My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. Jack Layton

Calling Warren Kinsella
The world (meaning me) is waiting for Warren's reaction to the PM's salvo against Jean Chretien. Psycho Steve had better watch out, he won't like Warren when he is angry.

Clement And The Doctors
I am sure there will be many who will be puzzled by the Health Minister's turn at the CMA, yesterday, wherein he attacked the ethic of doctors. I am not one of them. Although it seems counterintuitive to be attacking doctors and Insite, there is some logic to the government's strategy.
This government is led by a group that believes in narrowcasting. A proponent of Insite, writing in today's Star, inadvertently gives us a clue into the government's strategy:

Harm reduction programs enjoy broad public acceptance; in Ontario, for example, 60 per cent of adults support safe, supervised drug injection. That level of acceptance rises if these facilities increase drug users' contact with health and social workers.60% of adults accept harm reduction. That means 40% do not. This is the group the Tories are after. They know that in our "democratic" system, 40% of the vote represents a "majority". Let the other parties go after the majority of the public. The Tories don't care about the majority of the public. They only care about a majority in the House of Commons. Recommend this Post

Feist And The Monsters
If you don't love this, you probably vote Tory (Plus you are probably wondering whether she got any of "your money" to do this).

The MSM Still Doesn't Understand
From today's Globe editorial on the "In and Out Hearings":
Canadians have the misfortune to be ruled (if one can call it that) by the most radically anti-government party in the history of the country (rivaling the Mike Harris abortion that is still taking lives in Ontario) . Their very actions show that they do not believe in democracy, nor even in the rule of law. They are revolutionaries who want to destroy our nation.
Update: Just in case people are wondering why I am referencing the Harris government, it was their brilliant idea to get government out of the business of regulating propane storage sites (and boilers and elevators, God help us). Industry can do a much better job, n'est pas? Recommend this Post
The Conservatives may be pleased with their role in making a farce of a committee that has them in its sights. But in the process, they have also undermined the entire system that Mr. Harper purports to be concerned about - and not just for the duration of this Parliament. (emphasis mine)The MSM has to realize that it is the plan of the group of radicals controlling our government to discredit the very idea of government, since they see government as anathema. They know that Canadians do not share that radical view, so they must be conditioned to view government as stupid, wasteful, impotent and seized with insane games playing. Hence the antics this week.

Harper: "I'm The Decider"
Really, Psycho Steve needs to stop channeling his hero. He passed a law intending to handcuff future prime ministers when it comes to calling elections. He should live with it or change the law.

Tory Election Plan?
From today's Globe:
On one positive note for the Tories, the poll suggests that Conservative supporters are more likely than Liberals to actually show up to cast a ballot whenever the election is called.That sounds right to me. The Tories have been ruthless about ruling for their base and attacking the credibility of the Liberals (such as it is). Their one and only hope is to push the turnout to historic lows in the hope of winning by default. What a pathetic group of thugs we have as a government. Recommend this Post
Fully 73 per cent of respondents who intend to vote for the Conservatives said they are certain to cast ballots. Only 62 per cent of Liberals said the same.

The Tory Art Movement
This poem is more of what the Tories are looking for in art. It is rustic, earthy and promotes rural values (I can even smell the cows). The poem would probably have to be edited to remove the mention of Toronto (and the word "gaily" will have to go), but other than that, it is the height of Conservative Art.
Ode on the Mammoth Cheese
(weight over seven thousand pounds)
We have seen the Queen of cheese,
Laying quietly at your ease,
Gently fanned by evening breeze --
Thy fair form no flies dare seize.
All gaily dressed soon you'll go
To the great Provincial Show,
To be admired by many a beau
In the city of Toronto.
Cows numerous as a swarm of bees --
Or as the leaves upon the trees --
It did require to make thee please,
And stand unrivaled Queen of Cheese.
May you not receive a scar as
We have heard that Mr. Harris
Intends to send you off as far as
The great World's show at Paris.
Of the youth -- beware of these --
For some of them might rudely squeeze
And bite your cheek; then songs or glees
We could not sing o' Queen of Cheese.
We'rt thou suspended from balloon,
You'd cast a shade, even at noon;
Folks would think it was the moon
About to fall and crush them soon.
