I am very disappointed with Premier Charest. He basically helped the bloc in this election. he seems to have forgotten he is a federalist. Shame on you Jean Charest.Charest a big help during election: Bloc MPCanwest News Service Published: Thursday, October 16, 2008MONTREAL -- Premier Jean Charest was a great help to the Bloc Quebecois in the federal election, a leading Bloc MP said as the party's MPs and some defeated candidates gathered in Montreal Thursday for a postelection caucus meeting."Mr. Charest made demands that correspond to the Quebec consensus, and which the Bloc has been making for some time," said Pierre Paquette, the party's House leader in the last Parliament. "It shows he understands that there is a strong nationalist flame in Quebec."Mr. Charest and some of his...
dion probably made a big mistake in making a secret deal with ellie may. It seems the greens actually siphooned a lot of grit votes.Dion gets no lift from raising glass with GreensSIRI AGRELL October 15, 2008Stéphane Dion may have been toast the moment Elizabeth May offered to bring the wine. Election watchers say the Liberal Leader made a strategic miscalculation backing the Green Party throughout the campaign. In helping the her bid to join the televised debate, observers say, Mr. Dion gave her a platform to draw away votes his party desperately needed to unseat the Conservative government. Her performance raised her profile and that of her party, giving the Greens an unprecedented visibility that appears to have bled votes from Mr. Dion in several close races.In ridings across the...
Ellie May has been defeated in central NOVA and Robert Thibault has been defeated. Wonder how Thibault will pay when he loses the lawsuit brought by HM PM Mulroney. Garth is being killed in Halton. Good riddance!...
Vote for freedom. Its time to defang the hrcs . Its time to vote for free speech. With your votes you can do that. Kenney: HRCs unaccountable, lack due processBy Ezra Levant on May 23, 2008 7:47 PMEarlier this month, Jason Kenney, the Conservative cabinet minister and Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity, called the Canadian Human Rights Commission "dangerous" and "illiberal"....
Canadians have the right to vote. Some would say they have the duty to vote. Many of us take that right for granted. Don't take anything for granted every vote counts. It has been a very nasty campaign and your chosen candidate needs your support today. If you have been reading my blog, you know why you must vote Tory. Read the platforms of the parties and choose for yourself. It's time to vote!!...

Hunter has a video of the grits and green making alliances ,with Carolyn Bennett of the grits supervising the whole sordid deal.Hunter also shows dion saying ellie may wants him to be HM PM.Here is an ellie may Freudian slip.

If the greens are smart they will get rid of her as soon as the elction is over....

Yet another endorsement for the Tories from the Toronto SUN. ( watch the cartoon at the link as well!) So of the Toronto papers 3/4 have endorsed the Tories and the fourth is incapable of seeing the truth. The Ottawa Sun and the Calgary Sun and the Winnipeg Sun also endorses the Tories.Harper is the best choiceBy SUN MEDIALast Updated: 12th October 2008, 5:17amElections are about making choices and because fallible human beings are involved, there will never be a perfect choice.While we respect all the national party leaders, realistically, Canadians Tuesday must choose between Stephen Harper and Stephane Dion to lead us through tough economic times.To us, the choice for prime minister is clear. It's Harper.For 31 months, Harper provided Canada with a stable minority government, the...
Senator Andree Champagne Tory Candidates Patrick Clune and Silvie Boulianne Some fervent fans Another young supporterI attended the Longueuil Tory Rally with HM PM Stephen Harper. The event was again packed with Tory supporters. Yves Fortier gave an impassioned intro and HM PM gave a rousing speech. The room was energized by the speeches. HM PM was relaxed and even told jokes. He noted that Gilles Duceppe had called him every name in the not the petit Robert but the Grand Robert. He also said that not...
The Montreal Gazette also endorses the Tories. The gazette is usually pretty left wing so I am a bit surprised, but given the record and platform of HM Government, how could they choose otherwise.On balance, however, we believe that considering the Conservative record and the goals, policies, and personnel of the other parties, it is the Conservatives who deserve to be re-elected on Tuesday. Amid all the unfair and misleading advertising of this campaign, one Conservative message is truer now than when the writ was dropped: Constancy and prudence with the country's finances are even more important when we're in the economic doldrums....

That is the headline from the National Post editorial about the opposition parties campaign strategies. HM PM is right. dion and layton are praying for recession and failure of the canadian economy. Unfortunately for them and fortunately for everyone else in Canada, Canada is weathering the storm pretty well.Panic-mongersNational Post Published: Friday, October 10, 2008We are legitimately amazed that the economy has come to the forefront of the Canadian election campaign in the manner that it has, with the Opposition parties spending almost a week caterwauling about the Prime Minister's preternatural calm in the face of international crisis.It is bizarre to see Stephane Dion and Jack Layton self-consciously demanding empty reassurances and displays of feeling from Stephen Harper:...
the NDP and the grits are always whining about American interference in Canada's affairs. The NDP has brought in the left wing loon, Michael Moore to campaign for them. He of course attacked HM Pm Stephen Harper. I guess its ok for the grits and the dippers to bring in Americans, as long as the American is a left wing loon. The utter hypocrisy of it all. This should be very helpful to the Tories. ( h/t Blazing Catfur)...
Economist Rohit Gupta takes apart the so called grit economic plan. The grits msm seems to have ignored its many fatal flaws.Rohit Gupta: Liberal economic plan doesn't add upPosted: October 11, 2008, 8:00 AM by Kelly McParlandFull Comment, canadian electionIt’s been disappointing that in this election campaign, the costing of Stéphane Dion’s plan has received little if any mainstream media attention. A thorough examination of the Liberal’s projections reveals a fiscal plan based on questionable assumptions, poor budgeting practices and erroneous calculations.The list of the plan’s fiscal shortcomings is long, but let’s begin with its headline policy – the carbon tax and the “Green Shift”. Leaving aside the merits or flaws of a carbon tax for a moment, what Mr. Dion is...
Another economic indicator shows the wise and prudent path chosen by HM Pm Harper and the Tories is the correct one. More numbers that show the grits and NDP have no idea what they are talking about. The economy is still creating jobs,the jobless rate is the lowest in thirty years, our banks are very solid and Canada is predicted to have the highest growth of any OECD country. Indeed the US is reaching out to our banks to rescue American Banks.Finance minister cautious over record job numbersDavid Akin, Canwest News ServicePublished: Friday, October 10, 2008OTTAWA - The Canadian economy, defying all predictions, created a record number of new jobs last month, giving Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives fresh ammunition Friday to make their case that they are the best...
As Greg Weston points out, dion is usually unintelligible. It amazing to see the grit msm rushing to the defense of their candidate. I must say don martin deserves particular scorn. Off script, Dion is still the same brainiac mouthful he always he was. For instance, reporters asked him yesterday to respond to a report that the Harper government has been massively understating the cost of Canada's participation in the Afghanistan war. Under a Dion government, he said in part, "Canadians will know exactly where we are and which way does the mismanagement by whom." Perhaps nothing speaks to Dion's readiness to be prime minister more than his stubborn refusal to reconsider implementing the Liberal party's centrepiece "Green Shift" carbon tax, regardless of economic conditions which aren't...
I have written about dion's delusions befoe. Even memebers of his own party are wary of the carbon tax. A dion government will mean more taxes and recession.Not quite. While the economists did say that government should put a price on carbon, they admitted that “substantive action will involve economic costs”, not financial benefits. Some Liberals are starting to admit that rolling out a transformative overhaul of the tax system at a time of economic uncertainty is about as sound an idea as Howard Hughes’ plywood Spruce Goose. Michael Ignatieff told the editorial board of La Presse yesterday that the plan could be modified if the economy was still rocky when a Liberal government came to power. Mr. Ignatieff said Mr. Dion would not drop the essential elements of the plan but it may...
A green candidate in Quebec has resigned and thrown her support behind the grits. She admits she could not of won. Why is there a green party. It seems it is just the grits in disguise.

The Tories have not been perfect in government, but they have done a very good job in many areas. I agree with the National Post. Canadians should vote Tory. HM PM Harper is an economist and has guided the country on a prudent path in these last three years. The Tory team, platform and ideas make the most sense for Canada.Last month, Stephane Dion called the upcoming federal election "among the most important in the history of our country." He may be right. Next week's vote will determine whether Canada's tax system is overhauled through the imposition of a massive levy on carbon-based fuels; the nature of our continuing presence in Afghanistan; and how our government will respond to the historic meltdown unfolding in financial markets. Faced with these high stakes, we believe, Canada...

dion has called layton a socialist. That's pretty rich considering dion's taking of the grits well down the socialist lane.
