I mean should any of this come as a shock?!. I mean when was the last
time you saw a Conservative MP
who was a woman, visible minority, Aboriginal, Quebecois, or non-Anglo
White such as Italian-Canadian,
Greek-Canadian, Portugese-Canadian, ect condemn abortion rights?. When
was the last time you saw a Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, or Sikh
Conservative shoot their mouth off?!. How come you NEVER hear
anti-gay or anti-abortion comments from Conservative MP's from Quebec
such as Lawrence Cannon,
Jean-Pierre Blackburn, Sylvie Boucher, Daniel Petit, Josée Verner,
Bernard Généreux, or Pascal-Pierre Paillé?. Its ALWAYS the FUCKING
White Anglo Saxon Protestant MALE from Western Canada!.
FUCK Western Canada!

Tory critics link abortion and jobless comments, call government out
of touch

OTTAWA - Opposition critics are taking aim at what they say are out-of-
touch, ideologically driven Conservative MPs, citing recent comments
on the unemployed and abortion emerging from government ranks.
Tory MP Gerald Keddy's crack about the jobless on Halifax streets
being "no-good bastards" raised opposition ire in the House of Commons
on Tuesday. But it was a news release on abortion services from
Saskatchewan Conservative Maurice Vellacott that had other government
opponents fuming.
Vellacott, a former evangelical pastor, recently praised the shortage
of doctors performing abortions in Saskatoon. And in the release, he
asserted that "pro-life feminists have come to see abortion as part of
a male agenda to have women more sexually available."
Liberal MP Anita Neville called Vellacott's argument "atrocious" and
deeply disrespectful of both women and men.
She accused Vellacott of having a "very right-wing, somewhat
Neanderthal agenda" and said Keddy's comment on the unemployed and
Vellacott's anti-abortion arguments are "all a part of a disrespect
for people."
"There's no greys, there's no sense of compassion, there's no sense of
openness and a generosity of spirit."
Liberal MP Scott Brison, a former Progressive Conservative, said the
famously tight messaging of the Harper Conservatives appears to be
slipping and what's emerging is a government agenda "that is mean,
that is narrow, and is not reflective of broad-based progressive
Canadian values."
Quipped Brison: "I think the problem with Conservatives is that 90 per
cent of them give the other 10 per cent a bad name."
New Democrat Megan Leslie agreed that with no immediate election in
the offing and the Conservative government riding relatively high in
public opinion polls above the struggling Liberals, "their true
colours are coming out."
Leslie suggested Prime Minister Stephen Harper's current busy
international travel schedule is cutting Conservative MPs some slack.
"They aren't being silenced, and they've been very silenced by this
prime minister," said Leslie.
"Maybe it's because he's out of town."
Keddy apologized Tuesday for his comment on the unemployed.

Remaining garbage removed!!
Is it any wonder that most of us on this board question Fraud Old
Boob's sanity??
Wow! Bob must be feeling particularly lonely and worthless this
week. He's being even more obvious and hamhanded in his trolling than
usual.
I hope I have better things to do in the final years of my life than
recycle cut-n-paste diatribes I wrote years ago on Usenet newsgroups
and read Toronto Star articles. It's funny too how he posts his
comments on the Star's website using a different name (John Lipka).
The other thing I wonder is whether he's actually been west of Toronto
(or east of Montreal for that matter).
Do you suppose Scotland paid Canada to take him off of their hands?
