Victory fund powers Liberal Bus

The Liberal bus was off on its merry way across the nation today when it broke down. Its a bit unfortunate that the bus had a sign on it that said it was powered by the Victory Fund. I guess the Fund is a little low right now.

The imagery is too much!

Young men dance for G20 Riot geared Police

It looks like we in Toronto are going through our second heat wave of the year, the first was the G20 and now it's mother nature leading the charge.  I just hope that something like these young men dancing sexy for cops will happen again.

Afghan detainee stuff

What is it with the Liberals? They use to stand for something. Its been several days since the infamous Detainee agreement was reached. The deal stinks. The deal allows the Harper government to continue to establish brand new executive rights, ala US President style.

Far and Wide has a good post on the deal so no rehashing here. I point you there...

I do have one more thing to say, with respect to the Liberals weak position on the detainee documents. One, they (LPC) are worried about Parliament exercising its power to the detriment of a future Liberal government.

Only one problem with that logic ...

Rider Pride

Hey, being from the province of Saskatchewan, I want to echo Buckdog's post!

Rider pride will be on the loonie next year! Now is that the most awesome thing you have ever heard. They better make a lot of those loonies as Saskachewan folks will be saving every single one of them! Maybe even some green loonies! CBC has more.

Pardon Compromise goes ahead!

It looks like the House of Commons did today what they should be doing all the time. Meet, discuss, compromise, go forward. Albeit not yet official, The Liberals still have to decide on the compromise bill on pardons, I have little doubt they will be opposed to the deal as it is laid out.

It appears the NDP compromise will move ahead. Its likely the Harper Conservatives will not acknowledge it is an NDP suggestion, still it is satisfying. Hey, Good on Iggy if the Libs go along with this.

I stand with Libby

Its too much.  My most favourite MP, Libby Davies has been wrongly maligned by the pro Israel lobby that takes every opportunity to pounce on people that have anything to say other than blind adhereance to Isreal, right or wrong, Isreal is always justified (and thus right) in their actions. 

Others have written well on this, check out "Libby Davies" on Dawg's Blog and Murray Dobbin at the Georgia Straight and Pogge, Alison and Cliff.  

I am strongly in Libby's corner. 

Quote of the Day - Harperite

"This bill needs to be passed right now," Toews said Wednesday, shooting down the NDP's counter bill that would prevent Homolka's pardon, but leave the rest of the bill for debate in the fall.

"I'm not willing to gut this bill for political expediency," Toews said. (toronto sun)

That's just funny. Doesn't he see how stupid he sounds!

The &(*%#^*^ Party of Canada

Okay, its crunch time for the Liberal Party of Canada. The Conservatives have tried to create a wedge issue by bringing forward a "Pardon" bill at the last minute, inciting the name of convicted killer Karla Homolka. Homolka will be entitled to a Pardon on July 5. Just three weeks away. See MacLeans article here.

I understand their need to get something done to prevent another unreal deal for Holmoka. So why have the Conservatives waited till now to do this. The NDP have offered a bill that would ensure Holmoka does not receive a pardon. This would allow proper debate on the rest of the pardon legislation after the House returns in the fall.

This is not about Holmoka, its about the Harper Conservatives trying to get one by the rest of Parliament. If I were a Liberal, I would suggest their co-operation with the Conservatives here would be the last straw. Why vote Liberal if you can vote Conservative and get the real thing.

Unhappy Libs views can be found here....

Oh yeah, The &(*%#^*^ Party of Canada. The Liberal part is gone. You fill in the blanks.
