Nice alliteration for the title of this latest Youtube Video on the rather complex relationship between Harper and Mulroney, though I’d argue you’re misusing the political term of “Tory” when referring to Stephen Harper: I like the storybook theme with this, but my 1 complaint with this video is I think it takes too long to explain to people. I was getting rather impatient half way through this waiting for it to end. I still don’t know what to make of this whole Mulroney/Schreiber business and whether it will hurt the Cons or not. However, for a government that supposedly has nothing to do with this affair, it sure is giving off the appearance of having something to hide, when the Justice Minister refuses to use his power to prevent or stay Schreiber’s extradition (or more comically, pretends he doesn’t have the power to do so when every legal opinion out there says he does), which causes this almost unprecedented legal move by the Speaker: The Speaker of the House of Commons has issued a rare warrant compelling Karlheinz Schreiber to appear […] I don’t mind if the Liberals and Dion ask that this independent arbitrator look into all possibilities of what went on with Mulroney and Schreiber, and to see what exactly went on in the Privy Council Office (I’m skeptical myself that in this regime, with its top-down control style of Harper’s, that officials in the PCO would withhold something as potentially damaging as these letters from him), but I think Liberals need to not yield to the temptation of trying to present this as the Conservatives equivalent to the Gomery Commission. Let the inquiry do it’s investigations and make its report, and if something juicy or incriminating comes up, then […] It’s an observation of some out there who observe this in the media and the blogging world that you can tell how serious an allegation against a party or a government is by how vehement the proxies for that particular group deny the allegations, or by how much smearing and obfuscation they attempt to fling at the other side in an attempt to distract from the issue troubling their favourite political side. If that is the case, then the initial reactions from the Blogging Tories and some online conservative commenter trolls to the Mulroney-Schreiber Airbus controversy and how it seems to have entangled Harper and the Cons are very telling, […] |
I’m old enough to remember how some squawked about seat belt legislation. A vaccine mandate is one of those decisions that seem more controversial than they really are. "What, me worry?" -- Alberta’s new #COVID19 plan is a dangerous experiment: @globeandmail editorial https://t.co/lV3rz86zk3 via @GlobeDebate #abpoli Damn zeroes, they’ll get you every time https://t.co/9AWCjnrnKi @nationalpost published this article by @cselley that has a huge error: he claims that 33 kids in the 4 week period ending June 6 had #longcovid. In actuality, he misread the data & it was 33000 kids! @nationalpost published this article by @cselley that has a huge error: he claims that 33 kids in the 4 week period ending June 6 had #longcovid. In actuality, he misread the data & it was 33000 kids! This is dangerous. And it’s the result of equally as dangerous rhetoric from the UCP and our Premier. When Kenney paints anyone who isn’t with him as the enemy of “real Albertans”, he is reinforcing this cult like loyalty. This is demagogue type behaviour. #ableg https://t.co/rSbYBNkYtd Have read some of the feedback today and can't help but notice a consistent thread. UCP supporters choose to say that I am anti - Albertan or bashing Albertans because I am questioning Kenney/UCP policies, re-tweeting today's @GlobeAndMail editorial. |
