PM’s Lies Riles Liberals and I’d Hope, Canadians

Fresh from his smears at Liberal MP Navdeep Bains over his father-in-law, the boy Harper was emboldened yesterday in his slurs at two Montreal area women MPs. The slurs arose during debate over a move by the government to having political appointees on the panel that makes up the Immigrant and Refugee Board. A move that prompted the resignations of several members of the board this week.
The Liberal government moved away from political appointees during their time in office because of the patronage inherent in the process.
Harper rose in the commons to claim “We are putting in place a new selection system so we do not have what we had before — like the member for Westmount-Ville-Marie (Lucienne Robillard) appointing her former husband as a member of the board, like the husband of the member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce-Lachine (Marlene Jennings) as a member of the board,” He further stated “That is the mess we are cleaning up. That is the Liberal culture of entitlement and we are getting rid of it.”
Were either accusation true they would be serious ethics breaches. Neither accusation was even remotely true as Robillard’s ex-husband was appointed by Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1990 and Jennings husband was on the board in 1996 which was before Jennings was even elected to Parliament.
Harper and his band of bullies have been engaged in smears through fiction with just enough truth attached to make the unaware believe them, but this round, this is blatant lying. This is what wants to have a majority government? Are Canadians really crazy enough to elect the likes of this and give him a majority?
Over at the Woostock Ontario Independent News he comments:
Harper when in need, relies on bullshit fear and propaganda to enforce his view. He fits well into the
historical perspective of other failed leaders that Canada was built on fear, lies and coercion backed up ith violence.
…
Say no to bullying…say no to Harpers’ mindless CONservatives.
enough said.
