Note To Ezra Levant

Dear Ezra,

I saw your latest, "humorous" offering in today's Post. Congratulations for completely missing the point. Let me spell it out for you, since you seem to need some help. The dead ducks are tragic, but that's not why people are upset with what is going on in Northern Alberta. People are nervous because they believe that neither the oil sands developers nor the Alberta government care about the human beings who share the environment with the ducks. I believe that people are right to believe this. You can joke all you want about turducken, but no one, (excluding readers of small dead animals and the western stardard) is laughing with you.

Expect To Hear This A Lot

Bob Rae In the House on Thursday.

Mr. Speaker, the UN representative also confirmed that there would be elections in Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010. As we know, Elections Canada played an important role in the 2004 Afghan elections.

Could the minister tell me whether Elections Canada still has the confidence of the government and the minister to do the necessary work in Afghanistan?

I think, if we ever have an election again, every reporter on the campaign trail with the Tories (provided they are allowed within 300 metres of Psycho Steve), should ask whether the PM has confidence in Election Canada's ability to run a free and fair election, in Canada? They should ask him this every day, until he answers the question, yes or no. H/T to Aaron Wherry.

We Supported The Troops, Until We Didn't

Aaron Wherry asks quite a good question today. Why doesn't Peter MacKay support the troops?

Why We Fight

Let's see how the "Four Freedoms" are doing in Afghanistan, these days. Freedom of speech and expression. Freedom to Worship God in his own way. Freedom from want. Freedom from fear. We have been in Afghanistan for years and things are going sideways if not backwards. It is long past time for a rethink, no?

Update:Although it isn't one of the four freedoms, we are also supposedly fighting to establish good governance, on behalf of the Afghan people. The theory is, if the government is good and decent, the people won't turn to the Taliban. How's that working out?

Irony, Oh Irony

Now that the Harper government is now negotiating with the Taliban, will the Blogging Tories issue a formal apology to Jack Layton for smearing him for years? Hint, I am not holding my breath.

And What Of Dion?

Well, Dion's talents are wasted in Ottawa. He should apply for a post with Dick Cheney's interrogation squads. The man has a talent for torture. His plan is a straightforward one, for someone who practices torture. He will make his victims (the Canadian people) suffer so much under this government, that they when they break (just give it a few more turns of the screw), they will come to identify their torturer as their only savior. I tell you it's classic.

Maybe I Misjudged Him

Maybe Stephen Harper is really a teacher. Maybe he is being true to his libertarian roots, by teaching Canadians what a fascist dictatorship would look like, in an effort to get them to reject the "idea" of government altogether. Or, maybe he is just a control freak who hates anyone who disagrees with him. At this point, who really cares?
