'Harper Government' - High Tech Attawapiskat Genocide?

Virtually all ideologues, of any variety, are fearful and insecure, which is why they are drawn to ideologies that promise prefabricated answers for all circumstances. 
Jane Jacobs, Dark Age Ahead, p. 115

Well! Bet you didn't see this coming! Why, it was only yesterday, that I predicted that the 'Harper Government' had already peaked. Even I am scaring myself. (?) And didn't this outrageous scandal make for awesome Question Period? Since the Oracle of Ottawa has watched every Question period of this parliament, I can safely tell you Dear Reader that today was simply the best so far. The Oracle of Ottawa was sure that Bob Rae was going to pop a blood vessel! When "Premier Bob" is really pissed, there is no orator alive today, that can even hope to catch him when he gets to full flight. He was literally and physically vibrating! And Charlie Angus laid down the supporting covering fire, in and with his usual aplomb. He is so good at the outrage with restraint, it is just poetry to watch.  The Oracle of Ottawa was awed and proud to be a Canadian.

Attawapiskat Luxury Inn - Enjoy your stay!

 As you might expect, on a day such as this, that there were some people on the government side of the House who were wishing with all their being, that they could be just anywhere else!  One of them was John Baird, and as the Oracle of Ottawa predicted, he has realized today that he is in way over his head. He knew way more then any of  his peers on his side, how bad this was going to be and that it is now playing out all over the world. And that this is another terminal deadly screw up that is going to follow him around for longer than he cares to contemplate. The fall out from this will stream on for the rest of the mandate... Especially for that secret "ark" plan for a certain small Middle East state... That doesn't get along too well with its neighbours... And at the present rate it is going could be in the Med at any moment, I just can't remember the name, brain freeze!


Another thought,  Diane Finley has a big bill coming that will change all the charity rules in Canada forever. It contains a lot of that insane neo-con crap about Private Public Partnerships, which today is all but a smoking pile of wreckage! The Conservatives will constantly be reminded of that PPP between the Attawapiskat First Nation and that one very well known international diamond company. Totally cooked and doomed. All hat and no cattle indeed!

What?! - Wrong picture?

But there is one Hail Mary way out for the Conservatives to save the day. Here it goes. It is radical, but it has been done before and recently. If the PMO  wants to upgrade the Attwapiskat First Nation in record time, all they have to do is clear about 50 million dollars in slush money from some other government department, put Tony Clement on a Challenger jet with the instructions that there is going to be a G8 summit in Attawapiskat in 90 days! Just like magic there will be a college campus, (that would probably get used...), luxury condos, apartment buildings, gazebos all over the god damned place, and for good measure, the mandatory "fake lake". Not to mention a Mounty behind every rock and tree. (No extra charge...) 

Go Charlie Go!!

How To Hold A G20 Summit Real Cheap

Every thing, 'tis said, must have a cause; for if anything wanted a cause, it wou'd produce itself; that is, exist before it existed; which is impossible.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, p. 80

If you live in one of the great cities of one of the G20 nations, you know how much trouble a G20 summit can cause. The blocked traffic, the restricted areas, and last, but hardly least, the inevitable demonstrations. At the end of the summit, you wonder, if it might be better not to be a G20 member nation!

Hold the next G20 here...

These events are always thrown by the government of the hosting nation. In Canada recently this lead to a wack of problems. Well a train wreck in all cold reality. You just can't expect a bunch of social Darwinists to throw a cosmopolitan world class event. Take for example the 2010 G20 Toronto summit. The end cost was over one billion dollars! For one freakin' weekend! The civil liberties of Ontario citizens were suspended for the duration of the summit. There was incredible property damage and many arrests. Practically all the charges were dropped for the evil doers. Funny that...

Who needs this shit?

The fallout is still reverberating. The "Minister" in charge, one Tony "Two Tier" Clement, the minister of Treasury Board, just went nuts with his bag of nickels. It has been, as of today, one hundred and sixteen days that he does not have the balls to stand to his seat in the House of Commons and answer the questions of his seeming irregularities from the very curious opposition. He is all but done. The police investigation continues. It was so nuts and out of control that there are stories of Muskoka town councilors refusing any more Olympic civil structures. Just try to imagine that....

Summit here, Do it till you puke!!

It is all fine and very much fun to bitch. But the trick is come up with a solution. And the Oracle of Ottawa believes he has the solution for all future G20 summits. Hold them at sea! For instance when the summits are in the United States or Great Britain they can be held on an aircraft carrier. For the rest of the hosting countries, it would be much cheaper and more secure for every one involved to simply charter a cruise ship!
All these platforms are big enough for the leaders and a very large press contingent, and with the communication technology of today, filing the latest breaking news is a total doddle! The cost would be in the tens of millions and they could stay at it for weeks! No democratic nation should be burned down for a billion dollar weekend.

Now a 116 days and counting...

Baird - Lebel Tells: There Goes The Majority!!

'Tis impossible for the mind to preserve any notion of difference betwixt two bodies of the same nature existing in the same place at the same time.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, p. 41

When Olivia Chow stands to her seat in Question Period and all but losses her still strong Chinese accent and sounds like a matron that was born and raised Rosedale, you know the NDP smell blood! They smell the weakness and the fear like a pack of wolves which can tell which moose in the herd will be dinner tonight! Now group this with the blatant and oh so transparent tells of the front bench Conservative sock-puppet mental midgets and it is very easy indeed for most any blogger, even those that are not as intelligent as the Oracle of Ottawa, to immediately start writing about the future in advance of a minimum of two weeks!

Conservative Minister...

You know that the opposition has touched the royal blue g-spot when the old tells start to show. This was very apparent in the question period of September 27, 2011. All that stuff that the NDP and the Liberals are saying about "Two Tier" Tony Clement must be true! When ever they ask "Two Tier" a question in the House, the Minister fails to stand to his seat and be forthright with the people of Canada! Charlie Angus is feeding like Jaws at an orphanage beach day! It is the great man John Baird that takes the questions for old Tony. And during the Tuesday Question Period Minister Baird was talking very slowly and his voice has dropped two and a half octaves! All us old hands of watching Question Period knows what this means! The answer forthcoming is an answer, just not the truth...And it seems to be spreading! It seems that Minister Denis Lebel, in utter panic, has forgotten how to speak English under certain question topics about major infrastructure! This  blog writer surmises that it is the Ministers conflict with his inner PQ...Selling out can extract a large price bonhomme!!

Charlie Angus - Ready for Question Period...

It is hard to believe, but it all gets better! It seems the real right wing wacko's are stirring in their usual pathological frustration. One Brad Trost has unloosed Steve Harpers favorite ghost from the Tory hope chest. Yes that, "no abortion for any reason", hell cat has been re-loosed! Complete with the "resurrection" of one Charles McVety, I told the party whip that they should have used two stones to keep him from rising from the dead, but noooo...Sometimes a savings is no bargain. The majority should start to shrink any day now, just like I told you months ago.

And now Let Us Pray, my fellow Canadians, really, I am not joking...

Big Booty In Muskoka!!

A man should be upright, not kept upright.
Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations, III, 5

One good thing about bad government, it makes for great Question Period! And the Oracle of Ottawa feels already that in the 41st Canadian Parliament, we are well on the way to some of the greatest Question Periods of modern times!

When it all starts with a shocker, tighten your seat belts. And that is exactly what the young Micheal Chong provided by standing to and complaining of a proposed American Hedge Fund coming to his patch to open a small quarry that will only be about three miles long... and just devastate the local environment. But isn't that what the Tories want? Isn't it their policy that we need this "foreign investment"? It appears to the Oracle of Ottawa this young lad has the spine and presence of a Father of Confederation. And in turn is somehow by by accident sitting on the wrong side of the House and with a low grade of people....

Big Booty in Muskoka!! Woo-Hoo!

Today in Question Period, history was made...by Pierre-Luc Dusseault of the NDP, as he stood to in his place for the first time, and made his first statement and question as the youngest elected member of parliament in Canadian history! I don't even remember the question, but this youngster looked really solid on his feet, and his English was perfect. It looked like he has practiced in front of a mirror since he was about eight years old! So parents, if your Geeky kid wears thick pop bottle glasses and his/her favorite pastime is addressing Parliament in their room, do not wisk the poor kid to the Kitty Shrink! Make sure they have as many "adult" books on Canadian government and law as your little wallet can bear! They will repay your show of confidence! Out of the mouth of babes... it warmed the Oracle of Ottawas heart...

Rodney Weston, sits to his place... A great Conservative.

Then the highlight of the day, the Alexandre Boulerice, Charlie Angus tag team attack on the pathetic cowardly and today cringing Tony "Two Tier" Clement. Again it was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the great man John Baird that came to his pathetic rescue. Today the theme was booty! Big Booty In Muskoka! Referring to the recent Porkathon at that G8 summit.... If it isn't true why won't it go away? It must be true because the John Baird devastating tell kicked in again, the yapping got faster and faster and lower and lower... Opps!

It was very nice to see the now Veteran MP Scott Sims standing to and going for the freakin' jugular! I guess the Weather Channel has given up any hope of getting their shinning boy back in this lifetime....Really great eat your own words attack today. The Conservatives really hate that!! And we all love watching it!

Poor Diane Ablonczy fattening every day from the binge eating? Cabinet a little stress full dear? No, really, The Flintstones is not a documentary, no I am not making that up!

Reform is back in town! But will they be able to get out of town??

Pigs Fly In Muskoka

I didn't feel the need to have a lot of yes-men standing around me. As Mitchell Sharp once put it, the bigger the staff, the smaller the minister.
Jean Chretien, My Years As Prime Minister, p. 38

No rant today. In its place I will provide some observations from today's Question Period. The Oracle of Ottawa has noticed that the crop of newbies mixed with the old seasoned hands has provided observations that are begging to be made...And the paradox of the chiseling of the Conservatives on you and I while they are deploying the largest cabinet in history!

James Moore, a sad tragic waste of a Liberal

First up was James Moore, looking totally on the wrong side of the House in his dapper red Liberal tie! And no James, it doesn't make you look fat...The poor bastard had to try and tap dance through the fact that his budgets are being cut up to 35% at Heritage Canada to the shouted observations that that money is being redeployed to the new super-max prisons...Why, that is to build the Canada we all dream of...

Alexandre Boulerice and the lads did a most excellent pile on to Two-Tier Tony Clement! Why the lads were so together that the pig eyes of John Baird recessed even farther into his skull as he rose to fight Tony's battles. One astute seasoned  Scotsman, Charlie Angus I believe,  from the NDP mentioned something to the effect that it was raining pork in Muskoka! Yes, last summer the pigs did fly in Muskoka, didn't they? The shiny sheen of weasel sweat broke out on Tony "Two Teir" Clement and remained for the rest of Question Period...The John Baird lisp makes my skin crawl, but I continued to watch, fighting the gag reflex, this is for Canada after all!

Charlie Angus, a great future, deadly on his feet...

Of course we got to see  the Minister of Labour tap dance on the subject of those nasty strikes ongoing. The self thought slick Lisa Raitt said that the disputes should be left to take care of themselves. But on the six o'clock news that had somehow changed to back to work legislation... The strike at Air Canada is not even a day old! Of course organized labour's right to strike is under no threat at all is it?

It was a laugh a minute folks as the Minister of Indian Affairs (John Duncan) stood up in the House and admitted right out that yes the RCMP and CSIS were staking out any signs of evil doing. If you are in a band office, check the flower pots Chief!! And remember! Walk and talk - outside!!

Egyptian die, 600-800 B.C.

On a very sad and depressing note, the Oracle of Ottawa noticed the bitter visage of the Pembroke hottie Cheryl Gallant sullen in her seat, passed over again for cabinet. It appears that she has acquired the Krista Erickson look straight out of Sun News TV wardrobe and all! This should be exploited by the opposition! You just don't know what will puke out of her trap of a yap.. Always worth a shot!

The high light of today's Question period was the Maiden Question of Ruth Ellen Vegas Brosseau! I gotta hand to the NDP fart catcher contractors and trainers! I didn't recognize her! And damn, she is a Babe! But the Oracle of Ottawa knew he was witnessing History. That magic moment, when it was show time, and she stood to her feet and seemed to grow at least six inch's, the look on her faced changed, it was Magic! She realized it was time to really Roll'em for real and forever...We all witnessed the birth of a politician.

 Rock on kitties....

Tony Clement Harrases The Wrong Industry

NORFOLK:     Be advised,
Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot
That it do singe yourself.
William Shakespeare, The Life of King Henry the Eighth, Act1.1, line 139-141, The Complete Pelican Shakespeare, p. 1174

Tony Clement the Minister of Industry has threatened to call in certain and unknown oil industry executives for a public(?) Parliamentary Committee  hearing concerning the present market derived price of gasoline. I just don't get it at all. The people of Canada have just given the Tory government a majority in the last Federal Election. They have voted for small government, no interference in the market place, and that free and open markets will always come to the right solution.

You can buy all the gas you want...

 The Conservatives cheered when the Canadian Government sold their shares in Petro Canada for a huge profit, stating that government has no business in business.When they achieved office, barely, it was slash and burn...The best government in the true Shit For Brains western manner is no government at all. Screw you and screw the future... But the thing is you can buy gasoline, if you pay the price, you can have all you want! We are all out of 90 cent a litre gas at present, but you can have all the $1.40 a litre gas you can pay for!

Chemo Drugs not available at any price..

If only all the items in our economy were like gasoline... you can buy all the gas you want! But, just hope you or the wife or the kids don't come a "downer" with cancer! It seems that a whole wack of the range of the Chemotherapy drugs that are very widely used and most of them generic are unavailable at any price! What is up with that Mr. Two Tier? Why don't you haul in some of the pigs from Big Pharma? Why won't you allow Health Canada to source these everyday drugs from the European Union? Now that would be television!!
