Haught vs. Naught #5

Now that Prime Minister Harper has steamrolled over all his opponents, followed through on his promises, there's a sense of clarity with the government and much pride in Canada now, isn't there? Or maybe it's the Oilers. Anyway, here we go...

Haught - Prime Minister Harper. On the front of the blatantly bias Globe and Mail this past week, it read something to the effect that "Harper slow on Senate reform". Excuse me? Slow? I don't know about you, but 159 years compared to 159 days ain't slow, ya know. Oh I'm sure the media would love it if the gov't opened up the constitution again to "fast-track" headlines. Regardless, the prime minister's proposals have exposed the Liberal senators who threaten to block Conservative bills. And remember when he appointed Michel Fortier and everyone was in a huff? I said at that time Harper did it for many reasons, one of which to draw attention to the senate again, which is need of massive reform. There's that word again, "Reform". Hehe.

Now the Conservatives are raising the age of consent to 16 with a 5 year radius. My stars! Another promise kept. Oh, and fixed election dates are good too. See you in October 2009!

Naught - LibLead hopeful, Joe Volpe. Now that 11 year old twins can donate $10,000 to a campaign, the possibilities are endless. To be honest, I didn't even know he was running. Looks like we have another "Joe who?" Sure, he just returned the money, but I mean, come on.

Naught - Liberal senators. I happened to watch some of them ask Foreign Affairs Minister Peter Mackay, "What the heck are we doing in Afghanistan?" If they can't figure that one out, it's too bad Harper's senate term limits don't apply to these cronies.

Haught - Ralph Klein. Briefly. Before he received a "Survivor" plaque from his provincial counterparts, outlasting, outwitting (!), and outplyaing 38 premiers and 4 prime ministers, King Ralph told them that Alberta's resource revenue should not be equated in the provincial transfer "formula". I'm glad that he's the only one who's been around long enough to remember the BNA act.

Naught - CBC reporter, Anna Maria Tremonti. Her use of "Conservative clan" in her show "The Current" has created some waves. Here's some of Dr. Roy's Thoughts, who wrote to the CBC and got a flippent reply.

That's all for now folks! Thanks for stopping by.
