If You Can Not Say Anything Nice Or Do Anything Productive

So, first it was Canadians for Democracy in 2008, which apparently scared the Canadian public away from minority governments and coalitions, then now Republicans for Ignatieff in 2009 to show a tougher and rougher Grit, later perhaps a Democrats for Harper one in 2010 to show a softer Tory in Quebec and Ontario and gain that long sought after majority. Watching all of the drama from a far enough distance from Ottawa, you had to literally shake your head at how honestly horrible the lengths special political interests would go to have their own way, measures never taken openly before in the Great White Northern version of the game. I just have to wonder if those unofficial or official Conservative Party of Canada operatives know how damaging these kind of astroturfed ghosting tactics are to Canadian politics in general and the attitudes of the Canadian electorate.

Brought to you by NearlyFreeSpeech, RespectMyPrivacy and AmericaOnLine, its leader Semper Fi Colonel does indeed get the best of Liberal Party Leader Michael Ignatieff on the hot topics of human rights, preemptive wars, targeted assassination, coercive interrogation, counterterrorism, torture and energy security and independence, while supporting American exceptionalism for those still in love with the Republican Bush Adminitration. Which I suspect the good people formerly of CFD and presently RFI seems to bank on the opposite reaction from the Canadian public at large, being the same kneejerk reaction by Canadians in their support last year for a professionaly solid majority over the amateurish coalition of the backroom dealings, something we can agree sadly they will likely get. Canada is seen as a progressive liberal democracy, yet everyday in most everyway since America's 9-11 with Martin or even NAFTA with Chretien, as Manley slowly replaced the large shadow of Thomas Daquino at the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, it has become more regressively conservative oligarchy, plus as this financial shakeup during the reign of the Consevative Harper Government has proven on both the continentally integrated crossroads of Bay and Wall streets, a rather economic one at that.

Just because you messed up on a lowly academic quote on international exclusivity misattributed to him, through your quick blitzing shock and awe warfare to fear and scare politics transition style of campaigning and obviously continuance of absolute partisanship even outside Parliament, despite the proof of its destructive nature towards cooperation within it, does not mean you can attack your official loyal opposition with everything including the kitchen sink. Going after those you disagree with politically means, first, having the solutions for where to go, if and when the electorate back you. As you know, pointing where not to go is easy, the hard part is winning through working hard for the people now instead of losing through private internal tricks which just creates public external blowback later.
