Wow – the american dominated NHL really doesnt want another hockey team in Canada even though the money losing Coyotes originally hailed from Canada.
NHL boss & anti-Canadian Betman is doing everything he can to stop Jim Balsille’s bid to buy this money losing team, even to suggest hes ‘untrustworthy.’

The most recent poll from Nanos indicates that not much has changed as the liberals and CPC are still in a virtual tie but the country is charaterized by region. The CPC remains strong in the west and the grits do well in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario.

Other online Yahoo polls indicate regularly on various Conservative policy issues (to do with needed crime legislation) seventy to eighty percentile support for the Tories. It’s a good bet the corrupt agenda won’t get away with their ultimate goal for the highest taxation policy in history. Canada’s ‘beentheredonethat’ and voters will be alert to that particular plan.
There was a fairly recent report that Chretien is providing legal services to coal operations in China, indicating the Liberals under Ignatieff will not touch the traditional industries, nor return to the failed Kyoto Protocol originally scribbled on a serviette on a flight to the now infamous Kyoto, Japan conference. Liberal policy/non policy virtually scribbled ‘on the fly.’
Reading the myriad new sources, print and broadcast, the Liberal brand is broken. They have no answers, letalone their inability to get even the questions right. And Canadian voters, if the polling stations count the returns right, will back our in place gov’t to the level I mention above. I’m quite looking forward to our serving gov’t being rewarded for their initiatives, particularly on expanded trade ventures with Britain, Europe and S.A. Kudos.
Just gotta say, little tykes like CHARLIE and HARRY and many like them, are the reasons for any season, time and place.. Persistence in the right agendas will simply be a matter of good cause, followed by the best effect. Heh, laugh with Charlie all the way!
Re:#3 –”Charlie and Harry”…
I had a huge laugh at this yesterday when I first saw it on a new cellphone one of my visitors had. I ran right in, found it on Youtube and posted it (it only takes a couple of minutes).
What struck me is that I have Charlie figured for a budding conservative (he doesn’t say much but he’s all action) while his older brother is definitely a liberal (yatter, yatter, yatter).
Heh…
UV, that will change when Iggy starts to actually put some planks in a platform. As an elitist wanting to strut “the vision thing” and to centrally plan our lives out of Ottawa he will start to make some of the regional disturbing suggestions Debbie Coyne has here:
http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/678619
Debbie is a cousin to the faux conservative (Ottawa centric elitist) Andrew Coyne and of course mother to a PET kid ( Debbie does … oh never mind)
If you want to get a taste of how this will be spun, have a look at this classic elitist comment by Debbie:
‘Canadians must be alerted to the seriousness of the situation. Like T.S. Eliot’s J. Alfred Prufrock, we are being “etherized upon a table” ‘
Now isn’t that clever? Thank goodness Harper would never say anything like that. But that’s how elitists like Iggy and Debbie talk and the rest of us poor middle class schmucks have to Google it to find out what it all means. Eliot’s CATS I can understand, but J. Alfred Prufrock?
In short, when Iggy starts to talk Liberal centralizing again (reversing the GST of $10 billion a year left in the pockets of consumers) then Quebec will return to the de-centralizing Conservatives and we’ll be back in the fight for our majority.
Well, Harry’s cute too, Jack. But the ‘whining Liberals’ do need to grow up. Charlie sees the joke alright. Oh God, so loveable, both.
I can’t work this laptop. I’m reading your security post. I have a terrible emergency with a document that’s disappeared FOUR TIMES. I’m prepared to pay for help.
Re: #6 — “I’m reading your security post. ”
I continued the setup of the application today in the “Advanced” area. It seems to be working fine except that it has neutered the new Explorer stealth screen which I was just getting used to.
On reflection that may not be a bad thing. The “app” appears to have it covered.
I’m happy with it.
