Hey, if a burglar gets into your house and steals your stuff, it's okay as long as he gives it back at some point right? Both Wallin and Duffy agreed to give the money back. We just have to find some smarter crooks.

I'm going to start robbing banks, for the ones that don't work out I can give the money back!

This is the way business is done by all politicians of all stripes. Put out unpopular press releases on a Friday in the hope the media and the public will become disinterested by Monday or better, on Tuesday if its a long weekend. Holidays work well for this sort of thing too. It's not right, but until the media and the people of Canada demand more of these self serving A-Holes in Ottawa it's not likely to change any time soon. Even if Prince Justin were appointed to sit on the throne.

To go see Santa Claus and come home with even more neatly wrapped, colourful Socialist gifts to appease the Canadian electorate.

Harper is the best damn Socialist we've ever had.

Exactly! And just saying "oh well that's just the way it is" is giving up, as far as I'm concerned. We should demand better. We flipping deserve better.

How pathetic is this, even when the conservatives have a "majority" Harper still needs to shut the House down to feel comfortable.

What's next, getting rid of elections because of how inconvenient they are for the conservative agenda?

Harper was also asked whether he would be leading the Conservatives into the next election, a question that elicited a chuckle from the prime minister.

"The answer to the last question is, of course, yes," he said as partisan supporters cheered.

"I'm actually disappointed you feel the need to ask that question."

Of course he intends to run again, having another Prime Minister in Harper Canada would be just silly.

I was or you had another hallucination?

Pete, Pete, Pete...

No, no no brother...you simply made a mistake. You were wrong and missed this thread in Canadian Politics. A mistake. We've all done it. It's just that by reminding us that you found the article so nauseating to the anti-harperites and figured (wrongly of course, that whoever they are anyway), they would just try to let the news slip by unnoticed and perhaps it would simply go away. Your opportunity to sorta shine. We forgive your mistake. You were just wrong. It's not the end of the world. Probably a little embarassing for you but that's easily overcome with our help. If you let us help you.

You'll recall how we suggested that you start your own threads rather than moan and complain about those of others, and believe me Pete, we thank you for your good effort. As it happened though, yours was just a re-post and somewhat late. A little wee mistake on your part. Not the end of the world. These things happen from time to time.

While making the group dig in your own thread however, you wondered why (perhaps none of your CONfriends didn't have the stomach to post it) there just was no sign of it. Well, despite your ego, voilà, there it was anyway. And of course...c'est dommage.

Not only that, but it was presented by (what I'll take a guess as) a small 'c' conservative and well-respected member here at CC. We had been talking about it for ages by the time you managed to stumbled-in.

So let me make a leap here if you will Pete...upon seeing the headline in The Globe and Mail (which you omitted as a reference for your source, out of integrity and internet honesty and decorum and all...another mistake...so I'll include it here) when you staggered home or woke up with your cheek glazed to your couch, whilst prairie surfing, you made the mistake. You were wrong. That's all. We fixed your mistake up for you.

Not to worry. It's just a mistake. A mistake. We all make them.

Might I offer a light musical interlude with hopes that it might enable you to chill out some, man.

Peace out brother and don't be mad, it's just a mistake.



Oh, and if you'll allow me, I offer you in friendship and peace, this uplifting self-help-type melody...it basically tells a story about keeping one's head up in spite of hardships, mistakes or difficulties. You don't need to know the words...purse your lips...thanks pete...enjoy your night again.

Prorogation shows Harper afraid of questions, Mulcair says

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's decision to prorogue Parliament until later this fall shows he is afraid to answer the opposition's questions, Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair said Tuesday.

"Stephen Harper, for the fourth time, has prorogued the Parliament of Canada, depriving elected officials of their ability to do what they were put there to do, which is to ask questions of the Canadian government," Mulcair told reporters in Montreal Tuesday.

"Mr. Harper is afraid to answer the questions that we have for him."

That's funny. SOmehow I doubt Mulcair and his merry band of freeloaders even enters Harper's thoughts.
