Hark! I hear the MOANING of the river ghosts........bellowing all the way from les boulevard de Rene Levesque..........down past ice covered burtonfront and all the way down to the Bay of Fundy.
Is it true? Has the crown prince thrown his red carnation into the political foray? There's no stopping him now. I don't even think the Canadian Sentinel can guard against the media orgy already taking place.
ooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee................
SHHHHH! If you listen very closely, you can hear the ghosts groaning.........fuddleduddlefuddleduddle....son of fuddleduddlefuddleduddle.
If I was Gerard Kennedy? I'd be kissing my future leadership dreams away. The crown prince Justin is now officially on the scene. First Pettigrew's old riding, and then this nation's bedrooms.........
run for the hills!!

Thanks for the link, A.
BTW, just in: Sikh Lib quits Lib Party over what he says is connections between Sikh terrorists & the Libs, plus the Libs' flipflop on the anti-terror laws.
PM Harper was right to not apologize.
It would appear that the Liberals are and have always been trying their damndest to cover up some really scary skeleton in one of their many, many closets full of skeletons...
It'd take a divine miracle for them to win the next election. Or pigs would have to fly. (Oh, wait! Pigs do fly... after all, the Liberals need to travel fast sometimes... and then there's Nancy Pelosi's insistence on a better plane than she really needs...)
Link via my latest post. Steve Janke beats the MSM to the news!
Quit focusing on all that other stuff and start guarding us from the crown prince!! Yikes!! Okay.....that IS interesting, and will look into the latest Lib story (they're having a banner day, arent they?)
I was appalled.....by Harper's comments when I read about them today.......but now there's a resignation? Hmmmm.......
"Run for the hills" I just laughed and laughed. There's a headline you won't see in any newspaper.
The Libs can hardly complain that Harper'd make a loose connection between a report that a Liberal MP's relative is on a witness list to an inquiry into a mass murder.. and to the Liberals' plan to whip a vote to kill the anti-terror bills, a position that is opposed by many in the Liberal party and which is hurting the party.
(After all, we know full well that the Liberals will do worse than that if it helps them politically)
One must necessarily wonder if the Liberals' sudden about-face on the protection of Canada's national security from very real, imminent threats is motivated by their (claimed, but dubious, as we know them that well) concern for "civil liberties" or perhaps out of concern for covering up any Liberal Party connections or involvement, in any way, shape or form, however indirect/remote.
I understand your natural reaction to feel appalled, as indeed the initial optics does appear disquieting, but once one thinks harder and listens to what else the PM says, one can see the logic in and the necissity in reminding Canadians that the Liberals might have selfish motives in wanting to kill the very counterterrorism laws they willingly brought in following 9/11. I mean, their habit is to claim that they do something because it's supposedly motivated by "human rights" or "civil rights". But we know they're not afraid to violate peoples' civil rights when the Liberal PM or the Liberal Party's image is in danger of being tarnished or their hold on power and electoral popularity is threatened. Remember APEC '97? Of course the Chretien PMO knew something about the security arrangements with the RCMP... when else have the Mounties been so quick to assault those actually not-acting-badly leftists with all that pepper spray and with the removal of protest banners?
Clearly the Liberals didn't want to embarrass the PM via embarrassing that butcher Suharto whom Chretien was so happy to see.
And don't forget their treatment of reporters who embarrassed the PM or the Party (having the police raid their house or having them fired by their MSM bosses for simply writing a piece critical of the PM) and their treatment of the former President of that crown corporation bank who refused a loan to a Chretien crony on the grounds that the crony was a bad credit risk. They framed him and fired him.
Really, I don't see how the Liberals are so concerned about "civil liberties", as they were so eager to make up and implement the very laws they now oppose.
Sure, it's too bad that a most-likely-personally-innocent Liberal MP was mentioned, but it was already mentioned by the Vancouver Sun and the Liberals didn't say anything. They only complain if it becomes a bigger image-related issue for them. And the PM was doing what he did as a political fight against their political fight- the Liberals want to kill the bill as the left wants them to do so, and if they don't, then the leftists will vote for the NDP, further hurting the Liberals electorally, so of course they'll flipflop, with national security being placed in danger... but what do they care? They only care about themselves, as we've seen so many times!
Besides, the victims' families want the Opposition to drop its opposition to the anti-terror laws, and the government is representing these people who were impacted by terrorists. They're in a far better position to understand about civil rights than are the Liberals. After all, isn't security of all people a greater need than possible embarrassment, followed by full exoneration and apology, of an innocent individual?
The needs of the many far outweigh the needs of the few.
Whatever happened, besides, to the left's belief that the collective need is greater than individual need? They're being inconsistent, unless one sees that they're only raising this opposition to counterterror laws as the terrorists are, we know for sure, members of "groups" the left wants to worry about.
One must ask whether they'd care about the civil rights of people if the terror threat was from Irish terrorists or German skinheads! Like hell they'll care about all those palefaced European-heritage folks being picked up on security certificates, right?
National security must be protected from all threats. Race, nationality, religion, etc. don't matter at all. Evidence is evidence. Probable cause is probable cause. Following the clues and leads is following the clues and leads. We don't care what color your skin is or what deity you worship or where you're from, but if, for example, we know you're friends with a suspected sleeper cell leader and you've recently travelled to Afghanistan, we've a responsibility to make sure it's all circumstantial; that there's nothing to it. Lives could be at risk if we don't make sure- doesn't the left/the Liberals care about THAT?!
Lastly, but not least, it's far better to detain someone for the purpose of saving lives than to never detain anyone and watch as some of these people we suspected but didn't check out go forth and kill thousands.
And the 9/11 terrorists were indeed known to some degree to authorities, but nothing was done. And they killed thousands. And the left blames the authorities for doing nothing. Ironic, isn't it? They'd have supported "racial profiling" in hindsight, but when it comes to preventing future mass murders, they're against it! Too easy, right? (Oh, wait- they're leftists, so...)
Are we going to repeat that mistake just to appease the left and the terror-supporting CAIR?
If we don't pick up suspected terrorists, and they kill people, then we'll be blamed, regardless of their specific "group membership" and regardless of questions about "civil liberties".
Hindsight is 20/20. But we must use our hindsight to develop our foresight and remember what happens to those who don't learn the lessons of history.
And shouldn't the headline be "Run For the Hill"?
After all, Curly Locks is running for a job on the "Hill"... ;)
"The needs of the many far outweigh the needs of the few" ...Spock (to Captain James T. Kirk) The Wrath of Khan - 1982
...how do you argue with that kind of logic??
hey spinks......you're right there! NO the love in hasn't even kicked into high gear.....we ain't seen nothing yet.......
CS.....well! that was a mouthful! you summed 'er up real good. Hindsight can be a good teacher.
Shasta.....great quote...
the needs of many.......it is going to turn into a frenzy thing isn't it? We're going to have to watch him pirouette and everything, aren't we? Wonder how he holds his paddle? :)
Great
Another Trudeau debutant!
If young Justine really wanted a challenge and not run on his fathers nefarious leagacy and prove himself his own man, as he has gone to great pains to explain... he'd run under his mothers name.
MARGARET???
