The Reformer's Firebrand

*-{The New Canadian Colonist's Advocate }-* A commentary of fiery reformist sentiment from the spirit of it's 210 year old Canadian ghost publisher patron. This will be a home to the new wave of anti-partisan advocacy for defeating Canada's second "family compact" and reinstallation of responsible governance in this 21st century new Canadian democratic dominion.

CBC joins Martin's dirty Campaign

Well the gates are open and the political horses are out of their chutes eyes on the finish line….thus it is with the simplistic, shallow world of media filtered Canadian election politics….it seems to matter not that this election is about asking hard questions about constitutional and federal policy issues that have been neglected for a decade by a government consumed with expanding a covert political patronage network with misapropriated tax dollars,… or that it has become a patriotic duty for all truly responsible citizens to remove a proven criminal governing regime...or that political change is necessary to avoid the ethical degeneration of a single party state,…. all that matters is selling the “event” to the public as some kind of light amusement....a superficial sporting endeavor and urging them to mindlessly choose a winning horse and become part of the fan section for the nag while favorite nag's cronies have falsely handicapped him and intend to fix the race….just to ensure a win, they have partisans in the press box shooting at the other horses if they move ahead of the nag handicapped to win.

The analogy of the 2005-06 federal election as being a fixed “horse race” is a bit banal but it seems accurate from what I have seen of the first day. The “Martin” horse is presented at news conferences (staged public handicapping sessions) as the winner by default because no negative questions are asked while the “Harper” horse is given negative self-answering questions lobbed at him…we can see the Canadian media as being actively “handicapping” the electoral race by suggestive negative messaging of specific candidates while giving other candidates a free ride.

More about that here.

Lorrie Goldstein picked up on this trend right away (as did I) when watching the press scrums from yesterday. The real “scary” thing in Canadian political life is that the Central media is biased and partisan and is intent on becoming PART of the campaign instead of just reporting accurately on it. As usual the CBC is the worst offender when it comes to disinformation and partisan bias.

From Goldstein's observations:

What this illustrates is how totally the Liberals, who have been in power for 12 years, control our national dialogue.

If they insist that Liberal corruption, Adscam and the findings of the Gomery report are no big deal, then inevitably, that argument works its way into the media's thinking, no matter what Harper and the Conservatives say. Similarly, if they insist that Harper and the Conservatives are "scary" have a "hidden agenda" and hate Canada, then that too, inevitably influences the media's thinking.

Yesterday's coverage of the leaders' opening statements and press scrums on CBC Newsworld emphasized this.

Don Newman felt so compelled to criticize Harper's response to the "do you love Canada" question, along with another about whether he was ready to be prime minister, that he practically barged in on an unsuspecting Peter Mansbridge to declare it Harper's first big gaffe.

Now, I would have thought the more interesting questions were (a) why was Harper even asked a "when are you going to stop beating your wife" question like "do you love the country?" and (b) why didn't the media ask Martin about Gomery, since it was obvious why he wouldn't raise it.


Indeed, Martin will not “raise” the issue of a government plagued with corruption scandals from Earnscliffe to Adscam to the Gun Registry budget fraud…..so why don’t the media? And why do they make hysterical suggestive insults about Harper’s loyalty when Martin has been proven in breech of public trust? Well we all know the answer to that.

This election more than any other the national news media ( meaning essentially the cloistered media elite in TO and Ottawa) will be on trial by the Canadian public as much as the corrupt federal liberals. My feeling is that IF the Canadian public want a fair and balanced election where ALL parties/leaders are forced to answer the most pressing issues with Canadians, then the internet alternate news and blogeshpere will have to keep a very close eye on the media’s partisan spin and nail their credibility to the wall when they are found to be manipulating us for their “hidden agenda”.


The fact is, almost all of the Canadian MSM is part of the liberal patronage cartel either by ownership of direct patronage…remember the end beneficiary of the Adscam bucks were the news papers and Media networks who had to run the liberal ads…no one spends more money on media advertising than the government…..and of course they own the CBC outright so you can see the real “hidden agenda” here with the media’s political bias.

A good place to send your tips is
CBC watch…Also don't be afraid to complain to the CBC Ombudsman or the CRTC when you see CBC breaking their corporate commissioning directives by actively being partisan and selling Liberal snake oil or using misrepresntative negative messaging about the opposition…hopefully when this dirty campaign is done the MSM will share the Liberal’s smashed credibility…they deserve it.

PM Dithers Booed at Grey Cup Game

It was an awesome Grey cup Game ( would have been more awesome had the Stamps been in it) with an hard fought western win. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our bretheren in Edmonton for bringing the Grey cup back to Alberta...where it rightfully belongs...well done guys!...next year it's Calgary's turn to keep it here.


Secondly, I would like to thank our western bretheren in Vancouver for showing their civil duty and superior ethical citizenship by BOOING THE CRIMINAL ( insider monopolist gangster) PAUL MARTIN when he showed the undiminished hubris to parade his depraved theiving carcass in front of the subordinate western plebs he has maliciously robbed for his regime's institutionalized nepotism.

Thumbs up to all you folks ( and by the audio track account there was a lot of you) at the BC Place Stadium who voiced your civil outrage at corrupt politicians by loudly booing Martin when he waddled onto the field with his strained insincere smile/smirk......his presence fouled a traditional Canadian institution....but the booing made a statement that not all Canadians celebrate systemic corruption. I want to believe this is a good omen for the upcoming election... that Martin's booing at the game demonstrates a wide spread spurring of some civil responsibility that most Canadians have abandoned the past 10 years, which will result in punishing a corrupt and arrogant federal nepotistic regime.

I would like to put forth the initiative to start booing Martin and all his gangster regime when they show their mugs at public venues....boo them...do it loudly...particualrly when the cameras are rolling at their sycophantic public photo ops.....let's make it a habit and hopefully the trend will spred so people back east in the bowels of the Liberal lie machine can see that Martin and his theives are really not well recieved....and that there is a very real chance to toss this theiving vermin out of office.......be a principled Canadian...boo corruption when it is paraded in your face!

BTW: For those Albertans that had to watch the game on TV: Did you notice where King Ralph was sitting???? That's right.... right beside our CBC installed GG..2 seats down from our Golum of a PM......seems the turds stick to the same spot on the stadium blanket

ET Please phone Ottawa!

From the fruit cakes of Old Trudeaupia collection:

This blaring headline sreeched across US political sites today with depraved abandon. It is quite an eye catcher with yet another Liberal political loon hammering a nail in Canada's credibility coffin. What did Hunter Thompson ( himself a famous Lib-left loon) say about this?....ahh yes; " When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro"...and for Paul Hellyer times have certainly turned wierd:

Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien "Et" Civilizations

OTTAWA, CANADA (PRWEB) November 24, 2005 -- A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics -- relations with “ETs.”
Mr. Hellyer went on to say, "I'm so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something."

Wahoo!!... and it's not even near April first.....this is a real 3 alarm tinfoil hat alert. Well, there's another juicy legacy piece from the Trudeau cabinet for you....one finance minister ( Chretien) caught running a government jointly with the Quebec mob and neck deep in the greatest public trust scandal in Canadian history...and now another Trudeau finance minister ( Hellyer) who has become a self appointed lobbyist for little green space men, who he predicts could show up in Ottwa any day now. But, hey, this is Ottawa and the Canadian public is conditioned to accept this level of madness and illogic in its politicians....what's the big deal with expanding the single party corrupt Canadin state inter galactically...right Paul?....like star wars with a 10% skim for the party bag men.
Perhaps there is another quote from the master of "gonzo" which is more apropos to Mr. Hellyer's situation: " I wouldn't recommend drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me". Rock on Paul they msut have some high powered shit to smoke at those PET cabinet minister's reunions.

CBC gets it right for once

I heard this diatribe by the CBC's Rex Murphy the other night and was slack jawed at, not just the insight, but also the source (CBC). A more poignant and crystal clear assessment of the Feds failed duck gun registry has never been penned....and to be blared out over Trudeaupia's favorite propaganda net indicates to me the Duck Gun registry is now nothing more than another Liberal albatross....totally useless in operation and kept on life support purely for face saving value. When you see the majority of liberal MSM calling for its ( the registry) demise, you realize that this is a fraud so big that even the liberal press wants to distance themselves from it.... supporting it at this point in time ( in the realities of the cost frauds and gun violence in TO which the registry is totally useless to prevent) will result in a potentially fatal blow to the credibility of the MSM.......only the most corrupt of party insiders directly responsible for the fraud, that the registry has been revealed to be, are the ones defending it....that and their fervent special interest puppets who similarly stand to be implicated in the fraud when it is finally exposed by the Auditor General this next session.

I usually don't post another author's article in its entirety, but Rex Murphy's take on this deserves to be read and taken to heart by all Canadians who want to end the type of waste, corruption and errant bureaucratic idiocy to which the registry had become a metaphor:


Rex Murphy's "Point of View" -
(from the transcript CBC e-mailed me, it will be on the CBC site next week)

--- "Useless" is not a difficult word, but it's worthwhile sometimes to check a dictionary even for the most common ones. For example, the Encarta Dictionary -- that's the online newbie of lexicography --defines "useless" as "having no beneficial use, incapable of functioning usefully." Merriam Webster is terse. It just says, "ineffectual." The American Heritage says of useless, "incapable of functioning or assisting." That's a good one. The shorter Oxford is economical and brutal. It says useless means "having no purpose."

I was peering into all of these semantic windows just for the purpose of making sure that when I said the federal gun registry -- cost close to two billion -- was useless, that I was on the right track. I think we are. There have been 69 murders in Toronto over this year. Many worthy, innocent people have tasted the deepest grief. The killings have profoundly disturbed, agitated, and alarmed the communities where they have occurred. The most recent murder was of an 18-year-old boy outside a church attending the funeral of a 17-year-old boy who was himself murdered the week before.

This brazen blasphemous horror has appalled everyone. It has shaken Toronto to the core. In none of these killings has the gun registry been of the slightest assistance. It has been ineffectual, of no beneficial use, incapable of assistance. This useless pretence of a policy has answered no valuable purpose. I bring this up in this particularly bleak context not primarily to take a smack at the gun registry, though it deserves every smack it gets, but to point out this further consideration: That cosmetic legislation, legislation designed to make people feel good, has a price beyond the two-billion-dollar sign. Such legislation always amounts to a pretence and an evasion.

It was always known that if there was a problem with inner-city crime, gangs, and guns, the response had to be one that dealt with inner cities and with the gangs and their guns. And that meant confronting some of the most delicate issues, mixing race, poverty, police relations with black communities, drugs, and sheer wilful thuggery on the part of some- -- issues that are volatile, not susceptible to a quick fix, and barricaded by a whole set of topics most politicians would prefer not to have to deal with.

Throwing up a national gun registry as an answer, even a partial one, to these problems, was a fake response, allowed some civic leaders and interest groups to pose for the cameras, and give a vague impression that the real problems in all their complexity were being addressed. They weren't. Gun murders in Toronto, and particularly within some areas of Toronto's black community, are not, and never were, primarily a licensing and registration dilemma. Nor are they, by the by, a cross-border smuggling problem or a gun manufacturers' problem. Gun murder in this city is a Toronto problem, it is a gang problem, and it is a problem of relations between the police and portions of the black community. The wretched gun registry has been absolutely useless in assisting police in finding the villains who have been killing people.

Well, the homicide rate in Toronto this year is partially the price being paid for this charade, and a most grievous illustration of the cost that evasion, purchased by feel-good legislation, eventually extracts a price inestimably higher than the two billion dollars that useless registry has cost so far.

For The National, I'm Rex Murphy

Amen Rex...and my deepest sympathies to those relatives of the murdered who were fooled into thinking a 2 billion dollar a duck gun registry would make them safe from urban-centric crime....we now see the only people pushing that "feel good" fraud were people who have the financial/political means to escape the inner city criminal violence they evangelise silly solutions for....It's impossible to see the causation of inner city crime from the posh cocktail circuits of Rosedale and Mont royal. Murphy's revelations are all the more stinging in light of the fact PMPM is now holding yet another feel-good conference on the hollow symbolism of "GUN CRIME" when it is "Ethnic Gangs" that are at issue...as if they will become model citizens the minit the impossible happens...which is to depricve them of weapons......the criminal violence will continue to rage as long as vacant politicos keep selling sybolism over substance.

A Good News Day... Beer fights Cancer.. Hallelujah!!

Just when you felt things were at their darkest with criminals running the country, theft and deceit as a new Canadian value and the police state spying on your phone calls and e-mail....the Lord provides a shaft of golden light in the gloom. In this case it is light shining through a golden shaft of beer. A new University study in cancer research has found that a key ingredient in beer ( xanthohumol , from the hops) produces a powerful anti-cancer agent.


"But if ways can be developed to significantly
increase the levels of xanthohumol or use it as a nutritional supplement - that
might be different. It clearly has some interesting cancer chemopreventive
properties, and the only way people are getting any of it right now is through
beer consumption."


Apparently the only way to get this now, until the health food suppliment industry isolates it and produces oral capsule, is drink beer!..Hoppy beer is best. The news article states that Porter and Stout contain higher hop levels but this is misleading. There are plenty of ales, like India pales and lagers like steam beer that have ample hop content.

Then I read this:


"And a supposed "health" beer is being developed in
Germany with higher levels of xanthohumol.


God bless that German engineering...while the brewers on this side of the Atlantic are busy sucking the goodness out of commercial beer to sell it to bar-hopping fudgepackers and Liberals ( aren't these the same?) the Germans are developing a cancer cure with full body, frothy head and German brewing whallop to it. German anti-cancer beer...medicine where is thy sting? Wahoo! ....I can see the squat-to-pee "light beer" market just crashing....except for the sister boys that still sip this gutless soda water. Here's my personal recommendation for high xanthohumol hopped anti-cancer imbibing until the "health drink" hits the shelves:

Liberty ale
Anchor Steam Beer
Bock beers like Schneider Aventinus
Frankenheim Altbier
Magnotta Altbier
Magnotta India Pale Ale
Hoegaarten White beer

Cheers, and have a good time cancer fighting...and oh..take yer woman with you:


"In recent years, it has also been shown that some
prenylflavonoids found in hops are potent phytoestrogens, and could ultimately
have value in prevention or treatment of post-menopausal "hot flashes" and
osteoporosis - but no proper clinical trials have been done to study this.
Information about these compounds appears to be spreading. Hop-containing herbal preparations are already being marketed for breast enlargement in
women"

Ein Prosit fellow travellers!..To your health!

Quote of the month

Time again for the quote of the month gig kids. I welcome your submissions. This month let's limit ourselves to words from the Canadian establishment or the plebians who suffer undr their arrogant rule. This month I'm submitting a qute from a media source which, essentially, lays bare the scam in Canadian media and exposes the reason we have suffered under the single party state:


It's not a stretch to declare that the movers and shakers in Canadian media regard themselves as part of a ruling establishment - an establishment afflicted with an Ontario-Quebec urban mindset that largely views western Canada as the "other" Canada - too quaint and too crude, too friendly to the US, too admiring of large and intimidating pickup trucks to be trusted to govern their fair and sophisticated land. Their problem with Harper has little to do with social conservativism or lack of personal charisma. It's more basic than that - the Conservative party as it now stands is populated with outsiders, "hidden agenda" is just code-speak for "they're not one of us". (Kate McMillan-SDA blogger)

The Liberal culture of entitlement has long and generous fingers. A Harper government is indeed "scary" - the prospect of being on the outside looking in frightens the bejesus out of long time journalists and media pundits who understand that with a Conservative victory, the sweet little Liberal patronage pot at the end of their career rainbow is unlikely to be claimed - or offered.? ( Tom Korski, Sun Media)

Lest We Forget

Engraved in the cenotaph in my home town:

"If ye break faith with we who die,
we will not sleep"

Amen

Today is a day to remember those who truly served our nation...the sacrifice they paid and the scant honors they recive for it. It is a time to reflect ( in the wake of Canada's largest government corruption scandals) about those who served their nation and those who claim to. Frankly, in my mind there is no doubt who has served this nation' freedom and democratic institutions best and who deserves the gold lined federal pensions.....but justice must come another day...lest we "break faith" with the truly deserving...I hope our war dead can sleep with the effort we have shown to protect their aging comrades in arms and our nation from the enemy within.

A poignant chain letter

I recieved this chain letter in an email and I thought I'd share it with you along with some comment and see what you think of the sentiment expressed here:

This is an editorial written by an Toronto newspaper. He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!

IMMIGRANTS, NOT CanadiansMUST ADAPT.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Canadians. However..... the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Canada Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants
However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.

This idea of Canada being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Canadians....... we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH/FRENCH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

"We Stand On Guard For Thee" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women.......on Christian principles............. founded this nation..... and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home.........because God is part of our culture.

We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. But once you are done complaining....... whining...... and griping....... about our flag....... our pledge...... our national motto........or our way of life....I highly encourage you to take advantage of one other Great Canadian Freedom....... THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.


Can't add much to this except to say the nation was founded and built by 2 Christian cultures under 2 languages and 2 types of law ( Napoleonic Code and British commonlaw)....this was PET's "two solitudes" which ( along with the first nations culture) prompted the original usage of the concept of multi-culture as expressed in the charter.....this construct has since been abominated into the current misinterpretation by successive statist federal regimes operating under the premises of cultural marxist engineered society....they think that the original 2 solitudes should be expanded to mean unlimited multiple solitudes...many nations within a nation and many cultures within a culture......in the end this results in loss of national identity just as the communist menifesto prescibes under the heading "cultural homogenization".

There are 3 things which define a nation:

Common language
common custom/culture
Constitutionally Defined and defended borders

We have seen dangerous compromise on all 3 of these "binding agents" of nationalism, curtosy of federal regimes dabbling in cultural Marxism. A nation so divided cannot long stand.

Constitutional dyslexia genetic in Trudeau Brats

Here's the latest global collectivist, one world government ranting from the Hoser royals:

"We hold the Nahanni in trust for the world. Let's protect it"

Question:
for the more astute Canadians....what basic Canadian constitutional principle has the Trudeau whelp obliterated in this delusional feel good sentiment?

Clue: It involves the stark differences in the concepts of civilly responsible "commonwealth trust" as part of constitutional sovereignty as opposed to the global collectivist concept of arbitry redistributed wealth, unaccountable elitist regulation and devolved national sovereingty.

Seems Young Justin's concepts of constitutional sovereignty are as dyslexic as his fathers....perhaps he has been tutored by "Uncle Moe" in the finer points of globalist elitism.

Hey Paul! Where's the election you promised?


Significant in today's headlines is the fact that our local low rent socialist street-walker, Jack Layton, has announced he will "consider" not propping up a corrupt federal regime (which has lost the moral authority and constitutional parliamentary confidence to govern) because the payola for his support was not sufficient. Funny, from my historical perspective the cheapest buy on the market is a commie politician...Layton is no different ....perhaps real socialists Like Ed Broadbent reminded his young leader that civilly responsible principle, accountable representative government and parliamentary ethical propriety take precedent over Jack's crass partisan pandering and payola soliciting.

In any event, why are we even having this conversation? Why is PM Dithers back on the spin bandwagon to avoid a fall election. Wasn't this the lame duck Kleptocrat who pleaded with us to "wait for Gomery" and he would call an election 30 days after the release of the commission? Well Paulie, Gomery is finished, the report is in our hands and you are still a manipulating belly-crawling skank who will not keep promises.

PAUL, CALL THE ELECTION!

Or continue to prove why you have no moral authority to even sit in Parliament.

No matter the out come of this election, whether it be a minority Liberal or CPC government or a majority Liberal or CPC government...ANY reappearance of the core of this federal Liberal regime as a result of the irresponsible voters of Central Canada will result in a confederal and constitutional crisis. The regions who vote to oust a criminal and corrupt federal regime will NOT accept them as a government or opposition...they are suspects in a vast criminal conspiracy and they should be facing investigation , not re-election!

Had this federal liberal political cartel any semblence of parliamentary responsibility or "Canadian values" they would have had their leaders and all Cretien era MPs step down to be replaced by new candidates for the public to assess until this scandal was thoroughly investigated and charges laid or exonerations issued.

But "ethics" is not in the Martinista lexicon...unless it's used as a tawdry toss off statement of situational values used to dupe the voters who they have so much contempt for.

SO boys and girls, today's question is:

Why, has a PM who has repeatedly stated he want's to be "responsible" for this scandal, to call an election as soon as Gomery has filed his findings, not done what he has promised nor done the traditional executive response to scandal this large and stood down as PM and called an election sooner than Gomery?

We all know the answer to this....it's because Liberal political cartel "ethics", values" and all other lofty ideals amout to one thing these days; retaining power for power's sake alone and doing ANYTHING ( including crimes) to acheive that end. Canadians have been cheated of a responsible, representative government for the past decade and it appears this trend will continue if Central Canada's demented voter is duped into supporting the party of political perversion one again.
