ME

ME
Common sense conservative who does not feel guilty that my neighbour to the left has less that me nor am I envious that my neighbour to the right has more. I believe in helping those truly in need with a hand up, not a hand out, self responsibility and hard work. I am proud to be Christian that holds no ill will to all other religions or beliefs be they muslin, jewish or atheist. I am a climate realist, one that does not buy into the great CO2 scam. As such I believe climate changes as a natural course of nature but in saying that it is everyone's basic responsibilty bethey personal or corporate to take care of our enviroment. Pollution and global warming are two totaly seperate issues. These are my thoughts on a world that is changing faster than ever before, sometimes for better sometimes for the worse but sadly with what appears to be with little common sense or respect. I try to make sense of it all in a straight forward, not politically correct manner with a big dose of common sense.

Is this unwanted Election perhaps the most important in Canadian History?

May 2nd 2011 Canada goes goes to the polls to elect the next government of Canada. It is an election many have have called unnecessary, and by most unwanted but none the less the opposition parties of the house now was the time. The reasons provided by the opposition parties were based on two false pretences, first was the budget which none of them read and decided not to support before even looking at and second was a trumped up contempt of parliament issue.

Not even reading the budget and rejecting is contemptuous in of it's self, and reinforced by the fact opposition parties were already putting election signs out. As for the contempt of parliament which what the gov't fell on means nothing in my opinion. How can it be of any merit when the committee that ordered this vote was a majority of the opposition parties looking for an election and also had a large component of separatists in this committee? How can any party, politician be in more contempt of Canada than the Bloc? How can one who is a separatist and wishes to destroy Canada even be part of national policy decisions? Only in Canada and hopefully this insanity ends soon.
Further to confirm this contempt is nothing more than a cheap political stunt is the fact none of the opposition parties that voted on this are bringing it during the campaign nor is the taxpayer funded, liberal PR machine the CBC. This tells me it can't be that serious of a matter and a cheap stunt as if it were the CBC, CTV and other left leaning biased media would be all other this by having this as a lead story every night instead of silly stories of people not allowed into conservative rallies who some it turned out to be very radical protesters linked to the Green and NDP party. Which by the way the main stream media forgets to report as per usual biased newscasts. Another question that needs to be asked is why haven't the Liberals, NDP, Bloc and even the fringe Green party are not bringing it up every day? The only logical answer to everyday Canadians it is just another political stunt and they just don't care as there are more important issues to deal with.

So just why is this unwanted Election about nothing possibly the most important in our history? The reasons are this;
1) If Prime Minister Harper and the conservatives do not get a majority the chances are the oppositions will join with a group of separatists and form a coalition government against the wishes of the majority of Canadians. What makes this even more offensive is the leader of the Liberal party Michael Ignatieff refuse to admit he will do this despite his signing the attempted coalition a few years ago. He will do it just as he was willing to do it before. Jack Layton of the NDP has already said he will join with separatists to form this coalition.
This dangerous coalition will change Canada forever and for the worse. First the economic recovery we are enjoying thanks to the current government will most likely fail. We will see see the Bloc wag the tail of this coalition donkey for all the money, benefits it can get for Quebec at the detriment of the rest of Canada. Then you will have Jack of the NDP force the coalition to spend like crazy on more entitlements for their union friends and many many special interest groups. The Liberals have released their pipe-dream programs for Canada, that alone will send Canada to a economic recession with high taxes, high unemployment and a nanny state supreme.
This coalition will set the future course for Canadians and we may never turn back from. It doesn't matter coalition are popular in the EU and other areas, they are not the norm here and the big difference is that were coalitions are the norm the people know this and vote along those lines, a big difference from back dooring and lying to the Canadian public to form this coalition.

2) This coalition will adopt insane CO2 cap and trade legislation not in order to save the planet as we know it won't but will destroy the oil and gas industry in Canada but will falsely raise billions in dollars for the government as the economy will die with this. This is apparent in the EU as the CO2 cap & trade experiment has failed by nearly destroying some EU economies. In all likely hood will also see a new NEP program that will send Canada back into double digit inflation, interest rates and unemployment much like the Trudeau days.

3)  The country needs strong leadership on crime, the Harper government will introduce strong crime laws so that the law is on the side of the victims, not the criminal like we have now thanks to previous liberal governments. The coalition will stop this and move to give more rights to the criminal as they have done before and continue to do by blocking this legislation. With them there is no self responsibility, it is always someone else's fault and that is how they build their criminal justice system.

4) The country needs strong leadership on security and again the Harper government will do this by it's continued strong support of the military that the NDP and Liberals will destroy if elected like they nearly did before. We need to F-35 not only for national security but for our international commitments with NATO and the UN. The jobs it will create are also another great benefit along allowing Canada to showcase its technological advances and capabilities.

5) Healthcare, the Liberals, NDP will destroy healthcarehealthcare issue, a slash of billions to the provinces by the previous Liberal government.

Canada is at a crossroads with this election. Do we do the right thing, vote for a strong Canada, strong as it's people that just go get it done, believe in a hand up, not hand outs, believe in self reliance and self responsibility or do we elect a coalition of progressive leftist elites who think only they know what is best for us and increase dependence on government handouts while inflicting Canadians with high taxes, more restrictions and less freedoms.

I say vote for a strong Canada and the only way Canada can be strong and get stronger in by electing a Harper lead conservative majority.

NOW GET OUT AND VOTE ON MAY 2nd! 
people are dying today for this priceless freedom we have, don't waste such a gift

How the NHL is Destroying the Game of Hockey (part 3-the rules)

Well the NHL season is at it last weekend of regular season play before playoffs and of course it will not end without controversy. 
There was the allowed goal by Chicago that appeared to be kicked in but not enough video evidence to over turn it or so the NHL says which funny enough may of lead to a hawks win and place in the playoffs.
Also we are still dealing with blatant hits to the head and how the NHL deals with it. 
First we had the viscous hit on Montreal's Pacioretty by Boston's star defencemen Chara. Was it a blatant head shot, a dirty hit. Yes it was and for the reason that these guys are professionals, elite players and should, need to know what they are doing.
If a players gets credit for reacting in milli-seconds and tipping a shot in for a goal they also need to be held accountable for hits that cause injury. But the NHL in all it's gutless wisdom decided the hit which resulted in a severe concussion and fractured neck was not worthy of any discipline. To the media's credit and fans alike there was much outcry as it showed the hypocrisy of the NHL, one rule for stars and another for the non stars. It also showed just how unwilling the NHL is to enforce it's own rules.
A couple of weeks later Matt Cooke who just returned from a suspension for a cheap shot did the unthinkable, he delivered a elbow to the head of a Ranger player. This time due mainly to media and fan pressure the NHL did what it should have done years ago, suspended Cooke for 10 games including the first round of the playoffs.
Was this a sign the NHL has finally woke up from the fog and saw the light? Perhaps as early this week Torres from the Canucks decided not to play the puck and went for a head shot on a player in a vulnerable position. That player was Eberle of the Oilers. Now he was not hurt, was able to get up and finish the game and play in the next game.
To the NHL's credit they did not look at that, they focused on the hit. Torres was given a 5 min major and game for the hit and most thought the NHL would leave it as is but they didn't, they did the right thing and handed Torres a 4 game suspension which includes 2 first round playoff games. 
Of course Canuck fans scream unfair, the NHL is against them as they always do when a call doesn't go their way but it was the right call by the NHL, they have to change the culture and apply the rules evenly to all.
Another way the NHL can fix the game is first get rid of the instigator rule, most fans would rather se a fight than these cheap head shots and it will make the players accountable for their actions as the NHL has failed to do that. Also scoring has declined since the instigator rule has been in place.
Finally the NHL needs to grow up and apply the existing rules evenly to all players and all teams no matter what their status or standing in the league. Quit insulting fans with this garbage well he is a star so he gets a break etc. It is an insult to fans all over. When there are bad calls make the official accountable, suspend them , fine them, don't let them ref big games as the NCAA, NFL etc do. Quit hiding from the issue, take it head on and deal with it, the fans and media will appreciate it

NOW DROP THE PUCK ALREADY!
