Good God

Many thoughts after reading this headline, this morning: Cannon and Baird next in line, if Harper were to die. First, is this a joke? Second, this is Harper's best insurance against assassination. Finally, it reads like the lineup for the world's smallest parade: two clowns and no floats. Jebus, I need a coffee.

Here'sTo John Baird

The only vegetarian cabinet minister to have ever graduated from Queens, who isn't a member of the elite.

Congratulations John Baird

For winning Parliamentarian of the Year. Your performance yesterday at the Government Operations Committee, was just one more example of the hard work you have put in, day in and day out, over the last few years, to make the House of Commons the place it is today. I can't think of an MP who better symbolizes this Parliament. Bravo sir. Well done.

Why Is An Election Inevitable

The press is a bit "skeptical" about the Tory view that an election is inevitable. They ask a very, very good question. The Tories have a minority government and need the support of only one other party. Whether we have an election or not is up to the government's willingness to negotiate with other parties, not the Liberals. The Liberals alone have no ability to bring down the government. Why won't they work with the other parties in parliament to avoid an election? John Baird ran away from the press to avoid answering that question.

Do You Think Baird Has Read The Polls?

Transport Minister, John Baird, to Toronto. "They should fuck off."

Update:One of the more bizarre elements of this story is the idea that Toronto does not qualify for the grant because the manufacturing jobs created as a result, are in Thunder Bay, rather than Toronto. Perhaps Mr. Baird can explain what is wrong with Thunder Bay? Aren't they Canadians too?

Baird's Turn On The World Stage A Critical Disaster

The reviews are in and Baird was a flop. My favorite line:

It is hard to argue that one is building bridges when they so obviously lead nowhere.

As for the fallout, there won't be any, at least in the short run. The reality is, Baird did his master's bidding and so will be more popular than ever with Psycho Steve and the Hothouse Gang over at the Blogging Tories. His run will only end when this road production of the Little Shop of Horrors leaves town.

Better Than Any Poll

This editorial by the Sun tells me that the public is not at all happy with Psycho Steve and his merry band. I never, ever, thought I would see the day when the Sun called anything John Baird did "shameful". The only reason I can think the Sun is putting this out into the world, is they are hearing from their readers and their readers are not liking what is going on in Bali.

Instant Update: Stephen Harper's paranoid rantings about Liberals on judicial bodies destroying the nuclear industry has trickled down and out to other corners of his dark empire. Yesterday, one of John Baird's security goons did the whole protection racket routine on youth delegates to the Bali conference. You know what I am talking about. He confronted a group of peaceful protesters and gave them the old "Nice protest you have here, too bad if you went to an Indonesian prison for it." Shameful. And then Harper's personal press flack did two things, first he tried to spin the threat as concern for the kids welfare and two tried to spin this as yet another case of Liberal "subversion". These guys are so fucking crazy it just hurts to watch.

Is Baird Losing It?

It is just bizarre that John Baird would continue to use the Liberals as his shield, even when the international community is criticizing his government's negotiating position. Everyone knows the Liberals were useless on the climate change file, but as an excuse, they are past their "best before" date.

Note To John Baird

I wish you would just shut the hell up. You and your government are doing nothing, absolutely nothing, to stave off what is most certainly the biggest man-made disaster in history. To continue to blather (in a very Liberal way, I must say) that you care about the planet, is nausea inducing. It matters not one whit if we have jobs but no water, or pump every last drop of oil but don't have access to food. Please shut up and if there is some humanity deep inside that black, partisan heart of yours, do something useful for the generations that will follow us. Thank You.
