Clinton on US-CA Relations -&- Mike Duffy

Bill Clinton: speaking in London now -- emphasized environment and helping the poor Third World, also that US-CA may differ but are friends, still. Tell that to Ambassador McKenna, PM Paul Martin, Min. McCallum and the rest who seem to be taunting the US with tar sands oil. It could backfire. According to Andrew Coyne, Canada's lumber industry is subsidized because of low stumpage for public land trees so the US is not necessarily in the wrong. Check for his article.


McCallum as the Energy Minister will do as PM/PMO and the PM team tell him. What a perfect choice to send off to China. He takes his orders so well.


Duffy--shilling for the Liberals

I just heard Duffy's panel (CTV) and he treated the news, the questions, the whole sleaze of Ottawa as simply a chance to get a woman from the PMO, an NDP rep. and a Conservative rep. to spar, but he did not address seriously what Canadians want addressed. There was not a sense that Duffy understands the outrage Canadians feel at "business as usual" over several years of corruption under Paul Martin, Jean Chretien, and their teams. He did not mention the private member's bill on tax havens, specifically, the one that gave advantages to companies such as Paul Martin's CSL in the past and now to his sons' company. Duffy treats so much as though it were a joke and the opposition as beneath notice when they mention corruption. Duffy tosses what are legitimate questions in the House off as Conservatives simply wanting an election. Duffy has been around the pigs at the trough too long.

It looks from something that was said that the government is going to try to shift more of the blame for the sponsorship scandal onto civil servants, as much as possible anyway -- that they are somewhat a law unto themselves, undirected from the PMO. IMHO, bosh!

That "rogue civil servant" explanation

Oct. 14 - Testimony previously under publication ban has been released by Judge Gomery which gives a closer look at the financial relationship between Jean Brault and Chuck Guite (Money bound Brault and Guite) all of which seems to be in line with the "rogue civil servant" explanation: [. . . . ]

Duffy gushed over Clinton's charisma -- not mentioning his demeaning the office of the Presidency. Give me a decent PM and forget charisma. It is rather like celebrity -- being well known because you're well known. Charismatic because the MSM claim it to be so? And the sheep gobble it up. The last time we had the PET charisma, a spending spiral began which drove up the debt and has continued with every PM since. We need a sober, conservative government that will treat Canadians' hard-earned money with great care and respect.

We're to be treated to more of the Trudeau hagiography this week on CBC, I believe. Oh, woe! Does it never end?


Signs of arrogance with the public's money...........
