Comments on: Oh Bob Fife, Are You Suggesting That You Get Paid Less Than Your CBC Counterparts? http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2013/05/01/oh-bob-fife-are-you-suggesting-that-you-get-paid-less-than-your-cbc-counterparts/ Center-left blog from Canadians across the country and beyond Mon, 16 Sep 2013 02:43:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: Rene http://sistersagesmusings.ca/2013/05/01/oh-bob-fife-are-you-suggesting-that-you-get-paid-less-than-your-cbc-counterparts/comment-page-1/#comment-14741 Rene Thu, 02 May 2013 22:58:21 +0000 http://sistersagesmusings.ca/?p=13592#comment-14741 To get an idea of how unhinged some of these Blogging Tories have become, consider the political trajectory of your former ideological sparring partner, Maria S of the Dodo Can Spell website. She still carries links to the Blogging Tories on her site, although she has apparently been dropped from their rolls and has linked up to the far right – sites like Canadian Immigration Report – which attack capitalism, Conservative immigration policy and what is deemed the inadequacy of Conservative policy in general, the temporary foreign worker program and the like from a far right perspective.

Dodo, still describing herself as a Conservative, links to extremists who seek to combine fear mongering over immigration and crime to anti-capitalist rhetoric over the greed of big business, such as the following from the CIR website:

“For decades, immigration has been sold to us as a moral obligation, a financial requirement and a natural inevitability by greedy corporations putting big profits before what’s best for Canadians.”

“Support for an aggressive immigration policy has been marketed to us like a product by interests who are unconcerned for Canada but devoted to their shareholders. Almost everyone bought in, and those who show reluctance are derided. However, this latest move from RBC is such a clear example of why immigration is evil and how its justification to Canadians has been nothing but a scheme to perpetuate the worst aspects of capitalism.”

“Writ large, immigration creates an unlimited source of consumers and a race to the bottom for wage-payers by importing an increasingly desperate population of job seekers.”

“Marx had it almost right: immigration is the reserve army of labour, and an equally inexhaustible contingent of consumerism.”

“It is important to be reminded that sentiments critical of immigration are not strictly right-wing. Big business right-wingers can never get enough immigration. Big business wants open borders.”

The Conservatives have their work cut out for them if such are the appetites of their more vocal right wing, veering into fascist sympathies for Le Pen and the Front National in France over proposed gay marriage legislation to panic mongering over muslim immigration to Canada. Dodo has even removed the disclaimer from her website claiming homophobes and bigots are not welcome – as judging by her current offerings they are the only ones who would be.

Though she still engages in Sarah Palin worship and refers to Obama as “the maddest President of the USA. A President who being a muslim thinks first as a muslim and then as an American”.

Commenting on the Boston massacre, Dodo informs us that ” Massachusetts is well known as one of the main Leftish states in the USA….. If only the Bostonians had refrained from pampering the Muslims there, maybe the tragedy of April 15, 2013 would have never come about.”

Dodo further informs us that ” York Region Police Services under the control of Muslims”.. are ….”blackmailing Canadian citizens using their own special brand of muslim tactics”.

In an April 30 piece entitled ” Muslim Crime Wave in Canada … Part XXXVIII” she advises us :

“All this crime from one segment of the immigration population and that segment is supposed to be less than 5% of Canada’s population. Can you dare imagine what it will be like in Canada when that percentage grows a bit more? Don’t forget to say a big THANK YOU to the Liberals as well as to the Conservative party. Jason Kenney, Minister of Immigration should share the blame along with the Liberals, as under his leadership the importation of muslims has not abated …. not one bit…. although he has become very adept at telling us how he has refined the immigration process. We conservatives should not point our fingers at just the Liberals for the failure of the immigration process, the Conservative govt. has been in charge for a long time now and what have they actually done other than to mouth off what they are doing but in reality not really doing ? Under their watch the Foreign Workers program and the import of muslim refugees have exploded to shameful scandals.”

As that is part 35 of an ongoing anti-muslim, anti-immigration rant coming from a self-described Conservative immigrant to Canada, I think we can spare your readers highlights from the other 34 parts.

Under an earlier piece submitted mid-April entitled ” Province of Alberta has the hots for Islam and Jihadists”, Dodo informs us :

” O Alberta …. what went wrong with your soul and love for country and Judeo-Christian values?? ***Sigh**** Now that even Alberta has opened its arms to the Trojan Horse, is there any hope for the rest of the country? The SUN network is the only network in the entire country forcing some sunlight into the darkened window panes of these establishments. Every other news outlet is asleep at the wheel of the bus making its way to the destined dive over the cliff. Will anybody mourn their demise?”

Curiously enough, Sun News Media is currently promoting as political entertainment and media event a Harper-friendly Alaskan loveboat ” freedom Cruise” with media “personalities” such as Ezra Levant, described in cruise literature as a “provocateur” and Wildrose leader Danielle Smith as hosts, exploring such themes as : “What happened to Alberta, and are conservative ideas safe anywhere in Canada?”

It appears Dodo is not alone in raising the alarm and voicing such concerns, and that the harper Reformacons are planning a strategic retreat behind the firewall of Alberta.

They are not quite sure whom to torment next, but BC Blue has the BC Conservatives fixed in his sights, and is championing the cause of one Mischa Popoff, former Conservative candidate apparently justifiably excluded as “kook” from a party of kooks and misfits, offering a video attack ad from Popoff directed towards the Conservatives in which a rambling political rant by a rodeo clown wannabe is constantly interrupted by “bestiality porn” antics with a bull.

They should forego politics and seek a career on the comedy club circuit….
