Crooked in Canada

Cops can be really dumb sometimes, and the cops that put David Roberts on a bus in Wawa, Ontario without patting him down first (it should be standard procedure if not common sense for cops in light of the Tim McLean murder on a Greyhound bus this past summer) are really dumb cops.

The fact that the cops had to accompany Roberts to ensure that he got on the Greyhound bus in the first place is reason enough to pat the stabbing suspect down, right? Obviously patting Roberts down never crossed their mind, which in light of what happened to young McLean in July, should have been the first thing they did before putting him on the bus.

For cops in towns, villages and cities along the Trans-Canada highway between Winnipeg and say North Bay, the McLean murder would still be fresh on their minds; at least you would think so given the exposure McLean’s brutal murder got.

The cops that put Roberts on the bus f**ked up big time and because of their f**k up, a twenty-year-old man has been stabbed by a man who was escorted to the bus by police. Funny, they had enough sense to search the suspect on two occasions, once before he was placed in a cell after he was taken into custody, the second time before taking him to hospital where he was to undergo a psychiatric assessment.

Apparently, so the police are claiming, they had no legal grounds to search him before putting him on the bus bound for Winnipeg. That is bullshit, he was still in their custody when they took him to the bus station where a bus ticket was purchased by social assistance, and they had every right to search the man, especially since he just left a hospital where as we all know, sharp instruments can be found all over the place.

The cops f**ked up and the stabbing victim should sue.

Jack Layton Shows Desperation, Wants To Form Coalition With Liberals

NDP Jack Layton used to be a Conservative. Thank God he isn’t one anymore.

In a desperate attempt of making his dream of calling the shots in Ottawa come true NDP leader Jack Layton has reached out to Stephane Dion and his fractured Liberal Party of Canada and all but begged the Liberals to allow the NDP to form a coalition government with them.

The prospect of the NDP and the Liberals forming a coalition is ridiculously hilarious, and Layton had to have been under the influence of cannabis when he came up with such a lame-brain attempt to retain what little influence the NDP has in Ottawa. The Liberals will have no part of such a deal, in fact they are probably laughing at Layton’s idea as much as I am.

I think Layton needs to focus on just winning some seats in this election instead of hoping upon hope the Liberals are going to let him and the NDP ride on their red coat tails to power. The other think Layton needs to worry about is the outcome for the NDP in this election in which for his party in my opinion anyway, is going to be extremely embarrassing and humiliating for the party.

The way I see it, the NDP are going to fare so badly in the election that Jack Layton, come this time next year, will be on a different career path much like the clown that leads the party he wants to form a coalition with.

Layton saying he is open to an NDP coalition with Liberals makes him sound like a party leader desperate to achieve something before he fades off into the sunset. Face it, he has done shit for Canadians and the NDP since he took over party reins, even he knows that.

Liberal Leader Releases Election Platform Two Weeks After Hitting Campaign Trail

The Liberal leader is bragging about how his party turned a huge deficit into eight years of surpluses, surpluses that for all intents and purposes for today’s blog entry was money in a budget that was never really spent, thus the term “surplus”.

I don’t know what purpose it serves the Liberal Party of reminding Canadians about what things were like while they were in office especially since the sponsorship scandal, a scandal in which Liberal bureaucrats stole from Canadian taxpayers under the watchful eye of the former Liberal government. Somebody needs to tell Dion that if his party expects to survive under his leadership, he should be looking to the future and not dwelling on the past.

Dion’s election platform by the way  is the same bullshit he here from them all the time by the way, only this time they have included this ridiculous Green Shift plan without telling Canadian voters the true effect it will have on their wallets. When it comes to the Liberal’s Green Shift plan remember this;

IF THE LIBERALS ARE GOING TO FINE AND TAX CARBON EMITTERS (MANUFACTURERS OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES THEY PROVIDE TO CONSUMERS) WHERE IN THE F***K DO CANADIAN VOTERS THINK THAT MONEY IS GOING TO COME FROM, OUT OF THEIR OVERFLOWING OR ALMOST EMPTY BANK ACCOUNT? No, it’s coming out of your pocket, and were not talking about a couple of dollars out of your monthly budget either. Everything will rise in price with this plan, and no amount of tax relief for consumers will take the bite out of those costs.

While the Green Shift plan may sound good in the battle to manage climate change, the bottom-line is that those companies that will be targeted in the scheme are not taxpayers, they are tax collectors. Carbon emitters don’t care one way or the other whether they are taxed or fined because they know they will be able to milk consumers for those extra costs some of them are saying will bury them.
