Liberals Ready for Election to Run Tired Old Retreads to the Canadian Public

Opinion

Barry Artiste

The Stephane Dion "Lieberal Show" all "Flash and No Money Back Warranty" which brought you everything from a 0.60 cent Canadian dollar to a deficit of gigantic proportions. Dion and his Party of Five or more are gearing up for a "Green Shift" with a real good wheel balancing act in their quest to pander to everyone's desire, no matter how much it will cost the taxpayer.

We all remember his "Lieberal Bandwagon Promise" including the much hated "Carbon Tax", like the one the Provincial Lieberal Government gave British Columbia this spring, and how is that working out for us? Just ask us, cause once implemented, the next day gas prices rose almost 50 cents a gallon.

Of course Waffles Dion has other Prostrating Niceties to bring back the party line which when they were in Power, gave us the World Moniker "Nancy Canada".

One scandal the promised, like the Carbon Tax, was the "Won't cost more than 25 million dollar Gun Registry Farce which turned into a Billion Dollar fiasco for Canadian Taxpayers". 

The Lieberal Gun Registry is still not working at removing guns from Criminals.

Mr. Dion Lieberal Leader, compared between "Neddie Flanders" and " Waffles Dion" will be laying down the Canadian Maple Syrup by telling Canadians what they want to hear.

Liberal party complaints that Olympic Athletes under the Conservative Government needing more money to train, brings back a train of thought to me and other Canadians I am sure most remember when under the "Lieberal Watch" our non francophone Athletes complained they only received, if memory serves me correct a paltry $500,000 dollars, while during the same time Francophone Athletes in Quebec received a generous 3 million dollars to train for the upcoming games hosted in Africa.

Certainly a ground shaking world event nary a Canadian got to see, well maybe Liberal politicians. Even TV stations here in Canada didn't cover it, cause "Friends" was a hit show back then and more interesting.

So Canadians should perhaps do some homework on Stephane and the Lieberals, cause as the saying goes "Ya gets what ya pays for"~In this case what ya vote for! 

Dion jumping on the Arts funding Bandwagon, would certainly take exception if they were in power, if a Conservative Artist went to the USA to complain about Lieberal Policies, much like some in the Arts community who recieve Arts funding go to Cuba to criticize Canada and the Conservative Government, and all at the taxpayers expense.

Now where is the cultural benefit in that for Canadian Taxpayers. None. why pay Artists who are to represent Canada to go on Chablis and Caviar tours with Castro and Chavez?

  Hence why the Conservatives felt, perhaps these Artists were not representing Canadian and Government taxpayers interests. 

Remember 45 million dollars is a lot of money, and divide that amongst the arts community sees more of this funding to represent Canada! Not to go to World Lefty Champagne Tours.

The money needs to go to those  Artists who perhaps have something interesting for Canadians, but cannot afford to do it, cause the Clique of Artists get the lions share.

In fact some of the artists receiving Canadian arts funding are not even Canadian citizens nor do they pay Canadian taxes. Hello Did we just lose a Friggin War?

So before you make up your mind, remember what it was like for you taxpayers under the Lieberal Watch, and judge what it is like now under the Conservatives, granted the conservatives may not be perfect, but I would rather have them behind the wheel, going slow and steady, than a "Lieberal Party with overinflated tires" with Neddie Dion trying to learn to drive a stick at our expense!

Liberals ready to fight Tories on arts

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion says his party is "fully ready" for a fall election, and suggested the party will build an election platform on championing arts and culture funding.

Mr. Dion, in Montreal on Thursday for discussions with a coalition of arts groups, was reacting to Prime Minister Stephen Harper's recent announcement of an estimated $45 million in federal cuts to arts programs.

Speaking afterwards to reporters, Mr. Dion insisted that arts and culture will be a key issue for him in a federal election that Mr. Harper is all but certain to call before Parliament resumes this fall.

"We are prepared, we are organized and we are determined to win this election, especially with what they [the governing Conservatives] have done regarding arts and culture," Mr. Dion said.
