Some Red Herring With Your Flap Jacks, Perhaps?

Ok, all together now; YUCK!!!

I caught this piece over at  Montreal Simon’s, complete with cheesy photo (when it comes to Master Steve, is there any other kind?) of him flipping rather oddly shaped pancakes at a Calgary Stampede Breakfast, complete with plaid shirt.  I was going to comment over at his place, but decided to comment at my own place instead, because I had too much to say for comment board and it would be more appropriate for my blog instead.

Prorogation to run away from the truth.

Embarrassment by an MP being married to a toad.

Having a heart attack, running around like a chicken with his neck cut off, feverishly attempting to block Karla …Leanne …. Homolka…Teale…whatever she calls herself these days from obtaining a pardon as if that would correct the crown’s blunder over 20 years ago — must have raised that blood pressure.

Holding his breath, hoping no one will notice when he pushes Bill c-42, an insidious bill, that once again, further cedes our sovereignty to the U.S.

Yes, there is no rest for the wicked after getting European leaders to scrap their social programs we can only envy as well as other painful austerity programs on the backs of the working class and society’s most vulnerable after the U.S. deregulates their banking industries, banks lending money that never existed in the first place and world leaders can continue feeding their fat cat friends.

It must be so tiring ducking many who are demanding an inquiry into why vandals got away with what they did in Toronto and why 900 innocent people got arrested and held under such substandard conditions that made those of common criminals look like the Ritz Carlton, after stripping so many of their basic human rights.

It must be daunting after stacking the senate with with Harpercon candidates who couldn’t win their ridings fair and square only to still have enough senators go uppety demanding Bill C-9 be modified or split into smaller bills only to have a hissy fit and threaten an election over it.

I would say Steve got his feelings hurt when Iggy made reference of the stench of sulfur resonating from him, assuming he had any feelings, that is, which we all know, he doesn’t.

All that and Steve’s best comeback was that dastardly coalition, complete with Bloc Quebecois and all, despite the fact that poll after poll had reflected that (ok, it was without the Bloc) the math just simply wasn’t in favour with an NDP/Liberal coalition or merger.

Montreal Simon seems to believe  Master Steve the tactician is afraid of this big bad coalition as do the commentators over there.

I have to disagree here, given the math. Steve is too smart to not notice the math. As usual, he is counting on Jane and Joe Canuck to not stop and do the math. Remember his demand to Canadians: “I want you to not care” and sadly, it is working like a charm.  Let’s get the Timmy’s crowd to forget things like police corruption, fake lakes with unicorns flying above them, billion dollar security details that concentrated mainly on protecting inanimate objects like fences over people, bills that further cede our sovereignty to the Americans at  their whims,  etc…etc…Like the skilled hypnotist that would swing something shiny back and forth; get them worked up and scared over something that would probably never happen, at least, not in the near future anyway.

If truth be told, that coalition thang is a convenience he can fall back on anytime he thinks he’s in trouble, much like a child’s imaginary friend if you will. He ain’t scared of mergers/coalitions; he wishes they would do it. It pushes him that much closer to his totalitarian regime majority.  One must remember, Steve would easily gain new sitting MPs without working too hard for them. Hello Blue Grits.

It should also been noted, yes, pesky reality, AGAIN!! The unification of the right (yeah, the one where Petey McKay sold out) was more like a disfunctional family reunion of sorts out to make more and more Canadian families disfunctional, than a merger of different parties.

More about Master Steve’s red herring and flap jack breakfast here.

“They’re moving ever closer together…”

He says in reference to the Bloc Quebecois, the NDP and The Liberals.

Really? That does sound delusional.  Theatrical.

I shouldn’t have to point out the obvious, but I will.  These 3 parties couldn’t be further apart these days. Liberals go one way;the NDP go another, more often than not, they simply to do the opposite of the Liberals.  The NDP, particularly Layton and Thomas Mulcair the Mouth can’t help taking pot shots at the Liberals any chance they get. In fact, they slam the Liberals as often as they do the Cons, if not, perhaps even more. The NDP may even prefer the Harpercons to win the next election over the Liberals. One example would be that  the Liberals will be whipped into vointing against C-391. The NDP are proving that gun control isn`t all that important. There’s a major issue right there.

As for the Bloc, well, they do their own thing. They’re back on reviving Quebec sovereignty.  Sovereignty is a now or never kind of deal and campaigning and mounting enthusiasm for it must start now as far as they’re concerned. Those who wish for the coalition know full well that the only way the math could work is with them involved in some kind of arrangement with the NDP and the Liberals. But, with the sovereignty movement growing, I have already pointed out the obvious; that for them to get into bed with the other two federeralist parties not only sends mixed messages to federalists and sovereigntists alike, but it’s counterproductive in so many ways.

The Bloc Quebecois voted with the Liberals to compromise with Steve regarding the Afghan detainee documents. That fateful vote the Liberals were chided for by many, but virtually, no one really spoke of the Bloc going along with them too. They have been even remarkably silent throughout the whole G20 fiasco in spite of the hundreds of Quebecois arrested.

If anything, the Bloc may be hoping for Harper majority as that will probably be their best chance for the yes side to win in the next sovereignty on referendum, so I can see them perhaps making some kind of pre-election deal.

But a Lib/NDP/Bloc coalition; really! It just ain’t happening! And of all the red herrings Harper could have served up with those Calgary Stampede pancakes, he sure could have done far better. Even Chretien eventually came out to the media denouncing such coalitions. Time to move on folks to more important matters at hand.

Another thing,  this merger talk is missing something; it assumes that Steve’s new stuffed shirt moving into Rideau Hall come September will accord a coalition. Since I’m convinced he sold his soul to the devil Steve for the perks that go along with that new job…

As for Nick Clegg’s statement regarding politics of the future, again, we have to stop comparing ourselves to the British. We are more like Americans than British culturally and mentally, generally speaking.  Also, it should be noted that the Cameron/Clegg honeymoon will more than likely end sooner rather than later.  Also worth noting, Clegg selling his soul to the devil isn’t paying off for him according to his plummeting polling numbers.
