Free Dominion :: Home: "The NDP are just a different type of Liberal party waiting to happen -- less corrupt, more misguided. The trade-off is not attractive. Their idea of a role model is Svend Robinson -- 'nuff said.
The new year usually brings a mood of realistic appraisal and the hope for meaningful change. Those attitudes, so long as the national media don't manage to spin this election totally beyond recognition, should guarantee a steady rise for the CPC in the polls. Anything else would say very ominous things about the common sense of the electorate. I would go this far -- any riding, any community which supports the Liberals now will forever shame themselves before the nation. There is no excuse for anyone, not even Toronto, not even Halifax, not even Vancouver, to support this criminal conspiracy. Every Canadian citizen needs to take the time to think this over -- the political parties exist to serve the nation, and not the other way around. It's time for the voters to make this clear on January 23rd."

If you want to do something, copy this and send it to your local newspaper. Put your own name to it if you like, I am sure we all think roughly the same way about this election. If you live in a contested part of the electoral landscape, then it's particularly important to speak up and make sure the local voters understand that they should not take anything the Liberals say at face value, or seriously. They have lied so many times since 1993 that whatever they say now must be assumed to be a cynical lie, and if the truth were known, the only real objective of this party is to stay in power and divide the surplus among their support factions.
Some say, 'but the Liberals are good managers, and good for the economy.' This is also vastly inflated. The Liberals have been increasingly poor managers of large national projects. They have failed with their useless gun registry. They have diddled and fiddled on the actual agenda of clean air, hiding behind meaningless Kyoto promises. They have screwed up the softwood lumber file and now they are trying to run against George Bush who has almost nothing to do with it. They have named an obvious incompetent to be governor general. They have made corruption synonymous with their party name and our country's reputation. They have decimated the armed forces. And they have dumped a pile of bad legislation in our midst regarding same sex marriage and freedom of speech surrounding the issue. This is not good management. This is crazy government, out of control, really able to do two things only -- give away our money to their friends, and wave enormous Canadian flags and tell us this is why we should vote for them (they have these big flags, and ...)
Well my friends, it is going to take a lot more than a bunch of giant Canadian flags to get this country some decent government once again. A lot more, indeed. This is what it's going to take -- a Stephen Harper majority govern"

I hope to gain the attention of the Ontario (meaning national) media on this rather subtle point -- the Liberals are yesterday's bad news, and only a nation of complete idiots would vote for them again. I don't care how the Globe and Mail, the CBC and CTV spin this, I don't even think the Toronto Star has human employees at all so who knows how to reach them, but the fact remains that the Liberals must go if Canadian democracy is to mean anything at all.
This must be the theme of the campaign from January first to the last frozen day before election day. Forget 'the Liberal campaign,' because that is already as meaningless as the military orders given out by Herr Hitler in April, 1945. There is simply nothing that the Liberals can say or do that would have any credibility with an informed voter now. The challenge for the Conservatives, then, is to create an informed electorate. This election has to be placed into some kind of international or historical context. This is not just any old election, although perhaps the same dynamics applied in each of the last four elections. This is one of those very important and far-reaching decisions that, in this case, determines whether a nation has integrity or just a suicide complex.
Voting Liberal will be the same thing as committing national suicide. Those who still want to support this corrupt and destructive party must be made aware that their vote is not a vote for Canada, as Martin says, but a vote against Canada. This Liberal party has no right to claim ownership of anything but its crimes and its debts. And these are enormous.

Free Dominion :: Home: "Cutting to the chase -- Liberals must go
by Peter O'Donnell
It's natural for those of us who are self-condemned 'political junkies' to care about the minutiae of an election campaign. To some of us, every speech, every photo op, and every debating point, inflates to take on enormous significance, supposedly deciding the fate of nations.
Sometimes nations need to take a valium and get a grip on the facts. In this campaign, Paul Martin could give a speech of Churchillian proportions, some party insider could reveal a devastating insight about Harper or Layton, or some policy announcement could rock the very foundations of Ajax (Omo cleans whiter).
And to all that, this observer, who lives three hours behind the real world in a part of Canada where snow is but a vague rumour, would say the following:
This is the Liberal Party of Canada you're talking about. Ya know, those crooks who stole forty million (and that's just Gomery's estimate of one crime scene) and don't plan to pay more than 3 per cent back.
In other words, like most western Canadians, I don't care if the whole Liberal cabinet does cartwheels down the main street of Medicine Hat in scarlet red jump suits, they are still the party that vastly deserves a time out in the deepest, darkest depths of opposition.
I am not talking about a slap on the wrist, but a punch in the jaw. If it was sensible for the Canadian voters to reduce the 1993 Conservatives from 180 seats to 2, then an equal amount of common sense would put the entire Liberal caucus on Hans Island, wherever exactly that may be, where they can fight the armed forces of Denmark for the next five years, since they have such a new-found interest in national defence.
Think about it: the Liberals are so obviously corrupt that even the NDP has noticed and are running on that issue themselves.
