You won't recognize Canada . . .

I think we've heard this song before.

Click the title link and read, as Warren Kinsella pulls out the same worn and tired Liberal red herrings as in 2006. What a shock. I thought hope, not fear, won elections. Who knew?

When the Liberals grasped at straws in 2006, suggesting that a Conservative win would make the sky crash, I wrote this (links to the post -- Activist Judges? Never).

Funny how the Liberals silly bag of tricks never holds anything new. Whether it's their promises, like Universal Child Care or their tactics, like scaring Canada into hating Harper (links to the post -- Defending Stephen Harper) or worse, trying to vilify a whole segment of Canadians for their core values (links to the post -- Expressing my views and advancing my cause) Liberals never seem to get bored with the idea that Canadians are too lazy to think.

Despite Kinsella's regurgitating old canards, Stephen Harper isn't stupid enough to dredge up dead social issues like same-sex marriage or abortion despite his personal beliefs on those issues. I think he and Conservatives believe they're done deals and that Canadians have other priorities. As for the death penalty, if that was in his nefarious plans, why build more jails when you're just gonna kill 'em all? And many rational, centrist Canadians agree with Harper on the long gun registry -- so as scary as going back to the days when farmers and hunters were running amok with unregistered guns, a lot of Canadians are okay if we revisit that.

The only ones scared right now are the Liberals.

Warren, you're starting to sound like a dinosaur.

The bigger reality is that Liberal values are no longer (if they ever were) Canada's values.

The Liberals lost Quebec in large part due to their refusal to accept responsibility for the corruption of Adscam.

The party argued that it was "those" people or "other" people. What the Liberals really meant is that it was Quebecers. The backlash has not gone away nor will it anytime soon. The Macleans article about Quebec corruption was treated as outrageous by some Libs. The sad irony is that it is their actions that led to the articles conclusions in the first place. If it is just a perception it is the Libs that put it there.

So, we are supposed to believe the Lib party, (the one that cannot gain respect in Quebec or the West because of its own exclusion and corruption) when they argue that Canadians should fear the Conservatives (the only one that can win a majority)?

One last point. The Bloc fear a Conservative majority as well. This in itself is enough reason to give the Cons. a majority. The Libs are playing right into their hands.
