Calgary is the new Texas… yeeeehawww!!!

In what is thought as a predominantly liberal, left-leaning country, Canada has unfortunately been host to the evil skank Ann Coulter this week.  Surprisingly, but not surprisingly, her speaking engagement in Calgary was met with little protest and what seemingly played out as an endorsement.  It’s a sad occasion in a series of unsettling events that indicate that Canada may be leaning more towards the right.  In a day and age where Democrats south of the border are being ridiculed as socialists, Canadians are privy to a culture of nouveau right-wing Christian-led conservatism.  Luckily, Abstraction Reaction moved south just in time!!!

All candidates debate in Parkdale-High Park

Here are the candidates:

Andrew Borkowski Christian Heritage Party of Canada

Jilian Saweczko Conservative Party of Canada

Rob Rishchynski Green Party of Canada

Gerard Kennedy Liberal Party of Canada

Terry Parker Marijuana Party

Peggy Nash New Democratic Party of Canada (presently holds the seat)

What we saw:

Some highlights included –

The Christian Heritage Party of Canada candidate was funny and served as comic relief. He got booed heavily when he said that he does not believe that global warming is real and that it has served to make Al Gore rich.

The Green Party candidate was very succinct and he also knew the party policies. Very relatable and discussed not being part of partisan politics, referring to Nash and Kennedy. Green Party discussed tax strategies including  not taxing income up to $25,000.

Marijuana party candidate was a joke and funny.

A major theme of the night became the issue of how to help the environment and the economy – mainly taxing at the source, cap and trade or carbon tax.

NDP surprisingly were really strong on the issues of arctic sovereignty and stopping foreign takeovers. She spoke strongly on opposing the war in Afghanistan and how her party voted against the Afghanistan war extension twice.

Kennedy had to defend supporting the current government’s mandates in parliament and he discussed how him and his party plan on reversing the items they voted for if elected to a new government. He played the victim card and said that they had to juggle between bringing down the government and forcing an election or trying to work with what they had.

The Conservative candidate kept referring to the new child benefit and the GST cut as a way of decreasing poverty in cities. She also briefly discussed the Conservative green plan as a set of fines for large companies that have large carbon emissions.

When asked, the NDP candidate discussed the possibility of a coalition with any other party and the Liberal candidate shot the idea down.

Abstraction reaction observations:

Jilian Saweczko

– not a clear communicator but at least she showed up. Long winded and read from a script. Has a son in the service and did not say she wanted to pull the troops out of Afghanistan. Was pro-life but said that Harper would not open the issue. Hard to understand because of accent and lack of communication skills.

Peggy Nash

– clear, concise, affable, competent, engaging, a lot of applause, roars from the crowd, respectful to the other candidates, proficient, clearly stated her stance on every issue

Rob Rishchynski

– clear, concise, not as articulate but made key points

Gerard Kennedy

– smarmy, overly confident, not direct in his answers, blustery, came off very evangelical and grandiose, grabbed mic and walked about the stage as if in a church service, impatient with the organizers, visible flustered at times, was reprimanded by the moderator, rude

Stephen Harper Told a Lie Today

Green Party leader takes on Islamists

Elizabeth May, the Green Party of Canada leader, has had a change of faith.  She has turned to Islam in order to appeal to minority and immigrant voters.  After the election, she will return to her Hedonistic ways.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Introducing… Stephane Dion!!

Stephane Dion wants to use this week’s leadership debate to introduce himself to Canadians, claiming that “Canadians want to know me.”   Isn’t it a bit late?  The election is less than a month away.  I say we get ready for the next Liberal leadership race!

Where in the world is Rona Ambrose?

Sexy Hot Naked Left-wingers!!!

Another candidate for the NDP has dropped out of the election race for skinny dipping.  Two others quit last week because of a video showing them smoking pot.  Couldn’t the world use more weed and more naked bodies and less conservative numb-nut views?p.s. you should watch “Weeds“

Harper wears sexy vests, but is hard on criminals

We can’t criticize Harper on his recent stance on criminals, however, we can criticize his horrible leather vest outfit!!!  Trashy!CREDIT: Mikael Kjellstrom, The Calgary Herald

Harper likes to finger paint… but not with his finger

Jack Layton, leader of the NDP, has vowed to return funding to the arts in Canada.  The Stephen Harper “one man show” Conservative government has made $45 million in cuts to the arts.  They also have tried to push their right-wing agenda with films and made numerous cuts to Telefilm.  Harper has suggested that Canadian art is useless and unproductive, but to appease the crazy left-wing artists, he has offered up his own finger painting portraits and has developed an art class called “Art on a Budget: From Finger Painting to Paper Dolls” taught by Stockwell Day.

Do you want anything to do with Harper’s poll?

If we are to believe the recent polls, many Canadians still feel that the Conservatives should be running the country.  As an urban dweller, I find this astonishing.  I rarely meet somebody that supports those douche bags.  I find it concerning that the “left-wing” vote is split amongst the other parties.  Canadians, in general, are clearly left of center on the political spectrum. 

It’s all Gerard Kennedy’s fault

Stephane Dion is making promises of spending billions of dollars if he is elected Prime Minister.  The problem is that those dreams are so unrealistic right now.  The “team’s” goals now should be to avoid losing most of their seats.  Dion’s problems in the polls and with his leadership are not actually all his fault.  I blame Gerard Kennedy.  Back at the Liberal leadership race, Kennedy threw his support behind Dion and his followers followed.  Dion should not have been the leader of the party.  Kennedy will get his socks knocked off when he loses against NDP Peggy Nash in High Park-Parkdale.  The next leader of the Liberal party should be Michael Ignatieff. 

John Baird is a Dick

After watching John Baird on CTV’s Question Period this morning.  We have to say that John Baird is a dick!!! And he loves it too!

Does Harper Spend Election Money on Cheap Boos and Hos?

The Liberal Party of Canada is calling on an RCMP investigation into election spending by Harper those crazy Conservatives. Perhaps they will find receipts for cheap bourbon and Spitzer’s call girls! Those right-wing religious conservatives can really party you know.

B.C. Politician Caught in Chilli Wanks and Dirty Laundry

Reports that B.C. Solicitor General John Les has resigned over allegations he improperly benefited from a land deal while he was mayor of Chilliwack are surfacing.  It’s only a matter of time before a sex scandal breaks!

Quebeckers say they want Celine Dion not Stephane Dion!

Support for the Liberal Party is way down in La Belle Province!  In some areas, they are tied with or less popular than the NDP, which traditionally in Quebec, is a bit player.

Bob Rae sits on the bench…

Way Back Playback!!!!!

As Hillary Clinton makes a race for the White House, lest us not forget that Canada has had a female Prime Minister.  Although unelected, Kim Campbell took over the hot mess left over by Brian Mulroney.  Her party then lost party status, she gained weight and Mulroney has been caught up in scandal after scandal ever since.
