Here's just a few of the alleged illegal activities committed by Harper.

Election Fraud
This isn't a story about "dirty tricks," it's about election fraud. This isn't "stupid," it's illegal. This isn't "folly," it was a deliberate, systematic, strategic, targeted campaign to steal the election. This isn't "voter suppression," it's stealing democracy. We should not treat this as some petty misdemeanor. This is a grave threat to our very basic freedom. This is a threat to our democracy. This is corruption.http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/jim-harris/robocalls-scandal_b_1305397.html

"Tory operatives may have tried to rig the vote in a number of ridings across Canada by using automated calls that directed voters to non-existent polling stations. Impersonating an Elections Canada official is illegal and can land you in jail. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, however, strongly denies that anyone in the senior ranks of the national campaign knew of or condoned any illegal activity."http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/in-the-robo-call-affair-time-and-the-law-favour-the-tories/article549960/

The Harper government says election financing charges against four top Conservative Party officials are an "administrative" matter, an "accounting dispute" and a "debate."The office of the federal Director of Public Prosecutions has another phrase: "illegal activity." http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/tory-election-allegations-illegal-not-administrative-prosecutor-says/article1924161/?service=mobile

Then there was the disastrous hiring of Bruce Carson as a key advisor to the prime minister. People make mistakes, yes. But I am still looking for another prime minister who hired someone with a criminal record to sit at his right hand. A fraud conviction is not usually a big selling point when looking for work.
...
Carson’s dubious appointment is small potatoes in comparison to the lack of judgment involved in welcoming confessed money-launderer Nathan Jacobson into the Conservative party’s inner sanctum.
...
Less than two years later, Porter found himself chair of our spy services oversight committee, a position in which he had access to all of Canada’s intelligence secrets. He was appointed to the Board of Air Canada and made a Queen’s Privy Councillor. Porter also was connected to self-described arms-dealer and former (alleged) Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe. The two were involved in a dubious business deal involving a $120 million investment by Russia in “port development” in Africa. It turned out that Porter was also claiming to be ambassador plenipotentiary of Sierra Leone, one of the most corrupt countries on earth — an obvious conflict with his SIRC role." - Michael Harris, iPolitics.

A Letter to Harper

2013-03-21T18:20:00.002-04:00

A Letter to Harper
(Received from a friend)
-------------------
By Kevin Redman Sr

"Hey Stephen, let's get a few things straight!

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for many, many years.

2. I have been paying taxes since I was 18 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Old Age security payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of Canadian seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Canadians, have been paying into health care from day one, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from health care to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Canadians, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the Canadian taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

1. How much money have you earned from the Canadian taxpayers during your pathetic political career?

2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much will you receive in annual retirement benefits from the Canadian taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called "The Harper Government" who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted Canada and stolen the dream of a decent retirement from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed, leech.

That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted Canada for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

EVERYONE!

If you like the way things are in Canada delete this.

If you agree with what I'm saying, please PASS IT ON!

P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN INSULT!

I have been paying in to the system for 45 years **It's my money** give it back to me the way the system was designed to work and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous!

Still Glad You Voted CON?

Catching Up - November 28, 2012

2012-11-28T10:05:00.001-05:00

In my humble opinion last year, I felt that Harper's being elected in May, 2011 would be catastrophic for Canada. I eat and drink politics and the warning signs were worse than scary.

For example ... currently, with a Bill now past its second reading, in a manoeuvre that makes past fascist governments look more moderate, he is assimilating our Native People into the general population BY LAW. This will finish the genocide started by our forefathers.

Has anyone noticed our country's finances? Harper was handed a $100 billion surplus by the Liberals. It is now a $100 billion deficit and climbing fast.

Bad times are coming, from our country's pension pool being wiped out to the complete elimination of health care and unemployment insurance. Don't think so? Just watch him. It's coming. I see the warning signs, just like I saw our surplus was about to be wiped out.

Everyone was writing me ... telling me to shut up about Harper, that he was what the country needed.

Whatever!

Boycott CAT in Canada

Quick Update

As announced last week, we are devoting much time to help the 450+ families destroyed by Caterpillar Inc (CAT) in London, Ontario. While Roots GPK and Friends will sacrifice on its number of daily postings, we will continue to post as much as possible!

These London Workers were ordered to accept a 50% wage cut or lose their jobs. Who anywhere could accept that? Who has much left from their pay cheque after food, housing, transport ... and many of these workers have reached the age, with 25+ years seniority, with their kids now in university and that added expense!

CAT is moving the jobs to the USA, where workers will have to accept half the wage rates paid in London.

In one week Boycott CAT in Canada has seen exponential growth with 800+ Members, many being empathetic Canadians from coast to coast.

Our first project is the undertaking of a documentary about this case. It will be a video montage of press reports and employee interviews mixed with still photos of workers from around the word standing in front of famous landmarks holding up small "Boycott CAT" posters, in solidarity with the London workers.

Our first official letter was sent today, as seen here, putting CAT on notice that we want them out of Canada. If our workers are not good enough for them, they are not good enough for us!

Here are direct links to Boycott CAT in Canada Internet sites:

Military Wives Choir

This video is taken from a British series where a guy called Gareth Malone takes a group of people and turns them into a choir.

This time he's taken a group of military wives whose husbands are all away in Afghanistan and turned them into a choir.

Gareth looks about 16 years old but is actually in his mid-30s and a Choir master for the London Symphony Orchestra, among other things.

They wrote a song based on excerpts from letters written by the couples whilst apart and this is the beautiful result.

The single is out in the UK and thousands have been pre-ordered and all the money raised is going to military charities.

Enjoy!

Thanks Wayne!

Temporary Slow Down

There is a State of Emergency in London, Ontario!

ALL Canadians can help!

You have probably read about the 450 desperate people who have been dumped by Caterpillar (CAT) Inc. In many cases, BOTH the husband and wife were locked out. Some are having a hard time feeding their kids.

The plant makes train engines AT A PROFIT.

Despite running at a profit, CAT told the employees to accept a FIFTY PER CENT reduction in wages or the plant would be closed and the jobs taken to the USA!!!!!!!!!!!

CAT has lived up to its threat.

Here's what Canada has to do Folks.

If CAT wants to run OUR jobs out of Canada, then we have to run CAT out of our country.

We are working towards Events that will raise awareness and what companies to boycott. For example, State Farm Insurance and the Bank of Montreal, two service companies that apparently lease and insure CAT equipment, are complicit in this tyrannical move.

If you want to support these families and are on Facebook, ask to join "Boycott Cat in Canada" at this LINK. Would LOVE to see you there!!!!

Our posts will be minimal while we help organize the boycott, but we do hope to keep adding a minimum of posts.

Let's help our fellow Canadians: Boycott CAT!

Thank you!!

Here's a chap from London Ontario showing his disgust .....
