Good choices.

Not to forget his new communications director, John Williamson, another good choice.

The midnight oil will be burning in the Lib bunker tonight. Wonder if the leaks are plugged?

Nine you say? Hmmmm.

“They were once men. Great kings of men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question. One by one, falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgul. Ring Wraiths. Neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the ring, drawn to the power of The One. They will never stop hunting you.”

“There sucking my brain, that's why I wear it. Don't tell me you don't see them!”

Very appropriate.

A quote from a fantasy adventure film, to illustrate liberals/Liberals live in a fantasy land.

Deep. Irrelevant and totally insensible…but very deep.

I don't know about anyone else but Dan McTeague owes the PM of this country an apology IMO. He has referred to his appointments as “sleazy” on National TV. That's not acceptable.
How far down are the Liberals going to take themselves?

Impressive CVs.

Of the nine appointees, only three have direct links to the Conservative Party, yet the CBC's Julie I desperately need a good hairdresser Van Dusen keeps repeating that PM Harper has made patronage appointments – although, to her credit, she did say that all other PMs had made similar appointments.

Excuse me while I vomit. Three of the appointments (Demers, Ogilvie, Patterson) are decent. The others are about rewarding hacks, and anyone who believes these people will spending the next eight years fighting for Senate Reform before resigning on schedule is out of their mind. It’ll be interesting to see who they make Party President now that Plett can’t do it anymore (probably Marciano, which will probably result in an even less democratic policy and nominations process), and who will end up as national councillor for Quebec now that Judith Seidman (the only name up there with no photograph) is gone. I guess she got there by being the third highest ranking PC in Quebec to back the Harper leadership campaign. Number one, Fortier, already got to the Senate, while number two, Brian Mitchell, ended up on the board of the CBC.

You mean like everyone of your posts?

Liz, I didn't think the bar could get any lower after the reformatory sleaze that has been proffered. He may have just stayed above it.

Liberals back down on EI, who would have thought that would happen? LOL

Ignatieff is worse than the hapless Dion was whom Iggy eagerly helped to toss under the bus.

Do you hear that sound Iggy? It's the same bus coming for you.

Iggy is a laughing stock, a vacuous windsock, an empty suit, the puppet plaything of the Bloc Torontois Champaigne Sipping Liberal Socialist Elites.

What a clown.

January Liberal leadership convention?

“A conservative government will not appoint to the senate anyone who does not have a mandate from the people.”
(Conservative Party website during 2006 election)

“As everyone in this room knows, it has become a right of passage for aspiring leaders and prime ministers to promise Senate reform – on their way to the top – but once they are elected, Senate reform quickly falls to the bottom of the Government's agenda. Nothing ever gets done.”
(Stephen Harper, Speech on Senate Reform before Senate Committee, September 7, 2006)

“I don't plan to appoint senators; that's not my intention.”
(Stephen Harper, Cornwall Standard-Freeholder, January 14, 2006)

“Stephen Harper will cease patronage appointments to the Senate. Only candidates elected by the people will be named to the Upper House.”
(Stephen Harper Leadership Website, January 15, 2004)

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/li…

brucey, I see your (self)esteemed leader was backing down today on EI which is obviously a statement that was understood as backing off any showdown over EI. Of course you would highlight the Libs comment, although I think you should wait until their caucus meeting is over in a few days.

From the Globe and Mail;

“Having built up employment insurance reform as the single issue that avoided a summer election, Liberals now say it's not an issue worthy of triggering a vote in the fall.

Liberal Senator David Smith, a co-chairman of the national Liberal campaign, said even if his party's talks with the government fail to produce an agreement, that alone will not be enough to warrant an election.”

Tewwwwiiii is lost in space.

Linda (Frum) Sokolowski – Awesome pick. Sorry David, sis is a level above now, lol. All jokes aside this is my favorite non partisan pick.

Little upset there was not more partisan Conservatives picked, to push reform of the senate. But I guess that is what seperates PM Harper from the Liberals. And the three partisans appointed(Finely,Olsen,Plett) will be a wrecking crew in the senate..

Very Happy the Big Guy, Mr.Finley is in, same with the wonderful Mrs. Olsen(These two deserve there place in the senate IMHO).

On the Jacques Demers pick, I think there is a new sheriff in town.

On Don Plett, this is very interesting, who will be the next president of the CPC? And do you know how this will come about Stephen? Congrats to Don, it is well deserved also..

Anyway great day in politics, for a partisan CPC politcal junkie, with all the changes going on. All the best to the new senators and the new PMO and CPC people(Non to happy about Jenni leaving PMO)…

Well, the Liberals and Tories are almost even in Senate seats now.

Why the cold sweat, Terry1?

The Liberals are gobsmacked and in panic mode. Nothing left for them to do but hurl insults.

“Nothing left for them to do but hurl insults.”

Or “vomit” in polite company – well, with a few exceptions.

Jenni leaves PMO to be the new Doug

Please don't use ad hominem attacks

Hey, hold it, Stephen.
Are you talking to me?
Where was that admonition to Terry1 and others of his ilk who constantly pollute your site with all sorts of insults, with nary a word from you?

I know that we conservatives are nearly perfect, but showing a little imperfection now and then with a catty remark, especially one which is based on truth – have you seen VanDusen hair today? – should not be censored nor censured.

I'm surprised … and frankly PO'd.

Oh yes little miss perfect…..you're not above the law here as much as you like being the goddess of toryland.

No cold sweat here…just more confirmation harpo is going to go soon.

Terry1, when I said “I know that we conservatives are nearly perfect” I was speaking with tongue firmly planted in cheek. But of course, that kind of nuance totally eludes you.

====

So what's up, Stephen? Where did my other two previous comments go? (not speaking tongue in cheek)

Stephen, where's your sense of humour? Ms. Van Dusen's hair is notoriously unkempt and as it seems to be a trademark of hers, and as she's a public personality, surely making a joke about it is permissible.

In addition to the above, Julie Van Doesn't have anything positive to say about PMSH or anyone on the CPC side of the house, ever. Why can't we have a little fun, of course at her expense, seeing as she loves to take the mickey out of the party that we support and always with that sourpuss look on her face? You'd think she could at least show a little professionalism, seeing as she is a professional journalist. I'm with Gabby on this one, and also wonder why terry1 and some of the other commenters here are seldom chastised for their ad hominems ad nauseum …

'Just wondering and making a few observations …

As for the new senators: Good for Mr. Harper! Maybe there'll be an opportunity, now, for senate reform which the Liberally-stacked Senate has blocked since PMSH proposed it. It's about time the Liberal log jam got a jolt; maybe legislation will be able to be passed that's about what's best for all Canadians, not just what's best for the Natural Ruling Party (sic) and their cronies.

Maybe there's a new day coming … I sure hope so.

Terry at #21, of course it would totally escape you that when I said “I know that we conservatives are nearly perfect” I was speaking tongue in cheek.

Stephen, I don’t know if this new format I’m seeing, listing comments in chronological order, is permanent. If it is, a great improvement over the previous format.

Your other comments should be around here somewhere; I'm haven't restricted your settings.

Little miss perfect, and as usual you missed my point.

Harper dubbed 'patronage king'
………………………………………………….

The Liberals gladly rolled out Harper quotes criticizing the Senate:

• “Despite the fine work of many individual senators, the upper house remains a dumping ground for the favoured cronies of the Prime Minister.” (Stephen Harper Leadership Website, Jan. 15, 2004)

• “A Conservative government will not appoint to the Senate anyone who does not have a mandate from the people.” (Conservative party website during 2006 election)

• “Canadians from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia remain ashamed of Canada`s senior legislative body.

• “They are ashamed the Prime Minister continues the disgraceful, undemocratic appointment of undemocratic Liberals to the undemocratic Senate to pass all too often undemocratic legislation.” (Stephen Harper, Hansard, March 7, 1996).

I'm surprised as well. We can only assume Terry1 is king of this blog, he can say what he pleases, his invectives pollute this site abusing all who support the Conservatives and the PM in particular. We can disagree without being disagreeable.

When it comes to Julie Van Doozies hair, it's hard to ignore, it's a trademark by now, she's got to be quite aware of it.

I'm truly disappointed.

So let me get this straight. Terry1 is allowed to be rude, to disrespect our PM and make comments which are nothing short of personal attacks and that's okay? Well, Stephen, I sure hate to see a good blog turn south but it is, after all, your blog and you make the decisions. Thank God Joanne is up and running again – she won't allow her blog to degenerate. So long. I enjoyed your blog but not any longer. Terry1 – give it all you've got. You may end up being the sole commenter one day.

Hypocrisy? You and your travelling companions are experts at it, Terry1.

Perhaps this bill has escaped your notice and that of your oracle, as well as that of those critical of the fact the PM has filled senate vacancies.

http://www2.parl.gc.ca/content/Senate/Bills/402…
S-224
“Second Session, Fortieth Parliament,
57 Elizabeth II, 2009
SENATE OF CANADA
BILL S-224

An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act (vacancies)
First Reading, February 5, 2009
The Honourable Senator Moore

SUMMARY
This enactment amends the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act with respect to filling vacancies in Parliament.

With respect to vacancies in the Senate, the enactment amends the Parliament of Canada Act to require the Prime Minister to recommend to the Governor General a fit and qualified person for appointment within 120 days after a vacancy happens.
” [my bolding]

In other words, the Liberal senator, I imagine with the support of other Liberal senators and other great Liberal thinkers, were ready to compel the PM to fill existing vacancies.

Now that he has done so, they cry foul.
Would they have complained if the PM had appointed Liberal hacks and bagmen?

As I posted elsewhere …
If you were entrusting someone with an important task, whom would you choose to undertake it?

1. those who have criticized practically every proposal you’ve ever made?

2. those who have referred to you (or by proxy) as a right-wing extremist neo-conservative whose values do not reflect Canadians’ values?

3. those who agree with your philosophy and trust your judgment?



It doesn’t even have to be a question asked in a political context.

Whom would any sentient human being choose to join them in carrying out an important task?

Their enemies? 

Or their friends, or at least people who share their POV?



Getting back to the PM appointing senators …

• Is appointing senators one of the PM's duties? Yes.

• Does the PM want to appoint elected senators? Yes.

• Have there been elections of senators in the provinces, from which he can draw the names of candidates? No.

• Were there vacancies in the senate that needed to be filled? Yes.

• Should the PM have refused to fill those vacancies in the name of rigid ideology? No.

• Is the PM showing the flexibility and pragmatism necessary for a good PM? In spades!

Re Gabby @ 52 minutes ago:

BRAVA! Hear! Hear!

Re my above post, Gabby @ 52 minutes ago has now become Gabby @ 56 minutes ago, etc.

While you are all patting yourselves on the back for the “good senate appointments lets review some of a Tory bloggers comments that have been applauded by Conservative MP's:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUDV3OslpmY&anno…

· On Islam: “…your religion is fucking retarded…ungrateful beligerent foreign savages…These are people who love watching beheading videos on the internet…A sick, sick religion. Basically Scientology with bombs. Pathetic whiny losers.”
· On Muslim and Pakistani immigrants: “Muslims…most of them can't even read…What we really need to do is stop immigration from Pakistan and other crazy Muslim countries filled with illiterate, violent tribal peasants…”
· On Muslim children: they are “parasites.”
· On a group of Muslim students who object to some statements by Mark Steyn: they are “motherfucking parasites.”
· On Muslims: “Muslims always have to be on top, in reverse proportion to their ability to do anything with competence or creativity.”
· On Indians: they are “parasites” who “extorted tax dollars [for] booze, smokes and junk food. Not to mention free everything else, including university educations they don't bother getting.”
· On blacks: “…there is nothing ‘compelling’ about a black man impregnating a white woman. In more than one Toronto neighbourhood, that's what they call Saturday night.”
· On the only people who can get excited about Barack Obama: “black, stupid or both.”
· On Jamaicans: “Just think of how much Jamaican immigrants contribute to our culture and economy: monotonous, illiterate music that all sounds the same, filthy hairstyles, those little tricoloured Rasta doohickies.”
· On the blacks of New Orleans: they are “pathetic losers” who cannot have their IQs raised “a single point.”
· On the poor: they are poor because they are “too lazy and stupid to a) finish high school and/or b) keep their pants on.…I don’t care about the poor. They’re no more real than Bigfoot.”
· On AIDS: “From the beginning, AIDS activism has been more about mainstreaming the gay “lifestyle” than saving lives.”
· On Sikhs: “Backward foreigners [who] shit on hand that feeds them…Unable to invent their own iconic product due to too much time spent worshipping monkeys and cows, setting women on fire and obsessing over imperceptible differences in each other's skin colour…”
· On blind people: “Giving blind people real jobs…is not working out.”
· On Chinese: “[They are] spitting and shooting snot on the sidewalk…throwing broken crates of rotten bock choy all over Spadina Avenue [and] eating dubious, illegal foodstuffs” [and cause SARS.]
· On Jews and others: “There should be absolutely no laws preventing people from putting up signs saying no Jews / Irish / Blacks…need apply.”

Lucy has been busy.

IF those quotes are true,
and IF they do indeed reflect some conservatives' views,
what the hell are you doing by reproducing them here,
thus spreading those objectionable comments?

And what have you been propagating up to this point,
if not hatred of people of faith,
and of people who don't hold the same world view you do?

Here's an apter moniker to replace the ones you already use Terry1, TerryQ, and Parnel, and perhaps even Dave U Random:
Terry, thy name is Whited Sepulchre.

Boy, does firefox not like this site since the post on the new senators. I wonder what's up? Eight out ten times I've tried to open this blog, my Mozilla Firefox shuts down. Bummer.

'Anyone able to explain this to me, a techno-Luddite? Are there any antidotes?

OMG, Whited Sepulchre (great moniker, Gabby), I checked out the youtube link in your diatribe and it's about Kathy Shaidle!

I'm not aware of CPC members or PMSH ever “standing up for” Kathy Shaidle. She's a blogger, she's dramatic, she calls it as she sees it, but the CPC and Kathy Shaidle aren't in bed together, or anything.

You're way off base. So, where are the quotes from? Who made them? Any member of the CPC or PMSH?

I didn't think so. If it's Kathy Shaidle who said them, then say so, don't be so oblique. There's certainly no one on the youtube link (members of the CPC standing up in the HoC) mouthing these quotes.

You are such a dissembler, whoever you are, Terry1, TerryQ, Parnel, Lucy (????) But, I'm loving it: the Liberal$ have made their very messy, smelly, unkempt bed and now they have to lie in it.

'Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Further to east of eden's comment about terry1:

terry1 has clogged up and hijacked nearly every one of the threads on this blog for months — with no repercussions from the blogmaster, which I find very strange, given that intelligent, knowledgeable commenters have been censured. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Why does terry1 have carte blanche to ad hominem and insult Prime Minister Stephen Harper, members of the CPC, and others on this blog?

Congratulations – this is a strong group who will do justice to the role on an interim basis until we can reform this house.

Frankly – I'm all for as many appointments of these rational, clear thinking, taxpayer focussed conservatives in government posts – will start to shift the balance to offset years of Liberal patronage appointments.

I frankly have to say too that I agree with Gabby, Liz and others – a big percentage of Terry's posts do nothing but sling mud and don't encourage nor add to the conversation. Hold him to the same standard that you are holding others.

Cheers – B'n'P

Yes, Gabby, they really cannot open their yaps without being hypocritical.

The absolute utter crass of the resident pet troll to puke up that everyone from coast to coast is “ashamed of Canada's senior legislative body” is astounding. Where is this information coming from a bunker somewhere?

The PM is doing what he has to do, the desperate for power Liberals don't like it, they prefer to have all Liberals in the Upper House to control any government not Liberal, delaying the passing of legislation important to the people of Canada passed by their elected government. That comes from their inbred notion they have a divine right to govern, all others get attacked for everything from their weight to their religion. That's their game as I see it and there's ample evidence to back it up.

Wonder if Jack Layton is gobsmacked with the appointment of Gary Doer as Ambassador to the US?

No one saw this one coming! Good move IMO. He resigned yesterday and today the PM makes the announcement. Wow, he's on a roll, taking care of business and getting things done much to the chagrin of his detractors in the media and the opposition. I've never been prouder of a PM and I have been around for some time.

Batb, there's only one person who can answer that one and he ain't talkin'.

I'd be willing to bet this objectionable commentary attributed to Conservatives, IF true at all, is from people who are not intelligent enough to have any idea about or any affiliation with politics. It's the sort of stuff we can expect the Liberal trolls and apologists to dig up and label as Conservative, that's the sad reality when they find themselves bereft of anything of substance to put forth.

“OMG, Whited Sepulchre (great moniker, Gabby), I checked out the youtube link in your diatribe and it's about Kathy Shaidle!”

I'm sorry, Batb, I don't understand what you're referring to. The only term “Whited Sepulchre” I know is from the New Testament, when Jesus referred to hypocrites in that way.
Lest there be any misunderstanding:
• I am not likening myself to Jesus in any way shape or form
• I have no connection whatsoever to Kathy Shaidle

Furthermore, while I appreciate some of the comments made supporting me versus Stephen's admonition, please remember the kind of litigious atmosphere we live in.

Because Stephen is the owner of the blog, some people (like the journalist I mentioned in an offhand catty remark) could conceivably assume Stephen approves such remarks made about her.

After sleeping on it, I realize I was wrong to make that remark. I have usually advocated toning down the rhetoric we use. We conservatives should not imitate the kind of language the potty mouths we encounter on blogs, IMO.
So, my apology to Stephen, for causing a bit of a kerfuffle.
I hope that particular matter is closed.

HOWEVER, should Terry1 continue with his idiotic epithets, I will reply to him in kind. I reserve that right.

P.S. East of Eden, please come back.

Appointing Gary Doer was brilliant.

The PM is a combative partisan when it comes to his party. Which good party leader isn't? But reaching across party lines, like he's done with Dalton McGuinty, with John Manley on the Afghan mission, Gordon Campbell in BC, and now with a prominent NDP premier, it shows PM Harper can work with people of good faith – and I don't mean the religious kind.

Correction:
“We conservatives should not imitate the kind of language used by the potty mouths we encounter on blogs, IMO.”

Thanks.

Hi Gabby,

When I wrote this: “OMG, Whited Sepulchre (great moniker, Gabby), I checked out the youtube link in your diatribe and it's about Kathy Shaidle!,” I was actually referring to terry1, whom you had labelled “Whited Sepulchre” in an earlier post: “Here's an apter moniker to replace the ones you already use Terry1, TerryQ, and Parnel, and perhaps even Dave U Random:
Terry, thy name is Whited Sepulchre.”

So, everything I said in that post referred to terry1, not you! Sorry for the confusion. I hope that makes things clearer.

Yeah Gabby, appointing Doer was brilliant and no one saw it coming. Stephen Harper is proving to be a brilliant strategist, he's not flying by the seat of his britches or holding his finger to the wind, he's just doing his job.

I don't think anyone could have guessed the Jacques Demers appointment to the Senate either!

Yes, Batb, thank you for the clarification. No harm done.

Gabby, as usual you get dogmatic and forget the facts being discussed.

1. The statements I quoted were from harpo himself.
2. he said he would change the rules.
3. He didn't change them and followed the old traditions
4.if he has the cojones and believes Canadians are behind him why doens't he just go to the people on this issue alone.
5. He knows he won't win is why and chooses to lie about his policy proposals which is why he is not trusted.

That being said if I was PM I would not abolish the senate but first make Canada a republic thus taking royal assent out of the picture. Then, as a next step I would make the senate an elected body proportionately represented with the absolute power to return any bill to the house they did not approve.

I have not been pushing hatred of people of faith. Again your dogmatic self gets in the way of practical stuff.

I stated and I repeat, RELIGION HAS NO PLACE IN POLITICS OR GOVERNMENT. WE ARE A SECULAR COUNTRY.

When you finally get that into your thick skull maybe you would then think about the difference in my comments.

Please don't get as bad and/or stupid as east of eden.

Liz, your brain is still foggy. the quotes are from a known conservative blogger. Do you get it yet? Wow, the ignorance is profound.

Gabby, Maybe he simply could not find a good Tory to do the job.

“if I was PM”…………………….. LOL…………………………ROTFLMAO

There you go folks, don't look at it for too long you might go blind…………..full frontal delusion or in other words Acute Leftist Mental Disorder.

oh man, that it way too funny……………..”if I was PM”

That's three I's in two sentences, a pretty good impression of meme Ignatieff.

I've had enough of the insults allowed to flow from the resident troll. I will take my leave of this blog.

I have censured Terry many times. He's on his last legs here.

Keep it respectful or you're outta here Terry1

Terry1 is on notice.

Terry1, do not post racist garbage here

I have emailed Terry1 many times to tell him to tidy up his comments.

Stephen, it was not my racist garbage but that of a known tory blogger. I think you should leave it in or be accused of being selectively biased. I agree it was racist but it was posted on a Tory blogger's site and I wanted the shock value. Sorry you are so thin skinned.

If anyof you can take your blinders off there is an excellent interview with Iggy by Allen Gregg on TVO. Its on all weekend.

You all might learn what real passion for Country and the future of Canada is.

Racist garbage is racist garbage, do not perpetuate it here.

Terry1, try this for a test to see if your comment is abusive.

Pretend you're at a cocktail party talking to your boss. And then imagine if some guy came up and spoke words that you write here.

Would you feel embarrassed for him?

“That Harpo is such a reformatort. Tories are deranged liars. Hey Princess Perfect.”

Liz, I hope both you and East of Eden will reconsider.

I've been looking for a YouTube video that would make a better case than I have so far, but I haven't found anything appropriate.
Either too schmaltzy or too loud …
So, simply, please come back to fight the good fight.

As long as you understand it is a tory supporer who wrote it I will agree. Some here make the point that the libs are essentially immoral and crooked etc. The political highway is not a one way street. That was my point.

Stephen, first of all I haven't had a boss for the last 3o plus years. I am not at a cocktail party here as you don't provide the liquor.

I continue to make the point that the trolls here are very insulting to others and were before I came along. I used to see quotes fom here that were not very nice nor cocktail related conversation pieces. If you would take the blinders off and be a little more open, difficult for a harpo Tory I know, you would see that the derogatory comments basically start from your base supporters.

People have a natural aversion to me here because I'm openly Liberal. They never tried to convert me but went directly to general party insults right from the get go. In my opinion they are disrespectful also.

I never said the Tories are “deranged' liars but I continue to state they are liars.

“RELIGION HAS NO PLACE IN POLITICS OR GOVERNMENT. WE ARE A SECULAR COUNTRY. “

So why did your beloved Lieberals make a huge issue about whether or not PM Harper ate the communal wafer? And do it no less over the funeral of a former GG of Canada and Liberal MP etc? Where was your criticism of WK et al over that?

Just a little hypocritical don't you think?

east of eden and liz j, I like Gabby hope that you reconsider.

This is a great blog, sans the nasty bluster of the #1 troll here. I hope that Stephen's admonitions to him about his tidying up his comments and his not posting racist garbage stick. I have no problem with principled debate, based on facts, but the kind of trolling we've seen here is hijacking this blog, which is a shame, seeing as Stephen's research and fact-finding is second to none.

This blog is extremely important in providing interested, engaged, and caring Canadians with sterling political information, and needs the commentary of intersted, engaged, and caring posters, like you, east of eden and liz.

Brett, what as tupid comment.
Please show me where, on any official liberal site or speech by a Liberal party MP's, there is a comment on that issue. Your friends at the MSM picked up on it,showed the video, and then most people decided that Harpo was lying and he was.

Since your leader is putting the whole MSM inot the senate he should not have to worry further about bad press.

Once again, Batb, very well said.

People like the resident troll and his fellow travelers would rejoice at the sight of this valuable and informative blog and others like it losing traffic.

I now regret having expressed my annoyance openly to Stephen here. I should have done so in a private email. But what's done is done.

I don't mean to tell my fellow conservatives what to do – but leaving the blog leaves more space to “the enemy.” I'm sure you don't want to cede that ground.

batb, give your head a shake:

“This blog is extremely important in providing interested, engaged, and caring Canadians with sterling political information, and needs the commentary of intersted, engaged, and caring posters,”

This blog was simply a reformatory love in…there was nothing sterling or engaging about it. Calling me or others with different political convictions the enemy is stupid and disingenious.
If you provide good honest debate that's what you will get back. Unfortunately you were not doing that.

Gabby, calling everyone who is not a tory a troll makes you one. Think about it.

wow Harpo is shooting for an oscar:

“To be honest with you, I am a lot more concerned by God's verdict regarding my life than the one of historians,” the Prime Minister said with a laugh, according to the article.

Giving interviews to regional publications such as Prestige allows Mr. Harper to bypass the national media and directly reach a key audience of decision makers and supporters. The interview also reinforces Mr. Harper's constant message that Quebec City holds a special place in his heart, especially as he talks in personal terms about his family and work.

Asked about the perception he is cold and aloof, Mr. Harper replied that he didn't enter public life for the limelight – and jokes that he in turn finds journalists hard to approach.

Gabby, united we stand …

How terry1 can write this: “Calling me or others with different political convictions the enemy is stupid and disingenious (sic),” is a mystery to me. It's HIS/HER head that needs a shake, something I've known as long as s/he's been around.

At no time have I called those with political views different from mine either “stupid” or “the enemy.” Maybe he's got me mixed up with someone else, which certainly doesn't give me confidence in anything s/he says. As I pointed out in my comment that occasioned this inane, dissembling response, I have no problem with views which don't match mine. I ask simply for the courtesy OF FACTS to back up those views, something terry1 seems to know little, and care less, about.

Those who misquote another person in order to put them down — IOW, construct a straw wo/man to knock down– have no credibility, and in doing so, totally discredit themselves and the political party they support. Sadly, this is the kind of dirty trick at which the Liberal$ and their hangers on excel. 'Talk about dragging politics through the mud: This party really knows how to do it.

Shame.

“Asked about the perception he is cold and aloof, Mr. Harper replied that he didn't enter public life for the limelight – and jokes that he in turn finds journalists hard to approach.”

Touché, Mr. Prime Minister! Touché!

Gee, I'm glad terry1 led me to the G&M link quoting Prime Minister Stephen Harper from an interview in the Quebec magazine Prestige. Here's a quote s/he left out … hmmm …. I wonder why:

“Honestly, I'm not into politics to play to the microphones and the cameras,” he said. “I'm there to ensure that the government acts responsibly, protects the population and meets its needs. I can take the criticism – it comes with the job – but my main preoccupation is not my personal image, but rather the country's higher interests.”

The country's higher interests. Ah. Now we cut to the chase. And it's exactly “the country's higher interests” that the Liberal Party has had no interest in, in the last 40 years or so of their tenure. Feathering their nests and those of their cronies with Canadian taxpayers' hard-earned cash seems to have been their prime preoccupation, plus social engineering Canada into a country barely recognizable from what it was just 50 years ago, when hard work, self-reliance, responsibility, and accountability were valued.

We're blessed to have Stephen Harper as our prime minister, and watching the Liberal$ and their toadies squirm having him at the helm of our ship of state is just icing on the cake.

Not written by a Tory blogger, more like posted on a Tory blog by some underhanded leftist troll scumbag.

Is this the reason finley is now a senator?:

Into The Senate And Off The Hook

Has anyone else is the anglo media or blogosphere picked up on Buzzetti's point? That Doug Finley's newfound parliamentary immunity will allow him to avoid testifying re. the Cons electoral fraud?

From here. Translation of Buzzetti below:

” As for the nomination of Mr. Finley to the Senate, it will have another consequence. Being from now on a member of Parliament, one will not be able to require of him qu' any more; he appears before a committee of the House of Commons for qu' he explains his role in the strategy of electoral financing of the Conservative party in 2006. Mr. Finley is famous being the brain of the mechanism known as of “in and out”, stratagem by which the conservatives are suspected of having spent 1 million dollars moreover than the allowed electoral limit. This cause is always in front of the courts, but the deputies in Ottawa tried l' summer last to hold of the audiences on this subject and any preserving apparatchik n' condescended to present itself, in spite of the assignments to appear been useful in certain cases. Mr. Finley, slinger, s' was presented two days before the date envisaged by requiring d' to be heard immediately, without what it would not return. He had been escorted by the security service. “

Not sure if that helps or not.

If Batb and Gabby stop commenting and Terry1 still does, will anyone hear? Will it still be a 'thread'? Will he debate with himself?

joannetb…………I won't miss either of them and neither will the blog. They want harmony and love ins……………. not real debate

So that leaves you, Terry1.

Enjoy yourself.

joannetb…………Build it and they will come…..stephen has a good site, a tad biased, but decent and those two surely won't be missed. Others will now join in.

Don't feed the troll.

reformatort hyocrisy on full display in Alberta no less:

http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Conservativ…

Albertans, it seems we misunderstood this Senate obsession of Reformers and Stephen Harper Conservatives.

When they raged at the appointment of party bagmen, former aides, sympathetic media types and hockey celebrities by the Chretien Liberals, we imagined the problem was the kind of person for whom the Grits were holding out the cushy seat.

But it turns out bagmen, aides, and names in hockey and journalism are just hunky-dory in Tory-land. The Conservatives' real problem in the bad old Liberal days was simply that they weren't the ones doling out the loot.”
…………………………………..
Better yet it comes from a Canwest newspaper slamming the reformatorts…….I like it.

Another view for the west and yet another Canwest Newspaper:

http://www.timescolonist.com/news/Harper+senato…

After a fair stretch watching politics up close, I remain baffled at what happens to people once elected. Consider, for starters, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the latest batch of brazen patronage appointments to the Senate.

Among the most recent nine were the Conservative party election campaign chair, who is also an effective fundraiser, Harper's long-time, loyal communications assistant and — for Pete's sake — the Conservative Party's president.

Harper used to rail against such abuses. The Senate shouldn't be a retirement home or rich reward for political backroom types, he said. It should represent Canadians. No more payoffs to party backers at taxpayers' expense. (Senators are paid $130,000 and get a rich pension.)

Now, Harper is another old-school politician, just fine with the same kind of cronyism he once condemned.
…………………………………

Hmm, two western newspapers from the conservative press slamming the senate appointments. I think I might subscribe again to the NP if that kind of fair reporting shows up more often.

I can see the whiners getting warmed up now!!!!

For Terry1, who said I'm the troll, not him
From Wiki:
“In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.”

What you call an “in your face type of person” approach I call a coarse and loutish approach. Were you to simply post your idol's words here, without the usual litany of epithets as a preface, one could choose to either reply or ignore your copy/paste skills.

Posting views in support of your party (which BTW are hardly ever your own original thoughts) or against Conservative policies is one thing. But liberally peppering each comment you lifted from another blog with idiotic name-calling is quite another. That is what I object to, not your support for the Liberals.

Clean up your act, write your own thoughts without the insults, and commenters may engage you in real debate. Continue with your vile epithets, and they will continue to spurn your so-called “in your face” style.

Gabby, I frequently post my own thoughts here but your partisan side takes over and you just rant on about Liberals. You are a troll believe it or not.

Is it Terry1, or the Parnel handle you use over at AGWN.

You are right, it was not on an “official” Party website, but it was on WK's blog (who we all know that he works in the Liberal war room), but was taken down. Was he told to take it down, or did he decide to in case he was sued? As far as anyone can tell he still works for Ignatieff.

This is all the proof I need that your beloved Liberals manufactured this faux scandal:

http://www.canadaka.net/forums/canadian-politic…

“Since your leader is putting the whole MSM inot the senate he should not have to worry further about bad press.”

Now that IS a STUPID comment and a gross overgeneralization. Mike Duffy and Linda Frum are now “the whole MSM”? Pretty pathetic.

“… you just rant on about Liberals.”
Prove it.
If you are representative of all Liberals, then that is their misfortune.

I do admit reacting against your own individual boorish tactics and behaviour.
That I have done, and will continue to do, every time you start your replies to me with some kind of inane epithet.
If a commenter gets personal with me, I reserve the right to reply in kind.

brett, typical of your stupidity I just checked WK's site and the wafergate story and video is still there on or about July 8. Just check yourself if you know how. Nice try at bluffing though.

BS may baffle some brains but some of us do check on things. Typical troy nut bar stuff from you.

Gabby in QC is not a troll.

'Amazing what Julie Van Doesn't's tangled web of hair has wrought …

You both are…droll trolls

And you are hopin' and a prayin' that The Igotist will baffle enough to win.

How's that workin out for you? How are those polls workin out for you? As it has been pointed out by too man to mention, given the current economic situation the Liberals should be polling an easy 10 points ahead of the Tories. Instead they are polling 10 points behind depending upon which poll you want to believe. You just keep on telling yourself that the polls lie, the tories lie…heck everyone but you lies. I'd ask you to let me know how that works out, but frankly I don't give a rats a$$.

GO ahead, call me anything you want because that is all you really have. Don't have much of an argument, so you hide behind your computer and hurl insults at everyone who disagrees with you. Don't defend our position, or address any of the issues just ad hominen atacks and name calling. You act like the spoilt child that doesn't get his way.

Given the fact your attention span is so short I'm not going to bother playing with your low IQ. Have you checked WK's site yet to confirm the wafergate video is still there, or are you just trying to slither around that little piece of inaccurate information you tried to pawn off here.

Whether it's a major or minor tangle is neither here nor hair … I mean there.
I'm not going to start splitting hairs nor start wearing a hair shirt made of haircloth because I made a silly comment to begin with.

I've said I regret making the comment I made, and I meant it.

The fact remains that Terry1 has continually used abusive language towards other commenters, c/Conservatives – the PM in particular – not just here but in previous threads he's participated in.
I note a very slight change in tone in his latest posts, perhaps due to Stephen's admonitions to him in this thread. But there is still plenty of room for improvement.
Hope springs eternal …

Gabby, I feel humbled and thankful you have forgiveness in your english teacher's heart . However, idiots will still be treated as they deserve to be.

I did check Terry and yes you are right..it is still there ( I had to go take a shower after that..thanks). But you still did not address the central issue I raised that the Liberals used the funeral of Romeo Leblanc for political gain, or are you just willfully ignorant on that issue? Or, are you just trying to slither away from that fact?

“Given the fact your attention span is so short I'm not going to bother playing with your low IQ. “

Wow… The arrogance to assume you know anything about me is just typical Liberal mentality that the great unwashed like us “severley normal” Canadians are not worthy of expanation; we should just lap up whatever tripe the great Lieberal party of Canada and it's minions serve up.

And you people wonder why your party is not gaining traction in the polls during “the worst recession in recent memory”. If your leader had a clue, he'd be on the ground playing with it. He, like you just doesn't get it.

Since harpo is such a dirty underhanded player my party wants to be sure the guns are loaded and the ads flow freely. As for polls don't worry about them they will straighten out this coming month starting this week as the libs have their retreat starting tomorrow.

Harpo had a free ride all summer with some pretty stupid announcements and could not move the yard sticks. Pretty sad commentary on his government.

Just in case you cons are worried about the libs preparation skills:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/se…

The plot thickens: election or no election

Despite the mixed messages from the Ignatieff Liberals as to whether they will try to defeat the government with a no-confidence motion in late September, it seems they are preparing for a campaign. There are whispers that party officials have contacted a Vancouver production company to put together a quote for a multicity, provincewide tour for Mr. Ignatieff in October, a source said. “Even if the Liberals haven't made up their minds about wanting an election, [it's] good to see they have their act together this early.”

Please note: I will be adding certain words to the commenting blacklist. This means that comments using certain words will be held in moderation.

“As for polls don't worry about them they will straighten out this coming month starting this week as the libs have their retreat starting tomorrow. “

The operative word is retreat, which what they will have to do from the Count's threat to topple the government over EI reform. The very system that the Liberals put in place in the 1990's. Such a compelling issue that is.

Given the economic situation and a the hype over the Count's ascension to the Liberal throne (by throwing Dion under the bus) that the Tories are still in a statistical tie, or outright lead is a sad commentary on the state of your beloved Lieberals. That we keep hearing “Liberal Insiders” talking out of school sure shows that the party is unified alright.

You still haven't addressed the original issue I took with you. Instead you deflect, obfuscate, resort to the typical “oh yeah”, or hurl insults.

Try as you may, you cannot escape the fact that your party is fronted (I can't say led) by the guy that lost to Dion in the 2006 convention, who only got there by foregoing a democratic vote in favour of a proclaimation by the party heiarchy and who signed onto the coalition with the Dippers and the Bloc. There will be no avoiding that one.

The last 2 paragraphs should be reversed.

Something else should be reversed but I digress.

I was at the convention last April as were several thousand other liberals and they had a vote which was almost unanimous. The party constitution was followed absolutely to a tee.

didn't harpo play with facts by calling his election last fall? The libs followed their rules totally

good stuff!!! I hope reformatort is not a bad word….LOL

Will terry be one of those words?
Kidding!
I hope Gabby is not one of them.

Good on you Stephen.

GR-8 idea, Stephen.

'Loved your “hair-brained” comment, Gabby!!! Hair! Hair!

I sincerely hope that “idiot” is one of the words which will cause a comment to be caught in your filter, Stephen. It's unacceptable that terry1 throws that word around about commenters here. Disagreement is no problem, but when slurs and name-calling are a regular part of someone's commentary, as they are in his/hers, they've crossed a line.

The new patronage king in Canada:

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTV…

“OTTAWA — Weeks before Stephen Harper named some of his closest Tory friends to the Senate, his cabinet quietly approved a flood of appointments to federal boards that also rewarded party faithful.

At least 20 of the 111 appointments made Aug. 4 went to identifiable federal and provincial Conservative donors and supporters.

That includes a failed candidate in Vancouver, a top organizer with the Nova Scotia party, and a would-be Senate nominee from Alberta.

The postings come with per diems of up to $450 for part-time positions and salaries of up to $118,000 a year for full-time posts.”

Conservative appointments to courts, boards, quasi-judicial tribunals and Crown corporations now total an estimated 3,000 since Harper became prime minister.
……………………………………………………….

Now lets hear it for the accountability act you all bragged about.

HYPOCRISY EQUALS CONSERVATIVE

Thanks, Batb.

I read somewhere that PM Harper has apparently hit the 3000 mark in appointments to various positions.

I'm looking forward to the 4000 mark, so that the previous do-nothing administrations' (1993-2006, not to mention the pre-Mulroney era) mistakes can be righted – in both senses of the word.

You were that the convention? I guess that makes you a party hack.

Me…I'm not a member of any party, just a voter and a political junkie. So..will you address the issue of why the Liberals used the funeral of a former GG to try and score cheap political points? Or are you just going to hurl insults at me (a voter)? But then I don't realy expect a straight answer from a sock puppet and unlike you, I am capable of critical thinking.

theLibs did not have the video camera pointed at Harpo. The video very clearly shows that he didn't put the host in his mouth.

Kinsella was threatened with legal action if he didn't pull his blog. He told them to stuff it and its still there with no lwayers letter yet.

I don't need to hurl insults at your pathetic attempts to huyrl insults my way. You can't even use a good story to try and get some traction. its sad you are allowed to vote!!!

Is Baird looking for a senate job or does he aways beg this way?

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2009/08/31/econo…

But Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said any suggestion by Baird that an election would have a negative effect on the stimulus is a “piece of nonsense.”

“For a guy who hasn't flowed the infrastructure, to now claim that the infrastructure won't flow if we have an election, is just tying himself in knots,” Ignatieff said on Monday in Sudbury.

“its sad you are allowed to vote” Your party gave the vote to convicts in prison. I guess they needed to shore their base up eh? Or was that so that those caught in adscam could still vote Liberal if they had to go to jail? Anything to get a couple of extra votes eh? Every $1.95 counts!

And where is the 40 million that still is missing? WHich Liberal ridings in Quebec got some?

Given what has come out of Iggy's yap today, we've gone from pulling the plug on this government to an election if necessary, but not necessarily an election.

ANyway, I have better things to do. You just keep on cheering on the one who was busy thinking thoughts if that floats your boat.

brett, another unchecked fantasy from your book of lies .

It was the SC that forced the liberal goverment to allow convicts the vote.

Your are the most useless poster here with your inaccurate and false statements.

Cut & paste, cut & paste, hey T1 have you got anything original?

If I am so useless, then why do you spend so much time responding to me?

I will Leave you with this from the Halifax Chronical Herald.
http://thechronicleherald.ca/Columnists/1140221…

You might want to read it all, but to me this says everything that needs to be said.

“So not only do the Tories have a tactical advantage, but the Liberals have so far failed utterly to explain why Canadians should vote for them.”

Why indeed!

What's the last original thought you posted here?…..bow wow little doggie

Just goes to show you how Igy is frustrating the PM's war room. Nothing to attack while Iggy builds his dossier of Harpo's economic stupidity.

“no Tax is a good tax”……Harpo quotation.

here's the BS about that:

Harper's $100 million tax grab
Mon, 2009-08-31 23:45.
Brian Lilley
If Stephen Harper really believes what he said earlier this summer, that there are no good taxes, then I’m not sure what to make of this. As of today, Canadians will be paying $100,000,000 more in taxes each year; today is the first day of the new TV tax.

The lowering of the senate IQ authored by Harpo:

http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/minutes+p…

With admirable candour, Jacques Demers, who dropped out of school after Grade 8 and was functionally illiterate until four years ago, admitted that he doesn't follow politics and knew nothing about his new job.

Well, maybe somebody had mentioned the salary, currently $132,300 – for which Demers intends to work only part-time, since he is keeping his job as a hockey commentator on RDS.

For that, all he has to do is to trust the Conservative whip to tell him when to show up and how to vote – RDS's schedule permitting.

That's one reason Demers was named. Another was so that his high profile and the inevitable controversy over his lack of qualifications would distract attention from his fellow appointees, many of them Conservative ex-pols and backroom boys and girls. In the time-honoured tradition of the Senate, they will continue to serve their party, only now on the public payroll.
…………….

But Harper's appointment of Demers, and the latter's acceptance of it, might have backfired against both.

A common reaction to the news in this province was stunned, incredulous silence, followed by “You're kidding,” and then some variation on: “Don't get me wrong, I think Jacques Demers is a hell of a guy – but a senator? A Conservative senator?”

Such is the affection for Demers that commentators generally criticized Harper for making the appointment, but not Demers for accepting it. It was as though Demers was too naïve and politically inexperienced to realize that Harper was using him.

This is very confusing. Until yesterday, there were 115 comments and, then, today, there are apparently 125 as of this morning. Looking to see who had made new comments, I couldn't see any new comments.

A couple of hours later — now — there are, apparently, two new comments, 127 in all. But where are the new comments? I don't see any.

'Curioser and curioser.

That's so funny, T1 you called me little doggie cause I'm Novadog and that's funny calling me little doggie, OMG it's so funny, and you also said bow wow cause that's what little doggies say, bow wow, OMG. And, and I called you T1 cause you intimidate me like Arnold does on the terminator, do you get it, hah. T1 you are such a comedian, I can't stand it. Every one is probably laughing their holes off.
