PM Stephen Harper Ties The Knot With 3 Prorogations Since Taking Office

[no caste]

I hope the opposition kicks Harper's as* out the door when Parliament convenes. Do any Canadians have any feelings about this March dates/ topic confluence, because this one inquiry is continuing during prorogation.

CPCCA INQUIRY PANEL TO CONTINUE THROUGH PROROGATION
CPCCA Inquiry Panel to hear additional witnesses including Hon. Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism
(January 11th, 2010)
The Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism will continue to hear testimony from professionals throughout the Canadian justice and law enforcement system as it prepares to wrap up its hearings... Once the hearings are completed the Inquiry Panel will write a report to be published and presented to the Government of Canada in the spring of 2010.

Also, The Goldstone Report in March 2010.

Israel has insisted that the author, South African Judge Richard Goldstone, is an “anti-semite” for penning the report, and the government has insisted its backers in the UN are also anti-semites which seeks to see the Jews slaughtered.

U.N. Council Compromises Over Gaza Report Debate

But action was postponed until March after U.S. pressure aimed at getting the peace process back on track. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has come under sharp criticism at home for agreeing to the delay.

Also, it's the Canada and Israel Sign Declaration to Cooperate on Public Safety Public Safety Canada, Mar 23, 2008 that was signed without public consult. That's when Cheney, Rice etc were sneaking around Israel at the same time as Stockwell Day (who signed). I'm pretty sure it's the 'law' that prevented George Galloway from visiting Canada to speak.

No Caste check out http://www.globalresearch.ca which may aid you on March dates/topic confluence...as for other ongoing enquiries even though Parliament is prorogued the New Democrats will be discussing the Afghanistan detainee's allegations of mistreatment and torture...

This letter was sent to me from Jack Layton New Democratic Leader...

Thank you for your email concerning the allegations of prisoner torture in Afghanistan. From the start, our Party believed that a public inquiry was needed. This is a serious issue that transcends political point scoring and we are working with the other opposition parties who agree with our position.

Prime Minister Harper and his Conservative government are on the run. They are running away from taking responsibility both abroad at the Copenhagen climate change talks and here at home on the detainee file. Their cynical move to prorogue Parliament in order to avoid taking responsibility has left many Canadians deeply disappointed.

Although Parliament is prorogued, New Democrat will be advancing the detainee issue. We plan to:
- take part in hearings with the Liberals and Bloc Québécois in Ottawa; the first hearing is scheduled for Feb 3rd
- participate in weekly press conferences
- engage the Canadian public in debate about the war in Afghanistan

New Democrats have been raising concerns about prisoner transfers in Afghanistan since 2006. For more information, please refer to: http://www.ndp.ca/press/timeline-new...ghan-prisoners.

The bottom line is this: when we send our brave soldiers into combat we must be absolutely certain the orders they are given by our government are beyond reproach. The rules on the handling of detainees are the responsibility of the federal government. Transferring detainees to those whom are likely to torture them is a violation of international law. It is the Conservative government who must be held to account.

Again, I appreciate hearing from you. Feel free to share my response with anyone who may be interested. All the best.

Sincerely,


Jack Layton, MP (Toronto-Danforth)
Leader, Canada's New Democrats

A lot there. thanks!
- 'U.S. Using Relief Mission As Pretext to Occupy Haiti' - wondering about that Argentina springboard thing myself.
- 'Israel - Threatens Palestinian Authority: ... Failure by either Israel or Hamas to conduct an open inquiry into their conduct would result in the case being referred to the International Criminal Court. oh, a time line!

Thanks for posting that! You can imagine what response I get with a CPC MP - come to the town hall meeting to talk about the budget. Who gives a f*ck about the budget when I am asking about prorogation. {sorry! I am steamed!} Anyway, it's a great comfort to read that. YAY!!

I am troubled by something. Remember when (last election, 2008) the Conservatives had this marketing strategy? They divided up the Canadian electorate into groups, segments, whatever. It was profiling, so Jane was birkinstock (forget her!), church-going mrs was blue sweater material, so on. I can't find anything online about it right now. Where were these profiles pulled from I wonder? What lists? What data? Census? Constituents' letters? Do their friends inside run plates for them? I say that because of this:

RCMP Investigated for 'Limited' Action on Conservative Eavesdropping, re Prorogue '08
http://projectavalon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17007

I guess it's all available to buy somewhere as market research. What I am troubled by is people or constituents used as unwitting focus groups, say community events etc. It seemed very cynical to me, like the product was a vote. As a profile, do a lot of police and RCMP tend to be Conservative? Check this, for instance. Is it common practice in campaigns I wonder for all parties.

Seems like an NSA trick lol - bait and switch, black hat seo

I don't remember a time when the US took interest in Canada or, hey, vice versa. This Conservative movement seems to have a lot of solidarity amongst x-border Christian evangelical folks, that's for sure. In my estimate, sites like the first one are the work of paid professionals (internet marketing, bad practices), e.g. bait and switch like that. It's not volunteer looking at all. It's also expensive to procure. Anyway, I don't like it. Telling my MP doesn't seem like a great idea either.

Just lamenting, I guess
