RE: Like Jean Chretien, Ralph Klein can't
see that times have changed. Major tactical errors have touched
our previously Teflon premier Sheila Pratt, The Edmonton Journal
Published: Sunday, March 26, 2006
Now I have over a month ago
I had published some very similar views on the arrogant Klein Canada wide
on this site and lately next on Conservative Blogs like the Western
Standard Blog. Recently agreeing that it was really time for this old man
Klein to go now as well for everyone's good welfare before he is kicked
out. But I have experienced that Conservative Blogs like the Western
Standard Blog undemocraticaly now does not tolerate posting such truths as
yours and mine. and what is the tie between them? what is the tie between
Ralph Klein supporters and Western Standard Blog for it cannot be coincidental
that they are both undemocratic, dictatorial , oppressive now too. Western
Standard sounds like it is a puppet of the other. We really do not need
more Stalins, Mussolni's. Saddams, Hilers in politics in
Canada.
"...Alberta's Rednecks demand to know now from
Harper now "What is Alberta's place in Canada and how will the
federal government address Alberta's growing wealth? No change. Alberta
has the same place it always had, along with BC, and as for Alberta supposed
wealthy. Take the surplus money from rich Alberta and give it to the poor
people of all of Canada of course. That is all fair and normal. What
else do they wrongfully expect a gold medal?" is also now not acceptable to
post?
"So how did Ralph Klein, for years the leader who could
do no wrong, get himself into such a mess this week? Mr. Populist
Premier, just "Ralph" to most Albertans, the mastermind of massive
Conservative majorities for a decade, suddenly finds his grip is
slipping. It seemed to happen so fast, but signs have been there for
awhile. The trouble was, Klein had no intention of going along with the
expectations of a quick departure raised by his declaration that this term was
his last. . But in his arrogance, he blundered again with his decree that
cabinet ministers who wanted to run for leadership had to leave cabinet by
June 1 -- and then wait 18 months for a leadership contest. The biggest
problem, of course, is a leader who doesn't know when his time is up. The
Conservative party, so dominated by the cult of the Ralph, is ill-equipped to
deal with this crisis. Not Klein. Like Jean Chretien, he can't see that
times have changed. He came into power to do one job, slay the debt. His
ministers came to power believing least government was best and any spending
is a bad thing. How do you build a vision on that? But the Conservative party
also reaps what it sows. The Klein revolution was elevated to religion and
didn't tolerate dissenters. Anyone with new ideas or other approaches was
pushed to the sidelines or drummed out long ago. As Klein got more arrogant,
so went the party's image. What's interesting this week are signs that the
public mood may be shifting. Only a few weeks ago, a lot of Albertans,
appallingly, were still willing to forgive Klein for throwing a Liberal policy
book at a page in the legislature. Who wouldn't get frustrated by those
dastardly Liberals, radio talk shows babbled. But reaction to Oberg's
defiance seems different. On Friday, Oberg said two years is too long to wait
for Klein to go. People in his riding are rallying behind him. Letter writers
say Klein went too far by tossing out Oberg for saying what he thinks. In this
one-party state, where so few people say what they really think, that's an
interesting reaction. But he's done the party a big favour by shaking it
up before next week's leadership review. Klein thought he was in for a
cakewalk. " spratt@thejournal.canwest.com

Why is the Conservative leaders and their

a gag order. If he doesn’t trust them, why should we? A good question.
On top of that the gag order has become an poor excuse for ministers not doing
much good for us citizens.. Harper recently gave the PMO authority to tell
elected cabinet ministers exactly how to hold their tongues in public who in
turn perceived that is a right to now next gag the citizens who complain and
to tell them to take the useless ministers of any mailing lists from the
citizens own complaints. want to read more?"

"Stupid citizens of Canada now clearly again got deceived by
another pretender, liar to Canada's throne. Mr Harper etc. Deal
also with illegals, and those pervese, lying no good immigration consultants
who for moey lie to their clietns and break their hopes and dreams Today marks
the end of the line for the Ferreira family. With all avenues to stay in
Canada exhausted — Joe, Elizabeth and their children, 18 and 21, are expected
to board a flight to Portugal. The family lost a gamble that began when they
decided to stay in Toronto illegally after a 1999 vacation, thereby embarking
on a doomed dialogue with Immigration Canada from their place in the
underground economy. Theirs is an unfortunate tale and a cautionary one
for those who spend thousands of dollars on bad-apple immigration consultants
who advise (as in this case) to apply as political refugees from a country
with a good human rights record. And they're not alone. As the Trotno Star
reported last week, scores of other illegal immigrants, many of whom have
worked for years in Canada, have received recent deportation notices in what
is perceived to be a new climate of "rush, rush, rush" to get them out of
Canada. The citizens requests and complainbts are avery 'low-priority' for
this self centered, rather matrubating Conservative government Many people
also now sympathetic to the Ferreiras perceive a certain irony in years of
paying taxes while being nudged out of the country. Some criticized a shift in
thinking under "Heartless Harper," as one reader called new Conservative Prime
Minister Stephen Harper. Others stressed that the role of undocumented workers
in the underground economy is well established — the oil essential to a
smooth-running machine. : "If it weren't for the Italians and Portuguese,
where would the construction industry be now?" . He ruled out blanket amnesty
last year but promised to take other options to his Liberal cabinet
colleagues. And, while Tory Immigration Minister Monte Solberg has been on the
job only two months, it was not promising last week when he said that Volpe's
red-flagged issue had "low priority" for to find a way to "regularize"
undocumented workers While we differ on the contribution of undocumented
workers, many of us are unanimous contribution about our useless, pretentious,
ineffective new Conservative Ministers in Ottawa and elsewhere."

.."publicly losing their
sanity having lost the election" Take a look at the numbers - a
MAJORITY voted AGAINST Harper. You may have the Prime Ministership but WE have
the hearts and minds of Canadians (oh and a majority of SEATS). Who lost? and
just look at how the redeneck losers behave, respond, they resort to name
calling, slander, more undemocratic abuses showing us all here what big poor
losers they are like still. Sad Sad Sad

To the Conservative, BQ, NDP,
Liberal MPs and supporters. The next federal Government too
will likely be a minority one again. I tend to be wise, simple,
effective and not just because I am honest, mature but I have no hidden
discriminatory, abusive agendas as well. I openly do advocate freedom,
liberty, justice, democracy, honesty, fair play, effectiveness and not
pretense. I also do not show partiality wrongfully to a majority
or a particular minority like Mr. P MacKay, or Ms. B Stromach's power,
fame agenda as well. The next federal Government will be a
minority one again, and I have said it before, and I will say it again.
Canadians and easterners, Quebecers do have 3 things in Common,
they do not like dictatorship or aggressors, they desire peaceful living, and
they do mainly prefer a socialistic democracy. A government that fairy,
equally looks after the good welfare of all the persons in Canada, including
the young and old, rich or poor, male and female. Simple too. And for
very sure we presently do not have any such thing in Canada as our
undemocratic leader the PM Mr. Harper clearly demonstrated that to us
all.

Here is another undeniable unacceptable
and perverse fact
When you access the supposed free speech,
democratic site of http://canadiancoalition.com/forum/ccd-forum.shtml
the sysop accesses your own personal computer to find all of the personal
information about you, an unlawful invasion of privacy without ones prior
permission, and this the federal Conservative government and it's Justice
Minister, the RCMP should look into. The same sysop who himself is not
impartial, but another one of these self proclaimed Conservative supporter, a
basher and abuser, who makes salnderous personal attacks on the posters rather
than deal with the facts presented, he even has admitted to spying now on
others in one of his post too.
I rightfully would like Alberta's human
rights also to review these matters too as well as the Justice
department
