So Much For Mr. Ethics

Steve loves to pretend he is Mr. Clean, when in reality he is just Brian Mulroney with a bad haircut. Forget about Fortier and Emerson (please!). Forget about the hundred or so quickie appointments during the Christmas break. Instead ask yourself, does the excuse "it's just too hard" to sign the strong ethics portions of the Accountability Act into law, pass the laugh test? As Steve says about some else these days, "He just didn't get it done".

Paul Wells Says It Will Work

The it, of course, is the Harper/Charest pact that will see the feds throw open the vault for Quebec. Now, I am just a goof from the provinces, but I wonder, does the fact that everyone knows this is coming risk raising expectations in Quebec so much that no amount of money will satisfy? We will see.

Harper's Reaction To Global Warming Report...

Made in the U.S.A. Note the talking points,"unintended consequences", "job losses", "lead to the transfer of jobs and industry abroad", "You would then have the U.S. economy damaged, on the one hand, and the same emissions, potentially even worse emissions", "we are a small contributor to the overall, when you look at the rest of the world". All of these could easily have come out of Steve's mouth. Oh wait, they did. I wonder if there is a morning conference call between the White House, Exxon and 24 Sussex.

The Better Way

Just so my readers don't think I'm a complete commie, this isn't actually a bad idea. If it promotes public transit use and makes peoples lives a little more convenient, go for it, I say.

The RCMP Are Canada's Augean Stables

Well, yes I do want to find out about possible RCMP interference in our electoral process. I also want to know what really happened in Mayerthorpe. Any normal organization would, you would think, want to know how and why four of its members were slaughtered. The RCMP? Not so much, by the look of it.

Whining Steve

I saw Steve on Newsworld whining about how hard it is to be him. How the other parties want him to do something about global warming but never propose anything. Well Steve as a public service to you, because you are obviously too stupid to do it yourself, I give you this and this. Now you may not like their plans, but that is a long way from saying they have nothing. Stop lying. Grow up, do your job, or step down. Wanker.

Mr. Harper's Fractured Fairytales (With Apologies To Rocky And Bullwinkle)

News Item: PM: Emissions must be `stabilized’

Stephen Harper happens upon a group of people standing around a tub of water. The tap is going full blast and a man is face down in the tub and is clearly drowning. "Someone pull the man from the water or pull the plug so the man won't drown!" cries a woman. Mr. Harper hears this cry for help and is quick to jump into the fray.

"Now, now" replies Harper. "You are clearly not the Prime Minister of Canada. What you are proposing is way too much work. If I have to pull the man out of the water, I will get tired and sweaty. If I pull the plug, I will get my clothes wet and I have a meeting later. As you can see, neither of your suggestions is realistic. That's why you are just a dreamer and I am Prime Minister", he said with a mischievous smirk. He continued, "Why not just turn the water down so it at least doesn't spill over the side of the tub? That way none of us will be inconvenienced in the slightest".

"But the man will drown!", said the woman.

"That's the price I am willing to pay" said clever Stephen. And with that, Mr. Harper went on his way, happy to have been of assistance.

Update:If any NDP members read this, can you ask Jack how he can associate himself with a group of people that, after all this, is still pushing 'intensity targets'?
