Unreported Crime #1: Stephen Harper appointing Stockwell Day as a cabinet minister
Does Stockwell Day actually believe we need more prisons to house people who’ve committed unreported crimes?

At the very least, he thinks Canadian’s are stupid enough to be fooled by his reasoning. Does the Conservative government plan to fill these new prisons by suspending habeas corpus and locking up anyone who looks like they may have committed an unreported crime?

Ok, let’s try it Jack’s way…
It seems the Conservative government now concedes Jack Layton was on to something when he suggested we open a line of communication with the Taliban to end the decade-long war in Afghanistan. Of course, you won’t hear the Conservatives telling it that way.
Lawrence Cannon, Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, quietly announced this week that our government wants to engage the Taliban and others in a “reconciliation process that is inclusive of all Afghans, no matter their ethnicity.”
I’m not sure I agree that this will be an effective tactic, I don’t agree with Layton on a lot of things when it comes to Afghanistan, but I’m glad our government has finally acknowledged that it’s worthy of consideration instead of dismissing it with childish name calling like they did four years ago when Jack suggested it.

Torchbearer positions sold to sponsors?
It seems Olympic torchbearer positions are being given out in the same manner as tickets to Olympic events. Priority is being given to high ranking sponsors.
Canadians think politicians get little done, Harper proves them right.
A recent Ipsos Reid poll shows that 72% of those surveyed said they disagreed with the statement “Politicians in Ottawa got a lot done this year.” Meanwhile, Stephen Harper is boasting about all his government has done. Harper’s decision to prorogue parliament, and the Governor General’s moronic decision to allow it, show that 72% to be correct. Harper’s decision to shut down parliament this way for the second time in two years cancels thirty-something bills that Harper had previously said were important. He slammed the Liberals for threatening to force an election because they would cancel these same “important” bills. The truth is Harper is a power hungry asshole who has proven time and again that he will do whatever it takes to cling to power and avoid being held accountable for his actions.
Stephen Harper doesn’t give a shit about what’s best for our country. It’s time to toss him out on his ass!
