When "Boo" Sends A Powerful Message

Posted on Tuesday, August 15 at 10:16 by 4Canada
But something quite extraordinary happened in Montreal's Olympic Stadium during the dazzling musical celebration to kick off the OutGames. Prime Minister Stephen Harper sent his top Montreal representative, Michael Fortier, to deliver greetings from the Canadian government. Fortier, a former Conservative campaign organizer who did not run as a candidate in the last federal election, was nonetheless appointed a Senator by Harper, then named a Cabinet Minister. Until Fortier's appearance on the stage for the OutGames opening ceremony, the federal government had been conspicuously absent from the entire human rights conference. http://www.rabble.ca/news_full_story.shtml?sh_itm=b491ed2ca9982cbf590dd2198dfc7d4a&rXn=1&;

    The Con Men and their Draconian policies...didn't take long for Canadians to realize that these guys just want to screw over the majority of Canucks to implement their whacko agenda. What else do you expect from a bunch of Evangelical Christian nutjobs?

    PS: The article failed to mention the 40,000 seats that were being slammed loudly as Harper's scrub backup took the stage.

    This also explains why the PM was too much of a pussy to show up at the TO AIDS conference. Running away and hiding from your leadership responsibilities (because you're afraid to get booed) is not how you effectively govern a G8 country.

    If this guy was a general and we relied on him to lead us into a war, he'd probably dessert and eventually be found hiding out in an igloo in the arctic. Hope he knows how to ice fish.

    "We can only hope. Perhaps the Stadium boo-ing is a political barometer, telling Harper's Conservatives to expect cold showers in the next election."

    Harper "won" the last election despite 77% of the elligible vote going elsewhere, so what does he care when the so-called opposition is in bed with his government and just as low in the polls. It won't matter come next election which theoretical party "wins" since they're all a pack of incestuous freaks anyway.

    The only thing they'll answer to is real civil unrest that hits the pocket books of the governments handlers, or if a real alternative party gets some big numbers. Even 25% of the elligible vote is enough to kick ass these days.

    Correct - elections are just one big scam. They are just held to make people believe they actually have a say in what "their" government is doing. Regardeless of which party wins, the gameplan remains the same, more or less.

    The Ancient Greeks developed today's form of "democracy" and they had slaves doing their dirty work. Go figure.

    Who really cares, about grown men and women. Dressing up and prancing around. I get to see that downtown every year. Now adays if your White, Straight, and Christian your dirt. Maybe we should have a Straight Games. You know how far that would go. As far as making the last page in the paper, and the last thing on the news after the Sports and Weather.
