Canadian Women's Favourite Pick-up Line

Clever. And funny. Watch the video and find out what is the favourite pick-up line of Canadian women and why it's being re-posted on a political blog.

And they came out with it before this went public.

What's at stake - The Hard Hitting Liberal Ad

The ad that has the Conservatives freaking out, whining all over the place, showing they can dish it but can't take it.

Another quick response video from Enoughharper, this one in response to yesterday's leak of the incredibly damaging Auditor General's report which validates everything the Liberals have been saying about the Conservatives and their spending, accountability, partisan use of taxpayer dollars, contempt of Parliament.

The only surprising thing was that the Auditor General went even further in her rebuke than the Liberals have by suggesting possible illegal activity.

Breaking up with Stephen Harper

Millions of Canadian women are doing it. And so should you!

Mildly funny and certainly clever. Make your own "break up with Stephen Harper" video and send it in.

"Tory Times are Tough Times"

Let us reminisce, shall we, on some of the great contributions of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to our democracy and to accountable, responsible government.

"Imagine Harper"

The Conservatives violated copyright laws in posting Harper's singing of Imagine by John Lennon and so it has been yanked from youtube.

This video is inspired by that, by the prospects of a Harper majority and "imagining" what that would mean to Canada and Canadians.

The irony of course is that Harper loves the Beatles and hates Trudeau while Lennon loved Trudeau and would without a doubt hate Harper.

I love the use of Harper's falsetto, interjected into the video.

Enjoy.

Stop the Facebook Creeping, Mr. Harper - With Video

I like this Liberal war room. Quick, sharp, setting the agenda, even having the confidence to use humour. They are smacking the Conservatives around like hockey pucks.

This is a great rapid response to a very serious issue of the Conservatives spying "Facebook creeping" on ordinary Canadians, banning students and veterans who have properly registered (registering to see the PM? WTF is that?) and are not causing a disturbance (yet another banned Canadian - the 6th? - came forward today). More on that here, but here is the latest video from LiberalVideo:

"This campaign trail sure is bumpy."

"This campaign trail sure is bumpy."

So far this week:

- banning a veterans advocate from hearing Harper speak

- spying on and kicking out students because of their Facebook page (I'm sure it had nothing to do with their Middle Eastern sounding names)

- spying on and kicking out a student because of his bumper sticker

- kicking out students because they attended a non-partisan pro-student pro-vote rally (I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Middle Eastern sounding name of one of them)

- knowing what bumper sticker you have on your car and what's on your Facebook page, and then claiming you didn't know you had a criminal fraudster as one of your closest advisors

- only allowing 4 questions to the national media

- not allowing any questions to ordinary Canadians

- Liberal signs being "targeted" and vandalized

- actively trying to block a government report on G20 police actions

- actively trying to block a government report on detainee torture allegations

- berating a local volunteer, a veteran no less, for even mentioning where Harper was going to be that day

Yup, it's a bumpy campaign trail alright.

And this is all in the last two or so days.

WTF is going on here? This is connecting to Canadians? This is how you apply for a job? This is Harper's version of open, accountable and transparent government? This is Harper's democracy.

"You people"?

Specifically targetting certain (not all) ethnic groups has its risks. But I suppose the idea is that they have commonalities with your social conservative agenda, right?

So is referring to them as "you people" enhancing that sense of commonality or making them feel more alienated and not one of "us"? If Harper isn't sure, he can always ask Ross Perot or the NAACP. Or Robert Downey Jr.:



Since this came from Harper himself, RevMod is giving this the maximum "prominence" gaffe score.

A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian.

EnoughHarper - What Else is He Hiding?

What else is the Government of Canada The Harper Government^TM and its scandal-a-day operations hiding?

"Demand Better." In his own words.

Brilliant.

The Liberals could run a whole campaign just using Harper's own words on accountability or even their own ads from the 2006 election.

Bev Oda's Resignation Letter { not } Leaked!!!

This astonishing letter was leaked to me by an anonymous "friend" who is an "advisor", "conservative" (when it comes to playing defence in hockey) and is regretfully considered "senior" by some (and therefore a "senior conservative advisor who wishes to remain anonymous" in media parlance).



Sure seems pretty genuine to me!

Stephen Harper... < insert "NOT" here >...

According to the Conservative Party, doctoring a government document by inserting the word "NOT" after it has been signed so that it means the opposite of what was intended and recommended is entirely "routine".

Right.

Some might wonder about the forgery offences in the Criminal Code of Canada, but not this "law and order" party. Once again, folks, Conservative principles don't apply to Conservatives. Or apparently, maybe, Bev Oda's ministerial powers to manipulate words allows her to insert the word "NOT" into criminal laws as well?

But taking inspiration from Ms Oda's odious act, as well as the KAIROS is "NOT" going away t-shirts and this creation, where else can we go?

NOT - Standing Up For Canada



NOT - Honest



NOT - Accountable



NOT - A Leader



NOT - Fiscally Responsible



Let me know if you want the code for those labels and I'll send it to you.

Stephen Harper: "We need to raise taxes"

Stephen Harper: "We need to raise taxes."



Quite the little tax cutter we have in Stephen Harper. Let's see the record:

raised income taxes in his first month in office

taxed income trusts in his first year despite his explicit promise not to, causing seniors and investors to lose millions and millions, including life savings

added a job killing payroll tax increase

added an air tax that Harper had promised to eliminate because it was "crippling the industry"

Harper Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty, the one who said a GST cut was a pretty dumb idea, said he "would never presume to say never to a tax increase".

Stephen Harper: "We need to raise taxes."

All this from a guy who said he would never increase taxes. Is there anything Harper says that you can trust or believe?

How Harper Manipulates the News

A slightly long but good selection of examples of some of the lengths Stephen Harper has gone in shielding himself and his government from media scrutiny:



So much for accountability. This from the party that relies far more heavily on taxpayer dollars and gets a share of political subsidies far in excess of its democratic support.

This video is from Emily Dee, the woman behind "The Army of Us" campaign and "Pushed to the Left and Loving It" blog. As the video notes at the end:

"We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home."
Is this really your Canada?
Are you tired of living under a news blackout?
Join the Army of Us's
The We's
The 2/3 of Canadians who did not vote for this government
And are sharing the stories the media is not allowed to share
It won't cost you a dime
Just your voice and your vote
Are you in?

And Harper's PMO media army that is replacing public media access to our government, does not come cheap. Not only has the PMO budget increased by over 30% over the last two years while he talks about the need for spending restraint and tells the rest of us to save, not only does he spend a record $140 million on advertising during a recession as the deficit exploded (with nearly 100 million taxpayer dollars just on the self-promoting "Economic Action Plan" ads), not only does the PMO spend nearly $1 million alone on merely distributing its press releases, but Harper is he spending millions of taxpayer dollars just to monitor the media.

Lawless Government

This is making the rounds and well worth watching... and archiving at Liberal Video Depot for posterity (and for anyone who is trying to find it later on, like during an election!). If you have a good video, send it to me.
