If Canadians fall for it, then they get what they deserve. if they permit him to give Canada away to China, they get what they deserve. For some of us, now is a good time to develop and exit strategy because this won't be the Canada, we were raised in. At that point we can only hope Quebec does leave Canada, so we will have some place to move and still feel at "home'. <br /><br />We had a tailings pond fail here in B.C. and the mess went all over the place. There will be some half hearted, semi secret "investigation" by the B.C. lieberals (harper farm team) but once that free trade agreement is official, if its a mine owned by China, we won't be able to even sue or do anything about it. We have all seen what China has done to its own environment. Now they will be coming over here to do it to Canada. How very nice of harper.

Now that pitchforks, torches, tar and feathers have gone out of style I'm at a loss on how to react. Maybe I'll sign another petition, that will put the fear of god into them.gragorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946605923716823416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-23067458159353096552014-09-14T22:47:52.373-04:002014-09-14T22:47:52.373-04:00hi Filcher...thanks I'm glad you liked it. And...hi Filcher...thanks I'm glad you liked it. And yes, if there is anybody out there who trusts Harper to stick to his own election timetable, I've got a really nice CN tower to sell them. ;) But seriously, I do believe that if we are going to thrash the Cons both Mulcair and Trudeau have to do a much better job of exciting us with a new and exciting vision of Canada. That's why I like that image of the kid and the flag. To me it says we're taking our country back for ourselves AND the future. I have started shooting some stuff that I hope I can turn into a video that can make that point even better. I think that in this battered world a lot of Canadians are hungry for hope, and while fighting the bastard regime, we must also provide them with that as well....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-41766393782718172892014-09-14T22:40:42.248-04:002014-09-14T22:40:42.248-04:00hi Steve...I like the quote, and I liked the song ...hi Steve...I like the quote, and I liked the song Can't Buy Me Love. Unfortunately in this complacent country there are far too many Canadians that can be easily bought. And the challenge for us will be to make it clear to them that they might like being bribed now, but they will pay for it through the nose later...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-54251595868351848752014-09-14T22:37:33.376-04:002014-09-14T22:37:33.376-04:00hi Gyor...I don't plan on giving the Liberals ...hi Gyor...I don't plan on giving the Liberals a free pass, but neither do I wish to engage in partisan politics at this time.

We must defeat the Cons, and I am not sure if Trudeau is the leader we need. i am not even sure if Mulcair will be able to repair the damage.<br /><br />i noticed on your image with the boy running with a balloon, it appears his shadow falls almost as the maple leaf. Your images are great, and thought provoking at times, Simon. If he moves a little to his left the illusion is complete.Filcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09515720302942668270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-48524846339492802492014-09-14T17:48:39.165-04:002014-09-14T17:48:39.165-04:00Love you cant start it like a car, you cant kill i...Love you cant start it like a car, you cant kill it with a gun<br /> Warren Zevon<br />I hope the same applies to buying elections.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-74407357588052035472014-09-14T11:54:30.415-04:002014-09-14T11:54:30.415-04:00We must help the NDP not our "parties", ... We must help the NDP not our "parties", there is no plural here, the Liberals were even worse then Harper, the Liberals cuts to healthcare, social housing, education, and so on were far larger and more destructive, Harper can only fantasize about doing the kind of damage the Liberal party has.<br /><br /> This is not a defence of Harper, he's corrupt and toxic and he'd be worse if he could get away with it, but giving the Libs a free pass is dangerous.<br /><br />eGyorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773307017058386989noreply@blogger.com
