Nothing Tom Mulcair has ever said scares Stephen Harper more than his claim that the Dutch Disease is killing jobs all over Canada.
Especially in vote-rich Ontario where the next election will be decided.
Because if the people in that province ever realize how much Harper's Alberta First economic policies are hurting them and the future of their kids, the Cons will be out of power sooner than you can say howdy cowboy.
So the Cons and the right-wing conspiracy are always trying to claim that the Dutch Disease is just a myth, and here they go again.
If I had painted this picture of Great Ugly Gorgeous Leader, I would have put a crown on his head, and made his buttocks more fleshy, like one of Picasso's women.
Or the ridiculous Con prude James Moore.
But apart from that I quite like Margaret Sutherland's Emperor Haute Couture.
I think it captures the power structure, and the moral corruption of the Harper regime better than anyone has ever done before.
Well I see the Big Oil Cons have finally released their attack hogs.
The Harper Conservatives have finally unleashed the attack dogs on Tom Mulcair.
They've pounced on the newly minted NDP leader's musings about the economic impact of Alberta's oilsands to paint him as a divisive, ill-informed, irresponsible enemy of western Canada who is unfit to govern.
And that in the absence of Great Napoleon Leader, James Moore led the charge, with this humungous hog fart.
OK. So I was wrong.
When Christy Clark became the latest Con stooge to denounce Thomas Mulcair, for simply pointing out that the Dutch Disease is killing our manufacturing sector, I said it could only mean one thing.
Big Oil and its Con puppets were scraping the bottom of the barrel.
But I forgot I was living in the sinister petro state of Harperland.
Where the bottom of the dirty oil barrel goes all the way to China.
And I forgot about the Con Senate...
Ever since Thomas Mulcair warned that the Dutch Disease is killing this country, every shabby oil pimp and Con huckster in Canada has been lining up to denounce him.
And now we've finally reached the bottom of the dirty oil barrel.
Christy Clark, the Liberal Conservative ConLiberal Premier of British Columbia is calling Mulcair goofy.

Oh boy. What a difference a week makes. It seems like just yesterday when I was waiting for the fog to lift, and wondering who will save us from Stephen Harper's ghastly regime?
Because I really don't want to live in a country like this one.
What matters in the budget is not the immediate impact of $5.2 billion in annual spending cutbacks announced by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty. Rather, it is the attempt to gradually transform Canada, from a country in which private and social needs live in uneasy balance to one where the urge for profit dominates.
In the ideal world of Stephen Harper, social programs — including public pensions for the elderly — would not exist. Retirees would be expected to get by on their own savings.
A country where there is not enough money to help old people live in dignity, but gazillions for killer planes we don't need.
