According to a Winnipeg Free Press Article (read it here) Tony Clement allegedly (and laughably) demanded an apology from New Democrat Party (NDP) member Charlie Angus, for allegedly (yes, that's a lot of allegations, but let's face it, you can't trust anything you read in the press anymore) accusing him of doctoring (ie altering) the official (Hansard) record of his testimony on a G8 legacy fund.
Assuming this to be true, why is this laughable?
Two reasons.
First, Mr. Clement needs to grow up. Modern politics amounts to nothing more than baseless, mud-slinging accusations, based on half-fact and half-fantasy. Politics is a children's playground, and he should readily expect all politicians to act like mentally retarded children (which they almost inevitably do).
It's not like politicians ever actually do anything important (if they did, they would be cranking out legislation at a much slower, and more thought out pace (like they are supposed to), instead of the moronic legislation they crank out at a neck-breaking pace (that modern media and morons desire)).
Second, and this is even more important - apologies and corrections of lies are important to Parliament only when liberals, lefties, and communists demand them. The politically emasculated right wing almost always inevitably caves in and apologizes, even when such apologies not only are not warranted, but to the contrary, public executions are warranted. The left never apologizes - warranted or not.
Mr. Clement - let's be blunt - don't hold your breath for an apology, and don't waste (our) money on lawyers. Your apology will never come, because this is exactly how liberals conduct themselves. So please, stop wasting our tax dollars, and just ignore the defamation of the political left.
Defamation is the only tool the political left has. If you haven't figured that out by now, well, perhaps you ought to rethink your career choice.

This Must Be Killing The CBC
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), reported on its web site on November 22, that the Auditor General found "disturbing flaws" in Canada's immigration system, particularly with respect to VISA (a seal indicating a visitor's intention to stay abroad) issuance.
The Auditor General's findings are interesting, but what is more interesting is the terrible rectal pain the CBC is being caused by having to admit, to its great distaste, that in the Auditor General's eyes the present Conservative Government deserves a "passing grade".
It goes without saying the CBC would never suggest the Conservatives are doing a good job. It's already painful enough for them to realize conservatism is superior to liberalism, and while conservatism is always worthy of a "pass", liberalism is always worthy of a "fail".
Here's a sample of what the CBC had to distastefully report:
"The report overall gives a passing grade to the Conservative government on how it tracked spending for three of the programs under its $47-billion Economic Action Plan introduced in 2009 but said it's not clear how the government is going to determine the effectiveness of one of them."
Two out of three isn't bad for any Government, when you historically have a track record of zero out of three for monitoring anything (especially spending and determining spending effectiveness).
""For the three specific programs we audited, the government was diligent in monitoring the progress of projects and their spending," Wiersema said in a statement. "It also took corrective action as required to ensure projects were completed as intended.""
Conservatives diligent? Liberals must be having epileptic fits. Corrective action? Completing projects on time? How will liberals ever get back into power?
Of course, the CBC could not let this go unchallenged. So, they decided to manufacture some "news" of their own.
"His audit did not include an analysis of whether the projects funded were worthy of the cash, only if the money was properly tracked by the departments spending it."
Interestingly, the CBC fails to report that the Auditor General's report also did not include an analysis of whether satellite television has any correlation with a need for public parks, and whether there is a direct tie between liberalism and mental retardation.
"The Conservatives have touted the EAP as a successful program that created jobs, but Wiersema's report says data was collected in a number of ways by various departments, making it difficult for the government to assess how well its goals were achieved."
Aren't liberals always complaining that one size does not fit all, and hence we must have uniquely tailored solutions for every single thing we do in life? Isn't that why so many of our University students suffer from mental retardation? Yet, if that (individualized solutions) doesn't benefit them, then all of a sudden it's bad? Since when is Government supposed to have an easy job?
Thankfully, the Auditor General did throw the CBC a bone, in that he did essentially fail the Canada Border Services Agency and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. You see, immigration is allowed to work only if benevolent liberals let people into the country (without qualification, screening, or criteria).
What's really funny about the Citizenship and Immigration Canada criticism is, the CBC (likely unknowingly) reports that "Wiersema said many of these problems have been identified by previous audits and the department has committed to fixing them, but they haven't followed through on those promises.". In other words, this was a problem festering through previous (read :Liberal) Governments.
The CBC's reporting of this last part is what's called a Random Act Of Journalism.
Of course, the CBC mantra is plain and simple - if there's no bad news, make it up (unless it's about our guys, in which case bury it). If there's good news, report it (unless it's not about our guys, in which case bury it).

Washington's Subtle Corruption
This past week, the CBS television show 60 Minutes did a fantastic expose on Washington's corrupt culture.
While normally we have to take any corruption piece from the mainstream media with a metric tonne of salt, surprisingly, 60 Minutes did a fairly even piece. They exposed questionable behaviour of Republicans, and amazingly, Democrats.
After watching this piece, one has to ask, how much of this goes on in Canada? Well, like all other things, Canadians are a little more subtle. But don't be fooled. It's here too.
