The leader of the Opposition sure doesn't appear to have a lot of time to “talk to Canadians” judging by his tee shirt agenda! Maybe he doesn't feel comfortable as a Canadian after his long absence from the country. Why he would cancel out on his his alma mater is puzzling. Wonder if he's a tad embarrassed with his performance as leader of the Opposition?
Visiting nursery schools or any schools, as he has been doing, will be of little help to him, he'll not be around by the time they're able to vote. Taking time to do photo-ops of no consequence in an attempt to change his image, tells us he's back to starting at square one.

Can I order a shirt, with the Conservative logo? Will you throw in a novelty cheque as well?

He is testing his adult conversation with the last friendly demographic.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Voters, will see right through the 'baby bouncing' and it's obvious, it's not his thing. Call it female instinct or a sixth sense but he is purely, a huge paternal fake. Those kids shots, are the hardest thing he's done in his 4 years BACK in HIS northern nightmare.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
What? There is still a Conservative logo? Didn't the Liberals demand that it be burned….at a stake, in front of millions?
October 20th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
I see the need to keep on changing the agenda lest the truth about tory malfeasance keeps your fans awake at night .
I think harpo has done more flip flops than any amount Iggy has done. At least Iggy hasn't sold his ideology down the tubes and become a socialist like Harpo.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
It was nice to see Iffy with his politicals peers today having an adult conversation. I was really impressed with the CBC trying to keep the party and logo-gate alive.
I am sure all those posts and plans will work out for the Liberal Party. Really this time it will work.

Is this how popular conservatism is in Canada:
…… …cancelled due to nobodys' giving a shite. Where's that Tshirt?

At least Harper didn't jump into bed with the socialists like the Liebrals did. And honestly, Harper = Socialist? Please. Maybe you should take a POLI 101 class at your local community college.

A $60BB deficit and a life saving abstention from the dippers is pretty telling evidence, especially since harpo sold out to them on EI legislation. The EI stuff has nothing to do with peoples' needs but simply a face saving mechanism to hold onto power.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Caroline Parish was seen stomping on a 'C'…
Hedy Fry saw a giant 'C' burning on lawns in Prince George…
October 20th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Yah, those silly Dippers should have taken their chances instead of giving Iffy a live saving abstention….
October 20th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
I so want one of those shirts. I think if there is enough of us we could get one done up for real!
October 20th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
I just heard they have finalized their location for their “thinkers” conference. Waffle House has a small room and a play area available.

In other news the Liberals remain ethically and morally bankrupt while sliding toward “da turd pardi” or perhaps even the fourth party status. Their continuous faux outrage has, is and will keep turning more and more people away from this self described “natural ruling party”. If they put half the effort into working for their constituents as they do with their feces flinging monkey antics they might have been able to avoid total meltdown, but such is not the case.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
The Liberals and Dippers with their MSM buddies feeding frenzy re the Conservative logo and Conservative MP's signatures on non-negotiable cheques is another sad and pathetic attempt by them all to GET something, anything, to stem the free fall of the Iggy Liberals.
It's no big deal. We all know it isn't the Conservative Party money going out to the people, they're merely the ones who get to put it out. The only problem for the Liberals is they can't bear to see anything that reminds them or their constituents they are not the ones in government. The way they're acting they'll not be getting there any time soon.
People are concentrating on getting through this rough period and thankful of any help the government gives them. We certainly don't give a damn if Iggy dons a bright red shirt over a brilliant white shirt with a large collar and visits some little kiddies in a nursery school. It's time he gets going with some ADULT conversations, tell us he can do better.

Brucey,
You forget where the mindset belongs for the Liberals…
as Tatoo would say the plane, the plane.
The Liberals would say the plan, the plan.
October 20th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
You need to post the LIBRANO t-shirt beside this one. I still prefer mine
I AM WOMAN I LIKE HARPER.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
There you go on your feces kick. Are they eating your lunch?
October 20th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Liz J HYPOCRITICAL… so what the libs did was wrong but attack ads, lies and innuendoes from your party are fine? Do you know how to spell…..HYPOCRITE?
According to your party they have painted the country with bank notes and no one is suffering thanks to them…..unless they live in a non reformatory riding.
You are something else demanding my removal from this site when you post such nonsense and garbage.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
No you have the wrong songs………..its “the winner takes all”
October 20th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
It would be cash only and the proceeds would go to the dog pound.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Brucey, you must come from a forth rate community…does the welfare payment scheme not pay enough while you drive that taxi and collect EI at the same time?
Idiot is a kind word on this post.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Its not a t-shirt with the name “Harper” on it.
Try to pay attention, Parnel

24 hour ban on terry1 starts now.
The next infraction nets you a week in the penalty box.
October 20th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
In other news:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/et...
The parliamentary ethics commissioner will formally look into opposition complaints about Tory MPs putting their own names and party logo on economic stimulus cheques.
“She's going ahead with an investigation,” a spokeswoman for Commissioner Mary Dawson's office said Tuesday.
Opposition MPs have already filed a sheaf of complaints over the cheques and Dawson said in a statement she expects to see a total of about 50.
The opposition says Tory MPs have flaunted oversize ceremonial cheques blazoned in Conservative colours and carrying their signatures at announcements about stimulus projects.
Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said 55 Tories are implicated in this “dubious strategy.”
October 20th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Thanks for putting Terry in the penalty box Stephen, I hope he might learn something while he has time to reflect.
October 20th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
Bec,
the Liberals could have been a “contender” meme is slowly fading. Incrementalism of keeping the Liberal Party out of power and replaced with a common sense, steady hand on the till will placate Canadians. In 2014 those additional 30+ seats outside QC will forever change the dynamic. It won't be Ont-QC, it will be Ont-West paradigm shift.
Tom Flanagan has pointed to it as well.
It's the Regime, Stupid!: A Report From the Cowboy West on Why Stephen Harper Matters, Barry Cooper lays out his case for viewing Harper as a historic Prime Minister.

The 'thinkers conference' that Iffy said in May, was going to be held in the summer,
but got CANCELLED…
October 21st, 2009 at 2:37 am
Its probably time to ban the troll terry parnell for a month? a year? eternity? At least gayle doesn't have a potty mouth and seems way more polite than this grit operative.
October 21st, 2009 at 3:56 am
GR-8 T-shirt. Who's selling them?
GR-8 news, too, about parnel's going to the penalty box. Twenty-four hours might not be enough, but you're the ref, Stephen! Good call!
October 21st, 2009 at 4:02 am
Well, terry1/parnel, what's the diff?
Hi! I'm terry1 and this is my other brother terry1, aka parnel …
October 21st, 2009 at 5:40 am
Have a heart batb, don't kick Terry/Parny when he's down, too cruel.
Hi Terry/Parny, na, na, na, na, naaaaaaaaaa.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:43 am
Who's taking orders for the Iggy T-shirts?
October 21st, 2009 at 6:18 am
Wilson can you outline a potential Agenda for the “thinkers conference”.
Garth Turner handed in his “decoder ring” recently, do you think we can send someone in to those wonderful ideas that will save Canada and restore it's global reputation?
or should we wait for a telephone call, article written by the MSM with quotes from another anon liberal who is trying to undermine the leader?
October 21st, 2009 at 6:20 am
What about a filter on certain words that are demeaning or inflamatory and add little to the debate?
October 21st, 2009 at 7:11 am
what about the 'CANADIEN HABS LOGO. It strikes very much like 'Conservative Harper' to me. I just wondered why TOM CLARK and company didn't say anything about this 'logo. You know how Tom is, looking and poking everywhere for a C that resembles…..
October 21st, 2009 at 7:14 am
If all the money is going to non liberal/ndp ridings, when did Bob Rae join the conservatives. Is he one of the supposed libs planning to cross the floor. Check out the columns at NNW, and see how much money went to Rae's riding. Oh, and also check out Paulstuff today, and the photo of libs using fake cheques. Dalton libs that is.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:49 am
So true Jen. Perhaps the Habs should sue !
Clark can hardly keep a straight face any more. If he keeps on this tack he'll lose a lot of respect as a journalist.
The Liberals are all green with envy over the PM's appearance at the big game in Montreal last week.
We know by the way they're flailing about in all directions they're in a state of bitter confusion caused by extreme desperation.
Be sure to read Walter Robinson's comment column in the Ottawa Sun today:” Cheque scandal just partisan smoke”, he's bang on.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:26 am
Stephen,
things must be very slow at Lib blogs, your personal photo of Harper, Manning (included on my recent post) to deserves attention.
Keep up the great work!
October 21st, 2009 at 11:08 am
Parnel has a fixation on the Conservative PM. I understand this completely. He doesn't have anything to admire about his own leader.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:11 am
Of course the media are quick to point out that Rob Nicholson's announcement on tougher crime legislation is simply a photo op. Well at least its government legislation. Count Igster I guess showing up in a daycare is not a photo op. How about that fire engine red sweater? However nobody in the Liberal loving media suggests his daycare visit was simply a publicity stunt.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:17 am
Not likely he is a Liberal diehard.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:44 am
Double Scotch. Your letter made my day. Have not laughed to hard. The Liberanos are sinking like the Titanic, and Terry talks about winning an elevtion. Ha Ha
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 am
We should do the T-shirt stuff for real. It is price less. I would buy one too.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:48 am
Frankly Jen, last night Tom Clark showed without a shadow of doubt he wants to get a job with the Liberals. I guess he is hoping for a Senate Job. Trouble is he will have to wait a long time.
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:25 am
Read Donny Martin's column in the NP today to find out why “Ignatieff is smiling again”. I'd be inclined to think it's gas, he hasn't a lot to smile about at this point.
Seems Iggy decided to take the pressure off himself and NOT vote to defeat the government, Iggy plans to”let him stew” until next Spring. Wonder who'll be stewing?
Iggy says:”What Canadians feel they've got is a massive Conservative re-election campaign and a lot of pork is starting to stink”. So Iggy knows what Canadians think?
For the Iggy Liberals to accuse the Conservatives of electioneering after declaring they would not support their minority government is rather silly. Also, calling the stimulous money, of which they demanded more and faster, pork , is asinine .
