Likewise Fort McMurray is far into debt because they too get next to nothing from the oil companies.

Harper has been served his summons. I think Harper should be tried for, crimes against humanity, for his negligence of the F.N. all across this country. It is absolutely criminal, the way the F.N. in Northern Ontario, were neglected.<br /><br />Harper is also accused of crimes against Democracy. We have been victims of that many times. Harper does not believe in Democracy. <br /><br />Harper is a Reformer. He governs Canada by his Northern Foundation Party lines, from 1989. Deb Grey says, Harper is still a Reformer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-78351918845333047602012-01-25T10:10:49.793-08:002012-01-25T10:10:49.793-08:00Coming to Canada soon..if not already here
Presid...Coming to Canada soon..if not already here<br /><br />President Barack Obama has just signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which gives him, and any future president, in my opinion, the ability to use the military against the America people.<br /><br />On a word anyone the government feels is a "threat" to the nation and that person can be arrested. No, "arrested" is the wrong word, as that implies one would have rights. Kidnapped? Disappeared? Held hostage?<br /><br />Those are much better words for what the bill calls for. Under the bill, the Army can snatch you out of your bed at 3 a.m., put you into a truck and never have to tell anyone, anything about you. You have no more rights to a lawyer, a trial by jury. Heck, you do not even have the right to a trial. You can be held forever without recourse. No warrant, no reasonable doubt.<br /><br />Now, remember; this is the same administration whose Department of Homeland (In)Security claiming returning veterans, anti-abortion, anti-tax and anti-big government believers were potential domestic terrorists.<br /><br />While you were having a good time, the government decided to turned the Land of the Free, into what could become a totalitarian police state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-35761173089491053902012-01-25T01:13:19.091-08:002012-01-25T01:13:19.091-08:00Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that Harper or...Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that Harper or any other leader with a majority will be run from office by a vote in Parliament. The trained seals that got elected under the ruling party's banner lack the intestinal fortitude to do right by the people that elected them. Instead they just look the other way and maintain the lowest public profile they possibly can in the hope that someone else will do what's right, which in the end falls on the shoulders of the electorate. The reality is that party politics makes gangs like the Hell's Angels look like rank amateurs.<br /><br />And forget the Governor General. No matter who it is, they are only interested in the perks of the job and have no interest in getting their pampered hands dirty.<br /><br />I suspect that the only way to rid ourselves of Mr. Harper is to hope that the electorate sees fit to refuse to give him another term as Prime Minister. The next best thing is for him to suffer the same fate as Gordon Campbell, which was that the moneymen that helped put him in office decided he was too toxic to continue supporting him.<br /><br />Unfortunately we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rules and conventions by which our governance is patterned is archaic and utopian, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the likes of Harper know this.Crankypantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-88151131945471392852012-01-24T22:19:56.533-08:002012-01-24T22:19:56.533-08:00More Conservative Crap with the Canadian Federal g...More Conservative Crap with the Canadian Federal government under Herr Dick Tator Harper !!!<br />Dishonesty, Deception and Deceit from our "Born again Christian" leader !!!!<br /><br />Oh, and now the RCMP new boss is being told what to do by the PMO !!!<br /><br /><br />http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/TopStories/20120122/canadian-government-received-us-foundation-grants-120122/<br /><br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-52186558287890117252012-01-24T22:02:11.682-08:002012-01-24T22:02:11.682-08:00Apparently Herr Dick Tator Harper has spoken - see...Apparently Herr Dick Tator Harper has spoken - see link below for details !!!<br /><br />http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Fired+spokesman+alleged+intimidation+pipeline+opponent/6045937/story.html<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
