Meantime, there will be events like this held all across Canada, and beyond.

I agree with Simon that they must be shit-scared to have put out a response to Neil's words so quickly ... Lies, bullshit rhetoric, trying to pull Neil down into the cesspool with them by trying to diss his carbon footprint ...... hey Azzhole, what about when Harpo gets flown to hockey games all over the place? Or flies out to Vancouver & the Island to private meets with 'businessmen' to sell the vile pipeline that Cdns have told him loud and clear we don't want! - Are we supposed to think that's footprint free? This is how these THuGs bully and try to 'rule', with a 'do as I say, not do as I do' bullshit! <br /><br />I still honestly believe the fastest way to get rid of him is with a minimum of 1 million Canadians, on Parliament Hill; That we demand and remain there, force him to resign, and takes his sorry entourage of liars, pimps, skanks, and thieves with him.cheena1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04596653349944026042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-2076815617334338472014-01-13T19:32:31.355-05:002014-01-13T19:32:31.355-05:00hi david...thanks for the link.

But I think what that tells us is that the Cons are desperate, they are hoping to isolate First Nations' leaders and then try to bribe them. So anything that hints at a larger movement is bad news for them. And of course you're right. Just about everything the Cons say is a Big Lie. They actually do believe that if they repeat a lie enough times people will finally accept it's true. Canadians have been slow to react to that outrageous behaviour, for some of the reasons I mentioned above. But now that the Cons have revealed who they are, that denial also has to end.<br />Another term for the Harperites would be the end of this country as see know it.

We must convince more younger Canadians to vote, and convince older Canadians not to vote for the Cons as so many have done in the past.

I have worked almost every day for eight years, in my very humble way, to encourage Canadians to evict those bums, and their willing tools from power as soon as is humanly possible.

When I'm feeling very charitable, I can understand why it took so many Canadians so long to realize that the Harper gang was rotten to the core. Like the human body encountering a new bug, it took a while for before they realized that this was a government like this country had never seen before.

They lie to us by saying the exact opposite of the truth and expecting us to believe it is the truth. Take us for fools they do, and honestly, we keep falling for it as a nation, The Canadian electorate is one of the least engaged voting bodies in the world. The majority of Canadians didn't even realise Harper had withdrawn us from Kyoto, how can we expect that level of ignorance to be aware of other facts? <br /><br />I hope Young responds to Harper and his drones, that he calls them out on their bullshit. For Harper to say that Neil Young should look after his own carbon footprint before criticising the government is one of the most assheaded comments I've read in a while. Young absolutely practices what he preaches.
