CFN – Oh Liz!
I know that the Green Party leader enjoys the odd tipple of red.
I mean, who really doesn’t, especially if you’re pooped, but certainly once you’ve had enough it’s probably not best to move in front of a microphone as the BC MP surely is discovering the morning after the night before.
Watching the video, other than the f bombs there was some slurring of the speech and strange nasal snorts…
Liz, Liz, Liz. While you’ve uttered an apology, you messed up. As much as you’ll be remembered for your political career, which isn’t going to be too huge, sadly those that do remember you will remember this evening most.
Talking about your artificial hip, rambling attacks at Stephen Harper….and Omar Khadr?
This man is no hero. He may have been young, but he did what he did. There are many in Canada that deserve a first chance. Do we really have to give second chances to terrorists? Honestly?
While I agree with you that many in Parliament are class challenged, tossing grenades trumps most of their sins each and every day. And your speech, well do you really want to class that one?
PS Welcome Back Kotter wasn’t black and white. 🙂
What do you think dear CFN viewers? Should Elizabeth May resign over her rant? You can post your comment below.
Speaking the truth is bizarre now? Great video given the occasion, until Ms. Raitt appeared.
I agree PJ. The annual Ottawa Press Gallery Dinner has always been an event where the press and politicians get together to party, put on skits and say silly stuff OFF THE RECORD. It’s understood that the shenanigans that happen on that one night will not be reported on. That’s the whole idea of the event.
That said, I agree with May’s take on Khadr and Harper’s f—— cabinet. Might switch my vote to Green in October.
Another nail in her drunken fluff bunny and rainbow dreams.
Exactly Furtz.
Vote for Kermit the frog – he’s green. About your speed Furtz?
This Greeny woman would be a good laugh something that we haven’t seen since “The Canadian Air Farce”. CBC get yourself on the ball and this crazy woman can make your station big money.
And if I respond to Newton’s asinine juvenile insult, I will be blocked. Oh well, it’s your sandbox Jamie.
That sure is true Pastor. Rivet, rivet, rivet. La grenouille dans l’étang sauté, sauté tout le temps. LOL LOL. English translation “the frog is in the pond, jumping, jumping, jumping all the time. That was a little song from the days of my elementary school. Gee this old lady of 64 can remember some things from way back when and I have a hard time to remember yesterday. LOL LOL. ROLF!
Furtz: I only commented about what you wrote “Might switch my vote to Green in October”. I think Kermit would do a better PR job than the current Green leader. And if Kermit got in a bind, he would not have to curse, and then blame it on, oh well. Wait a minute,Kermit could blame it on Miss Piggy, that will work! A step towards true accountability!
Pastor some years ago (can’t remember just when I said this) but I mentioned that I had a good idea and put Jamie’s little Fitzie as mayor of Cornwall. As for PM I might put the little dog on my street in that job and all would work out for the better since you cannot trust any human being at all. LOL LOL. ROLF!
Rx medications and alcohol.
Elizabeth May has pushed all the work that she and the Green Party back by at least five years.
Have you travel outside of Canada? Engaged in a conversation of politics with an individual from another country? Now after viewing Ms. May and attempting to consider the perspective of an intelligent foreigner is there any doubt that Ms. May is an embarrassment to all intelligent Canadians. If not, I would suggest reviewing her “talk” again and rethinking the logic of your opinion.
David, May doesn’t hold a candle to Harper and his government when in comes to being a national embarrassment in the eyes of the world. In fact, she is getting positive comments about her assessment of Harper’s cabinet in some mainstream media.
Mr. Oldham never talk politics outside of Canada in countries like the Middle East as well as in Mexico, Central and South America because they pick you up wherever you are and make you disappear. In the Middle East and the countries of S. America, etc. people talk politics only among family in their own home but never outside for others to hear. That is something to be very careful about. One day about 5 years or so ago my husband asked his now deceased sister who was going to become president and the telephone line was cut since all calls are listened to. I thought that I would add this precaution in to you even if you are speaking face to face other ears are listening.
Furtz….totally agree with your comments of May 13, 2015 at 2:28 pm. I’d say the embarrassment is Stephen Harper. Elizabeth May have imploded her political career and set the GReen Party back for a bit.
Jules, we’re in Canada. So, we can talk about politics.
Really Furtz of what importance or relevance does a party leader (two seats) have? None, which is why we have a four seat rule for participation in formal debates. Besides with a left leaning media (for the most part) would you really expect any different coverage. I do understand that Harper is not your cup of tea, I only wish that more people shared your passion and formulated a carefully thought out political opinion.
“I’d say the embarrassment is Stephen Harper”. don’t you mean Premier Wynne? Dalton McGuilty? So how many scandals has the Prime Minister been exposed for? Real ones, that is? The Senate? Veterans money returned to general fund? Anymore?
Now time and space would restrict me from listing all the Liberal scandals from Dalton “McGuilty” to the present premier – billions of hard earn tax money wasted. Like the Red Cross ad “it’s in us to give”, the Liberals think the same about our money that was in our pockets. And the most resent brainstorm -Ontario is bankrupt, so lets sell Hydro! Use the money from the sell of Hydro for infrastructure – right, more like the infrastructure of someone’s inside pocket. How about dropping the Green plan/ripoff/secured retirement plan for Dalton for starters!
It’s easy to spend time blaming someone who is doing a good job, when our own back yard is a big mess; more than a mess – more like the aftermath of a tornado! Not one prosecution brought forward for the Liberals for all their blatant scandal and incompetence – looks like a lot of hands are being greased! That’s right – we do get the government we deserve. Corruption only begets more corruption. Sad part about in all we enjoy wallowing in our corruption.
Psa_7:9 “Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins”.
Seriously PTN?? Yes McGuinty and McGuinty Jr have been a blight on the Ontario political landscape. But by far the bigger embarrassment has been Harper. His control freak mentality has got to go.
Show me a leader that does not exercise control. The desire for control is part of what makes a leader want to lead, hello? You don’t like his style of leadership but the last election saw the bloc party decimated and the liberal party wiped out to its lowest number of seats in their history. The two major leftist parties are likely going to be locked in a battle of existence in the next election. We may see a coalition government if the conservatives cannot maintain a majority or alternately the liberal and union parties may merge as they did in the British parliament years ago. So we will have to wait to see how the deciding majority vote. Mulcair needs to be very clear and real with his parties vision for Canada in order to increase the current 106 seats and the Liberals need a leader that can climb out the basement and swing voters that went NDP back to the fold thereby getting back in the game. The next election hinges likely more on what the NDP and Liberals do rather than how Harpers popularity rating fares. At this point it is still a crap shoot.
Note that the Supreme Court has yet again slapped Harper down today.
“Control” is one thing, a “control freak” is something totally different.
Yes, dear Stephen got slapped down again by the SCC. But yet he still continues his ways. The Cons don’t care, though, because what they’re really aiming at is looking tough before the election – their only true goal, their only real purpose, is to get re-elected.
“His control freak mentality has got to go” – but Liberal corruption is allowed to stay?
Did I ever say “Liberal corruption is allowed to stay?” No.
Your 15 yrs old
Your Father drops you in a Terrorist camp
A Foreign Gov attacks your home- u defend it
They torture you- then put a hood on your head- chain you in an Airplane- then fly you across the world to the worst Prison in the World
Your tortured again and will do ANYTHING to get out
Fifteen minutes in Guantanamo// I will admit to being Harper’s Father
Its amazing the young man we saw on Tv// after all Harper Gov attempts to keep him locked up// seems as normal as he is.
If you treated my son- the way they treated Omar- would think of hunting you down!!!!
Melman nailed it.
But seriously Melman, would you admit to being Harper’s father?
Melman: you forgot one important item -“Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right”(Pro 20:11).
Does this sound familiar – “And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat(Gen 3:11-12).
Not much has changed since the fall of man in the garden! Still blaming others, still blaming God, and yes, the ends still justify the means.
PTN: “So how many scandals has the Prime Minister been exposed for? Real ones, that is?”
According to investigative journalist Michael Harris, who writes for iPolitics, the defining moment in the 2006 debate was when Stephen Harper asked Paul Martin: “Will you tell us Mr. Martin how many criminal investigations are going on in your government?” The answer was two. If the same question was put to Harper today, the answer would be fifteen. Real ones. Harris lists them.
Furtz: “Note that the Supreme Court has yet again slapped Harper down today.”
Yes, and on top of that the Access to Information Commissioner is taking the Harper government to court for attempting to sneak through omnibus bill C-59 legislation that would retroactively cover up their criminal misdemeanor in having the RCMP destroy the long-gun registry before the legislation allowing that to happen had been passed into law. In the House yesterday Harper stood up and said it was merely a matter of “closing a loophole”–unaware, or more likely very aware, that he was setting a precedent for any government to conceal anything it didn’t want the public to know. A precedent, the Commissioner added, which if it had been in place in 2006 Paul Martin could have used to cover up the so-called sponsorship scandal. Martin chose instead to do the decent, ethical thing, and appointed a commission of enquiry with the outcome everyone knows. Harper, faced with a major cover-up scandal of his own, talks about closing a loophole.
Lawrence Martin in the Globe and Mail earlier this week wrote that if integrity is on the ballot in October, “the Tories are finished.”
Stephen (“I make the rules”) Harper is learning at long last, No, you don’t. Or is he? Either he is a very slow learner, or, to be blunt, he’s a pathological hypocrite and cheat, if not worse. Certainly, anyone who votes for him in October is putting their trust in very bad company. The damage Harper has done and continues to do to Canada will take years to repair.
Harper doesn’t care that his policies are overturned by the courts. His main concern now is getting re-elected in October. His attitude is “I tried, but the courts wouldn’t let me.” He’ll take that attitude into the election campaign and use that (somehow) as a selling point for his policies.
Harper has absolutely no sense of right or wrong. He has nothing but contempt for Parliament, the Constitution, and simple decency. People are finally starting to realize this, and will likely toss the bums out in October.
Hugger and Furtz we haven’t had a decent PM in a mighty long time and I doubt if we will see one in our time and beyond. The same is true in the US there are none. The last good presidents of the US were Ike Eisenhower and JFK. Who do you think is going to take over the reins for Harpoon Harpo – Justine Trudope? If things are not bad enough as they are and you want that dope head in charge? GOD HELP US ALL WE ARE LITERALLY DOONED AS WELL AS SPIRITUALLY AND MORALLY BANKRUPT!
Furtz writes – “Harper has absolutely no sense of right or wrong”. Now Furtz wrote this! The one who worships meat balls and noodles? Let take the liberty to rewrite what Furtz really meant – “Harper has absolutely no sense of right or wrong according to me”.
PJ R… writes -“The damage Harper has done and continues to do to Canada will take years to repair”. What Premier Wynne has done to Ontario is beyond repair.
Jules, no PM is perfect just like no human is perfect. However, that doesn’t mean we should have to tolerate a sociopathic leader who has no regard for the law, and has to be constantly reined in by the Supreme Court. Thank Gawd we have the Constitution and the Supreme Court to keep Dear Leader mostly in check.
Furtz you are right when you said that no leader is perfect nor any human being and the best and only law is the law of God and I can’t wait for Him to take over the reigns because people cannot run themselves but only into the ground. As for Harpoon Harpo he always had a horrible character and never listened to the laws nor to anyone but his own pig head and yes it gets him into big trouble. I can just see the boondoggle that Justine Trudope will cause.
Jules, once a discussion gets sidetracked by religious mumbo-jumbo, it’s pretty much cooked. The irony here is that Harper the sociopath is also a devout born-again god-fearing believer!
And on that note CFN will remind our viewers to please post on the subject of the story. If there’s a subject you wish to discuss you can email us info@cornwallfreenews.com or submit a letter to the editor. Thanks
Harper’s time has come. But whom is the best to be PM? I think it’s the least of several evils.
Furtz I agree with you about Harpo and yes he is a sociopath. My daughter has pneumonia again and this is the first time that she is asking to go to the hospital. I will take her in and my husband will drive us in with my son.
Hugger, at this point it looks like Mulcair is the most qualified to run the show.
Jules, I hope your daughter gets well quickly.
Furtz thank you about my daughter. We just came in after taking 3 buses to get home and it was like riding on the Autoban in Germany. LOL LOL. My husband drove us to the Ottawa General Hospital and came home. My daughter has a virus and this morning the doctor at the walk in clinic gave her the wrong medicine. We were worried about a repeat of pneumonia but thank God it was just a virus.
I agree with you about Mulcair being the only one who is qualified as PM other than Harpoon Harpo. I think that Harpo was imitating Bush Jr. and I also think that he is burned out on that job. Justine Trudope is wrong for that job and they need people with a great deal of experience in the political field and with the education.
Is Prime Minster Harper “a devout born-again god-fearing believer”? A devout born-again God-fearing believer in his position of leadership would find a way to stop abortion, but again and again he has side step to address this grave issue. A devout born-again God-fearing believer in his position of leadership would have done all he could to derail same-sex marriage, but again he has turned aside to stand by and watch the destruction of the family, and the rejection of wholesome biblical family values. “Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?”(Jer 5:9).
As our Prime Minister, he will have to answer for such grave errors in judgment, and why he has consistently compromise the Word of God to the Great God of Heaven personally. No man or woman, no matter the rank, shall escape the judgment of God. The wrath of God is already upon us. Will God spare? Why should He?
“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”(1Pe 4:16-18).
Yes Newton. Harper will burn for eternity in the fiery lake. 🙂
OK admin back to “the subject of the story”–Elizabeth May and the media fuss about a 9 minute speech that spoke a lot of truth and–big deal–ran off the rails at an unbuttoned dinner party. The same media that with rare exceptions keeps giving a contemptible autocrat the nod to continue degrading a whole country. Where are their priorities? Where their sense of perspective and proportion? With our media’s help, Canada is fast becoming a bad joke in the eyes of the world.
Not so Furtz – you are so ignorant of the basics of the Christian faith for sure. Does the smile face express your sadistic pleasure in seeing someone cast in to hell? You far out stretch me in such unloving desires.
Are you quite sure of that PJ? Remember Mr. Trudeau just supported Bill C-51. Mr. Harper didn’t vote on that,right?
Supporting C-51 has been Trudeau’s biggest screw-up so far. Mulcair can’t wipe the grin off his face.
True, Newton. I’ve never been a scholar of fairy-tales or myths. LOL ROLF ROLF etc. 🙂
P.J.Robertson talks about the Liberal “adscam” and the Conservative cancellation of the long gun registry in the same sentence as if somehow comparable or connected…and then I realized they were…both were of Liberal design and both have been dealt with appropriately. Well stated P.J.
As to Lawrence Martin, he like all other politically inclined individuals knows how integrity among other challenges lead to the most crushing blow being dealt to the Liberals in the last federal election (what was it…37 seats?). Is he simply not considering how history can and does repeat itself? He can always correct the party selection later.
Sure of what admin? Sorry, you’ve lost me. What do Trudeau’s support of C-51 and Harper’s vote have to do with any comment of mine on this thread, or with Ms. May, “the subject of the story?”
