Every vote does count
Use this example to all who say their vote doesn’t count.
Tony Clement, touted by many as a possible minister in the new Stephen Harper Conservative government, won the Parry Sound-Muskoka riding by just 21 votes Monday as he defeated Liberal incumbent Andy Mitchell.

Shovel through and vote
Not voting should be criminal.

Back(side)-firing
The cartoon says it all....I’m going to vote today in the advance poll. You should too if you think you’ll be busy Jan. 23.
NDP Hypocrisy
Editorial: A Clinical Question
It was mildly amusing the other evening to watch NDP Leader Jack Layton try to explain away the news story disclosing that he had surgery at a private clinic in the 1990s.

Please boot her
If the Conservatives win only one seat in Ontario, let it be this one.
Could it be bye-bye, Belinda?

Put a stake in it?
I wonder if the RCMP investigation will be the turning point in the election, or if it’s just another speedbump in the endless corruption that people simply expect from Dithers and Co.

Dither’s Desperation
MMMMmmmmmm...I love the smell of blood...liberal blood.
Prime Minister Paul Martin appeared to be fighting for his political life today,
You know that if the Star notices, things must be bad.

Beer nuts, actually
He may regret saying it, but there’s little doubt it’s from a deep liberal mindset that government knows how to blow your money best.
A top aide to Liberal Leader Paul Martin apologized on Sunday shortly after suggesting on national television that Canadians might spend child-care money on beer and popcorn.
I’d rather have us knuckle draggers have more of our own money than write a another check to Quebec.

He’s got my vote
Michael Coren has a party that I’d vote for.
So I present you with the Coren Party and its policies:

No chance with a cokehead
Mark writes that there is little chance of Quebec ever succeeding as its own nation, especially with potential leaders like Mr. Boisclair.
That’s the real question: how come Latvia, Slovenia and even East Timor have made a go of it but one of the world’s oldest secession movements perpetually seeks refuge in ever more bogus obstacles to what would be a very viable independence?
One way to come at the answer is to look at the current frontrunner for the leadership of the Parti Qu�b�cois. He’s a fellow called Andr� Boisclair, and, if you don’t follow P�quiste politics closely, he’s the gay cokehead in the race.

Canadians are statists
There is little doubt that Canadians are, and always will be, Liberals to the core.
When something new appears in the world, the American asks: How can money be made from this? The Canadian asks: How can we regulate it?

Such problems
The envy that must be brewing over the Alberta dividend checks has to be a real concern to the feds.
Albertans may end up getting much more than $300 when prosperity dividend cheques arrive in the mail later this year, Premier Ralph Klein said Monday.
Whose oil is it anyway? We all know provinces have jurisdiction over natural resources, but who actually owns the resource?
Sorry, but I say Canada does. Let’s have some of that dough!

Piling on Brian
David Warren has nothing but contempt for Newman’s new trash book on Mulroney.
If anything, the latest tripe makes me like Mulroney even more than I already did.

Give them guns
Why can’t we arm our border guards?
It’s time they became more than tax collectors.

Imagine the headlines
The price of gas is going through the roof, and the Feds need to know they are part of the problem.
But even ignoring that essential fact, an 8 per cent increase in the price of crude oil cannot explain a 20 per cent overnight increase in the price of gasoline.
Part of the problem is the 7% GST. Imagine the headlines:
Last week: Gas is 95 cents, GST is 6.2c.
Earlier this week: Gas is $1.05, GST is 6.9c
GAS TAX UP 1 CENT!
Today: Gas is $1.26, GST is 8.2c
GAS TAX UP 1 CENT!
OVER TWO CENTS IN 1 WEEK!
The GST is insidious and the government knows it. It’s the perfect tax, especially when it comes to gas.
Past governments fell over gas tax increases - I wonder if the sheeple will catch on.

Let the cynicism begin
The increasingly out to lunch government of Mr. Dithers has appointed someone totally unqualified to become GG - providing unlimited fodder for the blogsphere.
Ms Jean fits none of these criteria. It is trivial and irrelevant to divert criticism of this choice to her being ‘ethnic’, ‘non-white’, ‘a woman’, even to her being ‘Quebecois’..blah blah. That’s all trivia and obfuscates and hides what should be the basic criticism of this choice of her as G-G. The criticism? She doesn’t fit what should be a standard for a patronage appointment of this stature; namely, a lifetime work towards the betterment of the well-being of the majority of Canadians.
Perhaps this is the Liberal way to turn Canadians against the monarchy. It just might work.

Slay some cows
Didn’t know Ms. Wente was in Readers, but here she is with a zinger.
Every culture has its unacknowledged taboos—the things you are forbidden to say or do in polite company, the accepted truths you are not allowed to doubt. You might think that a liberal, open-minded country like Canada would be free of such taboos, but you’d be wrong. In spite of our belief in our own enlightened tolerance, some things are simply not open to debate. If you try, you’re bound to shock the neighbours.
I’ve always said we should burn our garbage - recycled crap is no exception.

PC Costs Security
An amazing story of politically correct multicult bullsh*t destroying our institutions.

Warren likes Steve
Warren may be a Liberal, but he still has a good sense of what (Ontario) voters want. Here’s some advice for Mr. Harper.
Well, because it matters. Because it provided a revealing glimpse into Stephen Harper’s character. Because it suggested to my family and me—die-hard Alberta Liberals, which is about as die-hard as a Liberal can get—that Stephen Harper was, at the end of the day, a nice person.

A real hero
I meant to mention the new Terry Fox coin back when it came out. Of course, they played the very sad footage of Terry ending his run when they reported on the new coin..
Canadians everywhere are stunned and heartbroken: Terry Fox’s cancer has returned and his Marathon of Hope must end near Thunder Bay, Ont. Terry has run 5,373 kilometres after 143 days on the road.
On the verge of tears, Terry Fox lies on a stretcher and tells reporters he has cancer in his lungs and must go home for more treatment.
It also got me thinking that Canada doesn’t have many heros anymore, and Terry’s heroics, as simple as they were, seem to have stood the test of time.

What is the downside?
Jay asks what exactly is the downside to dumping Quebec? Really, there isn’t one, as long as they agree to giving up most of the province.
The real solution is with Conservatives - greater decentralization will appease all the other provinces too.
A cad’s payback
Chuck Cadman sold out and voted Liberal - and Levant is livid.
Something tells me it was a little payback to the Conservatives for not nominating him.
