Harper Enemy of the State? Premiers must take Action

I always begin my posts on the Prime Minister by reminding the reader that Stephen Harper is a liar. No doubt that causes problems in our nation - not the least of which is setting a very bad example for young Canadians.

Now our "leader" is threatening our country. How? Well this man who sits atop the Canadian political heap is shovelling sh-t (figuratively speaking) and tossing it on the masses below.

Once again this ne'er-do-well is saying no to yet another First Ministers meeting.

Canada consists of provinces and territories and under confederation agree to a federal presence in areas of joint service delivery, national security, and to a certain degree matters of law. Under such terms provinces and territories agree to a federal taxation base provided by personal and corporate interests. Considering the monies raised to allow a country to exist are garnered from these sources - it is necessary and only reasonable that these parties are directly involved in the allocation of those funds.

Harper's insistence on running a one-man state and his determination to design Canada in his vision continues to jeopardize both the national economy and sovereignty. Make no mistake the international corporate giants do have his ear - while the electorate does not. This is a recipe for disaster. Harper's obvious desire to be a CEO should be achieved in private not public service.

The Premier's for their part are starting to wear some of the blame here. It is unacceptable to be ignored by the federal government and therefore the provinces and territories must take action to correct this problem. The whining of these individuals to the media has not and will not achieve regular meetings with Harper.

As Quebeckers go to the polls my instinct tells me that this is a real problem for Charest and will become a bigger problem as the dog days of summer continue to the fall. This in turn may cause additional and constitutional problems as we head into the winter of our discontent.

The people of Canada elect their respective provincial governments and they fully expect these politicians to represent their interests in the federation. If they fail in doing so - the people look to the media for proper questioning of the situation. I cannot think of anything more important in Canada right now than the state of communication, collaboration, and cooperation between the PMO and the Premier's. This means a first Ministers meeting must occur at least on an annual basis.

Currently the aloof Harper is winning the battle without having to raise a sword. This is not acceptable.

The Premiers, media, and federal MPs have the responsibility to deal with this situation or run the risk that Harper's spoiled honey will stick to them.

Bullying Works and Bullying is Rewarded - Right Premier?

The attitude of the Dunderdale administration is progressively getting worse. The underlying message is "we have the power" and apparently they will abuse it.

When we speak of bullies - we think of somebody who might be physically imposing or somebody who surrounds him/herself with goon-like followers. When we speak of bullies we think of people who abuse their perceived power by forcing people to accept their point of view or actions.

Bully is (noun): A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker.
Bullying is (verb):  Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.

Darin King continues to maintain his actions toward the FFAW. It is bullying - and he is a bully.
Kathy Dunderdale and Jerome Kennedy continue to force the Emera deal on Muskrat Falls down our throats - by bullying people who speak up against it.

Look at Stephen Harper - a bully and a liar - he also is the Prime Minister.

If our society accepts this continued behavior by our elected public servants - we cannot feign shock at the actions of children when bullying one another.

By accepting the unacceptable behavior of our politicians - we say to our children - bully bully and bully some more. If your child follows the lead of these politicians - they can expect that they may be elected, rise to the position of Cabinet Minister and may even become Premier.

By permitting our politicians to act this way - and in fact rewarding them with re-election - the message is clear for bullies - keep it up - you too can rise to the top.

Suffer the Little Children - I'm waiting to hear Steve Kent's Voice

Last week we all watched the Fifth Estate do an expose on the Boy Scouts of America and Canada.

So when is enough - enough?

When do we start protecting the children and not the perpetrators of child abuse?

How many human beings must we sacrifice for religious and social organizations while attracting and then protecting even more pedophiles?

What does it take? 

The Fifth Estate reporter could not even get straight answers from the current CEO of Scouts Canada - further exasperating these worst of crimes. 

Now we are going to witness victims of these horrific deeds of twisted men - hide them in order that they may speak of what happened to them. 

There is absolutely no way that any victim should have to sign papers saying they will never speak if they accept a monetary settlement. Then again why would the Boy Scouts of Canada or the USA ever require victims to do this? 

Why would the churches require the same thing?

Are we now so desensitized that these continued abuses of children are not worth fighting to stop? 

These organizations should be charged with crimes against humanity. I am serious! What crime could be worse and how many victims would make them qualify? 

Here's the deal, many leaders of organizations religious and others have been raping children for decades. The response has been to protect and hide the perpetrators - let them loose to abuse even more children, force the victims into silence, and then forget about them as they continue to attract more children and pedophiles. 

Today the talk shows should be blocked with people demanding the truth - demanding that this stop and promising to stop financially and otherwise supporting organizations that allow the perpetual abuse of children. 

What is wrong with us? We think we are civilized? The Prime Minister of Canada concentrates on a long-gun registry while pedophiles are being protected by the "moral" groups. 

Politicians routinely lie these days and that is so successful we elect them to be Prime Ministers and Premiers. 

Just think about the message we are transmitting. These corporate crooks that essentially bankrupt countries were kept on and given a raise - while people lost their jobs, homes, and families. 

Right now I would like to hear MHA Steve Kent answer the questions for the Fifth Estate. As the 

Chair of the Board & Chief Commissioner for that organization - I want to know where he stands on giving the public the information it wants. 

Enough is enough and we have far exceeded the tolerance we should have shown. We condemn somebody for shoplifting or selling some weed. We condemn those who have incorrectly placed a fence post on our property. We condemn children who spray paint property. We condemn children who break a window or two. 

Makes you wonder really - what have we become?
