I...am going to get to the truth

**link repaired
“It’s like we’re on CSI or an investigative forensic thing — who’s put the 'not' in,” (bev Oda) said.
That's what it must be then, Bev. Desppite the fact that you repeatedly defended the cuts displaying full knowledge of them, and despite the fact that you acknowledge that you sign all such ministerial correspondence.



Maybe your team can round up all the video phones in the area. Check footage. look for birds sitting near the window where the illicit document alteration happened. Zoom in on the birds' eyeballs...then...enhance, enhance, enhance.

You know how to do that, right? Enhance? Fill in between the pixels? You'll fake-up some kind of evidence.

Monster of the Week: Jason Kenney



Monster of the Week is Jason Kenney for slandering a major international aid group, thereby allowing countless people to suffer and die due to lack of funding.


Slime Minion of the Week goes to Bev Oda, who could not match her message to Kenney`s but still helped cancel that aid.

Harper says fuck you to foreign aid recipients

They don`t vote for him anyway, so what the hell.

Bad enough when you publicly accuse someone of being anti-Semitic in public.  Even worse when that affects a group`s funding and ability to perform, labeling them in the eyes of the world.

The United Church of Canada and other Canadian churches are demanding Prime Minister Stephen Harper explain why one of his cabinet ministers accused them of being anti-Semitic.

The United, Catholic and Anglican churches are part of KAIROS, an aid group that was shocked to hear Immigration Minister Jason Kenney say its funding was lifted as part of the Conservatives' effort to cut off anti-Semitic organizations.

Shocked doesn`t cover it.  Labeling them as an anti-Semitic organization?  That's lawsuit territory, CONs.

Who are these racists, these anti-Semites?

Besides the United and Anglican churches, Toronto-based KAIROS's members include the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Mennonite Central Committee - Canada.  Working with 21 partner organizations around the world, KAIROS sponsors projects promoting social and economic justice in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.

KAIROS is committed to relieve suffering across the planet, regardless of creed or colour.  Because they made some statements opposing the CON support of countries engaging in human rights violations (mining) and because they expressed concern over some of the actions committed by the Israeli army, and because they spoke out about the destruction caused by oilsands development, they have become yet another group on the growing list of people and agencies targeted by Harper`s campaign to silence anyone who does not promote his narrow ideology and personal, political goals.

The cost of allowing this war on anything but Harper to continue is high.

Gerry Barr, president of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation, said Kenney's remarks have compromised the integrity of the Canadian International Development Agency's entire foreign aid funding operation.

"There needs to be a larger discussion about CIDA's decision-making than merely what's happened to KAIROS, but KAIROS would be the classic example," said the Liberals' John McKay.   Based on KAIROS's experience, McKay said, a non-governmental organization "could be absolutely welded to the 'priorities' of the government as stated by Minister Oda, but if you fall outside of the government's particular dictum of political correctness, you're toast."

So it`s fuck you to people in desperate need of help if anyone connected to that aid dares to tell the truth about Harper`s human rights violations.
