(M) Why the PigMartins didn't want to give Harper a chance.

[tough love]

The Tories are getting a passing grade from a healthy proportion of voters who didn't support them in the election, two new polls suggest.

Forty percent of Liberal voters, and a quarter of NDP and Bloc Quebecois voters, told Decima Research they were generally satisfied with Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government.

The Tories captured 36% of the vote during the election in January.

Pollster Bruce Anderson cautions the survey results don't mean Liberal, NDP and Bloc supporters would vote Tory if an election was held tomorrow.

But the party is doing something right.

Another huge plus for Harper will be the progress his govn will soon realize concerning our soft wood dispute with the States, due to Harpers refreshing style of diplomacy which does NOT resemble the message board style of politics which those idiot PigMartins practiced when dealing with our (mighty in many ways) neighbor.

I put little faith in that article tl.

Since we know that Heir Harper doesn't permit the media access to him or his ministers, any media reports coming out of Ottawa these days must be approved by Heir Harper and the Ministry of State Propoganda first.

But let's put that aside for a moment. The Cons haven't done anything positive yet, they'd only been back in Ottawa for a week when they decided to vote themselves a pay raise and then adjourn parliament for the spring break. I'm just waiting until the Heir Harper and the Cons release their first budget.
That will get the voters attention.. and point out in stone.. how they were duped into believing Heir Harper.

He played them for fools and much like the previous cons, we're going to be left to cleaning up their shit for years after they're gone.

Any word on when Heir Harper's going to remove the GST from the price on gas at the pumps.
Afterall, he did promise that if he were elected, if gas were to rise above $.85 per litre he'd axe the GST on it.
Oh wait, my bad, this is Prime Minister Hypocrite we're talking about..
He's not going to do that now that he has been elected.

Harper has been in power how long? Yeah, I thought so. He just got the keys to the place and hasn't even presented a budget yet. He has 13 years of breaking promises before he shatters the gLiberal's record at doing so, so cut the guy some slack.

He's already declared the Tammil Tigers a terrorist group. I wonder why the gLiberals never did that....

Ottawa adds Tamil Tigers to terror list

TERRY WEBER

Globe and Mail Update

Ottawa has added the Sri Lankan separatist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam to its list of terrorist organizations, calling the move “overdue” and citing the group's “repeated use of violence” for the decision.

Adding the group to the government's list of declared terrorist groups means it cannot legally raise funds in this country.

It is the first organization added to the list by the Conservative government since it took office and the 39th such declaration under this country's Anti-Terrorism Act.

“The decision to list the LTTE is long overdue and something the previous government did not take seriously enough to act upon,” Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day said.

“Our government is clearly determined to take decisive steps to ensure the safety of Canadians against terrorism.”

In making the decision, Ottawa said it conducted an “extensive analysis” of security information and intelligence to make sure the “stringent legal test outlined in the Criminal code was met.”

The legislation is aimed at combatting terrorist activities, including curtailing the ability to raise funds. Under the Criminal Code, it is illegal for any one to provide support, facilitate or participate in the activities of a terrorist group, including providing any financial support.

Canada's official position is in support of a negotiated settlement to the situation in Sri Lanka.

A Human Rights Watch report issued last month alleged the widespread extortion and intimidation on behalf of the separatist Tamil Tigers, although that report was highly criticized by the Canadian Tamil Congress, which questioned its methodology and conclusions.

In making Monday's announcement, Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay said the group's “repeated use of violence since signing a ceasefire agreement is unacceptable and seriously calls into question its commitment to the peace process.

“The Sri Lankan government must also fulfill its pledge to bring a negotiated resolution to the conflict.

“Canada will continue to work with international supporters of the peace process to help the parties reach a resolution,” he said.

Ottawa said the group has been in armed conflict with the Sri Lankan government since 1983. The group, the federal government added, “is known for its commitment to using indiscriminate terror tactics and suicide bombings.”

“Since the commencement of conflict more than 20 years ago, over 64 000 deaths have occurred,” the Canadian government said.

Mr. Day said the listing of the group is meant to support Canada's Tamil community in Canada.

Sri Lankan groups have argued against adding the organization to the terrorist list, arguing that Canada will lose its ability to pursue a peaceful end to the Sri Lankan conflict.

The United Nations, as well as the United States and Britain, have also declared the group a terrorist organization over the use of suicide bombers and assertions that it had been involved in the assassinations of government leaders, including former Indian prime minister Rajiv Ghandi in 1991.

Previously, the Canadian government had banned specific Tiger members from entering this country and kept the group on a list of proscribed organizations whose assets must be frozen if found here.

The government said Monday's decision does not prevent from members of the Tami community living in Canada from continuing to send money home to Sri Lanka. Nor does it prevent Canadian aid work in Sri Lanka.

But wait, wasn't Harper trying not to be them?
Wasn't that his platform?
Oh my bad, that only applied until he was elected.
Then it's been a case of well, they did it so we can do it too...

Hypocrites.. nothing like them.

Wow, so he declared a group terrorists.. too bad the Tamils that actually live here in Canada don't view them as terrorists.

But we wouldn't want to have a group that traditionally doesn't vote for the Tories being able to help their families back home now would we.

Fuck me, it's true.

I'm hopng he'll add Basques to the list, with their bombs and whatnot..

Otis; you knash and wail in vain.
Did your PigMartins teach you nothing?

What matters is not what The Politards in power do or do not do, but the preception which they present to the majority of the public. eg: Gun Reg.

So far; as the above polls confirm, their actions to date have proven to be surprisingly favorable with those who matter.
Now why would or should The Harps concern themselves with anything your blinder kind has to say, when they just have to keep on keeping on to gain the almighty majority they covet?

Through the eyes of those who matter -> The Tories are getting a passing grade from a healthy proportion of voters who didn't support them in the election

Bottom line, narrow minded partisan opinion no longer matters.

Think golf, Bud.

[fix]

tl... wait until they take a poll that really matters.
You know, like one after the Cons release their first budget and it offers less in the way of tax cuts than what the Liberals had promised.

Bottom line, they've had mostly a free pass for the first few months. If Heir Harper keeps pissing off the media.. it won't end well for him.

Think more rain, lots of it Bud.

Fair enough.
Enjoy thinking about something else until the next blow comes to fade your illusion even more then it already is.

As for pissing off the media, would that be the same "media" who yet have to pay for back stabbing Stockwell Day?
I heard sometime or other about the Harps and a CBC managerial top heavy review in the works.
I'm guessing those glorified elitist leeches are to freaking busy being scared shitless then to bother being pissed just yet.

As for the rest of the "Media" they are prolly wondering about all those golden piece off corp insentives the corrupt liberals were feeding 'em for the past ten plus yrs.
Who gives a crap about those pieces of self-serving media shit's anyway, certainly not those fine folk who approve of what The Harps have done so far, and that's all that really matters.

Props to Heir Harper for putting the over_stuffed media in it's place.

[fix]

You keep on thinking that way tl.

Remember though, it's the media who inevitably help sway the voters one way or another through their coverage and opinions.

Harper was elected in large part thanks to them this time.
Don't forget, this past election wasn't about people wanting to vote for Heir Harper. It was about them choosing to vote the Liberals out because of the non-stop media's attention to every little scandal.

Let's see... so far Heir Harper has removed Freedom of speech from his own people, freedom of the press... what's next Harper's proposing mandatory Armed Forces service time in order to meet his planned increase of 23,000 more soldiers?
Oh wait.. that's already being discussed according to a Con loving pundit.

Enjoy your opinion polls tl because reality is, the Cons aren't going to be anywhere near as popular once Canadians start seeing them in a way that they can truely understand, in the pocket books. The Cons aren't governing like a government, they're acting like an opposition party that's been given temporary control of the country while the real leaders take a short sabbatical and in the meantime think they can rule by saying well, they did it so can we.

Think of them as nothing more than a temp or a supply teacher just filling in.

One more thing.. RACK Neil Young's latest album.

LINWOOD BARCLAY


All this animosity, these bad feelings, this distrust between the Ottawa press gallery and Stephen Harper should soon be a thing of the past now that the government has got this whole lie detector screening system pretty much up and running.

Since the Conservatives took office, the media have been having a heck of a time dealing with the Prime Minister. Reporters barely get to ask Harper any questions, interviews reporters book with cabinet ministers are cancelled at the last minute without explanation, photo-ops of Harper meeting important national and international visitors are not allowed.

One might almost get the idea that Harper is, I don't know, paranoid or something. A control freak, perhaps. But the government, in its wisdom, realizes keeping the media at a distance can't last forever. Harper has decided to open the door to reporters, to let his caucus members be as up front as possible, provided reporters are willing to meet the government halfway.

That's where the lie detector thing comes in.

Before members of the press can have face-to-face interviews with members of the government, they must first answer a handful of preliminary questions while having a few, simple, non-invasive wires attached to various parts of their body.

Once the government is confident the reporter is being on the level, there's a pretty good chance the interview request will be granted.

If you're a reporter, the first half a dozen questions are very straightforward, so as to establish a baseline with the lie detector machine. You must state your name, the media organization that employs you, where your live, are you the spawn of Satan, do your taps run red with blood, that sort of thing.

Then there are some general questions that go to character. Have you ever stolen a candy bar, did you ever lie to your parents, do you sleep naked, have you ever seen porn on the Internet, innocuous stuff like that.

Then the questions become a bit more relevant to the specific interview request.

"Do your questions have anything to do with government policy?"

This is where you may run into trouble, because the representatives of this government get very prickly about having to answer reporters' questions about government policy. Saying yes here, even if you're being truthful, may prove counter-productive. But if you only want to ask a cabinet minister "Hey, did you catch Lost last night?" or "Have you noticed how the days are getting longer?" answering in the affirmative is not going to make that lie detector needle jump about as if there's been an earthquake on Parliament Hill.

Reporters will also be asked, "Have you ever written unflatteringly about the Prime Minister?" Even if you say no, and are being honest, they won't believe you, even if the lie detector backs you up. They'll simply assume the machine went on the fritz at that point. The same is likely to be true for the next question, "Is it your intention to make your interview subject look like a horse's ass?"

But if, having completed the test, you are able to persuade government officials that your intentions are honourable ("honourable" being defined by the government as "not intending to glean any useful information whatsoever"), you will be ushered in to see the politician of your choice, unless of course he is suddenly called away on urgent business, like flossing.

Also, and I nearly forgot to mention this because it's not that big a deal, there's the small matter of the full body-cavity search for supposedly off-the-record discussions. If you're a reporter, the government doesn't want you hiding a microphone in places where it would be hard to spot. So if you're watching the news, and happen to see Harper snapping on a glove, now you know what's going on.

Friction between Harper and the media is growing. At a news conference last week to unveil the new ethics rules, journalists formed a line to ask questions and rebuffed the prime minister's efforts to select reporters. Harper left after answering only two questions.

Don't think for one moment tl that those same journalists/reporters aren't going to remember his actions when the next election rolls around and the Cons are looking for some favourable publicity.

You might want to educate yourself tl...

This is one issue which isn't going to go away no matter how many times Heir Harper imitates his hero, Dubya and ends his speaches with "God Bless Canada"

Oh and it's a long read but RACK the hell out of Emmanuelle Latraverse (Radio Canada), Stephanie Rubec (Sun Media) and Isabelle Rodgrigue (Presse Canadienne) for making Heir Harper's dumb cunt look like a fucking fool.
