created LIE-beral inspired film credits? Or how about the shit art-literally-that was featured in The Globe newspaper a a decade back? LIE-beral inspired artists bought a dozen pairs of cotton slacks and then ate a nice range of foods-and then shit in their pants-some were over achievers and shit several times in the pants! The pants were then put on display at an art gallery that got 80percent of its operating budget from LIE-beral govt! The shitty pants-with their colourful variety of textures and range of application methods-some lightly done and others caked in place- were supposed to be some sort of parody of life and death and creativity. Do we want MORE bureaucrats producing shit art and soft porn? That rat Pierre Trudeau stated one good thing: “that the state had no business in the bedrooms of the nation!” I agree and add: the state should stay away from the art business too!)

We need to embrace the 21st century economic revolution of clean technology.

Canada is falling far behind the U.S. in productivity. More R & D and innovation will come from manufacturing and clean technology.

(Apparently Greens have not noticed that we are a branch plant economy. Sweden can sell us VOLVO cars because Volvo puts home based Swedish interests FIRST. Same sort of thing with Honda, Kia, Mercedes. Astin Martin. So called Cdn auto makers take their orders direct from Detroit generally and from Flint Michigan specifically. Cdn industry is OWNED by foreigners-and THEY dictate what we may make ands where we can sell it. The same sort of rules apply to value added forest products-we have sold ourselves to foreigners for quick economic fixes and now our hands are tied.)

Secure Canada’s economic leadership over the coming decade by creating a fund to invest in skills-training, education, energy efficiency, renewables, and emerging technologies.

(Apparently Greens have never tried to get hired as an apprentice in Canada. There are ALREADY all manner of colleges delighted to train us in all sorts of things-but there are NO JOBS. Going ever deeper into debt to train people for jobs that don’t exist is NOT a solution! Europeans have a much better apprenticeship training regimen than we do and yet their debts and unemployment rates are much higher than ours? Greens offer no answer regarding WHY? I say its DEBT that hobble s European economies-and ours as well!)

We will capitalize this fund by expanding revenue through returning corporate tax rates on large corporations to the 2009 level (19 percent), eliminating tax havens and tax credits used by the extremely wealthy, taxing pollution and waste, increasing the efficiency of our tax system, and working with provinces to increase resource extraction royalties.

(Oh great, LIE-berals are busy trying frantically to BRIBE companies to stay here and Greens want to ADD to the tax burden and ruin everything!)

The time has come to redesign our tax system for the 21st century economy. As a starting point, in line with fundamental principles of fairness, efficiency and equity, we will eliminate the exemptions, special cases and tax breaks for favoured interests. These boutique tax cuts have cluttered our tax code, needlessly increasing its complexity. We must ensure the tax system helps, not hinders, Canadians. These changes will ensure that we capture and secure economic benefits for all Canadians.

(Greens have not noticed that LIE-berals derive their votes from a cabal of powerful union Hogs-and both Hogs and corporations must be bribed with tax breaks or they wont play nice with govt! And for the 55 plus percent of Cdns who are too disgusted to vote-politicians calm that herd by offering up more assorted `boutique` tax benefits. Eliminating `boutique` tax cuts will ensure that Hogs and their dependants will maul Greens in any election-at every opportunity. Hogs are already FURIOUS at LIE-berals for holding back shipments of new gravy-and Greens seriously expect to win votes by taxing the wealthy even further?)

Canada is one of the safest places in the world to invest. Rather than investing abroad, the majority of the Canadian Sustainable Generations Fund will be invested here in Canada – in Canadian jobs, education, infrastructure, small-business, and communities.

(If only it was that easy-democratic govts around the world have been `managing` and `stimulating` their economies for decades-and the only result has been soaring DEBT! More govt is the problem-NOT the solution!)

(Greens are offering us nothing but a half baked melange of poorly thought out schemes spiced with old and disgraced former LIE-beral money management policies! Do we really want to turn the clock bac k to the Pierre Trudeau era? There is a reason why he told us all to Fuddle Duddle and then gave that Salmon Arm salute....and Greens want us to return to that?)
