Oh no. Not more weird Con scandals. And not bloody Julian Fantino !!#@!!!
What with Stephen Harper whipping up bigotry to try to snatch another bleeding majority, I don't know if I can handle it eh?
This could be the story that finally drives me over the edge. And sends me tumbling into the moral abyss this country has become.
The story of Julie, the Ketchup, and the buttocks.
A few days ago I wrote a post about how Stephen Harper was turning the RCMP into Harper's police.
Just another tool in his campaign to try to win the next election.
Now please stand to attention, kiss our democracy goodbye.
And salute Harper's Army.
In my last post I pointed out that Erin O'Toole, Julian Fantino's designated successor, was just another tool of the Harper regime.
And that there was no real reason to celebrate...
Well thanks to Press Progress, here's the video evidence...
I must admit I didn't think these two shabby Cons could insult our veterans more than they did last year.
Or act in a more cowardly manner.
But a Con is a Con is a Con, and here they go again.
I didn't think it was possible for anyone to defend Julian Fantino, after all he has done to our veterans.
And after even the PMO thought he was so out of control they sent one of their top operatives to babysit him.
But apparently that wasn't enough, because there was Stephen Harper yesterday, snarling at his opponents, defending his beloved Julie.
Well after spending most of the past month travelling around the world, hopping from one photo-op to another, Stephen Harper finally returned to Parliament yesterday.
And as you can see from this grainy photo, and the weird look on Candice Bergen's face, it was not a pretty sight.
He was angry, he was bitter, he snarled at the opposition, and even his helmet hair looked like it was about to fall off his head.
But then who can blame him eh? So much has changed in such a short time.
And all his glorious delusions of winning the next election are quickly turning to excrement...
Well as you know, I have been calling the Harper government a Con Clown Circus.
But I'm afraid I was wrong, and I want to apologize. To the clowns of the world.
Because after closer inspection, and after what happened in the Commons yesterday, I think it's safe to say that the Con regime is now more like a FREAK SHOW.
Where yesterday's mutant stars were Leona Aglukkaq and Julian Fantino.
It's hard to believe that even when they claim they are making up for treating veterans so shabbily.
Still they can't control themselves.
And still they would scam them.
As you know I've been having a bit of trouble lately trying to decide who should be awarded my monthly weekly daily Con Clown Award.
There are just so many candidates, starting with Great Leader, who deserve it so much.
And today it was just too hard, and too dark in Harperland, for me to make up my mind.
So I'm going to have to ask you my beloved readers, to decide who should receive that award.
As you know, I sometimes like to portray the foul Harper regime as a Con clown circus.
Because although they are the most sinister government in Canadian history, fanatical, brutish, and cruel.
They are also hysterically incompetent.
And today was one of their best shows EVER !!!!
When I heard the news that Julian Fantino had met with a group of veterans in an apparent effort to rebuild all those bridges he has blown up in the last few years, I was suitably impressed.
Until I found out the meeting was at the Citadel in Quebec City, not Ottawa as is usually the case. So he could get as far away from the Parliamentary media as possible, short of heading for Tuktoyaktuk.
Or Stephen Harper's closet.
And that veterans who weren't prepared to join the choir and sing along with him, weren't invited.
I've written many stories about the callous way the Con regime and the military treat our wounded soldiers.
But since nothing ever seems to be done about it, and I've seen the horror up close, I'm just going to have to keep repeating this:
Making soldiers choose between their pensions and their mental health is the absolute limit.
A few weeks ago I told you how veterans are preparing to declare war on the Harper regime, that has treated them so shabbily.
And how they are planning to make their presence felt in the next election campaign.
A network of veterans across Canada is planning a co-ordinated campaign against the Conservative government during next year’s election.
“When the election is called, you’re going to see some large fallout, believe me,” said Sydney veteran Ron Clarke.
“As soon as the writ is dropped, we are in action.”
Now one of them has announced plans to go after the ghastly Con buffoon Peter MacKay.
I don't think I'll ever forget the sight of Julian Fantino running away from the wife of a wounded veteran who just wanted to speak to him.
And how Jenifer Migneault finally threw up her arms in frustration and despair and shouted at the retreating minister:
"We are NOTHING to you."
It was so powerful, it stunned me like a concussion grenade.
And how right she was.
For what else is anybody supposed to conclude from this disgusting situation?
Well as you know Julian Fantino is the worst Veterans Affairs Minister this country has ever known.
An incompetent bully if ever there was one.
But now he has a new cause. Saving us and the children of Canada from the dastardly Justin Trudeau.
And it couldn't be more disgusting.
So I'm glad to see that Justin is finally firing back.
He has betrayed Canadian veterans, he has disrespected them, he has nickel and dimed them to death.
There is never enough money to help the wounded, the elderly, and their families, or keep regional offices open.
But it turns out there is all the money in the world to try to make Julian Fantino look good.
It's hard to believe after what the Harper Cons have done to our veterans, that they could treat or betray them even more than they already have.
But that's exactly what they are doing. First they closed down those veteran service centres for no good reason.
Now they're going after their healthcare plans.
Well he wasn't available to answer questions in the House of Commons yesterday, no doubt having decided that discretion ducking and covering was the better part of valour.
After having revealed his ghastly colours, again, by first bullying a group of elderly veterans in the most disgusting manner. Then "sincerely" apologizing, sort of. Only to claim it wasn't his fault, and that the vets had been duped by the unions.
But Julian Fantino did manage to crawl into the Commons later in the day, to join his fellow Cons in crushing this NDP motion.
I don't think it's possible for Julian Fantino to sink any lower than he did the other day.
By treating elderly veterans like children and giving them the bum's rush.
But I see he's trying hard to accomplish the impossible. For there he was today defending the indefensible, blaming the victims, and trying to smear those who dare criticize him.
The other night I wrote about how disgusted I was to see Chris Alexander, the Con Immigration Minister, go after Deb Matthews, the Health Minister of Ontario, like a schoolyard bully.
For the "crime" of standing up for the right of refugee claimants to receive health care.
And I quoted this paragraph from a column by Carol Goar, that summed up what he has become.
He had the talent, the knowledge, the international experience and the diplomatic skill to be an exemplary minister of citizenship and immigration. He chose instead to use his power to crack down on sick, vulnerable people.
Only to see today that Alexander has gone after Goar...
