'Harper Government' - Fading Fast?

Whatsoever is, is in God
Spinoza, Ethics, Part 1, Proposition XXIX, Proof.

It is Day Fourteen of the Canadian 2015 Federal General Election campaign. The Oracle of Ottawa was hoping to post day by day, but the revelations down at the Elgin Street Courthouse of the Senator Mike Duffy trial provided by Nigel S. Wright under the gentle supportive coaxing of Donald Bayne provided so much overwhelming information that the Oracle of Ottawa had to take a twenty four hour sabbatical.

no caption required...

 As the Oracle of Ottawa conjectured right at the time of the breaking of the Senate Scandal, Senator Mike Duffy was used, abused and discarded. This was all done on purpose to create a constitutional scandal or 'crisis' whereby Steve Harper would try to get through the expulsion of the Senate and be one more step closer to the dreamed of Bild, if you follow the Oracles drift.

It has all gone so horribly wrong, hasn't it? Although we are only getting started into the revelations, Fridays testimony has unearthed some rather earth shaking implications that go so far to explaining the perverse S&M patterns of the 'Harper Government' over the last ten years. The most creepy was the repeated mentioning of the name Ray Novak. And the story early Saturday morning on CTV News World of Ray's apartment over the garage at 24 Sussex Drive, so he could be close to the 'Boss', had my significant other completely grossed out. And it seems that this has been going on for ever so long. There will no doubt be more to follow Monday coming. The Oracle of Ottawa certainly hopes that his literary constitution can stand the strain.

The included video for this post contains another interesting snack for thought, and that is that the whole right wing wrecking crew machine of the 'Harper Government' have long ago lost the ability to employ the standard concepts of ethics at any level, the whole lot is totally amoral. They can't even tell right from wrong anymore, and they couldn't care less who knows it or their opinion of it. And it seems that the old Jimmy Moore purity pledge is no longer in force at the CBC. Rex Murphy is nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile on the campaign trail, the Harper events look like a media roundup in a Soviet gulag. Even the spawn has been trotted out like dead Kennedy's in a near last ditch hope to stop the free fall. You can tell the blue collar props of the Harper media events are not very enthused to say the very least. Especially when you compare them to the very lively and electric events of Justin Trudeau. The Conservative War Room is considering already to go to Defcon 3, or as they say on Nato communication circuits, level yellow....

Carbon Tax And Credit - The Age Of Geothermal

No. Some mathematician has said that the enjoyment lies in the search for truth, not in the finding it.
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina, Part Two, Section Fourteen, Constance Garnett translation

One thing that the Oracle of Ottawa is most certain of is that Canada has a lot of rocks. We have more rocks than oil, more rocks then the Arabs have sand, and more rocks then the Asians have rice. We have white rocks, black rocks and rocks in between that are every shade, hue, and pattern. We have hot rocks and cold rocks, soft rocks and hard rocks.  Come to think of it we have more rocks than trees and Canada has trees up the ass.

Geothermal - The Next Big Thing?

It is most ironical that the line that the 'Harper Government' mocked the young Justin Trudeau the most over was his promise for a carbon tax and credit system if he ever formed government in October 2015. Well here we are only a few short months away and oil has tanked to under fifty dollars a barrel. And if the Americans cut a deal with the Iranians, all bets will be off, oil could scrape under ten dollars a barrel! Well so much for peak production and that it is all down hill from here...

It seems that it is even catching on out west. The oil industry is begging for a carbon tax and credit system. It is most likely that someone actually checked out the facts and rediscovered that Canada is a potential geothermal powerhouse of the world. And they know that this is a good ride of business, just ask anyone from Iceland! Those oil wildcatters never throw anything away, and that includes the memories of those many hot holes that never finished out to oil producers. Why sometimes the temperatures were in the hundreds of degrees.

When you come to think of it, geothermal and oil would go great together as a concurrent ongoing business model. When the oil price tanks, you could just go and work those hot holes, and it would be a great way to us up some of that stranded gas. You know a cogen turbine with geothermal assist. Plus the carbon credits of carbon free geothermal would certainly please the unit holders at dividend payout days! There could be a whole new industrial paradigm in the creation here...

Justin Trudeau Whips It Out!

Knowledge, without personality, will not suffice.
Baltasar Gracian, The Science Of Success And The Art Of Prudence, Sec. 2

You just know the end is nigh when the Leader of the Third Party is talking like a Prime Minister with out the use of speaking points or 'do me' pink lipstick. But that was the case on Thursday of last week Dear Reader. The young Justin Trudeau was out giving a perfectly well attended speech. The latest poll data were in and the young Justin was way ahead in all of them. 

Justin Trudeau - The Next One...

 But it all went nuts at the question and answer period after the speech, hosted by the seasoned Don Newman, who the Oracle of Ottawa thought looked just great, for his exceeding number of years. When the young Next One  made the most excellent point that Canada would do much better by staying out of the Americans way in the airspace and rather contribute more to the humanitarian requirements of the 'wack the ISIS' mission. The line 'whip out our CF-18's to show them how hard they are' caused an absolute fire storm in the daily news cycle in Canada.

The Oracle of Ottawa damn near split a gut from laughing so hard, not to mention darn near falling off the couch. The image of Steve Harper of the 'Harper Government' running around naked in the middle east, save for his unraveling blue turban, with his half erect CF-18 flopping about in the breeze still brings a chuckle to the Oracle, even after so many days in passing. The Oracle of Ottawa saw it all as a defining moment. The balls of the young Justin have finally fully descended, no writ required. The next federal election campaign is now officially on.     

It is only the insanity of the last days of the Right Wing Revolution and the 'Harper Government' that would cause the creation of a mission for the Canadian Forces that would essentially entail dropping $100,000.00 smart bombs on $1.98 rag-assed jihadists! Even the thickest Conservative backbencher knows that the Americans don't need any more manned fighters to clutter up the already packed airspace of the middle east.  There are no doubt so many drones in the air at the time of this writing, that they require the air traffic control department of an aircraft carrier! 

You don't need the Oracle of Ottawa to tell you Dear Reader, that there are so many bodies under the ideological bus of the 'Harper Government' that the wheels can longer touch the ground. Now it appears that it is all much worse than that. The wheels are ready to completely fall off the bus all together. The bus is located in Ottawa at an out of the way location at a City of Ottawa snow plow garage, just outside the Chinese embassy personnel compound. If you go late at night you can see that said bus, now up on blocks, way at the back. If you are lucky, you will see the door open, with a weird old fat man at the steering wheel, with a grey toupee hanging off of the mirror, steering and shifting madly at the dead controls, screaming ' I,m driving the fuck out of this bus now!' at the top of his lungs... Such is the last waning days of the 'Harper Government'.    

Tobin Tax: Push - Pull Implementation

The introduction of a substantial Government transfer tax on all transactions might prove the most serviceable reform available, with a view to mitigating the predominance of speculation in the United States. 
John Maynard Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money,  p. 160 

First of all, it should be called the Keynes Tax. But as James Tobin constantly pushed the idea through out his life time it came to be known in his name. The Oracle of Ottawa has provided the earliest reference of the idea. James Tobin first read Keynes book in 1936, and that is where he certainly got the idea. And it would be fitting that the idea of the greatest tax revenue generator of the future should go to it's true originator.

John Maynard Keynes

The main problem with implementing the Keynes tax is very strong resistance from the financial intermediaries. Better known to the average person as the banks. Of course they have darn near infinite resources and very strong lobbies at all levels of government. The very idea of someone else giving them a haircut sends them into total war mode. 

Much to the Oracle of Ottawa's surprise, the Keynes tax has been implemented in Sweden during the 1980's only to be repealed in the early 1990's. The financial institutions started rerouting the trades and flows around the single agent. Therefore it becomes clear that the tax must be pushed onto the financial institutions, and not just at one place, but at several key places all at the same time. At the time of this writing it is being planned by France and Germany together. If Canada and the United States came on board at the same time that would be it. It would get done.

The pull part of the implementation would come from government in the form of moral suasion. As the Keynes tax is introduced by representative governments, it must also in unison drop capital gains tax rates on the banks customers. Then the banks will have to fight the governments and their own customers! It will not be long before they see the light. 

Of course than you have deal with the next objection. What about the tax havens? Well Dear Reader, the thing about most tax havens is that the banking only benefits a very small number of people. And once the residents realize what revenues their respective governments are giving up, each tax haven will fall into line one by one. If worse come to worse they can also be dealt with with extreme prejudice.    

'Harper Government' - Department Of State Regime Change?

Ignorance is held in contempt; but a dangerous scepticism has succeeded it. 
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, A Discourse On The Arts And Sciences.

It has been a very busy week for the Oracle of Ottawa, and he was hoping to take the wonderful long Easter weekend off. But of course, due to the inane stupidity of the 'Harper Government', weekends off are few and far between. It all blew up on the Oracle's Sony big screen sometime on Friday, and the Oracle of Ottawa just loved the symbology of the United States Department of State announcement of the next forever delay of the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. 

Says NO..(again...)

It was great to see the United States Department of State us the same slimy tactics that the 'Harper Government' always uses to slip in the bad news. Do it on a Friday or a holiday when you think no one is paying attention. It was in a moment that the Oracle of Ottawa got the analogy. He immediately pictured Steve Harper of the 'Harper Government' freshly crucified on a cross covered in dilbit. The Oracle of Ottawa eagerly awaited the expected announcement by Joe Oliver that the staff of the United States Department of State are nothing but a bunch of foreign terrorists that have something against shitting in their own nest for fun and profit. But alas, the message never came. Perhaps old Joe lost his speaking points, and/or he simply forgot who he was again.

But upon pondering the announcement, the Oracle of Ottawa got the real message that the Department of State was really sending. And that message is; you are going to take NO for an answer, and we are also going to see you out of office as soon as possible! Yes indeed Dear Readers, the United States Department of State is now going with regime change against the pathetic 'Harper Government'. The lads deep in the Department of State know that the male types of the Harper line die around fifty something, and Hilary is soon going to be President of the United States. They just don't want Jason Kenny showing up at Hilary's inaugural ball with his mother as his date.  

The United States Department of State simply want the stylish and oh so hot Justin Trudeau as Prime Minster of Canada, and what the yanks want, the yanks get. And they certainly will love Justin and his hot wife Sophie in Washington, in or outside of the beltway, if you get the Oracle of Ottawa's drift. It is only a matter of time now Dear Readers. The tombstone of the 'Harper Government' will soon be rolled away, and the true Savior shall appear, first to all the ladies of course, because they can vote and they are so many more of them just men. Jason Kenney's Mom is off the hook.... 

Wee Jim Flaherty Cashes His Check! (Good Riddance)

It seldom happens, however, that a great proprietor is a great improver. 
Adam Smith, The Wealth Of Nations, Book III, Chapter IV

The greatest thing about the resignation of Wee Jimmy Flaherty is that the Oracle of Ottawa will never again have to look up the spelling of the word leprechaun! Canada did not survive the present turbulent past because of the Wee Jimmy, it survived despite him. And as long as the wee banty "want to be" lives, the history books will never allow him to forget it.

Wee Jimmy bails - Good Riddance!!

The Oracle of Ottawa knew we were in trouble way back around 2008, when the Minister proudly admitted during a press scrum that he never owned a stock in his life! He didn't fool around with stupid, dodgy, risky things such as that. Yes Dear Reader, lining up to buy your piece of Canada is for losers as far as the Wee Jimmy was concerned. The Oracle of Ottawa has always held the contrary view. And unlike the Wee ambulance chaser, he was able to retire at the age of 53. The Oracle of Ottawa has always believed in Canada, and has put his money where his mouth is at every opportunity. While some people with an excellent Ivy League education have to whore them selves out constantly to secure their place at the public trough.

The news of the momentus climb down came just after the stock markets closed at 4: 00 p.m. (E.S.T.) It has been reported by the 'State Broadcaster' the beloved CBC, that the wee banty minister phoned around to all the people that he thought would give a shit about his bailing after the close of the market yesterday. Well, it seems that the market has decided, it closed up over 137 points, increasing in value nearly by one whole percentage point! Yes Sir, Mr. Market is certainly sad to see the we banty minister off.

The actual reality is that Jim Flaherty was one of the, if not the worst, finance ministers in the history of Canada. Canada, again, survived, not because of Jim Flaherty and the 'Harper Government', it survived despite the 'Harper Government' and solely because of other greater men that have come before, and put in place a system so strong that not even idiots of the likes of Harper and Flaherty could do no lasting damage to it. There has been no Canadian politician that has such an ability to soil himself and our nest in public at every opportunity.

You keep hearing about that skin disease, the causes of which the Oracle of Ottawa are convinced are not physiological but rather pathological. The wee banty minister, was right from the start, in way over his head. He did not have a clue how the world really worked. All his right wing platitudes that he lived by all his life were proven in his time in office to be completely and utterly wrong and without foundation. That kind of reality check is not taken too well by fragile right wingers that confuse a bull market with their brilliance.      

The Oracle of Ottawa suspects that it all came to a head over the Christmas break last. Pondering the plummeting poll numbers and having the significant other call him Justin at a rather inopportune moment made up the wee ministers mind. There was certainly no way he was going to be in the House of Commons when the next Liberal government finds all the running fetid shit that has been swept under the carpet while he was running the watch...

Julian Fantino Gets Stomped

All the earth around laughed from the flashing bronze.
A din went up from the feet of the men.
Homer, The Iliad, Book 19.332-333, Barry B. Powell Translation

After watching Question Period today, the Oracle of Ottawa wonders how long it will be before Julian Fantino, the present Minister of Veteran Affairs, hears of his cabinet demise on the local media, as do all discarded under the bus ministers of the 'Harper Hapless Government' when they are deemed redundant. But the abrasive, dottering, early demented Minister will be able to call it all a hell of a run. From an inspection of the facts Dear Reader, you will also come to the conclusion that this actor has risen far beyond his level of competence. And that is as Christian as the Oracle of Ottawa can put it.   

"befuddled..."

It appears from publicly available information at the time of this writing, that the good Minister has never seen the inside of a high school, let alone a University! It is all pretty shocking to the Oracle of Ottawa that Julian Fantino started out as mall security guard! A plot right out of  The Trailer Park Boys. And yet, was somehow allowed to rise up to the key positions of leadership of Ontario's largest police forces. It all boggles the mind of the Oracle of Ottawa. It is not surprising that a cop could get by for all these years by essentially faking it, and Julian Fantino's life so far is proof it truly can be done.

Now most actors would have quit after rising to the top of the Ontario Provincial Police, which was paying over a quarter million a year! A shopping mall security guard. And  he came from outside the force! Have you checked the requirements just to be a constable in the OPP lately Dear Reader?  Julian Fantino would not have qualified to be a lowly constable on a northern Ontario dirt road. So in true management fashion they made him the chief! And the right wing wacko's bitch when the minimum wage is raised every four years!? And yet we have in Ontario medical doctors and Classics Professors driving cabs! Who runs Human Resources in this country? The Godfather?

The whole bottom line of the story is that you can't treat Veterans like a bunch of heads in a crack house dope raid. Why even the Mayor of Toronto at the time of this writing knows that. The Oracle of Ottawa has mentioned way earlier in this humble blog that this actor just wasn't going to last. And today in Question Period the dark gloom of Hades enveloped the doomed man, when he got called up by Thomas Mulcair. It wasn't pretty, but yet the Oracle enjoyed every moment of it. The video of the most aggressive stomping has been included above. You Dear Reader can be the judge.... 

There comes a time when all the easy low hanging nickels are cut and grasped and saved. Then you reach the point where the cost of removing the next nickel starts to incur unintended costs that far exceed the intrinsic value of the last nickel saved. This is a perfect example... 

Justin Trudeau Has Harper By The Balls!

In all things balance is better.
Homer, The Odyssey,  Book 15.71, Richmond Lattimore Translation

It was only the third day back from the world vagrant tour for the 'Harper Government' and that young Odysseus of the Liberal party of Canada otherwise known as Justin Trudeau has reached across the floor of the House of Commons and directly and firmly grabbed Stephen Harper of the 'Harper Government' firmly by the balls and in turn has gained control of the whole total agenda. Not too bad for the leader of the present Third party! And of course that is true as I have related it to you Dear Reader. Otherwise, why is today's Question Period not posted on the CPAC site as it is supposed to be? Yes, indeed, the prime Ministers Office has many friends among the corporate whores of the media companies that own CPAC. And when it all goes really wrong on any given day, you the tax paying public will just have to wait awhile to see the actual proceedings.

Justin 'Odysseus' Trudeau

It seems that they still teach Homer at that posh Jesuit high school that Justin no doubt attended, as has his great father before him, and it was also the school that Jean Chretien also attended many many years ago. And it just so happened that the young Justin was in attendance at the great Jean Chretien's 80th birthday party ever so recently. That Dear Reader is the difference between Justin Trudeau and the conservative scum. The conservative scum waits for the spin doctors and fart catchers to write their speaking points, while Justin Trudeau surrounds himself with the best and the brightest, just as his father did, and after taking the guidance of all the great men, stands up and simply acts. This quality is fully and totally beyond the mental horizon of Stephen Harper of the 'Harper Government'.

 One might ask how it all flew with the Canadian public at first glance. Well the Oracle of Ottawa found it all surprising that on a poll of Canadian viewers of Power and Politics in real time, natch, that over 97% of people polled agreed strongly with the young Justin's idea!  Now for all of us that know such things, the 'Harper Hapless Government' has never had one act in all their years in office that ever even came close to that level of approval. The only thing that they ever came close to achieving 97% in is fucking up! And of course in politics you can only usually do that just one time....

Is Kim Jong-un Really Driving?

The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air,and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying "It is done!"
Revelation, 16:17, NRSV

Well! Here it is Easter Sunday night, and North Korea has totally fallen out of the vulgar old style television news rotation. No detected launches, no screaming hordes of hermits from the Hermit Kingdom pouring over the border, hurrying to the main objective of the first video arcade that could be captured in South Korea. Why it is so quiet that the Oracle of Ottawa suspects that all the lads and ladies aboard the on station Ohio class submarine more than likely got in the full standard sit down Easter dinner after all.

Ohio Class - Your tax dollars at work...

All the recent events really had the Oracle of Ottawa going for a while. But alas, the appearance, or lack there of, on radar, of that huge flight of B-2 bombers no doubt had the desired effect. Not to mention the many very weird reports from the countryside, so far unconfirmed, of those huge low flying whirring insects that have never been seen before. Perhaps the youngster Kim Jong-un has finally realized that the guys at the United Nations were really serious this time, and the X-Box upgrades will surely be a long time in coming.

It was the footage of Kim  Jong-un that was on one of the old style vulgar media news castes that really made the Oracle of Ottawa nervous earlier in the week. From reading the face and the expressions, not to mention the body language of Kim Jon-un, it appeared to the Oracle of Ottawa that the little man was doing what he was told. He didn't look to the Oracle as if he was really in charge. It all rather appeared to the Oracle, from where he was observing, that the old hardliners had totally taken control of their young charge.

But all in, you have to give the hermits of the Hermit Kingdom an E for effort. It takes a lot of balls or really good and hi grade drugs to start threatening the United States of America with a nuclear missile strike! Now getting past that, these people know that there is an American boomer SSBN nuclear powered submarine out there somewhere that could take out every city in North Korea, not just once, but at least twice, depending which boat is on station. Perhaps the hermits of the Hermit Kingdom, were hoping to get into the parking lot business? The glowing green glass type. 

Pondering Pontius Pilate

What I have written, I have written.
Pontius Pilate, John, 19:22

The Oracle of Ottawa has always been fascinated by Pontius Pilate; as a man and a civil servant and of course, of the role he played in the death of Jesus Christ. Unknown to most people, Pontius Pilate came from a very good and noble Roman Family, The Pontii's. He was of the Equestrian Order, that is of the second highest tier of Roman society. He no doubt busted his chops in the Roman Legions. He, also, in all probability, traveled near and far in the service of his emperor and his empire.

Ecce Homo...

Now the one thing that has always made the Oracle of Ottawa wonder is what did he do to get a crap posting to the Roman Province of Judea? Was it the head stand over the head table punch bowl at some Senator's daughters wedding in Rome, while he was home on leave from his Legion? Such actions in the beginning of a career can have long and devastating consequences as we all know. Such a question, and the answer to it are lost in the mauzy fogs of history.

Now just at the time that Pontius Pilate was posted to Judea as prefect (26CE-36CE), the Roman Empire was approaching its greatest extent. Practically the whole known world was under the governance of the Roman Empire. Ponder that! No internet, no telegraph, no printing and yet the last remanent of the Roman Empire did not die until 1453CE  with the fall of Constantinople! It has to be obvious to the modern person of today that the Romans had something going on.

Pilate Stone - Pilate was a real man...

 With all this in mind, and the fact that the "thinking about thinking" project reading has lead the Oracle of Ottawa to reread the New Testament, again, it was with a startling revelation upon reading the introductory quote of this piece that the Oracle of Ottawa totally understands the role that Pilate played in the fulfillment of ancient scripture and in turn the creation of the new covenant as fulfilled by God's only Son. The Oracle of Ottawa realized that at the end of the Passion of Christ, that Pontius Pilate was converted! And he successfully fulfilled his destiny as the vessel to whom ancient prophecy called.

We know from the Gospel of Matthew that Pilates wife  dreamt of the coming troubles that Jesus Christ would bring upon her house and her husband. And it all came to unfold as intense experiences do, in a very fast blur indeed. If a person is very well versed in the history of the time and all the constraints that Pilate was operating under, he proved to be in the end, a very ethical man indeed. He was sitting on a rather explosive situation. He only had about 3,000 centurions at hand. If an insurrection had of broken out, all of Judea would have went up in a fireball! Pontius Pilate was between a rock and very hard place.

The Oracle of Ottawa has often tried to imagine what it would have been really like to be on the ground at this momentus time. For a real exercise in leadership and management procedures try to imagine what it would have been like from Pilates toga and sandals! But upon reflection he seems to have taken the advice of Jesus himself. Pontius Pilate rendered unto Caesar what was Caesar's and rendered unto God what was God's...

Pilate with his hands full. What would you have done?

Elizabeth May - Bitch Slaps The 'Harper Government'

The supremacy of the verbal over the monumental has something about it of the supremacy of life over death.
Northrop Frye, The Great Code, p. 200

As frequent flyers of this blog already know, the Oracle of Ottawa is a great fan of Elizabeth May, the party of one, representing all the Green Party of Canada, so far... In a posting just before the last Canadian federal election the Oracle of Ottawa advised the people of Elizabeth Mays riding that there could be no better vote than for Elizabeth May. These people were pretty smart and took the Oracle of Ottawa's advice.

Elizabeth May - Party of One...

I have included a link to the great woman's article on Wikipedia, so that you could fill in the back ground. This is a blog, not War and Peace, after all...It is quiet safe to say, right out loud, that there is more knowledge between the ears of Elizabeth May than in all of the 'Harper Government' cabinet!

It was the Wednesday Question Period, and Liz, as one of the "other parties", got in a Members Statement, and it was a sneak in statement, but you only get sixty seconds, and no better use of sixty seconds in all of Canadian history was so well used. As the Oracle of Ottawa has feared and predicted, we have been sold down the Yellow River, so to speak, by the 'Harper Government' for a mere thirty pieces of silver. Yes, dear reader, the Canada - China Investment Treaty will leave Canada worse off then we ever were as a colony of the British Empire!  As a matter of fact you may as well call Canada the Gold Mountain or the most Western province of China!

It is quiet clear that when this "treaty" is enforced we in Canada will be essentially a colony of Communist China! You just can't make this stuff up. But it invokes many other dangers. The most important being that the Americans to our immediate south, may not look favorably upon a communist state setting up shop, so to speak, on the door step of the United States of America. Do you remember the Cuban Missile Crisis?  The Oracle of Ottawa has warned before in an earlier posting, that it was and is his greatest fear that the Americans will invade Canada, and if the 'Harper Government' is not stopped this is what will happen. The United States  simply will not tolerate a compromised government of even an ally to endanger the American people. 

 Elizabeth May - Party of One!

Tax and Spend or Tax and Thieve?

Well, Just watch me!
Pierre Elliot Trudeau,  CBC Interview, October 13, 1970

Day 10 of campaign 2011 has come and gone. And nothing has changed with the Oracle of Ottawa. This election is to me, simply about finding the best person I can to represent the Greater Good and the good souls of my fellow countrymen. Steve Harper still utterly frightens me, Micheal Ignatieff is greatly impressing me, and Jack Layton still warms my soul.

The programs proposed by Micheal Ignatieff are to me the best spending of a tax dollar that any government can make. You see Mr Ignatieff understands the concept that, economically, there are one or two, shall we call them "endowments" that are in infinite supply. The most valuable one being the unrealized potential of the citizens. It is always in unlimited supply, therefore breaking all the old rules of "classical economics". All you have to do is develop it and damn will that tax revenue flow in! Now I got all the Conservatives scratching their heads in total confusion. Well how do you get a kick-back from that socialist stuff?

Now the Conservatives have a "different " model. No matter how rich and well off Canada ever gets, no one under any circumstance, can ever have anything, if it appears the citizen is getting something for nothing. Efficient government taxing and spending to gradually get more tax, is utterly stupid! Being in office and "power" is just stupid  if you can't make it pay for yourself. So to make a pile for yourself before you get found out you follow the money. Now it is the filthy rich corporations  that have all the money, and are always wanting something, not unlike a welfare mother or a senior citizen, but just richer! Hay! Its the first thing you learn out west / or on the farm... You go where it flows! Right?

And now I just wonder how low we will go as a Nation, before we all rise up and take the Equitable Canada that we all deserve. Are you going to let the blue sinking scum turn this great country into a Bilderberg Group penal colony? Are we going to create the Conservative level playing field? By turning Canada into a Third World country? Thrown wide open to every low life soul fucking corporate whore that can slip the Tory scum the cash entrance fee? Well? Are you going to let that happen?

Finding my Richard Nixon

" To Richard Milhous Nixon, who never let me down. "
Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt, Gonzo Papers Volume I, epigraph, p. 7

There are five qualities that I detest in men in public life; (1) Ugly, (2) Greasy, (3) Fat, (4) Stupid, and (5) Slow.
I will briefly discuss each in turn.

(1) Ugly. If the camera does not " love you" stay out of public life. Save and except elected positions such as; school board trustee and / or dog catcher. These are positions in which  you will never be seen anyway. I, as a voter, citizen and tax payer want and expect the "Best and the Brightest". American goatee's on a Canadian man in public office is an absolute disaster. It looks like you were eating honey dipped donuts at the "y" in the men's locker room . (get it?...) 

(2) Greasy. This is to be taken literally and figuratively. Don't over do the hair grease if you are of the male sex. It looks like someone has just "cum" in your hair and it is not too "fetchin'". Don't even think you can slide your hidden agenda past me...especially if my back is turned!

You want a piece of me?

(3) Fat. In public life your appearance is everything! Don't gross me out! We own you! You work for me! Don't ever forget that, even if your from Cumberland or Centrepointe! When I see you in media, my first thought should not be of  the movie Deliverance!

(4) Stupid. Don't do something just to get your face on / in the local small time media. The purpose of government is to facilitate not to constrict. How simple is that? If you have an overwhelming desire to stand in front of a TV camera for no particular reason save to embarrass yourself and in turn your constituents, resign and purchase an interest in a used car lot. Also be very careful who's Kool Aid your drinking. You are being closely observed...

(5) Slow. This describes any one that is thick enough not to understand the first four items just discussed!

There is one character or actor that I am thinking of here. I am giving you every opportunity to get your self together. If I see another performance such as the brief  first one I saw in the week just past I will eat you alive! The pictures, tag lines, formats are all ready and standing by... Don't be my Richard Nixon. 

Its on...
