It was those "red" Tories who kept me in the fold. Once the money-first crowd took over, I let them have their septic system

NOHP is leftie? I think you've taken a left ... from brains and common sense
Looks like a few more of us jumped ship a couple of months ago too.

Re: Red Tories favourites in race to replace Harper
A so-called "Red Tory" is an electable Tory.
Such a small portion of the Canadian population resonates with the "very right" of Canadian Conservatism (15-20% at best) that the Conservatives will only get elected to throw out the Liberals. Actually, it's always been that way and the Tories only form governments when the Liberals have become utterly morally spent after decades in power. That doesn't sound like much of strategy, to me.

Re: Red Tories favourites in race to replace Harper
That's because it's hard to tell the difference between a red tory and a liberal, so may as well just keep voting for the devil you know in the Liberals.

They're a pretty smug bunch of self-satisfied and entitled cronies. Watch your wallet ... and your daughters.

Tories want probe into public workers who leaked complaints about Harper government
Tories want probe into public workers who leaked complaints about Harper government
The Conservatives are calling for an investigation into claims that Canada Revenue Agency employees teamed up with an advocacy group for a report that alleges mismanagement and political interference in tax investigations that cost billions in uncollected revenue.
Conservative MP Ziad Aboultaif, the party’s national revenue critic, said the involvement of public servants in such a report during an election is “disturbing” and shouldn’t be ignored just because a new government was elected.
“I would hope that the Minister of National Revenue realizes the seriousness of this and is investigating the supposed wrongdoing, not ignoring it because the incident took place under the previous government,” said Aboultaif.
“There is a principle involved here; it is not about party politics. Canadians expect their public service to be both professional and neutral.”
The report, by Canadians for Tax Fairness, was based on 28 interviews with former and current auditors and other tax specialists. They alleged the agency is mismanaged, undermined by major budget cuts, and that it targets ordinary taxpayers over the “big-time tax cheats” hiding money offshore.
Public servants are supposed to be non-partisan and loyal to the elected government. They face even stricter limits on their behaviour during an election.
Aboultaif argued neutrality is part of the job and that public servants give up the right to criticize government policies when they join the public service.
“Public servants take an oath of office and agree to abide by a code of ethics while employed in the civil service,” he said.

I agree with this in principle as long as there is an adequate internal appeal process in place that is equally independent if the Government. Without that, they are effectively forced to rebel as they did.

Yeah, conspiracy theorists abusing their access within the CRA shouldn't be investigated!
It was a cabal of Jewish bankers assisted by Monsanto and Winchester.

Meanwhile, the Liberals obviously desperate for money to pay for the refugees, had CRA do a re-assessment on my taxes on Nov.5( they sent no notice of reassessment) and sent me a bill saying that I owe them the almost $1000 I got in GST rebates and provincial credits this year.
The f*ckers arbitrarily changed an income amount, gave no reason as to why it was changed and said, "You owe us".
When I called my district office, they had no idea why it was changed either.
Funny thing is, the last time I had a hassle with the CRA, the Libtards were in charge as well. They viciously audited me (again with no notice) and arbitrarily added a rather large income amount and sent me a bill for $28,000. It took 5 years of legal battles with the a$$holes to get that cleared. I guess Martin REALLLLLY wanted to balance that budget.
Liberals: So desperate for money they'll actually try and steal it right from your pocket.

Forget the probe! Once the "bloom comes off the rose", if it does, things will settle down and there will be a realization and appreciation of the attributes of the Harper Gov't.
