The dirty Conservatives are once again emulating their Neo-Conservative masters from the U.S.A. with their announcement that they intend to waste more money on Negative Ads. Unable to say anything good about themselves or their plans for Canada - they'd rather that be kept a secret - they use negative ads to detract from their competitors. Typical avoidance of the truth they so fear - with their dark, superstitious minds- using fear, lies and shame (they love that). Remember that they do not have the ability to use negative ads when an election is called due to budget restrictions, so they do all the damage they can with it now.

OTTAWA (CP) - The Conservatives released new French-language ads Tuesday aimed at Stephane Dion, using parody to criticize the Liberal leader.

And just as they did last month with their English attack ads, the Conservatives explained their targeting of Dion - with no federal election in sight - as a pre-emptive strike.

"Mr. Dion said that he's ready to go into an election and this is a minority government," said Industry Minister Maxime Bernier. "Mr. Dion wants an election no one else wants and we want people to be ready."

 

Luc Dupont, a political communications expert at the University of Ottawa, said the Conservatives are attacking Dion now so the Liberals will think twice about any attempt to bring down the government.

But Liberal MP Michael Ignatieff said the ads wouldn't be a factor in any decision to force an election.

"We aren't afraid," he said, adding that it's the Conservatives who are "running scared."

 

Dion said the Liberals won't be running any negative ads of their own.

"We're already answering back," he said. "We're answering with policies that are good for the people.

"If the government doesn't want an election, why these negative ads now? Why are they spending this money?"

The three new ads, to be broadcast in Quebec starting Wednesday, focus on Dion's environmental record, the sponsorship scandal and his stance on the fiscal imbalance.

They feature goofy-looking animated cutouts of Dion, game show-style announcers and clever turns of phrase that poke fun at the leader's purported connections to the sponsorship scandal.

Dupont said he thought some of the ads would backfire.

"The danger in this case is that you can step over the line when you use humour and I think that's what they've done here," he said.

"The key is to make sure the caricatures (of Dion) don't get in the way of the message they want to put out, and they haven't done that," he said.

But Dupont said the general idea of using humour and symbolism to appeal to a Quebec audience is effective. There's no hint of the serious, almost ominous pitch, aimed at the rest of the country in the English ads last month.

Stephen Harper is a superstitous moron who seeks to use lies in an attempt to poison the minds of healthy Canadians - as his own has been poisoned -. He should be covered in tar and feathers and railroaded out of Canada. Stephen Harper and all of his sick, superstitious segregationists and religious zealot supporters should be living in Alabama, not in Canada (along with all the C.N.P. members). Time for the intelligent Canadian public to make them understand this.

In French or in English, Mr. Stephen Harper, you still stink.

 

Tonight on The Agenda, the topic was the decline in popularity of Scientific Thought in North America. It is a disturbing trend. Problems with funding in terms of such Scientific Research as Stem Cells, Cloning - currently portrayed as politically unpopular in terms of the present means of programming.- The fact that there is suddenly a debate about something as common-sense as Evolution is an unwholesome atmosphere - poisonus to Scientific thought -. North America is not as popular a destination now as a result of the dulling atmosphere that is best described as blunt, superstitious darkness, this Right-wing Evangelical Blight. This blight must be purged and Canada be standing on guard to defend against this ugly monstrosity ( a bane to our South ). We must strive to promote the truth of Scientific study and promote Canada as being pro-science. We must also support and promote it in our schools and severely legislate and enforce governmental guideleines with regards to acceptable lessons and teaching plans. Ultimately we - the Canadian People - must strive to eradicate all private education from Canada. One puiblic, secular, French or English schools. From Kindergarden to grade 12. No private education at those grades will be legal. Canada could have the best public school in the world. We must encourage this.

Hugo Chavez has begun to take steps that must serve as an example to the future leaders of the world. His honesty is refreshing and the United Venezuelan Socalist Party will prove to be the catalyst of Bolivarian destiny throughout all of Latin America. Today we see a story in Canoe that shows how it is possible to control the callous profit mongering of corporations. Too many corporations have been permitted to concentrate on profits - their only reason for existing - to the detriment of the communities they used to grow and exploit for these profits, for too long. To examine such despicable acts as corporations that close factories and lay off thousands of workers - such as Bombardier in Canada ( only to rely on an exported cheaper labour market for greater profits ). - Originally the founding fathers of the United States felt the same way towards corporate profit mongering. What happened to these honest views?

The fact that corporations exist strictly for profit is not something that should be ended. They do contribute to the countries that they operate in and therefore are entitled to their right to conduct business. It is neccessary that the growth of corporations be subjected to profit regulation within their mandates in order to ensure that too much profit can and will prove to be a bad thing. Corporate responsiblity must be included in their mandates. Corporate profit capping is an excellent way to ensure that these corporate entities are obligated to contribute to the communities they rely on for these profits. Corporate entities will accept that their ability to glean profits must be curtailed for the greater good of the communities that they serve in this time of globalization. Corporate profit capping will introduce a maximum level of profit permitted for corporations to retain - all profit above this level must be directly reinvested to their local communities -. In the world of corporations it is important to force a degree of social responsibility. There will still be profits to be had in the future, but not the excessive profits at the cost of their fellow human beings.

So let us all look to Hugo Chavez and laud his great accomplishments and the United Venezuelan Socalist Party. May they survive the subversive machinations of the United states to become the light that illuminates the world.

I would like to wish everybody a Happy May Day. Hope everybody had a joyous and exciting day today. Keep our eyes focused forward into the future and all endeavers be toward that goal for Humanity. Truth be the watchword.
