The socialist NDP rats hit bottom, keep digging.
This is the party that purports to be one of “caring” … and of intelligence and good ideas? What a bunch of attention-seeking alarmists 
and fear-mongers. And political dumb-dumbs.
Here’s a news release just posted on their web site:
Conservative changes will allow roadkill on your table: NDP
May 15, 2012OTTAWA – Proposed changes to Meat Inspection Regulations (MIR) will leave Canadians wondering if the meat they buy is actually safe, because of the Conservatives’ reckless cutting spree. Private inspectors, who may not be qualified, will now be able to inspect meat. Worse, these changes to meat inspection rules also change what meat is acceptable – meaning already-dead meat and crippled animals’ meat will be okay for processing for Canadians’ tables.
“First the Conservatives will let private inspectors monitor meat, and now they’re essentially allowing road kill-ready meat into the food supply,” said Malcolm Allen, NDP Critic for Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Even scarier is the fact that we won’t know how long animals have been dead before processing – or even that the meat will be inspected at all.”
I wonder if they feel “private” car manufacturing workers, home builders, food service workers, pharmaceutical and medical workers, and all other workers are also inherently inept (or shall I say “may not be qualified”?) on account of them not being state employees at a state-owned facility and members of one of Canada’s far-left political public service labor unions. Because apparently only state workers are acceptable to the NDP.
Anyway, Sun Media’s report about it used the word “overkill” in their report, earning it a mention here:
Expect roadkill to reach dinner table: NDP
By Mark Dunn, QMI Agency
OTTAWA – The NDP ratcheted up its overkill on government cuts Tuesday, suggesting changes to meat inspection mean Canadians can expect splattered squirrel, groundhogs and other crunched critters for dinner.
“First the Conservatives will let private inspectors monitor meat, and now they’re essentially allowing roadkill ready meat into the food supply,” said Malcolm Allen, the party’s meat and vegetable critic.
The NDP is concerned about what happens to animals on farms before the carcass is shipped to a federally inspected slaughter house. …
… “Only the NDP would stoop so low as to mislead Canadian families with hopes of gaining media attention,” [Agriculture Minister Gerry ] Ritz said.
People who put out this sort of lie – this tactic which is nefariously designed by jerks in the backroom (and then approved by its leader) to do nothing but scare the crap out of people in order to gain power – should be summarily ignored and treated by Canadians as, well, roadkill. These people show nothing but an utter contempt for the very people they purport to “care” about. They treat them Canadians as stupid. Naive. Gullible. Idiots. They treat us as roadkill on their precious highway to power.
Strident? Maybe, but I think these power-hungry jerks politicians who will do or say anything – including lying and fear-mongering and anything else at any cost to simply win political power… have by default relinquished their moral authority to ever win seats in elections. And to be taken seriously by anyone, including their enablers in the Canadian news media, who are ultimately responsible for anyone in this country even knowing who the hell the NDP are in the first place.
And I have even less respect for all these people than I did before. As you should.
And what’s with the folksy name-change for the NDP leader, socialist Frenchman Thomas Mulcair? It’s “Tom” now, is it? If the above is what you think of Canada’s citizens – that is, gullible, naive, idiots – I think your last name should be Tom Don’tcare. “Fighting for you” my butt roast.
Newsweek hits bottom of ditch, keeps digging.
I detect a child-like giddiness in the editorial room at the left-wing’s so-called news magazine Newsweek, and from their editor’s big office. Wait. They do still have grown-up editors over there, right? I’m not real sure.
Anyway I’m thinking the editorial discussion about this week’s cover, or at least the out loud thinking, went something like this: Hey groovers, Obama came out in favor of gay marriage. So, yay. We live for these moments. Not because we give a crap about gay marriage other than the fact the we’re ideologically “for it” on account of the fact that it seems to still be among the latest liberal-leftist things to glom onto, and it seems like the young cool cats still dig it, and because it’s another fantastic distraction away from Obama’s almost complete failures as president, but because this choice we’re making for our latest cover will just drive those conservatives a**holes and the “Christian right” simply mad. They will openly exhibit more of their hilarious moral outrage, and we liberals and progressives on the left will all have a great big laugh at their expense. (Hopefully nobody will notice how un-”inclusive” we all are, am I right?!) And all the other club members in the liberal media will hail us as heroes – not because we’re prepared to sacrifice the journalistic standards of Newsweek and journalism generally even more than we already have, but because ultimately, our brave choice will help the progressive cause, and in the process, Obama will come out looking like a saint to us liberals and progressives (we’ll craft is such that is does, with that Godly halo thing that all the idiots fall for!), and it may help him win back the rest of our voting block. And also, all the other idiots in the media will plaster our cover all over the place and raise our May newsstand sales for us!
And then after all that “thinking,” and “journalistic integrity,” they take a two-hour organic lunch break followed by a yoga break.
And each time they do one of these opinionated, overtly side-taking, troll-like covers (remember “WE ARE ALL SOCIALISTS NOW”?), I know that Newsweek has failed again. They make the wrong editorial and marketing choice, it backfires (or will backfire) on them at least over the long term, it makes all the liberal media look all the more stupid, partisan, divisive, in some cases petty, and as some of us would see it, literally drunk or high on crack while at work. Simply not taking their journalistic jobs seriously. Behaving like idiot children of idiotic, careless, rich liberal parents.
That’s mostly what I get out of their covers. Not the desired effect, huh Newsweek? But then we are all suckas now, aren’t we?
And the actual effect is that the magazine, among others like it which are already in the ditch, sinks deeper into it as a result of their constant digging.
In the latest Newsweek cover story, Andrew Sullivan, whose previous Newsweek cover story asked: “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb?” inserts himself into the news story and writes about his own visceral emotions as much as the actual news story about Obama’s decision. He was apparently so darn struck by the Obama’s big announcement, that he had to write about how he cried and cried. Because that’s hard news that we all need.
“…when I watched the interview [on ABC during which Obama made his announcement], the tears came flooding down. The moment reminded me of my own wedding day. I had figured it out in my head, but not my heart. And I was utterly unprepared for how psychologically transformative the moment would be. To have the president of the United States affirm my humanity—and the humanity of all gay Americans—was, unexpectedly, a watershed…”
– Andrew Sullivan in Newsweek
Oh dear. That is some pretty strong emotions for such a news story. Tears “flooding down” … “utterly unprepared” … “psychologically transformative” … “affirm my humanity” … “a watershed….”. All this while watching Obama on TV stutter through another fawning liberal media interview, saying he’s now suddenly “for” gay marriage? (And only to be decided at the state level, not Obama’s level, so like how awesomely courageous of the president, huh?!).
But then he let the tears roll again. This time for the cameras. This time on the far-left’s very own MSNBC’s Chris “I fee a chill up my leg when Obama speaks” Matthews’ show, which is aptly described as an Obama love-in and a conservative hate-on, so imagine my shock when they booked him as a guest.
Screen-grab of Andrew Sullivan and his husband, from MSNBC's Hard Ball with Chris Matthews.
And this from a guy who gives out his hyper-sarcastic annual “awards” for such things as the “Poseur Alert,” which is supposedly awarded for writings that stand out for their pretension, vanity and what Sullivan thinks is really bad writing designed to look like profundity. Not that he sees the hypocrisy, but awards for writing much like his own writing often is. See above. Oh “the humanity.”
But let’s wipe off our tears, shall we? Obama’s miraculously-timed, and oh-so “evolved” switch-up in…wait… his very core principles of life? Yup! – is actually little more than a wily, calculated political move, perhaps pushed into the public eye a little sooner than his own campaign team would have liked, by a bumbling, near-idiot of a Vice President, Joe Biden. But even Sullivan admits this “evolve” will help the campaign cash bundlers get more Obama-cash. So that’s not just a coinkidink. Still, he cried.
(Notice that whenever a liberal totally changes position on something to a more liberal position it’s called “evolved,” but when a conservative changes position it’s called a “flip-flop”? Just wondering. Because I think America does notice. But nice try, liberal media!)
Obama’s possible re-election might prove to be a little bit more than merely personally “psychologically transformative” for America and even the world. It might advance Obama’s stated mission to “fundamentally transform America.” And that’s watershed stuff.

Michael Coren: Canada’s NDP unfriendly to Israel
It was only fitting that Israeli president and elder statesman, Shimon Peres, should visit Canada and thank this country for its support of the Jewish state, and by extension its support for democracy and decency in the Middle East.
He had to be diplomatic, but I can be a little more direct.
While numerous Liberal leaders were far from being opposed to Israel, none of them possessed the visceral support and the genuine concern for the country we saw from Brian Mulroney, even Joe Clark, and especially Stephen Harper.
Contrary to what critics claim, Harper is not a Christian Zionist, and he doesn’t support Israel for the largely apocryphal Jewish vote. He simply believes — politically, morally, and emotionally — that Israel is the good guy in the region.
Opposition and NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, on the other hand, may personally support Israel, and certainly relies on Jewish support in his parliamentary riding, but he is increasingly a head without a body, a manager with a rebellious staff.
His problem is that not just some but almost all of the opposition to Israel today, some of it vehement and even violent, within Canadian politics comes from the left, the labour movement, Islamic radicals, student activists. And many of them are part of and increasingly influential within the NDP.
The phenomenon is not confined to Canada, of course. Other than a handful of far-right extremists and a few democratic conservatives well outside of the mainstream, the sole opposition to the Jewish state comes from the left.
In fact, for someone like Mulcair to claim the NDP is the natural and long-term friend of Israel is as insulting to Israelis as it is to the NDP membership.
The party’s voters may be indifferent about the issue, but its core support and its union backers boarded the anti-Zionist train long ago, and the steam and speed are increasing all the time.
The absurd Libby Davies took over the mantle of hysterical Svend Robinson in being super-prominent New Democrats horribly jaundiced on the Middle East. Ironically, both are homosexuals and while they would be given legal protection and social respect in Israel, they would be persecuted if not killed in most of her neighbours.
Then we have Ontario Federation of Labour boss and former NDP candidate Sid Ryan, whose criticism of Israel borders on the obsessive. Attend any NDP meeting, read NDP blogs, look at conference motions. Reality cries out to be heard here. This is a party sinking deeper into an irrational anti-Zionism, made all the muddier and darker by the influx of separatist MPs in orange clothing who are intimately connected to Quebec Islamic politics.
These people may be wrong and their ideas repugnant, but party leaders being dishonest about it is almost worse.
I can assure Mr. Mulcair that he is certainly no Shimon Peres, and also that the Israeli president has seen and knows enough to detect friends and perceive enemies. You’re one of the last people left in the pro-Israel room in the house of Canadian socialism, my friend, and pretty soon you’ll look around and find you’re talking to yourself.
Your comrades will be outside, screaming back.
Canada punches way above its weight in jobs-added compared to U.S.
This is not necessarily a sound economic comparison, but it’s interesting anyway.
Canada, which already has an unemployment number below that of the U.S., added 58,000 jobs in April. You’d expect the U.S., which has ten times the population and an economy more than ten times the size of Canada’s, and which, under Obama and the Democrats, has 
“invested” (scare quotes accompanied by a huge eye-roll) tons more taxpayer cash in corporate and crony labor union bailouts and so-called “stimulus” (snarf), to have created at least ten times that number – or 580,000 jobs. But that’s not what happened.
In the U.S.:
115,000 jobs added in April, less than expected…
DOW JONES/NEWSCORE
Last Updated: 10:11 AM, May 4, 2012WASHINGTON — US job growth slowed again in April, a fresh sign that the economy could be settling into a sluggish spring.
… A broader measure of unemployment — which includes job seekers as well as those stuck in part-time jobs — was unchanged at 14.5 percent.
And here’s a snippet from today’s news from Canada:
Canada added 58,000 jobs in April, StatsCan reports
CTVNews.ca Staff
Date: Fri. May. 11 2012 10:27 AM ETCanada saw an increase of 58,000 jobs in April, the second straight month of notable gains in the workforce, according to Statistics Canada.
…Following are some key points from the report:
- In April, construction employment rose by 25,000 jobs and were up 3.5 per cent from a year earlier;
- Manufacturing jobs were up by 24,000 in April, continuing an upward trend that began in December;
- Educational service jobs were up 17,000;
- Natural resources employment continued an upward trend that began last fall, and showed a robust increase of 12.5 per cent employment from a year earlier;
- Agricultural employment increased by 10,000 jobs in April;
- Employment in public administration dropped by 32,000 jobs.
Canada is led by a tepid Conservative government. They participated in the giant U.S. auto bailout of Chrysler and GM (Canada is a huge manufacturing center for the big-3 U.S. auto makers), even though President Obama claimed he saved the auto industry.
Question left-wing charities & their *political* activities. That’s more than fair. It’s the law.
Vivian Krause, a Vancouver researcher and writer (her blog is fair-questions.com; on Twitter, she’s @FairQuestions) has taken it up a notch after me and other conservatives dared to question some of the lobbying and “community organizing” and those questionable claims of pure altruism being made by some well-known charities and activist groups. By carefully researching and asking all the right, fair questions, Krause in particular has done great work bringing public attention (and even media attention!) to the often non-transparent, and sometimes questionable funding of all those typically left-wing political causes, where she lives in western Canada. I’m sure this goes on all over America too — and maybe all over the industrialized world.
Her latest must-read article is posted today at Financial Post. “Damage control: Green charities rewrite grant descriptions in wake of budget”. Note that Krause stays much more politically neutral than I and many of my like-minded conservative-advocating colleagues have done, much to her credit as an honest broker of apolitical research and information. So don’t read my added partisan politics into her research or her words.
Back in 2007, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly charted some of what he found to be the left-wing political activist and billionaire George Soros's connection to left-wing charities and activist causes like the Tides Foundation.
Krause has documented that lots of the funding of the Canadian activist groups, and sometimes most or even all of it, is quietly American — by some famous American “philanthropists” (as the media always call them) like the left-wing billionaire political activist George Soros, the Tides Foundation, and many of the other usual suspects including some of the big, well-known (and well-known to be liberal) foundations. It’s funding which, she has found, is largely political in nature, having a lot more to do with political science and a lot less to do with “environmental science” (which is usually their stated cause — or it’s “get out the vote,” which I personally always follow-up with “–wink!” since they really mean get out the left-wing vote; or it’s any of those other claptrap pseudo-causes of the left).
As I see it, it’s about left-wing political activism, and moreover, swinging the electorate — voters — even more leftward than the public school teachers have managed to do on their own with our tax dollars. Ultimately, it’s about engineering the voting to advance a left-wing political agenda. Cough. Socialism. Cough.
Lately the left-wing activists are coordinating their ever so altruistic “community” and “environmental” activism at killing the Keystone oil pipeline, and all other oil pipelines, and all of the valuable oil sands developments, and the thousands of jobs,and profits, that go with them. And, I think, getting people elected who will help them to that end (cough and finally to socialism cough.)
Trouble is, politics and “charities” don’t mix. At least the law says they don’t. And Canada’s Conservative government is beginning to crack down on it. Possibly about three decades late, and with what I have little doubt will turn out to be a Hollywood prop sponge hammer rather than one made of hardened steel, as is per usual in Canada.
Back in 2007, I wrote a piece in my old ProudToBeCanadian.ca blog, which included this photo (at left) of the huge diesel motor coach used by an environmental “charity” led by the enviro pseudo-God (as seen by leftists), David Suzuki. He traveled across the country preaching, among other things, to school kids in public schools about how bad the Conservative leader Stephen Harper was. Just before an election.
“I don’t believe there is a green bone in Harper’s body – he has never, ever indicated he cares about the environment,” Suzuki told the classroom, filled with students and their parents. “It’s up to your moms and dads to ensure your futures and livelihoods are part of the agenda,” he went on, to about 185 students ranging from kindergarten to Grade 6.
One need only look at the huge banner painted across the CO2-spewing Suzuki campaign bus (as I called it) to see that politics is at the heart of his matter. I wrote about it length, questioning the legality of the Suzuki “charity,” in a blog entry I entitled Suzuki violating Canada’s laws? Is he an environmentalist religion “war criminal”?
Now that lots more heat has been applied to Suzuki’s greenhouse gas CO2-spewing rear end, David Suzuki has finally just resigned from his own charity, because, he says, he wanted to be able to speak freely “without fear that my words will be deemed too political and harm the organization of which I am so proud.” Well that ship has sailed, Suzuki. Luckily for him, ships powered by sail don’t spew as much CO2 as all his decades of left-wing politically-tinged blather.
Other charities in Canada are now rushing to change the wording of their stated goals in Canada, to try to fend off the new, latent attention being paid to them and their American bag men, by the Canadian taxation authorities and their Nerf hammers. As Vivian Krause points out in her Financial Post article today:
…The Seattle-based Bullitt Foundation rewrote its description of a grant… Bullitt’s original grant was $30,000 paid to the U.S. Tides Foundation for Dogwood “to mobilize urban voters for a federal ban on coastal tankers.” The problem here is that American charitable foundations aren’t allowed to mobilize voters in a foreign country. The rewritten grant says that the money was “to engage and educate citizens.” That rewrite came in December of 2010, days after I testified to a House of Commons committee about U.S.-funded campaigns that would thwart Canadian oil exports to Asia.
The Dogwood Initiative redesigned its website earlier this year. In doing so, Dogwood eliminated the Web page that listed its partners and supporters. Internet archives show that over the years, Dogwood has reported that at least seven U.S. foundations have supported Dogwood. These include the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Wilburforce Foundation, the Brainerd Foundation, the Bullitt Foundation and the U.S. Tides Foundation. …
It’s compelling reading for all conservatives who are interested in where all that funding is coming from for all those “community organizer” groups, both in America and Canada. Hi Barack Obama.

Big Brother to Ban Tanning for Under-18? Bad Request.
Sometimes stories about the government (a.k.a. big brother, nanny-state, big sis, progressives, liberals, totalitarians…) meddling more and more into our lives and removing all semblance of personal responsibility such that we become totally reliant upon the state for our very existence, write themselves.
To wit: I swear I didn’t set this up. I simply clicked on the link.
Here’s the link:
And here’s the response after clicking it:
Exactly.
Swoon, media, Swoon. Simper. Fawn. Pump up that Trudeaupian liberalism & progressivism. Trudeaumania, again.
Maclean’s magazine’s latest cover: 
Cheap marketing move? Or serious journalism?
Here’s a hint: It’s a cheap-ass marketing move. See, I added “ass” for accuracy purposes. And here’s another hint: from a consumer’s standpoint, it’s a bit of an insult to my intelligence and indeed to serious journalism itself.
Then again, most of the liberal-luvin’ media is an insult to all of our intelligence, and to serious journalism itself. But they don’t care. All pretense of serious news journalism and its inherent objectivity went out the window years ago.
The Maclean’s brain trust, which is apparently dominated by aging liberals longing for the past (which means pre-Harper), and by 30 to 40-year-old Toronto marketers, know only too well how most people outside of Toronto and Quebec and some urban centers don’t take seriously the notion of Justin Trudeau as the leader of the increasingly progressive-left Liberal Party, much less as the prime minister of our country. So that’s a trollish statement to make on the cover. The fact that they felt the need to add “NO, SERIOUSLY!” in bold red, hints at that lack of seriousness. But you know, whatever. This is how “grassroots” movements start.
And this is apparently why Maclean’s is there. To take non-starters, and start ‘em up. Without them and the fabulous information services of the rest of the liberal-left Canadian news media – people like Justin Trudeau (and the NDP, and much of the increasingly progressive, leftist acculturation in this country) would simply be a non-starter, and we’d be back to the actual progress enabled by small government, lower taxes, capitalism, a free, free-market economy, and our usual conservative lives. And that won’t help them! They’re in the information business, see? Carefully selected information, carefully presented, to be sure, but information nonetheless. That’s partly how they justify getting government handouts for their weekly publication, I guess.
Moreover, they know how any talk of any Trudeau strikes a discordant tone in the hated west and suburbia and the ridiculous rural bits. Yummy, they say to that.
And therefore this week they chose to plaster this extreme close-up – and a carefully-chosen, wonderful one it is – of Justin Trudeau’s ever so handsome mug on their magazine cover (see above right). I wonder. Maybe they’re hoping more than the usual 40 people will notice Maclean’s at the checkout line at Safeway as organic groceries are placed into their hemp eco-bags, and boost their sales! Well let’s break the suspense: of course people will notice. Hemp bags, having to buy groceries with your own money, unlike health care which “the government” pays for; and a ha-yuge close-up of a new, fresh young Trudeau… quasi journalism and sales and liberal-left advocacy mission accomplished!
And they know how liberals and leftists across the land, in juxtaposition, love and admire (let me see if I can find some of the right nouns here) the brilliance – nay the genius – and of course what’s even more important, the warm and wonderful feelings and the emotions – the romanticism – (all of which is what it takes to “run a country,” am I right liberals?) of the wonderful, dreamy Pierre Trudeau years. Yes those wonderful years of government-growing, and the massive built-up of state-welfare programs and entitlements a-plenty in every pot – and for that matter, pot itself; the left-wing Utopia-building and growth of the progressive state. And growth of national debt which, by the way, not that it matters one whit to them, we are still burdened with today, and will be for the foreseeable future.
(A debt which, I note, thanks to a “Conservative” government so spendthrift today, is still growing. You’d think that sentence was an accidental non sequitur but due possibly to years of progressivism advanced by, oh, say, nearly all of the media, much of the country has cottoned onto the positive vibes of entitlement spending and various welfare, born and boosted during the memorable, progressive Trudeau years, but continued apace in all the years that have followed).
And those folks will not just notice this week’s Maclean’s, but will also buy the magazine.
No matter what consumers choose to do about the specter of Justin Trudeau’s extreme close-up mug glaring at them in the checkout line, even us marketing dumb-dumbs can suppose the proverbial bug will be nicely placed in the ear of romantic liberals the land over – people who have been carefully cultivated and nurtured and yes, “informed,” by a liberal media, and by a well-trained academia division, who seem to be teaching not just journalism students but also our young children to adopt a culture of progressivism.
And just try to remove that bug! Forget about it. Liberals have been sure to make it hard to irradiate this sort of bug, by banning pesticides, and by, for example, meddling in the erstwhile free market by making it a law that the state-owned, systemically left-wing, socialism-reliant CBC be mandatory on every cable and satellite providers’ basic services, while not doing the same for conservative-tolerant Sun News Network, and by treating the license application of Fox News Channel more harshly than AL-Jazeera, and by preventing Ann Coulter from even speaking in this country. Not that I’m suggesting this Trudeau/liberal, progressive-left advocacy thing at Maclean’s is just more of that kind of piling on by liberals. Nope.
Maclean’s knows Justin evolved (well half evolved, anyway) from his creator, Pierre the hated/loved, and is an even more yummy progressive and liberal-leftist than even his father was. So stick him on the cover. Pump it up. Then watch it work. That’s progressivism at work, by its useful idiots.
And of course this is another great time to reflect on my YouTube video which I made back in 2007.

State-owned CBC once AGAIN fails to crack top 30 in ratings …except for hockey games
As I’ve documented approximately 1,000 times, the state-owned CBC has once again failed to crack the top 30 in ratings. Except for its broadcast of hockey games, for which the taxpayer-funded government operation bought the broadcast rights by outbidding, using taxpayer dollars, competing private citizen-owned networks.
Statistics from BBM, April 16-22, 2012.
As the table also once again shows, despite the countless BILLIONS upon BILLIONS heaped upon the “arts” community including not only the state-owned CBC but also Canadian television writers and producers, none of the top shows are even Canadian, except for the CTV News. They’re American.
Which leads to another important feature which reoccurs in these charts virtually every time: CTV News dominates the news in Canada, with the Global network’s newscasts usually coming in second. No, not the state media’s newscasts. And now in Canada there’s Sun News, which has the potential to move up the ranks just as Fox News Channel completely took over the cable news ratings in the U.S., and became number one in ratings by far.
And once again there’s this: Whether we’re talking about the failure of the state-owned, taxpayer-funded CBC, or Canadian viewing habits in general, we can see that the various Canadian governments’ incessant push to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars to create a Canadian industry by way of constant government “stimulus” and sundry arts welfare programs and tax breaks is a mammoth blunder. And the almost Orwellian effort of the federal governments over the decades to engineer a “Canadian culture” by government decree – using taxpayer funding and government policy and regulation – is a disaster. And here again we can see where their meddling in the free-market economy as a general matter is yet another massive failure.
State-owned media should be banned in this country, and that notion should be enshrined in our constitution. And the government should stop meddling in the market; and stop trying to engineer a culture.

Canadians gave Conservatives double the $ of Libs, NDP, and more than both of them combined
In the first quarter of 2012, the Conservatives managed to maintain their lead in Canadian cash support, once again doubling that of either the Liberals or the NDP. This is not new – it’s been that way for years.
Of course the Liberals and the NDP have the full support of the public service union bosses, the news media, and state-run academia, all of which amounts to immeasurable support in kind.
The Conservatives took in about $5 million, the Liberals nearly $2.4 million, and $2 million went to the full-on socialists.
Left-wing think tank survey: Are you Female, Male, … or fill in the blank?!
CCPA sex selection includes FILL IN THE BLANK
The far-left think tank with the indicant name Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (where the unspoken “Alternative” is actually full-on socialism, kind of like Barack Obama’s promise of “fundamentally transforming America”), beckoned me in their latest newsletter to complete their survey, and this part caught my attention (see picture at right).
Apparently the “Alternative” they advocate isn’t just socialism.
