Today’s truly great conservative idea once again comes NOT from the Conservative Party of Canada (ProudToBeCanadian Blog)

Happy Thursday thy sons! Right after crafting my wily (even if cynical) blog headline about conservative ideas, I came to realize that I don’t actually remember the last time a good conservative idea came from anyone but me and a few other conservatives in Canada, rather than the Conservative Party. But I’ll go ahead and behave just like government,…

Conservatives Continue to Deliver on Free Trade

March 11, 2010 by admin  
Filed under CON-Stephen Harper, Featured

On Wednesday, Peter Van Loan, Canada’s Minister of International Trade, introduced legislation which would implement the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Minister Van Loan is following through on a commitment made last week in our Conservative Government’s Speech from the Throne.
 
To broaden our engagement with Colombia, our Government has also introduced parallel labour and environment agreements.
 
This Free Trade Agreement will give Canadians access to an emerging market of 45 million people with the potential for high growth.
 
Our Government is working to give our exporters greater market access for products such as wheat, barley, paper products and heavy equipment. It will also give Canadians more opportunity for direct investment, especially in mining, oil exploration, printing and education.
 
The Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement is just one of eleven Free Trade Agreements that our Conservative Government is pursuing or has completed, including countries as diverse as Jordan, Peru, Panama and the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein).
 
Protectionism clearly threatens the long-term economic recovery of Canada and of the entire world. That’s why our Conservative Government is committed and focused on opposing protectionism and defending free trade – so that Canadian workers and businesses can continue to demonstrate that they are among the best in the world.

Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals Refuse to Stand up for Canadian Sealers

March 10, 2010 by admin  
Filed under CON-Stephen Harper, Featured

For generations, thousands of coastal Canadian sealers have relied on the seal hunt for income and ultimately, their livelihood. 
 
While Michael Ignatieff claims to support the seal hunt, he is in fact attempting to play both sides of the issue. A senior Liberal, Mac Harb, announced on Tuesday that he intends to reintroduce his bill calling for the banning of the seal hunt.
 
The seal hunt is a sustainable activity based on sound conservation principals. Our Canadian sealers have been a part of the hunt for generations upon generations. To them, sealing is about more than fur; they are trading numerous other products such as seal oil and meat. 
 
Our Canadian seal hunt represents a growing share of what is already a multi-million dollar business. In these challenging economic times, Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals are threatening those who depend on the seal hunt for their living.
 
The reintroduction of this bill will undermine the hunt and undercut the livelihood of sealing families.
 
If Michael Ignatieff truly supports Canadian Sealers, he should call on his entire caucus to stand united behind our sealers.
 
While Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals play politics with Canadian families, our Conservative Government is unwavering in its support for the generations of men and women who depend on this sustainable hunt.

Everyone, welcome [NEWS]! I’ll find a suitable icon as quickly as I can. The New York Times reports on the growing global demand for the element lithium, so critical in battery manufacture. Canada’s responding maturely to criticism of the seal hunt, the Times of London reports, by putting seal meat on the menu of the federal parliament’s cafeteria. Perhaps nore maturely on the same topic,…

Chris Selley’s Full Pundit: You call that a spending cut? (Full Comment)

Deficit reduction: Phase I Good news, everyone: Only $6,698,600,000 left to cut! If, at any point since the creation of the Conservative Party of Canada, you’d have described it to us as a party that’s “about law and order, a strong military, smaller government with low tax rates, traditional Anglo-Saxon family values and flag-waving patriotism,” we’d have deemed it a…

Going out on a limb (ottlib)

Filed under Conservative Blogs

If the allegations of Professor Attaran become the topic of conversation for the remainder of the Spring Parliamentary session the Liberals will win a majority government in the next election, regardless of when it occurs. Very few Canadians will support a government that appears to have been complicit in committing war crimes. Certainly, some of the more ardent Conservatives, who…

Cicero, Catilina I, 1, 2 I rather like “thou dost in us command.” Well, I guess I’m just too liberal — or maybe too old fashioned (it was the form of the original English version). Conservatives backtrack on ‘O Canada‘ review in face of public outcry By Joan Bryden THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA – O Canada, the Harper government is standing on guard for your lyrics after…

Sons won’t be expelled from Canadian anthem (The Reference Frame)

March 7, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Conservative Blogs

What’s wrong with this anthem? Yes, it says “True patriot love in all thy sons command,” without any reference to daughters. So as Gordon has pointed out, the “Conservativeparty of Canada proposed to make the text more inclusive and replace the verse by a gender-neutral “True patriot love thou dost in us” (”thou dost” is an archaic version of “you do”). Fortunately, Stephen…

A so-so budget, but the best one we were likely to get (Russ Campbell’s Blog)

Filed under Conservative Blogs

N ow that the chatter over the federal budget has tapered off, I’ll add my two cents worth. As a conservative, I give the budget a failing grade. As a Conservative Party supporter, however, I’d say it’s about as good as we were likely to get. Simply put, no Tory minority government is ever going to be able to get a budget passed that is anything like what the party’s…

"injurious" to whom? to the conservative party, of course (we move to canada)

March 5, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Conservative Blogs

The federal government has asked a former Supreme Court of Canada judge to review whether there would be “injurious” effects if some Afghan detainee documents were made public. I have no doubt that releasing the documents would have injurious effects. On this Prime Minister Stephen Harper and I agree. The effects could be catastrophically injurious to the Conservative Party
