Hey MacKay! "It is not a kind of speech that should begin to be chilled at this point."

Because it could be true.  And Van Loan says spreading rumours is “part of normal discourse” and “ is not a kind of speech that should begin to be chilled at this point." 

So really, MacKay, check with Van Loan before mouthing off something like this -

“Minister MacKay has had his character and personal reputation attacked,” spokesman Jay Paxton said. “Minister MacKay is looking into legal options against those who have attacked his integrity.”

But posturing and mouthing off is probably all MacKay is doing.  You know, that whole wronged thing linked to the tough pseudo stolen military image he’s been trying to adopt.  There’s more than enough proof to indicate he has been lying and abusing resources and public funds.  Including treating DND like his personal research team. 


Oh...and about your integrity, Airshow?  No one can attack something that doesn't exist.

Holy South Park, Batman!

Like a really, really annoying Cartman episode -

Seriously.  How many pictures of Harper on the phone do we have to pay for to stay informed?  How many staged shots of Stevie must come out of our tax dollars in his endless quest for a majority so that he can completely destroy our democracy and force his narrow, atavistic ideology into all aspects of our lives.

How many more.  How, how many more?

Meanwhile, as Steve is gettin' the job dun doing real important shit and making sure we see him in all his glory and many variations of The Phone Call, news average Canadians don't give a shit about -

Transport Canada says no new incidents or intelligence information prompted its security branch to send a "vigilance" notice to airlines, airports and the federal agency in charge of airport screening a week ago—contradicting statements by Transport Minister John Baird and Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan. 

So, as I said a few days ago, these terrorist scares are bull shit, most likely spewed out by Baird and The Mouth Van Loan at Steve's orders to divert attention from what monumentally, undemocratic, lying fuck-ups they and their entire party are, and to shove through appalling changes to security that violate our rights and freedoms.

And just in case any of you are about to scream about those Liberal appointed public servants at Transport Canada just trying to give those poor Conservatives a hard time by making this story up -

The statements from the two ministers, claiming the government was of aware of new information about potential terrorist activity, appear also to have diverged from security assessments at the time by the Transportation Security Administration in the United States.

And if the Americans are saying that Baird and Van Loan are lying sacks of shit, it must be so.

In  case Johnny and Petey try to say they simply both, through sheer coincidence miss-spoke, take noote that during interviews held days later, both confirmed what they had said earlier.

Dewar and Holland had a few words to say, explaining that the government needs to be honest about security risks, they owe it to Canadians, and that by exaggerating risks for political reasons, people won't know what to believe when a real security risk is announced.

Really.  Considering the many, many cases of misinformation and outright falsehoods Steve & Co. have prompted, we should just assume everything they tell us is a lie.
