To a nation the MOST DANGEROUS thing a citizenry allowing a LIAR to lead them.
To a nation the MOST DANGEROUS thing a citizenry allowing a LIAR to lead them.
No one likes to be made of fool of. Some will deny they have been lied to and refused to learn. Some will claim their deception was justified. But when a deceiving scoffer is exposed and rebuked, the naive gain wisdom.
Don't BE SILENT, shoot the truth, FIGHT.
"Although we like to think of ourselves as living in a mature democracy, we live, instead,in something little better than a benign dictatorship, not under a strict one-party rule, but under a one-party-plus system beset by the factionalism, regionalism and cronyism that accompany any such system.", Our benign dictatorship by Stephen Harper and Tom Flanagan.
The Prime Minister of Canada CONTROLS the appointments of many key figures in Canada's system of governance, including the governor general, the Cabinet, justices of the Supreme Court, senators, heads of crown corporations, ambassadors to foreign countries, the provincial lieutenant governors, and approximately 3,100 other positions. The Prime Minister selects the Cabinet, controls and has predominant role in the majority of bills before parliament and in the leadership of the Canadian Forces.
With this CONTROL the Prime Minister of Canada is accountable to NO ONE.
Prime Minister able to deny threaded non-confidence votes, holding on to power.
Halting investigations into the Prime Minister's complicit support war crimes and other investigations / legal probes.
The decision to prorogue parliament must be parliamentary vote, proceeded by legal notice and 10 days of debate. The act of prorogue must not have the power to halt any investigations and/or legal probes.
Again to a nation the MOST DANGEROUS thing a citizenry trusting a LIAR to lead them.
This occurs through unchallenged LIES
The Government conducting political warfare, promoting the Government's political message through a publicly funded media center, what we expect of tyrants.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2007/10/15/media-pm.html of http://news.gc.ca.
Government does not have the moral right to restrict any scientists in Canada speaking directly to the public and the press.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v483/n7387/full/483006a.html
Government does not have the moral right to undermine scientific research which may or may not produce findings in opposition to policies of the Government.
http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/02/canadas-restrictions-on-scientis-1.html
" It's almost that there's no government science being discussed now in Canada"
Our government is proud of n 80% reduction in the discussion of science. I am NOT!
We are fools being LIED to when.
- when the message attacks the opponent rather than their message.
- when the controlled message / slogan is too simple to be informative and is repeated endlessly.
- when easy access to public science is controlled/restricted
- when panic and anxiety is used to demand submission
- when applies social and religious prejudices
- always claims to be the most popular opinion
- nationalization and oversimplification, you are with us or against us
- justified BIG LIE repeated so often as rewrite peoples memories of history and accepted truth

My birthday celerbration
My birthday
thank you everyone, I listened to Gothic music eating chocolate cheese cake.
And spent my birthday wondering what has happened to Canada.
Corruption is mismanagement
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canada-ranked-worst-of-g7-nations-in-fighting-bribery-corruption/article2032347/
The public's goal for a strong country is met by good management. Good management is minimize government corruption and incompetence to ensure efficient usage of public resources/funds and that that government decisions making is competent and accountable.
Politicians and Parties dedicated to maximizing accountability and minimizing corrupt
ion are good managers.
Clearly the Politicians and Parties who deceive and use Electoral Fraud to gain power will destroy this country we love.
"PM brushes aside calls for robocall judicial inquiry or royal commission"
http://www.vancouversun.com/touch/news/story.html?id=6296257
We must take to the streets. It is the only way to stop tyrants.
When authoritarian PRC, China created Article 23, "any speech arousing to take action could be regarded as illegal and it was a crime to hear such speech and fail to report" It was rushed through the Hong Kong Legislative Council. The July 1 celebration was protest with 500,000 people filled the streets.
Democracy matters, if we don't have Democracy, we have Tyranny
Today we are fighting for Democracy. Against deep corruption that destroys Democracy and Canada the country we love.
We take the torch from failing hands of our fathers who fought and gave their lives in the fight against Tyranny.
In their dying breath they made us promise to protect the liberty they fought for.
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The PMO has all the power in Canada.
http://youtu.be/pEsCPi-BOXA
The PMO has all the power in Canada.
Its his show and his show alone.
And on that point there is no debate!!
The house of commons is nothing more than a bad show, to make the people feel like they have a democracy. When the truth is we have an elected dictator.
http://www.hrsolidarity.net/mainfile.php/2000vol10no09/708/
Elected dictatorships are those where dictatorships cleverly masquerade as democracies. In elected dictatorships, regular elections are held, a docile and subservient press is maintained that purveys lies and fear to intimidate the voters to support the ruling elite. The ability to pull off this masquerade of pretending to be democratic makes elected dictatorships difficult to eliminate.
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/23458
Canadians are so fed up with smarmy politicians talking out of both sides of their mouths, ... Canada is in dire need of politicians who believe in government of, for and by the people, but we won’t get it so long as we allow our leaders to wield dictatorial powers
http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Parliament+become+irrelevant+under+Harper/5815682/story.html#ixzz1fsmFygYD
A better comparison to the Canadian situation might be Russia, where Vladimir Putin is able to act without concern for the formal role of institutions, although in Canada there are a series of extra-governmental actors
And we have watchdogs - the auditor general, the parliamentary budget officer and the like - but according to a count by Queen's University Professor Ned Franks, Harper has fired or forced out 10 watchdogs, which tends to cow the others.
The only way this near absolute power held by the PMO can be countered is by the Provinces taking a very strong stand, which may include exercising their sovereignty.
This is the power the Provinces have. It is a very important power which can be used.

Americans made two mistakes which squandered their advantage in Afghanistan.
Americans made two mistakes which squandered their advantage.
"People welcomed the Americans [because] they saw them as their liberators. There was no room for the Taliban to stage a comeback immediately."
"I think the Pakistani military... tolerated the Taliban and also helped them”
Hasan Askari Rizvi Defence analyst
By 2006, however, the Taliban had infiltrated large parts of the south - especially the provinces of Zabul, Kandahar and Helmand.
By 2008, they were spreading out north towards Kabul.
Brig Shah says the Americans made two mistakes which squandered their advantage.
"They focused on military objectives instead of stabilisation and development. And they soon went to fight a war of choice in Iraq, abandoning the war of necessity that had brought them to Afghanistan."
The lack of reconstruction, and rampant corruption among government officials at a time when millions of refugees were returning from Iran and Pakistan, led to widespread disenchantment and fuelled insurgency, he says.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-15132461>
Dick Cheney foolish defends the use of torture.
Terrorism feeds on misery, corruption and HATRED!
With reduced corruption the Afghan government would have been able to win many hearts and minds of the Afghan people and police itself. Reducing the world terrorism threat.
The decision to use torture and support the corruption of justice required to make torture possible has been a strategic blunder. Rebellion against the corruption within the Afghan Government gives the extremist terrorist more than enough support. We have wasted untold billions. We have wasted what was probably our only chance to bring lasting peace to Afghanistan and reduce the threat of terrorist who feed on the misery, corruption and hatred.
Torture is corruption of justice. The hatred created by torturing for information is beyond our comprehension.
Through the misery, corruption and hatred created through torture, Dick Cheney is a danger to all.

In Canada pre-election campaign advertisement spending is unregulated.
I bring to your attention the well documented findings of
Corruption and democracy: Political finances - conflicts of interest - lobbying - justice (2008)
Author(s) :
Alexander Seger, Drago Kos, Alvis Vilks, Ömer Faruk Gençkaya, Manuel Villoria Mendieta, Alan Doig, Siim Kallas, Rogier Chorus, William Dinan, David Miller, Pim Albers, Nihal Jayawickrama
ISBN 978-92-871-6355-4
In Canada pre-election campaign advertisement spending is unregulated. The removal of public political financing will only lead to greater political favoritism and corruption of the public trust.
The effects of unregulated political financing is summarized on page 34. I also highly recommend reading the whole document.
At the same time, unregulated political finances carry considerable risks
- they exacerbate political inequality. The principle of "one person, one vote" is compromised by unequal influence bought through contributions. Financial contributions create an uneven playing field where big money (often coming from the corporate sector) has an undue advantage. Interested money may override equal voting rights and equal access to decision makers and elected office;
- political money may buy access to office and access to decision makers. Those in a position to contribute have a greater chance to be heard by political decision makers. And those able to finance political parties and electoral "pre-election" campaigns have bigger chance to secure places on election lists of established by political parties;
- elections may represent less a competition of political positions and ideas and more the ability of political parties and candidates to raise funds, leading to an arms or propaganda race disconnected from political debate;
- political parties and politicians risk being co-opted to represent and pursue particular interests rather than the common public interest. They are more accountable to those who pay than to their constituency. This risk is particularly great if parties rely on a small number of donors only. Parties relying on private funding may have a weaker connection to their voters and are less connected to party members. Party leaders may transform contributions into political capital to secure control over their party;
- unregulated political finances are not transparent. It is thus impossible for voters to determine whose interests politicians are representing, and to hold them accountable.
