The Harper Regime relies on lies and half-truths in order to keep its hold on power in Canada.
This blog reminds us of many of the lies that the Harpercrites are telling in order to stay at the helm.
Understand this: they are lies and the Harper Regime is misleading the Canadian public.
Mel Hurtig’s folks were kind enough to remind us of this letter to the Governor General:
September 9, 2004
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson,
C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., C.D.
Governor General
Rideau Hall
1 Sussex Drive
Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A1Excellency,
As leaders of the opposition parties, we are well aware that, given the
Liberal minority government, you could be asked by the Prime Minister
to dissolve the 38th Parliament at any time should the House of Commons
fail to support some part of the government’s program.We respectfully point out that the opposition parties, who together
constitute a majority in the House, have been in close consultation. We
believe that, should a request for dissolution arise this should give
you cause, as constitutional practice has determined, to consult the
opposition leaders and consider all of your options before exercising
your constitutional authority.Your attention to this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.
Leader of the Opposition
Leader of the Conservative Party of CanadaGilles Duceppe, M.P.
Leader of the Bloc QuebecoisJack Layton, M.P.
Leader of the New Democratic Party

The Harpercrites are about to pound Canadians with a pack of lies and we all need to understand how far they are from the truth.
This report from NPR identifies that one out of every three toys could cause permanent toxic damage to your child.
Merry F*%&in Christmas!!
For those of us who can only dream of fragmentation on the Conservative side, this story links to a group that is gaining a little momemtum in the West.
Of course, I think it would be criminal to advocate losing the West or even encouraging a lack of unity when we need it most, but the odds are they’ll split the Conservative vote just when they need it most. The Harper regime might lose its foothold in BC especially, shattering any chance of a majority.
So … don’t tell anyone about it, especially if you’re a Conservative because they’ll probably go out there with bats and socks to shove down everyone’s throats, friends of democracy that they are.
And if they silence the movement successfully? We’ll once again see the true deep, dark (black and) blue that the Conservatives really are.
On occasion, I’m a little pissed with the complacency of reporters with the CBC, but on the whole, I have to admit that they do a good job of keeping a balance with their objectivity and bias.
Don Newman, on the other hand, is not going to let John Baird get away with the lies they’re spreading about the coalition, nor is he going to let John Baird get by with saying that if the Harper regime doesn’t agree with what happens at the end of January, they’ll ‘go over their heads’ and ignore the demands of a Governor General that will finally recognize the will of the majority.
See the interview here , as originally cited by BCer in Toronto .
Blackwater is the hired military present in Iraq and they’ve abused their power on a number of occasions.
This story refers to a case in Iraq where 5 Blackwater Guards were charged for a massacre in Iraq.
Canadian mainstream media companies are not doing themselves any favours.
CTV has absolved itself of any objectivity, along with friends at Canwest, calling into question the role of mainstream media in Canada. We see in their stock prices that the market doesn’t agree with them, so why do they continue to mis-lead the Canadian public?
Are they simply mouthpieces for the Harper regime? Or are they as Harpercritical as their dictator himself?
In a video cited by Impolitical , we get a sense of this bias. Lloyd Axworthy is asking Craig Oliver "can’t they get past this" and Oliver responds "Get on with the budget".
Both Axworthy and Craig Oliver fail to recognize that we do not have a functioning government and that if there is a crisis (take your pick: Listeria outbreak, Tar Sands leak, massive unemployment … oh yeah … those have already been brought to us by the Harper regime), who will respond ?
As a form of protest, I recommend that we organize a media boycott on several levels:
For all of 3 minutes and 45 seconds, the video below produced by these people captures the sentiment of Canada concerning Harper and the Harpercrites.
Nice work.
My confidence in the intelligence of Canadian voters is declining daily. Many people want a ‘cooling off’ period in order to satisfy the blood lust of the Harper regime and while we ‘take a break’, tens of thousands of Ontarians lose their jobs.
Stephen Harper: Future generations of Canadians, if there is such a thing, will remember you as a small, greedy and petty little man and the WORST leader this country ever had.
Today, Canada reached an all time low: 101 dead in Afghanistan .
RIP.
I wish Canadians would stop falling for the lies that Harper tells.
