The guy meeting with Rahim Jaffer sort of didn't know that the blond with him was his wife Helena Guergis - and thought that she was there for entertainment. They both met when they were Tory MPs and Helena proposed to Rahim right after he lost his seat. Rahim once tried to be in two places at once by getting an aid to impersonate him on the radio.
Her husban Rahim Jaffer got busted last year drunk driving and cocaine possesion, and they let him off, his wife is a bit better at hiding it though. I still think Harper`s a crook though.
This whole thing has holes in it. With the current standing with the conservative i highly doubt this as any honesty to it ,because i think the people Harper targeted had dirt on his ass.
This crazy woman is still running under the conservative party in the riding just north of mine... and dumb fucks are putting her sign out!!!!!1 why!!!?
I like we are upgrading our jet fighters, I don't like that we have forces fighting in libya, as for the afgan prisoners, torcher them till they talk, i don't like the longgun registery, i think liberal will form the next government, but by how much?
I guess Im a sicko. I didnt knock Clinton for pot use or the Lewinski thing, I didnt even flinch when I heard this. Shame on the people who havent done a few lines off hookers I guess.
@kooooolmatt Conservatives in America for the most part will not debate the issues instead they choose to destroy people so that the political position they support goes down with them! "Obama is not a citizen" as an example of how they play politics...It sounds like the same is being done to this woman in Canada & that is why I said what I said...If I made a mistake please tell me. If you simply do not like what I said, I can't do anything about that.
@Viracocha711 no, it's not a conservative hit job. Both Guergis and her husband Rahim Jaffer were stars in the conservative party (even though Jaffer just lost an election) _until_ it was revealed that Jaffer had all sorts of shady business dealings with mafia-esque types where he claimed he had the ear of the PM. Jaffer was also pulled over with some coke and Guergis threw a hissy fit at an airport. No doubt her and her husband are dirty but I'm sure there's lots more dirt we don't know about.
@Viracocha711 First of all they were both republican. Second I would of done the same thing if someone was acting like that except I would of talked to the Lady first n if she was acting like that I wouldn't someone in my party like that. If it wasn't true wow who made up that crap. Also Both sides do it. I hear it all the time by liberals. I support conservative ideas but I do not support when people bash people personally. They do debate the issues and I see alot of bashing on Liberal side.
@Viracocha711 Obama hasnt shown his birth certificate. There was a lil debate that he wasnt born in hawaii but in Kenya. His grandmother said she thought it was in Kenya but there are also stories in Hawaii newspapers that he was born there and he released something that wasnt a birth certificate but said he was born there. Me i think W/E Even if he wasnt we cant stop him now or really uncover the real evidence probably but im sure he was. Just raises question. Peps use it for political reasons.
@Viracocha711 I have heard "Conservatives are for the rich and not the middle class or poor." "Conservatives want to kill woman, children and old people." so i hope u dont think it doesn't happens by the liberals.
@kooooolmatt I'm not sure what your point is? But I will say this...In America & from what I know about Canada Conservatives are 100% for the wealthy/Corp. Do I think Conservatives want to kill women, Children & Elderly? NO! But their policies, especially the one's proposed in America that would eliminate programs designed to help the elderly & disabled would do great harm to these people who would be left with little to medical care & that could be deadly! Liberals fight to keep these programs!
@Viracocha711 My point is dont hold up the Liberals up so high. They do it too. Also its usually certain people that do it not everyone in the party. Also conservatives are not 100% for the very wealthy and business. The idea of giving tax breaks to right and business is not to make poor people suffer. It is to help poor actually. The rich are the ones with the business and money to support other business (through buying products and Stock).
@Viracocha711 Giving tax breaks to the rich will help bring their business into our country instead of a different one. The reason Business is going over sea's is because they can make more money. The high taxes and regulations scare away business. We want business here. I have never been hired by a poor person before. Have you?
@Viracocha711 So the more business there is in the country the more jobs that are available which means more jobs for middle class and poor. So giving tax breaks to rich and business helps them and poor out. Everyone is richer. Now with programs to support poor, elderly and disabled right now we are in huge debt. This is because gov has been spending more then they make. The programs they would cut now would not ruin poor, elderly and disables.
@Viracocha711 Also the more government programs to help support people the more reliant they are on the government instead of themselves. This creates less productivity. Lets say I give you money for not working. Your getting money for not being productive. This causes no more wealth then there already was & would make u dependent on me. If I keep giving you money u will have less incentive to make your own money which creates more wealth.
@Viracocha711 The more programs designed like this puts USA further in dept, creates more people dependent on government, and creates no more or less wealth. So in fact if there were less gov programs, more tax breaks on rich and business, and less regulations there would be more wealth, jobs, and less people dependent on gov, bringing gov more money. Instead the Liberals want to raise taxes, have more programs. Some of the programs will raises taxes even more and on everyone.
@Viracocha711 This creates the opposite effect. Less jobs, less business, less wealth, more dependents on gov, poor are poorer and government is further is debt. We need less government programs now. Another reason I do not like government programs is because they usually do not work well, take more money away from people, and have a tendency to not work.
@kooooolmatt IF what you said were true I would agree with you but it is simply not true! In America our Medicare & Social Security have worked very well! But with any program or business model it has to be tweak with time! If we did what you wanted then there would be elderly people dying in the streets & babies starving to death not to mention all the other problems that would come with! Canada has a very good Health Care System but like I said it needs to be tweaked with time!
@Viracocha711 There use to be 16 workers for every retiree but now there is only two workers for every retiree. The system is busting. There is a problem with it. Medicare does cover seniors but its not that great. Its a one size fits all idea, money is a problem with it especially with the baby boomers not going into retirement age. They are rationing. It will take longer to get the money for an individual.
@Viracocha711 Also u proved my point. I want more private business. I want competition between business. I want people to shop around for what is best for themselves. People can choose what works best for them. Government has been regulating and restricting business and driving them away. This is horrible for the country. Government has also been getting people more dependent on them and I want the opposite.
@Viracocha711 If I had it my way the elderly, woman, parents would take home more of their own money. Spend it where they want to. If they wanted insurance they would choose which company, and what kind of coverage they wanted. So my idea would have people paying for their own coverage of health insurance, with the kind they wanted. How is this bad? U proved my point by saying elderly and babies would DIE if we had it your way. When in actuality they might be better off.
@Viracocha711 Canada does not have that great of health system. It takes much longer to get cared for then here, they have to ration the money, and people have gotten worse or even died because of the inefficiency. The old and very sick see less of the money and private insurance is very expensive there. So the only option is an inefficient system to choose from. Sure everything is basically paid for but you get what u pay for.
@Viracocha711 Ive heard stories of people talking about how long it took to do this or people getting more problems because they had to wait for their opperation. Ive heard people waiting hours and hours to get care for simple things that takes much less time here to get.
@kooooolmatt Like I said there are problems with every system & I think the problems you are talking about are not the norm. How about in America if you are really sick you get NO CARE without insurance or money! Would you rather wait a while or simply not get any care? I think we both would choose to wait if we had to. "FOR PROFIT" Health Care is damn good health care if you happen to have the money for insurance or are rich & can pay out of pocket!
@Viracocha711 Ive heard from both sides. People who like the canadian system and people who dont. The reason people like it is because they get care for what ever operation they need. People who don't, look at the bad side of how long it takes even for things that are very serious and can lead to worse health problems or sometimes death.
@Viracocha711 With universal health care it is super cheap for one person. When things are this cheap and advertised as "free" people will tend to use it more. The more use the more money it costs. This creates more rationing, more crowded hospitals, longer waits. Also gov tends to not run a business well. Already in USA health care costs are one of the most expensive things. Even Obama said this. They are cutting back on medicare and medicaid. More rationing and waits are already here.
@Viracocha711 You want a gov that already is spending to much, with health care that is considered not the best quality and is going to cut back on it and u want to give it to anyone? Government has a history of bad business. I dont want my insurance in their hands. I want it in someone who will have a good company.
@Viracocha711 My idea is having the market free to solve some of these problems. If the market is free and people choose their insurance company people would shop around for the best price and quality. Having more competition will bring cost down and people shopping for the right coverage for themselves will increase quality, lower price, and be able to pick the right coverage for them.
@Viracocha711 I Want to have affordable and good, fast care. Universal will not supply this. A free market can. right now in USA everyone gets health care. There are free clinics, and if someone is truly sick or badly injured and rushed to the emergency room they are treated no matter their wealth. Also don't insurance companies need to make a profit and if they dont they fail? Doesn't universal so do this and thats y it is rationed? Do people need everything paid for too?
@kooooolmatt NO NO NO everyone in America DOES NOT GET HEALTH CARE! Yes, if you are hurt really bad you get care at emergency clinic...They save you from dying. But if you need expensive care afterward you are on your own. If you get cancer you will not have access to the expensive care needed. If you need an organ transplant you won't get one. America is ranked dead last in the top 11 richest nations & 25th in world when it comes to health care!
@Viracocha711 It's true that anyone can get care. It is also true that not everyone can get any operation or what ever because of money issues. You keep stating that America health care system is not good. Well the Care is good but the affordability is not which means its hard to get the care. So yes I agree it needs change so u can stop saying that. I totally agree that everyone in America should be able to seek health care and get some. Should everyone be able to get any care needed or wanted?
@Viracocha711 I think everyone should have the oppertunity to see a doctor and get cared for. Get simple things done. But major operations or what ever that cost alot I do not think everyone should be able to get it. The reason is expense. If someone who is not paying at all but gets health care i think is not a smart idea. Not letting people have expensive health care would incourage people to get a job to afford health insurance.
@kooooolmatt PLEASE don't take this the wrong way...But when I read your last comment I said to myself this person CAN'T BE over 30yrs old. The reason is when I was 24yrs old I thought the same way if you can't afford the HC then get a job. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! I have a friend with a LAW DEGREE was making +$150,000 got Cancer his insurance dropped him a 1yr into his treatment due to how expensive it was & now can't work & is DYING! There are THOUSANDS of cases like this in America!
@Viracocha711 Yes it does happen. There should be regulations put on these insurance companies because of that issue. Also the market should get rid of the insurance companies that are bad because people will get out of them. They wont make a profit. I do think you are exactly right with thousands of cases like that. People get very ill and then when they need insurance the most its not there for them. Its tragic. Insurance companies should not be able to do that.
@Viracocha711 I dont want my insurance in the hands of the government because they are not good at running business. I think government is there to protect its people. This is one area it needs to do so. Government has done many good things to protect us. Government has also put regulations that hurt us. Government is essential but has been to envolved lately. Thats what I have a problem with.
@kooooolmatt The best health care in the world is either run by Gov. or heavily Regulated by gov. If Gov is not regulating HEALTH then it is not protecting! Seriously, think about that. Give me an example how Gov has been "too involved lately"...Or are you juts saying that because you hear it on the radio? Are you an American or Canadian?
@Viracocha711 NO. Obviously u dont understand health care from health insurance. Health care is the hospitals, clinics, doctors which in USA its best in the world. People have even come from other countries to get the best care. Health insurance in another story. This is the problem we have in america. People getting dropped and the expense of health insurance.
@Viracocha711 EX. The excessive amount of regulations causing business to go overseas or have a harder time here, the subsidies, laws restricting people of doing things. I can't remember which city but here in MN they cant hang their cloths up outside anymore. Redistribution of wealth (aka taking tax dollars and giving it to someone else.) Ex no offshore drilling. WOW Less jobs and higher gas prices from this.
@kooooolmatt The New Health Care Law will make a lot of needed improvements but we still have a long way to go in this country in terms of seeing to it everyone's health is cared for in America!
i dont see anyhting wrong with partying with prostitutes.....its the cocaine ...... he should have smoked weed with hookers that would have been much better
Well Canadian politics just got literally dirty, I wonder if this means that Canadians will start to start minding their own business and stop commenting on American politics all the time.
And just to comment on that situation itself, they fired her and didn't use anything against her or her family. That sure sounds like they took the high road to keep the dirt out as long as they could. But yet they will get slammed anyway.
It's always a double or even triple edged sword. If he announced the reasons at the time of firing he would get slammed for that. If he kept her on he would get slammed for that. Now the reasons come out and he gets slammed for that.
Politics is an never never game of smearing those you don't like and never seeing any positive in the choices they make. He got rid of her as cleanly as he could and moved on. Seems like the high road to me but we'll see I guess.
@kmg501 He would not have been criticised for keeping her over an allegation that even in testimony had no bearing whatsoever in reality.
The freaken supposed originator of the rumor said he had no proof.
Maybe some minority of stupid conservatives would hate on him for not following up on a rumor, but where is this mythical large group that would base a job on an evidenceless rumor.
@kmg501 And I follow canadian politics a decent amount and from what I have seen this smearing has gotten very bad under Harper, much moreso than ever before.
You get rid of those dang conservatives it may be in time, but they have been there awhile and your just keeping the doors open for escalation.
He didnt have to get rid of her at all and its sad your excusing the scum that is harper because a hitjob was performed on her quietly.

@Viracocha711 If I had it my way the elderly, woman, parents would take home more of their own money. Spend it where they want to. If they wanted insurance they would choose which company, and what kind of coverage they wanted. So my idea would have people paying for their own coverage of health insurance, with the kind they wanted. How is this bad? U proved my point by saying elderly and babies would DIE if we had it your way. When in actuality they might be better off.

@Viracocha711 Canada does not have that great of health system. It takes much longer to get cared for then here, they have to ration the money, and people have gotten worse or even died because of the inefficiency. The old and very sick see less of the money and private insurance is very expensive there. So the only option is an inefficient system to choose from. Sure everything is basically paid for but you get what u pay for.

@Viracocha711 Ive heard stories of people talking about how long it took to do this or people getting more problems because they had to wait for their opperation. Ive heard people waiting hours and hours to get care for simple things that takes much less time here to get.
kooooolmatt 10 months ago
@kooooolmatt Like I said there are problems with every system & I think the problems you are talking about are not the norm. How about in America if you are really sick you get NO CARE without insurance or money! Would you rather wait a while or simply not get any care? I think we both would choose to wait if we had to. "FOR PROFIT" Health Care is damn good health care if you happen to have the money for insurance or are rich & can pay out of pocket!

@Viracocha711 Ive heard from both sides. People who like the canadian system and people who dont. The reason people like it is because they get care for what ever operation they need. People who don't, look at the bad side of how long it takes even for things that are very serious and can lead to worse health problems or sometimes death.

@Viracocha711 With universal health care it is super cheap for one person. When things are this cheap and advertised as "free" people will tend to use it more. The more use the more money it costs. This creates more rationing, more crowded hospitals, longer waits. Also gov tends to not run a business well. Already in USA health care costs are one of the most expensive things. Even Obama said this. They are cutting back on medicare and medicaid. More rationing and waits are already here.

@Viracocha711 You want a gov that already is spending to much, with health care that is considered not the best quality and is going to cut back on it and u want to give it to anyone? Government has a history of bad business. I dont want my insurance in their hands. I want it in someone who will have a good company.

@Viracocha711 My idea is having the market free to solve some of these problems. If the market is free and people choose their insurance company people would shop around for the best price and quality. Having more competition will bring cost down and people shopping for the right coverage for themselves will increase quality, lower price, and be able to pick the right coverage for them.

@Viracocha711 I Want to have affordable and good, fast care. Universal will not supply this. A free market can. right now in USA everyone gets health care. There are free clinics, and if someone is truly sick or badly injured and rushed to the emergency room they are treated no matter their wealth. Also don't insurance companies need to make a profit and if they dont they fail? Doesn't universal so do this and thats y it is rationed? Do people need everything paid for too?
kooooolmatt 10 months ago
@kooooolmatt NO NO NO everyone in America DOES NOT GET HEALTH CARE! Yes, if you are hurt really bad you get care at emergency clinic...They save you from dying. But if you need expensive care afterward you are on your own. If you get cancer you will not have access to the expensive care needed. If you need an organ transplant you won't get one. America is ranked dead last in the top 11 richest nations & 25th in world when it comes to health care!
Viracocha711 10 months ago
@Viracocha711 It's true that anyone can get care. It is also true that not everyone can get any operation or what ever because of money issues. You keep stating that America health care system is not good. Well the Care is good but the affordability is not which means its hard to get the care. So yes I agree it needs change so u can stop saying that. I totally agree that everyone in America should be able to seek health care and get some. Should everyone be able to get any care needed or wanted?
kooooolmatt 10 months ago
@Viracocha711 I think everyone should have the oppertunity to see a doctor and get cared for. Get simple things done. But major operations or what ever that cost alot I do not think everyone should be able to get it. The reason is expense. If someone who is not paying at all but gets health care i think is not a smart idea. Not letting people have expensive health care would incourage people to get a job to afford health insurance.
kooooolmatt 10 months ago
@kooooolmatt PLEASE don't take this the wrong way...But when I read your last comment I said to myself this person CAN'T BE over 30yrs old. The reason is when I was 24yrs old I thought the same way if you can't afford the HC then get a job. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! I have a friend with a LAW DEGREE was making +$150,000 got Cancer his insurance dropped him a 1yr into his treatment due to how expensive it was & now can't work & is DYING! There are THOUSANDS of cases like this in America!
Viracocha711 10 months ago
@Viracocha711 Yes it does happen. There should be regulations put on these insurance companies because of that issue. Also the market should get rid of the insurance companies that are bad because people will get out of them. They wont make a profit. I do think you are exactly right with thousands of cases like that. People get very ill and then when they need insurance the most its not there for them. Its tragic. Insurance companies should not be able to do that.

@Viracocha711 I dont want my insurance in the hands of the government because they are not good at running business. I think government is there to protect its people. This is one area it needs to do so. Government has done many good things to protect us. Government has also put regulations that hurt us. Government is essential but has been to envolved lately. Thats what I have a problem with.
kooooolmatt 10 months ago
@kooooolmatt The best health care in the world is either run by Gov. or heavily Regulated by gov. If Gov is not regulating HEALTH then it is not protecting! Seriously, think about that. Give me an example how Gov has been "too involved lately"...Or are you juts saying that because you hear it on the radio? Are you an American or Canadian?
Viracocha711 10 months ago
@Viracocha711 NO. Obviously u dont understand health care from health insurance. Health care is the hospitals, clinics, doctors which in USA its best in the world. People have even come from other countries to get the best care. Health insurance in another story. This is the problem we have in america. People getting dropped and the expense of health insurance.
kooooolmatt 10 months ago
@Viracocha711 EX. The excessive amount of regulations causing business to go overseas or have a harder time here, the subsidies, laws restricting people of doing things. I can't remember which city but here in MN they cant hang their cloths up outside anymore. Redistribution of wealth (aka taking tax dollars and giving it to someone else.) Ex no offshore drilling. WOW Less jobs and higher gas prices from this.

@kooooolmatt The New Health Care Law will make a lot of needed improvements but we still have a long way to go in this country in terms of seeing to it everyone's health is cared for in America!

Well Canadian politics just got literally dirty, I wonder if this means that Canadians will start to start minding their own business and stop commenting on American politics all the time.
And just to comment on that situation itself, they fired her and didn't use anything against her or her family. That sure sounds like they took the high road to keep the dirt out as long as they could. But yet they will get slammed anyway.

@kmg501 They got what they wanted by firing her, why would they go after her family?
We dont even do that in america. ONce John Edwards was ran out, we never heard from him again.
Of course Harper should be slammed for firing somebody over an allegation alone.

@waltermh111
It's always a double or even triple edged sword. If he announced the reasons at the time of firing he would get slammed for that. If he kept her on he would get slammed for that. Now the reasons come out and he gets slammed for that.
Politics is an never never game of smearing those you don't like and never seeing any positive in the choices they make. He got rid of her as cleanly as he could and moved on. Seems like the high road to me but we'll see I guess.

@kmg501 He would not have been criticised for keeping her over an allegation that even in testimony had no bearing whatsoever in reality.
The freaken supposed originator of the rumor said he had no proof.
Maybe some minority of stupid conservatives would hate on him for not following up on a rumor, but where is this mythical large group that would base a job on an evidenceless rumor.
He made the wrong decision for whatever reason.
waltermh111 11 months ago
@kmg501 And I follow canadian politics a decent amount and from what I have seen this smearing has gotten very bad under Harper, much moreso than ever before.
You get rid of those dang conservatives it may be in time, but they have been there awhile and your just keeping the doors open for escalation.
He didnt have to get rid of her at all and its sad your excusing the scum that is harper because a hitjob was performed on her quietly.
