Tories Election Promise
So here's news for ya'. During the last election, Steven Harper said that within 100 sitting days, his party would pass the Omnibus Crime Bill. Today, Tuesday, the Bill will go through the Senate and will be passed by the Conservative dominated Senate. This then fulfills the promise by Harper by 3 days. Way to go! A politician actually following through with an election promise! Oh but nay sayers to the Bill say that this'll cost more money and, (shudder) cause longer sentences! Oh no! (sic) What are we to do?!(sic). This Bill finally, eliminates, after 42 years, Canada's focus (priveledge) given to criminals and returns our focus, and most deservedly, on the victim's.
You know, Stat's Canada says that crime is going down. Well, they only record repeat offenders as committing ONE crime in total, when they've actually committed MORE than one. This way of fudging the numbers supports the Liberal dominated Gov't and the media reports of crime going down. More deception of the public by our Liberal dominated Gov't AND the media. It's taking time, but, the Tories are breaking down the walls of our liberal dominated democracy.

Opposition Torqued Robocall "Scandal'
After weeks of front-page coverage in the Ottawa Citizen, a massive public rally on Parliament Hill this weekend gave us a measure of the public’s outrage with the Robocall scandal.
Let’s just say a sparse crowd showed up, in the most political city in Canada.
Roughly the number of journalists at the Ottawa Citizen writing about the “scandal.”
The NSM — the non-Sun media — regularly ignores rallies with hundreds, even thousands of people in attendance, if the purpose of those rallies is not to sell their newspapers.
Last year’s March for Life — a non-partisan, pro-life rally — had more than 15,000 people show up on Parliament Hill last spring.
In fairness, the Citizen did put a postage-stamp sized photo of that protest on its front page, below the fold. It was an extreme close-up shot showing fewer than 10 people in attendance. Like looking through a telescope the wrong way.
But even the Ottawa Citizen couldn’t make this gathering at the newspaper’s anti-robot rally look good enough for their front page. So they chose instead a closeup of a rally in Montreal, where a few dozen anti-robot protesters had the media-savvy to stand close together. That, plus a screaming front-page headline, took up two-thirds of the front page of the Citizen yesterday.
Hey, don’t knock it. It’s tough to sell the Ottawa Citizen.
But a few protesters is still more than the number of Canadians who say they were tricked by robots into not voting in the last election.
That’s the whole excuse for the NDP-Liberal attempt to get a do-over of the election in dozens of ridings: The allegation that misleading robotic phone calls were so persuasive that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of voters simply couldn’t find their way to vote. And that Stephen Harper is a democratically illegitimate prime minister as a result.
And yet despite the barrels of ink dedicated to this manufactured scandal, not a single Canadian has come forward saying they were denied their vote. Not one. That’s the difference between a fake, media-generated scandalette and something that real people care about. Real people didn’t get fooled by the robots. And they’re not being fooled by the NSM now, either.
Sure, there are some NDP front groups that have set up web pages trying to get every teenager, foreign citizen and online robot to click on a button to protest the election results. Some of these lobby groups have claimed tens of thousands of clicks. That’s not activism — that’s slacktivism. Pressing a button on a computer simply meant those activists didn’t like the Conservatives, nothing more. Sunday’s protesters prove that.
In fairness, in Canada’s biggest city, there were several dozen protesters at the anti-robot rally. One of the keynote speakers was Zafar Bangash. Who’s he? He’s an anti-U.S., pro-Iran extremist in Toronto. My favourite Bangashism is his description of Israel as a “Zionist parasitical state.” Listening to him is like reading a translation of the magazine Der Sturmer from the 1930s.
Bangash didn’t just crash the anti-robot rally. He helped organize it. He was a keynote speaker at it. But that didn’t fit the NSM’s narrative of these rallies being filled with severely normal Canadians who were tricked by Harperbots into not voting.
The robot scandal is fake. The real scandal here is the media pack’s propaganda.
And NO amount of yelling and screaming by Bob Rae or the NDP will add ANY legitamacy to this story. Both parties, especially the Lyb's are envious of the Tories seat number. The "Royal" Opposition can only stand by while The Omnibus Bill gets passed and Air Canada employees have to work instead of holding the country hostage during their strike. If your wages and benefits are soooo bad, then. work somewhere else. Ooops! As far as the Union is concerned, "thems' fight'n words!" GO HARPER!

More Immigration Fraud
Due to Lyberal Immigration Policy, any baby from a foreign country, that's born in Canada, automatically receives citizenship. This gift is then abused by family members and other unscrupulous "bed and breakfasts" as they call themselves. The Federal Liberal name equals the word corruption. And the Lyb's wonder why they lost so many seats. Well I know of one reason - his name is Jean Chretien - chief crook!

Libyan Mob Desecrates Christian and Jewish WWII Tombstones Over Koran Burning
Islamist Extremists strike again and the Left "elite" including the U.N., continue to support groups like this.
In the eyes of radical Islamists, it seems attacking the living was not sufficient retaliation for U.S. troops inadvertently burning copies of the Koran in Afghanistan. Now, protesters in Libya have released their wrath on the dead.
A group of Libyan men – apparently angry at the Afghanistan incident – desecrated the graves of British World War II fighters in a cemetery near Benghazi, Libya. During the Second World War, British Commonwealth forces fought Italian Axis forces in this theater for control of Libya and Egypt. In the video below, one can see the Libyans destroying tombstones, while a ladder is erected which a man climbs and begins hammering a large cross overlooking the cemetery.
According to Ynet, one of the men says, “Come see, there’s Israeli writing, Hebrew, on the tombstone.”
More than 1,000 military personnel are buried at the Libyan site, according to the British publication:Graves of RAF pilots were among those shattered by the thugs. It was their job to fly bombing raids – just as the RAF did last year – to assist Lieutenant General Montgomery’s Eighth Army and support commandos clearing routes for tanks.Sickeningly, the attack, which was carried out over two days last week and appeared highly organised, was filmed by one of the men involved and posted on the internet.

According to Ynet, one of the men says, “Come see, there’s Israeli writing, Hebrew, on the tombstone.”
Al Jazeera reports that one man can be heard saying in Arabic: “This is a grave of a Christian,” as he uproots a headstone. Others repeatedly say, “They are dogs, they are dogs.”
Britain’s Daily Mail is calling the ransacking an “insult to WWII heroes.” The paper points out the irony considering Britain’s key role in aiding Libyan rebels just one year ago:A year ago they begged for Britain’s help when Colonel Gaddafi’s tanks encircled their city, threatening annihilation.Now former Libyan rebels in Benghazi – liberated with the aid of the RAF last March – have systematically desecrated the graves of more than 150 British servicemen killed in North Africa 70 years ago.
Headstones at the Benghazi War Cemetery have been torn down and crucifixes smashed with hammers by a mob of extremists, some carrying guns and dressed in combat fatigues.More than 1,000 military personnel are buried at the Libyan site, according to the British publication:Graves of RAF pilots were among those shattered by the thugs.

Ynet reports Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) condemned the cemetery desecration:The Council also expressed deep regret over what happened and sharply criticized the actions which they say were not compatible with Islamic values. The council also promised to act to put a stop to the phenomenon and bring the perpetrators to trial in accordance with Libyan law which sees the tombstone desecration as a criminal act.The NTC also made it clear that the actions did not reflect on the local or official public opinion in Libya as they are in contrast to Islamic morals which stand for respecting all religions and faiths. The Libyan interior ministry added that it will launch an investigation and would apprehend and prosecute those responsible.
The incident occurred one day after President Obama conveyed an apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, an act that apparently had no effect on the Libyan vandals.
The term Arab Spring is a dead dream, too sad even to be called a joke
From Ezra Levant-
One of the cruelest facts about Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship were his two sons, Uday and Qusay.
With Saddam’s approval, Uday had descended to a Paul Bernardo level of evil.
It was well known in Iraq that beautiful women had to keep out of his sight, for if Uday wanted a woman he saw, he would simply order his secret police to bring her to him, and then he would rape her.
Even brides out in public on their wedding day. Especially them.
This barbaric act happened so often, Uday had “rape rooms” specially built.
That is the depravity from which Iraqis were rescued when the NATO-led coalition liberated them in 2003.
Now comes news that Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, has rape rooms. A video of one of them — a container truck, into which women are frog-marched to their doom — is on YouTube depicting this horrific crime.
Retired Lt.-Col. Jonathan Halevi, an Arabic-speaking counter-terrorism expert who used to work for the Israeli Defence Forces, brought the stomach-turning video to my TV show last week.
But it’s not Assad himself who is the rapist — at least that we know of. It’s his soldiers. They gang-rape women — and, according to reports, select the particularly pretty ones for their commanders. Some of Assad’s more human henchmen are reported to have actually defected to the rebels after witnessing such barbarism.
Is this an attempt to morally defeat the enemy through grief and horror?
Is it just the sexual expression of Assad’s cult of violence and death?
Is it a last unbridled act by Assad’s soldiers, sensing the approval of their masters and knowing that they may die soon enough and so, like the Red Army advancing on Berlin, they became less than men and barely more than animals? Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter.
So then it’s settled: We are for the rebels.
Except there’s one thing about that. Al-Qaida is part of the rebels. We know this in many ways, including that, in response to Assad’s depravity, al-Qaida dispatched a suicide bomber against the Syrian government.
So, on the one hand, we have a murderous dictator who has killed more than 8,000 of his own citizens and now countenances indiscriminate rape by his own forces.
So he’s a mass murderer and worse.
And on the other side, we have al-Qaida — an unrepentant death cult that murdered 3,000 Americans on 9/11 and kills westerners and infidels to this day.
There are no good guys here. There are only two evils: Assad’s evil, protected at the United Nations by their dear friends the Russians and Chinese.
And al-Qaida’s evil, protected or financed by their dear friends the Pakistanis and Saudis.
It is a given that Bashar Assad will fall — Halevi says it’s a matter of short months; other experts like Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum give him as long as two years.
I tend towards Halevi’s prediction. But what is certain is that what replaces Assad will be no less totalitarian — it will simply add a layer of theocracy on top of the existing dictatorship that Assad, and his father before him, have wielded for decades.
Sound familiar? Of course it does. This is the pattern across the Arab world.
One short year ago, the naive fools of the consensus media looked at the riots in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya and projected themselves onto the rioters.
Look, they use iPads and Twitter and Facebook, just like us! So they must be liberals and democrats just like us, too!
And there were some liberals there in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, to be sure. But as is often the case, the gentle revolutionaries are quickly dispatched by the brutal ones. The phrase “Arab Spring” is a dead dream, too sad even to be called a joke. A new phrase must be coined.
Churchill looked at the Soviet Union strangling Eastern Europe and said an Iron Curtain was descending.
Given the theocratic nature of Arabia’s revolutions, the “Iron Burka” might be more appropriate.

Robocalls - And Other Opposition "Misdemeanors".
Dirty tricks are nothing new in politics. Sometimes they’re even part of the fun.
Tearing down opponents’ campaign posters is a time-honoured tactic in Quebec. And for decades, campaigns have been known to send pizzas after midnight to their opponents’ headquarters.
The robocall affair, when all the facts are known, could turn out to be more sinister. Or it could turn to be just another conspiracy from social media.
Robocalls are automated phone calls that people generally receive on their land lines after dinner – which is one of the reasons people are increasingly discontinuing land-line service.
All parties use robocalls as part of their efforts to get out the vote.
In this case the Conservatives are accused of using robocalls to suppress the vote in last May’s election, in at least one riding, and perhaps as many as several dozen.
In the Ontario riding of Guelph, robocalls informed Liberal- and New Democratic Party-leaning voters that their polling stations had changed address, when they hadn’t.
The Conservative candidate in Guelph lost by 6,000 votes anyway. Robocalls don’t change outcomes in races that aren’t close, and so far no one has pointed to a close race whose result was changed by them.
Sorry, but this isn’t Watergate. Nobody broke into Liberal or NDP campaign headquarters and stole their hard drives. No journalists are meeting sources at 2 a.m. in the garage of the National Arts Centre. Nowadays journalists generally just talk to each other on Twitter.
Which is why most of them missed the developing story of Stephen Harper’s emerging Conservative majority in Ontario in the last week of the campaign. It had nothing to do with robocalls, and everything to do with strategic voters known as Blue Grits leaving the Liberals in the last days of the campaign to vote for the Conservatives in order to stop the surging NDP. The Conservative message was simple and devastatingly effective: The NDP will do for Canada what it did for Ontario. As a result, the Conservatives won 30 out of 45 seats in the Greater Toronto Area, once an unbreachable Liberal fortress. That, and not robocalls, remains the big story of the 2011 election.
There was an election. Harper won it, fair and square. Elections are usually won by the team with the best leader and message, the best candidates and organization, the deepest pockets and the ability to get out the vote. In 2011, that was the Conservatives, who won 40 per cent of the vote nationally, sweeping Ontario and the West.
Somehow, Harper is being accused of creating a toxic political culture, of personally condoning dirty tricks like robocalls. There’s no evidence making such a link. But let the RCMP and the chief electoral officer investigate. That’s their job.
In other news from the dirty-tricks department, it turns out that Vikileaks was a Liberal operation, run by a researcher in the office of the party’s interim leader, Bob Rae.
Rae made the revelation himself in the House of Commons, announcing that the staffer in question had resigned.

Rae made the revelation himself in the House of Commons, announcing that the staffer in question had resigned.
Vikileaks was a Twitter account set up to embarrass Public Safety Minister Vic Toews by divulging messy details of his divorce. It occurred after Toews introduced a child-protection bill two weeks ago with the comment that opposition members could either stand with the government, or with the purveyors of kiddie porn. The bill, C-30, raises serious privacy issues about the Internet, as even Conservatives have acknowledged.
Vikileaks was traced to a Parliament Hill email account and shut down within days.
“I want to offer to the minister my personal apology to him,” Rae told the House. Toews accepted Rae’s gracious apology, and in the spirit of the occasion, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird offered an apology of his own, for having accused the NDP of being behind Vikileaks.
Toews then went to his Twitter account to accuse Liberal MP Justin Trudeau of being part of the plot. “You discovered Vikileaks pretty quickly for an innocent bystander,” Toews tweeted.
This would be when Trudeau wasn’t giving interviews to Radio-Canada saying Stephen Harper’s Canada wasn’t his Canada, and that he might even prefer living in a separate Quebec to a Canada where gay marriage and abortion rights weren’t respected.
That one really went viral in the Twitterverse.
It used to be said that a politician was never more than a sentence away from oblivion. Now it’s 140 characters.
