Yellowstain Harper: A liar worthy of Contempt!

Harper will try to tell you his government fell on a budget that was never debated. He will try to tell you that there is a conspiracy afoot to unseat him. He will try to tell you that Jets, Jails, & corporate tax cuts are what you need. He will tell you, after challenging his main opponent to a 1:1 debate, that he's yellowstaining it because that “train has left the station”. He will tell you he knew nothing of his top political adviser's criminal past. He will tell you he knows nothing of why his Conservative campaign is doing background checks on attendees and forcibly removing some of them from his appearances. He will tell you his plan to keep the $6BILLION in Canadian Corporate tax cuts are good for you and your family. He, in short, will tell you anything! AND he will be lying! It's all lies... Stephen "Yellowstain" Harper is quite simply a LIAR! Proof? See here:

Corporate tax cuts don't spur growth, analysis reveals as election pledges fly

Already deemed to be in CONTEMPT of our democracy by the MAJORITY of our duly elected parliamentarians, Stephen Harper has no shame, he simply continues his streak... he is, quite simply, a contemptuous LIAR!

Globe & Mail reports: "Harper’s top aide being linked to in-and-out scandal"

Read and wonder... is this the kind of accountability he promised us?

Anyone remember February 2006? "Canada's next prime minister said his first act in Parliament will be to propose a federal accountability act." HA! What a joke that turned out to be.

Five years on, and too many scandals to mention, it is clear to all rational Canadians with ears and/or eyes that Harpo's words and actions are as cheap, tawdry, and empty as a whore's promise of love when the money (i.e. the vote) is the issue. His faux commitment to transparency is, like everything else about the man, notable only for its absence. With no heart and no shame ... all that he covets is political gain. Fuck him, let's tell him his run is done!

The Oda Odor begets yet another alternate Tory reality sideshow.

Faced with the fact that Oda's lying version of events over the Kairos affair has set off Canada's collective bullshit meter, Stephen Harper is at it again. With Harpo & Co's current PC Minister of Misremembering (Bev Oda) seemingly truth challenged the PMO has decided to invoke Rule#1 from the PC Emergency Political Playbook (aka PEPP).

For those of you unclear on Harpo & Co.'s PEPP Rule#1, it reads:

"Should our government or any of our amoral minions be caught in the act of deceiving the Canadian public:

a.) it shall be the official policy of this PMO to immediately employ all the obfuscating ideological trained spin-monkeys at our disposal to invent a faux alternate reality to explain away why the facts don't matter.

b.) This new gospel, this narrative of nonsense if you will, is to then be distributed to all our sitting turnips, ... err... that is, to our Ministers of the Crown and the Cockus.

c.) Said PC turnips, sycophants, yes-men, and assorted mimics are then to spread out like a pathogen across the land and throughout the media-sphere to endlessly and shamelessly champion the new talking points. The new gospel is to be disseminated to ALL.

d.) Internal questions as to the veracity of the new narrative will not be entertained, and any effort to apply logic and/or integrity to this process is strictly VERBOTEN!"

Given today's news in the Montreal Gazette it would seem the rule is in play. The PC spin wizards are again trying to baffle us with bullshit - "Operation Oda: To sanitize, deodorize, and minimize" has indeed begun!

Really, were we to expect anything better from Harpo & Co.? Sadly, the answer is no.

Screaming Mad & "Going Postal": Canada Post Lies!!!!

[as originally posted 11/26/08 on my formerly free thinking blog http://tworippingarseholes.blogspot.com/ ]

Oh, no! Horror of horrors!
Our time sensitive Express-Post material is late!
An absolute must - we need to track it down ASAP.
No problem. We have tracking # - how hard could it be?

Oops, as Satan would have it, Canada Post's tracking website is down - message reads:



Arrgh...

No problem, ...

We'll call & sort it out because, according to Canada Post, "If you require assistance" all one need do is "contact our Customer Relationship Network at 1-888-550-6333" .... ["relationship network"???] Odd, whatever happened to just plain customer service?

Dialing,
tic-a-tic-a-tic,
dialing, ....
One ringy-dingy,
two ringy-dingies,
three ringy-dingies,
four ringy-dingie... oh, here's the automated voice [let the obsfucation begin], 4 minutes of navigating stale automated voice crap; then this:

"We are currently experiencing extended wait times due to extenuating circumstances, we assure you that these circumstances have absolutely no impact on the delivery of your mail. However we are operating with limited telephone service ... We ask that you listen carefully to the following instructions....." [Actual verbatim quote from 1-888-550-6333. Check it out!]

ALAS, TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES and three cigarettes LATER, finally a human voice! Glory we are saved!
Oops!
Not so quick.
We soon realize the voice on the other end is simply magnificent in its unswerving commitment to the art of exuding blandness:

Her: "[sigh] Mrs. Pain-in-the ass - [sigh - long disinterested pause]... howww may I help you?"

We: "Hi, our Express-Post time sensitive material containing the frozen seed of Louis Riel is missing can you help us?"

Her: "Well have you tried our website tracking?"

We: "Yes, but..."

Her: "Well, I have no more information than that on the website..."

We: "But Ma'am, as we were trying to say... the website is down...."

Her: "Are you sure?"

We: "No we're just making this up because it's fun...'

Her: "No need for that... [sigh] ... do you have ... [yawn] ...the tracking #?"

We: "Yes, it is BA388694266FU."

Her: "Okay, ... [tap, tap tap] I'm sorry I have no such record...."

We: "Ma'am are you sure?"

Her: "Yes, you must have the wrong tracking #... I have no listing for C-Charlie, E-Echo, 388694266, D-Delta, W-Wanker."

We: "But that is not the tracking # we just gave you."

Her: "Are you sure?"

We: "Yes. Again the tag is B-Banal, A-Absurd, 388694266, F-Fucking, U-Unbelievable."

Her: "Oh, ... oh, sorry 'bout that, ... oh, I do see it here, but I have no information other than it was supposed to be there yesterday."

We: "Yes, we know that...."

Her" I'm sorry, I have no other information ... [pause] ... again, have you tried our website?"

Apoplectic, we tear our vintage 1970s phone out of the wall screaming insanely....

[n.b. two days later we are told our item has gone out twice and now is being sent back..... fuck!]

OKAY, we get it!
Canada Post is experiencing yet another strike.
Company bad - union good. Union bad - company good.
Blah, blah, blah, ... Who cares? Doesn't seem to be a saint on either side of this divide. When it comes to the relative merits of the present dispute we have no opinion. However, when Canada Post deigns to proclaim "that mail delivery will continue as normal" then, in light of our experience this week, we are compelled to call a spade a spade.

Canada Post management is LYING.

Fuck Canuck Post and its lies! It is misleading Canadians about level of services during strike!


[Below actual copy of web tracking for our item ... BTW, we are giving good odds on any bets that think our vital package containing the DNA fragments of Louis Riel's nocturnal emissions (onto his 1885 prison blanket) will arrive on time for us to clone him. Any takers?]
