The NDP Strikes Back!
In response to the first attack ads on Mulcair from the Conservatives, the folks from the New Democratic Party of Canada launch two attack ads on Harper - one in English, one in French - on their website.
Justice! Okay, justice would have been her getting the boot after ^not telling the truth to the members of the HOC, but I’ll take it!
Helicopter Pete is also looking at switching jobs.
$16 orange juice smh…
The Conservatives give white supremacists a reason to cheer. Bill C-304, introduced by Conservative backbencher Brian Storseth, repeals Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which bans hate speech transmitted over the Internet or by telephone.
Open Letter to PM Harper From Former Fishery Ministers
Dear Prime Minister Harper:
As privy councillors from British Columbia who have served as ministers of Fisheries and Oceans in past federal governments, we wish to inform you of our serious concern regarding the content of Bill C-38 and the process being used to bring it into force.
We have had lengthy and varied political experience and collectively have served in cabinet in Progressive Conservative and Liberal governments alike. We believe we have a fair understanding of the views of Canadians. Moreover, we believe there is genuine public concern over the perceived threat this legislation poses to the health of Canada’s environment and in particular to the well-being of its fisheries resources. We are especially alarmed about any possible diminution of the statutory protection of fish habitat, which we feel could result if the provisions of Bill C-38 are brought into force. Migratory salmon and steelhead are icons of our home province. Our experience convinces us that their continued survival would be endangered without adequate federal regulation and enforcement, particularly in the area of habitat protection.
A nation-wide arrest warrent is out for Luka Rocca Magnotta, 29. He is suspected of crimes relating to the severed foot that showed up at CPC headquarters yesterday.
It seems that the foot is from a torso that was found in Montreal.
Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating the suspect.
Part 1 of 2 - Conservative MP David Wilks explains how Ottawa really works or as I call it “I’d be against them if I could!”
At one point in this meeting he mentions that he wouldn’t support Bill-C38 if he had a chance to defeat it. Basically, that would take down the government, as the budget is a confidence vote.
Part 2 of 2 -
A Spooky Shadow Cabinet
A new website is on the internet today. At first glance, this website will make you think it is Halloween!
A second glance will let you know the site is actually dedicated to informing you about the NDP’s front bench of government critics, or a shadow cabinet as it is referred to by many of the parliaments around the world.
Finally, a glance at the bottom of the page lets you know that the creepy website is brought to you by the Conservative Party of Canada.
Check out Muclair’s NDP as seen by the Conservatives here.
Does it give you the goosebumps, or make you groan like a mummy?
