All the best to Tony Genco, our candidate for the upcoming bi-election in Vaughn, and his organisation.

Questions on Harper's Reaction to UN Smack-down

"As I've said before, our engagement internationally is based on the principles that this country holds dear. It is not based on popularity."

So does this mean that it is the opposite at home?

"Our values...are the things we're pursuing, and that does not change regardless of what the outcome of secret votes is."

So does that mean that you are against secret votes if they threaten your values?

Does that make you anti-democratic?

Why attack secret votes at the UN? Did you want, maybe, to know WHO voted against you? In order to get a little pay-back maybe? A little cut to foreign aid here, a little less trade there, maybe a few less flights to Canada for a foreign carrier from an unfaithful voter at the UN?

We have noted Harper's vengeful, spiteful politics over the past four years at home. If you don't support his policies, shut the f*** up or you'll pay for it. Is he now going to use that abroad, say against China? India? The EU? Washington.....?

Conservatives must be in a panic

For they have released the hound called BERNIER!

Well...

Either that or they can't control him...

My Bloc opponent is "in the dark."

So I had the luck of getting a question asked in the House on Monday by John McCallum on financing for a local project (the Pat Burns arena in Stanstead).

When the local media approached my Bloc opponent (France Bonsant), and asked her what she was doing to help the project, she replied the following:

"elle est prête à plaider la cause de la Ville de Stanstead à condition que ses dirigeants la contactent. ‘Je ne suis pas au courant ou ils sont rendus. En ayant de l’information de leur part, je pourrais faire avancer le dossier.’" (The actual quote is only on the paid part of the article - trust me, it's there)

Quick translation:

"I'll only help people if they come to me! How dare they think I would reach out to them - the horrors! Even if the issue has been reported on in all the local media, French and English, it still hasn't registered with me as something I should be concerned about. As for this major project, both in federal, provincial and municipal/private money terms, and in symbolism of remembering a local hockey hero, I have no clue what is going on. If they send me the information, I might be able to figure it out, someday. But I hope they don't. I would hate to have to take on responsibilities that I can't deal with."

Ouais...
