Harper Calls in the Internet Cops
My question is: when they catch these guys (or girls) what will they charge them with? Telling the truth?

Harper to Canadians: We Can't Help you.
That's the basic premise of his big (Liberal) announcement yesterday.

Beamsville, Ont. — Canadians stung by record-high energy costs shouldn't look to Ottawa for a gas-tax break as such measures would do little to slash prices at the pumps, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Wednesday to the chagrin of critics who said there's plenty of room for government action.
With oil prices having more than doubled over a year ago — surpassing $133 (U.S.) on commodities markets Wednesday — Mr. Harper touted broad-based tax cuts as an antidote and slammed Liberal Leader Stephane Dion's plan to tax carbon.
“The ability of governments to affect the price of gasoline per se is so small that it's not worth doing,” Mr. Harper said following an announcement on new food labelling regulations.
TRANSLATION: I blew all the surplus we had and cut the lucrative GST, so we have to get money on the backs of all Canadians. And, my oil buddies and my home province are really happy right now. Screw Ontario, Dalton deserves it.
“What you've really got to do is lower costs for consumers generally, rather than try to fight the upward trend in the price of gasoline.”
Overall tax cuts, like the two percentage points his government has taken off the GST, are the best way to bring savings to consumers, Mr. Harper added.
“What we don't need right now in the face of rising gasoline taxes and rising taxes on energy products are governments that come in and specifically impose carbon taxes on our economy,” he said.
“We think that is a foolish and unnecessary policy being proposed by our opposition.”
TRANSLATION: I hate David Suzuki and I blew the wad when I cut the GST, so now I'm stuck with this inflation thing.
A carbon tax proposal is to be the central plank in the Liberals' election platform. Mr. Dion is expected to unveil the plan before the end of June and then spend the summer trying to explain it to Canadians.
The implementation of a carbon tax would be more about raising revenue than helping the environment, Mr. Harper said.
“If what you really want to do is get money for the government and claim that you're trying to reduce emissions, then you impose carbon taxes.”
TRANSLATION: We still don't believe scientists across the world on this climate change thing. And, we have no idea what we're going to do to get money that we just blew back into the coffers in the face of a major recession with soaring inflation.
Gas prices at the pump and other energy prices were the big impetus behind April inflation, which rose to an annual 1.7 per cent.
Pump prices have risen 11.6 per cent from last April, while fuel oil and other fuels surged 36.9 per cent, the fastest increase since September 2005. Taking gasoline prices out of the calculation, the inflation rate would have been 1.3 per cent in April.
Given that provincial and federal taxes make up almost one-third of the price of gas, it's a myth to say governments can do nothing about the pump price, said John Williamson of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“The government has a great deal to do with rising gas prices; 28 per cent of pump price is tax,” he said.
“If governments were to act, either in solo or in concert, prices would come down.”
The GST cut, Mr. Williamson added, doesn't really affect the price of gas.
TRANSLATION: Harper is full of sh#t.
But Chisholm Pothier, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's press secretary, said the GST cut has in fact “given Canadians a break at the gas pumps.”
“It lowers the price of gas every time a Canadian fills up their tank,” he said.
Toronto-area Liberal MP Dan McTeague said he also doesn't buy Mr. Harper's argument, and he noted that with fuel prices in their current range, Ottawa stands to add a substantial amount of cash to its coffers.
If prices keep rising unchecked, it could bring the Canadian economy “to its knees,” said Mr. McTeague, a long-time gasoline price watchdog.
“It's already having a troubling, damaging impact on the manufacturing sectors of this country,” he said.
Despite record-high oil costs, prices at the pump — while painfully high — have not yet risen in tandem.
Mr. McTeague predicted that disparity would come to an end as early as Thursday as gas and diesel prices begin to rise.
TRANSLATION: Jim Flaherty is full of sh*t. Canadians are going to pay $1.50 a litre by the end of spring.
Mr. Harper also made stops Wednesday in several southern Ontario communities and held an hour-long roundtable discussion with town residents in Thorold, where he heard their views on the struggling economy, disappearing jobs and other local issues.
Ralph Journeay, who is self-employed and runs his own auto parts business, said he was impressed that Mr. Harper took the time to listen to their concerns, and he supported the prime minister's GST cuts.
He said he couldn't fault Mr. Harper for saying he was powerless to control gas prices.
“Our hands are tied. I wish we could [lower prices] but I don't know that we can,” Mr. Journeay said.
“But that 2 per cent on the GST, that's helping, and hopefully in time we can get rid of all it, get rid of the other 5 per cent. That would be great.”
TRANSLATION: I'm friends with the Conservative party and probably donated to them. (A Ralph D. Journeay has given $890 to the Conservative Party since June 2004). Journalists should be more careful.

It's All About Control
And nobody likes to control the message more than this stale Conservative government. What are they afraid of? We all know somebody in the govenment will embarass us there sooner or later.

Are You Threatening Me?
Bring it on Mr. Finley. All the blundering in the world by an apparent down-and-out party and you still have no clear lead in the polls from the Canadian people.
Harpercrite said Wednesday that he clearly doesn't want an election until 2009. Yet his campaign director insists his candidates be ready by the 20th of October. Liar, Liar, pants on fire. In other words: This Throne Speech will be so ridiculous, the opposition can't help but vote against it.

Hillier's Had Enough?
Today the Canadian Armed Forces talking head finally threw a wet blanket on the Conservative military rhetoric.
We don't need new units says he. Field Marshall O'Connor will have fun with this one for the next little while trying to defend himself and lyin' Stephen for spending billions of unsanctioned military dollars.

Al-Qaeda Ready to Strike U.S. Again?
....and the sky is falling.
I guess invading Iraq, killing Saddam, occupying Afghanistan and winning the hearts and minds and spending trillions of dollars on unwinnable things hasn't accomplished G Dubya's War on Terror goals....whatever they were.
CNN reports it all here.

It's NOT a F@#king War!!!
There is a difference my friends when you're trying to define a war versus a military action. And, Afghanistan IS NOT A WAR. Because G Dubya calls it a "war on terror", it does not make it a war.
It's Bullshit!!! Pure Bullshit! If it was a f@#king war, there would be 100,000 plus troops there bombing the shit out of everything in sight. It's a military action put in place to stop a group of people called the Taliban - the same Taliban that the US government propped up for years against the Russians. We're supposed to be there to prop up a rampantly corrupt government, get rid of Al-Queda, and rebuild some infrastructure. So, does anyone in their right mind see that happening in the immediate future? When I say immediate, I mean within the next ten years. Anyone?
I, for one, will call this an "UNWINNABLE WAR". Russia couldn't beat the Taliban and our 35,000 NATO forces scattered all over the place aren't gonna beat them either. So my question is: HOW MANY MORE CANADIAN MEN AND WOMEN ARE WE WILLING TO LET COME HOME IN CASKETS AFTER 2009??? 100? 1000? 10,000? WE'VE ALREADY LOST 2.5% OF OUR CURRENT DEPLOYMENT THERE.
In the meantime, we have a little 2.5 million person genocide going on that nobody gives a rats ass about.
