Attention Peeps in the Federal Government

I noticed this before I stopped posting on my blog before, but I am going to comment on it again. It seems that quite a few people in the federal government read my little blog and I was wondering who in the big house is reading it. I was wondering if it is fellow Liberals reading my blog and wondering if free speech was a good thing, or is it the NDP trying to get an idea, or is it the Bloc reaffirming their ideals on separating from Canada, or is it the Emo's (see my blogs tagline or this post) grabbing evidence so I get put on a terrorist no-fly list. We all know you are reading it, just let us know who you are, there are several from the House of Commons, a few from GTIS, some from the Privy Council, we even got the Department of Foreign Affairs. Just let me know who you are, and in case you aren't actually an important figure (ie. MP, higher up in their party) then just let us know your affiliation with your party. I am just sooooooo god damn curious about who you people actually are. You can say whatever you want about me or my blog as this is a nation of free speech.

Damn I am Good

Back at the end of June I commented on the Cons military spending increase....and it is starting to come true. At the end of the post I wrote the following:

"They are going to pull an Ontario PC government by trying to buy votes, hide debt and then complain when the new Liberal government comes into power and has to cut all of the governments spending."

Now, in a little article seen here, it looks like the Cons are right on track for the whole master plan thing. First off, how the hell can a government lose over 3 billion dollars in 2 months. Now last year, the housing crunch was being felt in the US, but we in Canada were still relatively unaffected. Even at the beginning of 2008, the federal government was still earning running a substantial surplus, but the US economic problems were still getting worse. So what does our great government do? Give more tax cuts to the wealthy and big business, and hope that oil goes up to $200 a barrel to pay for it all. (Now when the Cons release the balance in 2 months, everyone will have to take into account the 4.2 billion dollar surplus from the spectrum auction. If it is below a 4.2 billion dollar surplus, the government is still running a deficit.) Since the price of oil will continue to drop for the rest of the year possibly as low as $70 a barrel, the federal coffers will be all but empty. We will be several billion dollars in the red, services will have to be cut in order to pay for it all, and taxes will have to go up. Every single time the Liberals cut spending, the Cons will be up in arms about how the Liberals keep on hurting Canadians by trying to balance the budget even though they destroyed a decade of fiscal solvency with 2 years of sheer ineptitude. Now before anyone says anything, the last part was after the election this fall when the Liberals get back into power after the August/September budget results come in and the government is in the red by over 1 billion dollars.

Any One Else See Anything Wrong With This???

I was bored while surfing the net and I came across this.





Now I don't know why but this banner really confuses me. Do they mean that everyone that teaches is a Liberal? Or does it mean that we are supposed to fight the man by becoming a member of the Reform Party...oops, I mean the Canadian Alliance....damn, I mean the Con party? Last time I checked, the Cons were still in power so wouldn't that mean that we should be joining a party that isn't affiliated with the Cons? Or are they saying that nobody in their right mind would actually vote for the Cons so you should vote for them so you won't be a conformist? So the Cons are now the new emo? Wait I like that one....let me just say that again, THE CONS ARE THE NEW EMO!!!!! It makes me chuckle inside. I am still trying to wrap my head around this banner and it makes absolutely no sense.
