I too thought that people would have realized what a danger they are to the U.S. and the world. However I see that some independent candidate may yet thwart them, so needless to say I'm keeping my fingers crossed. And of course my heart is with all the great progressives in the U.S. Wouldn't it be wonderful if one day we could create a big movement in North America so we could reach across the border and set an example for the world. It will happen one day I'm sure of that, but all we can do now is fight the right-wingers as hard as we can, and try to get the message out to those too ignorant or apathetic to vote. I saw a lot of amazing political activism in Scotland this summer, and it was truly an inspiring sight...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-76643403265381871932014-10-17T01:32:16.335-04:002014-10-17T01:32:16.335-04:00hi salamander....I remember the prorogation crisis...hi salamander....I remember the prorogation crisis well. I remember demonstrating in the street with progressives of all stripes, and thinking that this was the beginning of the end of the Con regime. But of course it wasn't, and before long it was business as usual. Still I do remember how desperate the Harper regime was, and I'm still hopeful that we can create some kind of movement in the next election campaign to help drive the Cons from power. If only we had managed to do it back then, think how much pain we would have avoided...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-38077976122925838232014-10-16T20:08:39.951-04:002014-10-16T20:08:39.951-04:00LOL.

The left, center and right wing political parties are full of masters of deception, fraud, manipulation and lying. It is up to the electorate to sort through all the rhetoric and determine what is the truth and which politicians are honest and deserving of our vote. Here in the U.S. the republican / tea-bagger cabal is poised to take control of congress because so many Americans have decided to be voluntarily ignorant about the policies of the right wing fanatics and the harm they will do to our national society and the basic foundations of our Republic. Canada is facing the same sort of propaganda campaign by the ruling party, the Cons, who are positioning themselves to win re-election once the polls show them with a commanding lead by calling for early national elections. I do what I can here in the U.S. to stem the right wing tide that may engulf us, and I am watching the political situation in Canada and hoping the people of that great nation will realize America is on the precipice of turning into a plutocracy and will reject that political path for their nation.Bucknackthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07845859179236723434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-20093217561503871912014-10-16T08:17:15.887-04:002014-10-16T08:17:15.887-04:00.. Yes.. PM Harper, his PMO and those quisling MP&..... Yes.. PM Harper, his PMO and those quisling MP's Ministers & the Government Minders are folding together the function of our Government ministries. Thus Environment is falling into the realm of Resources as is DFO - Department of Fisheries & Oceans & Coast Guard. The pet affectation of Harper is Norwegian owned farmed salmon farms under Dept of Agriculture. We really don't understand the true role of Gail Shea at DFO in her 2nd stint there, following the failures of Keith Ashfield, nor do we truly understand the bizarre actions of Peter Kent when he signed for the gutting of Environmental Legislation along with saint Jim Flaherty and robo Joe Oliver.. Screw the caribou & the boreal, Harper = Paramountcy<br /><br />It all kind of blended together.. with Nigel Wright riding tall in the saddle with Ray Novak & Jenni Byrne, legal beagle Arthur Hamilton.. and suddenly Canada was blasted by prorogues, omnibus budgets, extreme secrecy, denials and obstruction from Tony Clement and there was John Baird flitting about shrieking his famous prorogue call to arms 'we'll go over the heads of Parliament, the people, the Governor General.. we'll go to The Queen !'<br /><br />Yes.. one Harper/Baird legacy shall be 'over their heads' .. they invented that one<br />but it has nothing to do with J Trudeau.. it was an insult hurled at all Canadians.. no mistaking that.<br /><br />Massive election fraud followed, more secrecy, more revelations of what was buried in those time bomb Flaherty omnibus budget bills, more denials, more scandals.. lie lie lie about the F-35 boondoggles. Responsible Government is a euphemism for Secret Squirrel Economic Experiments Inc with spying on ordinary concerned Canadians part of the package.. The weather is simply what Stephen Harper tells us it is.. and The Environment can go stuff itself.. the PMO assures.the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
