Liberal Smear Campaign, Harpocrits Have Short Memories.

Liberal smear campaign. Perhaps the Harpocrits have just managed to fumble this one because they were so paranoid into being tied directly to it. Why does a millionaire like Elmer MacKay not own his own fax machine? We never heard the end of the sponsorship program from the likes of Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay. MacKay went as far as to call it "Canada's Watergate". They did everything in their power to implicate Paul Martin to the program, including questioning him on a birthday card he signed. They tried to force an election on one day of testimony in the Gomery inquiry.
The truth is that most Liberals will like to see Mulroney get what is due to him because of his abusive tone towards Liberals while he was Prime Minister. Once he received the government settlement, he and Mila purchased a home in West Palm Beach Florida. The could have purchased all of West Palm Beach by launching libel suits to every journalist and publisher that connected him to the Airbus scandal, so he clearly has something to hide and Canadians deserve to no.
As for the Harpocrits, they will be defeated on their own arrogance inepitude

Frankie Pentangeli and Karl Schreiber

Who can forget the famous scene in Godfather II when Frankie Pentangeli retracted previous sworn testimony to the Senate Committee on Organized Crime at the mere sight of his estranged brother from the Committee gallery. He then responded with "I don't know no Godfather". The Committee than scrambled through its briefings and then adjourned abruptly. That was Hollywood, not to mention that Watergate had reached a boiling point the same year the film was released. Could such a Hollywood scene be played out in our Canadian Parliament. Could either Mulroney or the Harper Government produce a long lost relative of Schreiber's, and at the mere sight of him cause Karl to break down and state that everything his said before was lies. Of course we want to see the truth come out in this case, but I for one could spare the truth for such a dramatic scene in Canadian Government that we would all never forget.

Harper Passing the Corruption Buck.

I don't follow German politics that much, but I do know they have a "Grand Coalition" aka "shaky coalition" when the governing party teams up with the official opposition to form a government, and it can fall apart at anytime. The governing party is the Christian Democrats, which Schreiber has had a long storied relationship with. His arrest warrant in Germany is directly tied to the Christian Democrats, and could remind Germans of the corruption in government the last time the Christian Democrats were in power under Helmut Kohl. Sound familiar. By doing everything in their power to send Schreiber back to Germany, the Harper is not only obstructing justice, but he is passing the problem over to his German counter parts, so they will have to deal with the humiliation of having been tied to Schreiber, that is if the German media enjoys sensationalism as much as we do in Canada. Sure let Angela Merkel be defeated by this individual, while you walk around with a halo of clean government on top of your head. Since the Christian Democrats are Canada's version of the Conservatives shows that the Harpocrits will even stab their friends in the back in order to keep power.

Forget Confederation, Let's Go Electoral College

Having lived in Ontario my entire life, or the small "c" in confederation or "Blue State North", I took our last federal election results and determined what the House of Commons would look like under electoral college. First unlike Mixed proportional, all the members will be picked from elite party lists. We here in Ontario love anything that involves the word elite, we do border New York State, Michigan and the bluest of the blue states, Minnesota.

2006 Canadian Electoral College Results:

Liberals 142
Conservatives 92
Bloc 75

Unworkable Liberal Minority
Conservative-Bloc Coalition

So we have the same thing we have today in the House of Commons except we are sparred Jack Layton's ramblings (I hope they build a Walmart in his riding) and we don't have to stare at all those ugly faces in the House because the party lists will surely be prioritized by physical attractiveness. CPAC's ratings will go through the roof. To me Electoral College works.

Something Doesn't Add Up.

There is a striking difference between the Prime Minister's Offices biography of Peter MacKay regarding his career path circa 1991-1993, and Wikipedia's. Allow me to table both.

Wikipedia's:

After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Acadia University in 1987, MacKay then studied Law at Dalhousie University and was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in June 1991. He worked as a lawyer for the law firm of Thyssen Henschel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in Düsseldorf and Kassel, Germany. For those of you unfamiliar with these companies, they both have heavy ties to Karl Schreiber, who by the way was bailed out of jail in 1999 by two former cabinet Minister's, Marc Lalonde and Elmer MacKay, Peter's father.

Here is how the Prime Minster's Office sees it:

After graduating with an arts degree from Acadia University in 1987, he went on to study law at Dalhousie University. He was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in June 1991.

With strong family ties to the local area, he returned to New Glasgow to open a private law practice specializing in criminal and family law. In 1993, he accepted an appointment as Crown Attorney for the Central Region of Nova Scotia. He prosecuted cases at all levels, including youth and provincial courts as well as the Supreme Court of Canada.

Isn't that nice, instead of being a hired consultant to international defence contractor (Not a bad piece on a resume for a Defence Minister), he had an store front law firm with a little bell ring when you opened the door, and helping old ladies in slip and fall cases. Not really what you would expect from a future Minister of Defence. Could it be that he got the job with the defence contractor from an individual who is in some hot water right now, Karl Schreiber.

Harpocrits, even on their government websites they need to shield the truth.

Hearings and Testimony are Polling Gold, Not Reports and Conclusions.

It was a warm spring day. Canadians were about to enter into an election based on one day of testimony of individual who was trying to play the role of the victim, because he was facing criminal charges. That testimony was in the Gomery Inquiry, and thanks to Chuck Cadman and Stephen Harper (stripping Belinda of her critic post so she would leave the party and join the Liberals) we were spared of entering into an election on one persons account or a set of circumstances far more complex. The first Gomery Report then exonerated Prime Minister Martin, but that didn't stop the opposition by laying the blame completely on him.
Harper is doing everything to prevent the Mulroney-Schreiber case from coming to light because it will make him fall victim to what he has built his political career on up to this point, messing with people's emotions. He even went as far to have his mistress in the Press Gallery, Chantal Hebert say this case is not Gomery II, because Paul Martin and Stephane Dion were directly involved in the sponsorship program, and Harper was promoting western separatism when Mulroney received the alleged payments. Well Ms. Hebert, Paul Martin was vindicated by the report, and Stephane Dion was even mentioned in it.
Will the government be defeated on damaging testimony that doesn't even pertain to them, most likely not, therefore they have nothing to fear with a full public inquiry. The problem is voters have short memories, and if something is in the news, no matter how old it is, it will effect the polls, and deny majority winning conditions for the Conservatives. "Winning conditions" was also a term used to describe the separatists in Quebec when it came to calling a referendum. No wonder the Harpocrits and Bloc get along so well.

Runaway Harpocrits

A Tribute to Checkers.

When Richard Nixon was accused of receiving kickbacks the nation was treated to an hour long review of the Nixon family's assets. Television was in its infancy, and this charade did little to give some creditability as an entertainment medium. This all changed at the end of the program when the nation was introduced to Checkers, the only gift the Nixons accepted from political supporters.

As former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney begins to face questions about similar kickbacks, could we be introduced to a beautiful pure bred German Sheppard, compliments of Mr. Schrieber.

The current Prime Minister has a fondness for the felines species. Could our nation be treated to the new edition to the Harper family that was part of 2002 Leadership contributions that we have yet to be privileged to the sources.

Who can forget Mr. MacKay. A dog lover and Schrieber former employee. While he was playing "Boy loses Girl" we met a beautiful canine on his father's farm in Nova Scotia. Was that dog part of a package that retired his $500,000 debt, which he still refuses to name the sources.

Sadly, we have no version of Checkers in Canada. Mr. Dion has Kyoto, but that's not the same. It is well documented that Mackenzie King claimed to be able to verbally communicate with canines, so close enough.

Mulroney Could Be Exonerated

But that won't stop current Defence Minister Peter MacKay to have to testify in a public hearing. Such and embarrassment could produce a political nightmare on MacKay's employment with the Schrieber operation. Embarrassing public hearings were what the Harpocrits used against the Liberals, then ignoring the final reports, sounds like things could backfire on them.

Covering up Corruption: It's the Harpocrits Way

The Gomery inquiry was called to get to the bottom of the Sponsorship Program by the government of the day, knowing that they could face political implications as a result. The Liberal Party could of covered up those envelopes going across restaurant tables by appointing an independent adviser, perhaps stayed in power or been defeated on a real issue that directly pertained to the running of the country In 1997 a RCMP investigation was considered a witch hunt against the a former Prime Minister Mulroney. Two million dollars of taxpayers money was settled, and the investigation called off. Now that more facts are present, don't Canadians deserve to know if there was any wrong doing in the Prime Minister's Office, and should the 2.1 million be returned to the taxpayer. The current Prime Minister Harper will not call a full judicial investigation because he promised to clean up government, as long as it wasn't his friends. To make matters worse he could lose his pathetic 125 minority that survives on the support of a party that's sole mandate is to break up the country, due to the publicity surrounding such an investigation, not to mention his own Defence Minister may be called as a witness, then on the payroll of Mr. Schieber while the alleged payouts were made. Good thing they dropped that P in their party name. He also risks the notion of reminding people that not only Liberals can be corrupt and all you have to do is look to the Mulroney government's serial corruption during their time in office. Maybe Harper doesn't want to release his 2001 donors list because Mr. Schieber's name could be on it as well?
