Grit Attack Ads On Harp Fall Flat

“”SOLDIER 'DISGUSTED'
"I've been a proud Canadian soldier for six years. I've served my country in war zones overseas. I'm proud to wear the uniform of my nation. My grandfather was wounded overseas in the Second World War and when he came home he was proud to walk the streets in his uniform.
"The Liberal ad against Stephen Harper making us Canadian soldiers look like killers or criminals that the public has to be afraid of disgusted me. Every Canadian soldier, Mr. McRae, signs up knowing that one day he might have to die for his country. It wasn't just an attack against Mr. Harper, it was an attack against him by depicting our soldiers as enemies of Canada who shouldn't be loose on the streets running around with their weapons.
"Worse, it wasn't even what Mr. Harper said. The Liberals misrepresented what he said to make him a madman. No soldier in his right mind will vote for the Liberals. I look at how they've treated us over the years. Like many of my fellow soldiers I've talked to about the ad, we feel we've been betrayed. Who are the real traitors of Canada? Not our soldiers, Mr. McRae -- the Liberals."”
Now there is some “Classic” propaganda for ya!
Correct me if I’m wrong, and I’m sure you will-- But if martial law was to be declared, as was done with
Trudeau during the FLQ October crisis was not the military called out?
Soldiers take orders! Period!

MADMAN ON THE LOOSE...............how the truth comes out from a wanna be dictator

Atlantic Canada's culture of defeat will be hard to overcome as long as Atlantic Canada is actually physically trailing the rest of the country.
Stephen Harper

But I've been very clear in this campaign - I don't believe the party should have a position on abortion.
Stephen Harper

Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack o-n our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.
Stephen Harper

I don't know all the facts o-n Iraq, but I think we should work closely with the Americans.
Stephen Harper


If Ottawa giveth, then Ottawa can taketh away.
Stephen Harper

On the justification for the war, it wasn't related to finding any particular weapon of mass destruction.
Stephen Harper

In my judgment Canada will eventually join with the allied coalition if war o-n Iraq comes to pass.
Stephen Harper

Toryism has the historical context of hierarchy and elitism and is a different kind of political philosophy. It's not my favourite term, but we're probably stuck with it.
Stephen Harper


Canada is a Northern European welfare state in
the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it. Canadians make no
connection between the fact that they are a Northern European welfare state
and the fact that we have very low economic growth, a standard of living
substantially lower than yours, a massive brain drain of young
professionals to your country, and double the unemployment rate of the
United States.
Stephen Harper

In terms of the unemployed, of which we have over a million-and-a-half,
don't feel particularly bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad
about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social
assistance and unemployment insurance.
Stephen Harper

But the important point is that Canada is not a bilingual country. It is a
country with two languages. And there is a big difference.

is by far our largest labour group, and explicitly radical.

<<Atlantic Canada's culture of defeat will be hard to overcome as long as Atlantic Canada is actually physically trailing the rest of the country.
Stephen Harper>>


Very true!

<<But I've been very clear in this campaign - I don't believe the party should have a position on abortion.
Stephen Harper>>

Funny I don't see any quotes there. Prob out of context. Fact is 35 lib, 1 NDP and ind agree with Harper's personal position on abortion. Nevertheless the party agreed in Montreal not to include this in their platform.

<<Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack o-n our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.
Stephen Harper>>

Another unquoted undated missive....I do agree that the Human Rights tribunal rulings on pay equity have been totalitarian though.

<<I don't know all the facts o-n Iraq, but I think we should work closely with the Americans.
Stephen Harper>>

Again no quotes, no context and no date. Did you just paste these from John Duffy's blog?

In fact, I want to be very clear that in fact Mr. Martin held this same position for a short while as did his Mins Pratt and Alcock. And let me be very, very clear that is the kind of Canada they wanted to build and the type of Canadian values they held. blah blah blah. Oh yeah, and of course to "work closely" is exactly what we demanded of Bush when we had the gaul to lobby him for a share of post war clean up contracts - even though we didn't do any of the heavy lifting to end Saddam's reign.


<<If Ottawa giveth, then Ottawa can taketh away.
Stephen Harper>>

Wow I am literally crapping my pants!

<<On the justification for the war, it wasn't related to finding any particular weapon of mass destruction.
Stephen Harper>>

This statement has been edited for our viewing audience.

<<In my judgment Canada will eventually join with the allied coalition if war o-n Iraq comes to pass.
Stephen Harper>>

And so was the judgement of many Liberals. But since the UN makes our foreign policy and Koffi's family along with several French, German, and Russians were knee deep in the oil for food scam, we were not there. Also, Charest had an election to win in QC. A province that was opposed to fighting Hitler.

<<Toryism has the historical context of hierarchy and elitism and is a different kind of political philosophy. It's not my favourite term, but we're probably stuck with it.
Stephen Harper>>

Well he was a founder of the original Reform movement. Why does this surprise you?


<<Canada...has a standard of living
substantially lower than yours, a massive brain drain of young professionals to your country, and double the unemployment rate of the United States.

True.

<<In terms of the unemployed, of which we have over a million-and-a-half, don't feel particularly bad for many of these people. They don't feel bad about it themselves, as long as they're receiving generous social assistance and unemployment insurance.
Stephen Harper>>

Well our unemployed aren't exactly wandering the streets begging for food are they? Help wanted signs exist in every service industry and Alberta is desperate for trades and all sectors. Suck it up and go to work. Too bad Harper won't be able to speak so frankly anymore.

<<Canadian Labour Congress, which is by far our largest labour group, and explicitly radical.
Stephen Harper>>

True

Liberal fear-mongering is getting a little tiresome for the people who can actually think for themselves - unlike their core constituency which believes in constant fear, fearful Liberals voters are so much easier to control. That's exactly the kind of Canada the Liberals want - fearful.

That is exactly correct.

what makes you think that this was posted because of Liberals, i see the quotes and they are true by the way, all one has to do is type in search engine " Harper Quotes ", they are there by the looks of it to emphasizise, that Harper is a liar, and will betray the canadian people, and if you have any thinking, in your self, you will realize Harper is not canadian, but a amrican lackie for the Neo-Cons, and yes i would be and am fearful of Harper, if he had his way, Canada would be in debt to the tune of billions because he wanted to help americans invade Iraq, not to mention hundreds of dead canadian troops for what, Corperate world, BEWARE OF COWARD WARMOGERS WHO PREACH WAR, when they themselves scarifice nothing

as for Liberals, they are the slow version of Harper and have betrayed the canadian people already, with Bill C-36....but hey, what can one say of some of those on this chat board who can not see beyond their own greed and stupidity....vote Liberal, you lose, ...vote Conservative...you lose.......

Harper looks like a Bush-Worshipping Neo-Con, concealing
his insane right-wing WACKO candidates (cockroaches),
until he can get the reigns of power and turn Canada
into the 51st state.

"You Republicans are a light of inspiration for
Canadians....Canada is a 3rd rate socialist welfare
state...We should join Bush in his Iraq war, we
should stand shoulder to shoulder with him..."

It's not scare tactics, it's the TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!
He is an ANTI-CANADIAN Neo-Con BUSH-LOVER.An absolute
right-wing WACKO.

“At the end of the day, its forward elements stood deeper into France than those of any other division. The opposition the Canadians faced was stronger than that of any other beach save Omaha. That was an accomplishment in which the whole nation could take considerable pride.”<br />

It was Trudeau who took those who carried on from the above and brought them to a stage in the average Canadian's life where our military is tucked away, out of sight, an embarassement, and it's members very nearly a "freak" show when they wear their uniforms on our streets. Then, it was ALL of Trudeau's successors who insisted on kicking our soldiers while they were down and out, in the same manner of cowards and bullies, and that includes both conservatives and liberals. Yet those cowards and bullies (our "esteemed" leaders) are the first to demand the military do somethiing if an average Canadian so much as sneezes in the direction of our political leaders (apprehended insurrection, anyone?)<br />
<br />
As much as we, nearly all of us except business and industry, would like to have peace in this wrold,it ain't gonna happen anytme soon. So let's bring our military out of storage, and post them proudly throughout Canada. Then let's institute a draft to get the 16 year old punks off the streets, and let them serve for a couple of years.<br />
<br />
But I am not voting Conservative, because that should be in the platform of ALL our political parties.<p>---<br>RickW

What prime minister or president ever gets involved directly in war , they sit behind their desks and push people`s buttons , and talk a lot of bullshit . It all has to do with the ole mighty buck . Poor Harper nothing he is a lying ass , same as the rest of them .

What is sad is the politican could give a rats ass about soldiers , it is a small majority of the citizens in this country who feel for you and respect everything you stand for . There is still some people who believe in you . Those politicans will use you soldiers as pons always. They don`t care what you medical condition is when you come back from war or what neurological disorder you might have from chemical warfare, they just fill their fat assed wallets , and turn the other cheek.

Former communist Trudeau, was also the only PM to suspend rights while Canada was not at war. Then, a few years later he passed a charter of rights prohibiting any other PM from doing the same, (except for Sec 33 which the provinces forced on him). So troops, with guns, in our cities, Canadian cities, was a "Liberal value". Harper seems like a dove by comparison.

As for the rest of the comments...I tune out as soon as anyone uses meaningless buzz words like "neo-con". Apparently so is the rest of the country. The Liberal fear campaign, part-deux, is failing/failed. At long last the gang running Ottawa (hopefully) will be run out of town.

I'm confused,

That sounds pretty much like what's happened the past few years in the U.S., re: Muslims under the bed and that type of thing.

I thought Harper and company were the ones that wanted Canada 'closer' to the U.S.

Now you're saying it's Martin?

Boy, this political stuff can sure turn your head around.

That makes no sense whatsoever. The Earth rotates eastward, so Atlantic Canada physically 'leads' the rest of Canada.
