At first I really didn't think much of what he was saying. In later reflection I thought what exactly is an unreported crime?<br /><br />Is it....<br /><br />- the dog owners who don't clean up after their dog defecates on my lawn?<br />- the people next door disturbing the peace at 5:00 am who make unhuman like sounds mixed with profanity while having sex?<br />- the old man who holds up traffic by driving his rascal down the middle of my street?<br /><br />Or is it ...<br /><br />- a government who breaks their own election law without a single member of that party filing a grievance or complaint?<br />- ministers who leave sensitive government documents lying around?<br /><br />In any case I am somewhat confused by what Mr. Day was trying to establish with his statements. In the end I could not follow his logic as to how these unreported crimes demanded more prisons.<br /><br />Leave your comments below of what you think an unreported crime may be...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19472074.post-61270669860700624992009-11-24T22:28:00.001-04:002009-11-24T22:32:20.265-04:00Canadian MP Launches Petition to Stop Federal Funding of Planned Parenthood<p>OTTAWA, Ontario, November 2, 2009 (<a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/">LifeSiteNews.com</a>) - "We, the undersigned residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to stop all funding of International Planned Parenthood Federation," reads <a href="http://www.bradtrost.ca/Media/CIDA_PlParenthood_petition_final.pdf">a new petition </a>being circulated by Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Brad Trost (Saskatoon-Humboldt). <a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/nov/09110203.html"> read more here .... </a><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19472074.post-1127494915625360742009-10-18T08:53:00.006-03:002009-10-18T09:08:26.780-03:00Did Some More Chequing AroundYesterday I posted <a href="http://stoppingharper.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-chequing-around.html">some pictures of MP's with their BIG cheques</a> who had not yet been identified as being part of the cheque-scheme.<br /><br />However, there were a few more that I cam across which you will find below.<br /><br />Royal Galipeau, MP Ottawa Orleans.

Frankly they mean nothing. If memory serves me right we have had countless elections that have been ill timed. The most recent being the 2008 Federal Election... when you know... Harper broke his own election law and sent Canadians to the election box even though the polls indicated people did not want an election.<br /><br />For those pundits who think Canadians will backlash and vote the party down who ends this Government are just plan oblivious to how Canadians think. After about a week of campaigning people will forget about how much they felt an election was not needed.<br /><br />Before I go on let me revert back to Harper's little election stunt from a few months ago... was that not pure opportunism as well. Those viewing Ignatieff's motives as such should think twice and consider the Machiavellian tactics of Harper and Co.<br /><br />Maybe I'm not supposed to understand why when Harper does something its not opportunism, but when Ignatieff does it ... well... he must want power? Heck I hate to be a realist and burst all these idealists in the media bubbles, but the end game of politics is pretty much that. Do people honestly think that if Layton had the chance to push his party into government he would just sit back and enjoy the comfort of the worst seats in the House of Commons?<br /><br />As far as the argument goes that an election would halt or delay spending is pure hiss-posh. Is the House not adjourning for the summer next week anyways? Would this money move any faster then it already is with Flaherty at the helm? And... from what I have observed most of the economic measures from the most recent budget have been passed.<br /><br />This government has had plenty of time to get money moving. Maybe they should not have tried to introduce pointless spending measures in the economic update after the Thrown Speech. Maybe if the House of Commons had not been prorogued things may have happened a little faster. Oh yeah ... and on that point anyone who says that Harper wasn't being opportunistic when he asked for a parouged parliament <em></em>due to his economic measures that would have crippled democracy need to pull the remaining winter frost out of their eyes.<br /><br />So what if the house falls ... MP's spend their summer months campaigning instead of working the BBQ circuit. If this government is so concerned with infrastructure spending, why are projects that were allotted funds in past budgets still not receiving funds?<br /><br />Seems to me that with the recent level of displayed incompetence by this Government on so many issues that it is time for them to go.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19472074.post-31131571163073946462008-10-03T10:29:00.003-03:002008-10-03T10:49:07.695-03:00NDP McKeever "I like the part in Schindler's List when the guard starts waxing the prisoners"Layton must explain why he continues to support Durham NDP Candidate Andrew McKeever after this statement was found on his <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=46379811">myspace page</a>.

Bush."<br /><br />On his Facebook page, Mr. McKeever currently lists his political views as "Baathist" - and links to the Wikipedia entry for the political party of Saddam Hussein.<br /><br />The latest comments from Mr. McKeever build on a string of distasteful comments that Mr. Layton has ignored:<br /><br />"Answer a direct f**king question you c*nt. I can guarantee, if I ever see you face to face I will make you squeal for the same authority you have such a baseless disdain for."<br /><br />"Boyd [a poster to his Facebook group] if I ever see you anywhere in Toronto I will kick the sh*t out of you."<br /><br />The comments are available at: http://www.liberal.ca/pdf/docs/080925_facebook_mckeever.pdf<br /><br />He made further comments:<br /><br />July 18, 2008, 2:32 pm: "I can say anything I want on here, as long as it is predicated properly, and avoids some of the more obvious subjects.I can type what I like. I can also (as in this case) copy and save the entire body of this message to cover my ass, should you in fact choose to make an issue out of it. Which you may or may not.

It is clear that these offensive and irresponsible remarks were intentionally designed to silence his critics and, most importantly, occurred on more than one occasion. Given what is now known, Mr. McKeever should resign - effective immediately,” said Bryan Ransom, Liberal candidate for Durham.<br /><br />Here are additional offensive quotes to Ms. Krystalline Kraus on her war deserter Facebook site from Andrew McKeever:<br /><blockquote>“You are a fascist b*tch.”<br /><br />“Why should a U.S. Soldier be kept in Canada in the first place? Are you looking for us to be occupied?

Geeze. This is rather interesting. Regardless he will shortly cease to be a problem in Canada (he never was a Canadian problem). Hopefully he’ll be butt-stroked or something when he hits American soil.”<br /></blockquote>These comments follow revelations that surfaced earlier this week where Mr. McKeever wrote Facebook posts using obscenities and threatening violence against a woman who had a different viewpoint than his own. <br /><br />So Mr. Layton, where do you draw the line on offensive conduct?
