Nice guy,  that  Jason Kenney, our Immigration Minister, who says he isn’t sorry to see Marc Emery extradited to the  United States.   Emery  is  starting a five-year prison term for shipping marijuana seeds to Americans.    Seeds.  Gotta love  those tough-on-crime Conservatives.  Their leader, meanwhile,  Mr. Harper, appoints sports tycoon David Braley  to the Senate.  Braley owns both the B-C Lions and Toronto Argos and was the biggest  single donor to Harper’s  2004 Conservative party leadership campaign.     Harper has appointed 33 Conservatives to the Senate in the past  18 months.   

Cyclist Floyd Landis finally comes clean, says he  was doping for years and  alleges former teamate  Lance Armstrong was   also  doping.  Gee, you think so?   And those muscles Tiger Woods developed overnight?  Wonder where they came from?

It was beautiful watching the Habs put it to the Flyers last night but painful watching  Russia trounce Canada at the worlds.  Go Germany Go!

If Jim Watson can’t find the time to attend mayoralty debates then he shouldn’t be running.    There   was a debate last night  in Kanata.  Watson wasn’t there. Was at a Polish community event instead.    Says he was booked  far in advance for the Polish event, but also prefers   not to take part in    a debate before all the other candidates  are declared. (O’Brien hasn’t announced  his intentions yet.)   I don’t care, he should be there, and the fact he wasn’t is a snub,   not  only to the  50 people who turned out, but  to of all us.

It wasn’t that long ago  Premier McGuinty was  assuring   us the negative  affects of the HST would be offset by businesess passing  along their tax  breaks to  the consumer.  

Too  bad he  doesn’t  practice what  he preaches.

The  LCBO,  government run,  a monopoly,  makes zillions.    Great chance  for  McGuinty to lead by example and   reduce prices.

Not gonna happen.

The government says  -  ready for this – that   cutting the price would lead to more alcohol consumption!   Something about ‘ social responsiblity’.   

Now I’m definitely heading out to buy a bottle. 

Seriously,  they   expect business  owners to do what  they won’t do themselves.

What  a joke!

I have a  suggestion for McGuinty:        start  telling the truth!

Every day   we are being told to tighten our belts.  What about  the politicians?   It’s   a different world,  it seems.    Different indeed.   In a rare act of unity,   MPs   from all four political parties have joined forced to ensure the details of their  secret  540 million dollar  budget never see the light of the day.  

What are they hiding?   Wasn’t  Harper  supposed to be all about ‘ accountability ‘?    Do they forget it’s OUR money they are spending?   Do they even care?!?!

Nine MP’s sit on the Board of Internal Economy.  They run the clandestine budget for MPs and senators.   They are Roger Cuzner,  Libby Davies,  Jacques Gourde,  Michel Guimond,  Jay Hill,  Peter Milliken,  Gordon O’Connor,  Joe Preston,  Marcel Proulx.    I hope  each and every one  of them  gets turfed in the next election.  Seriously.   This air of entitlement makes me sick.
