The Harper government: here for a good time?

[OttawaGh0st4]

.what other jets?? yes what other jets? like the F-16? built in 1976.. or how about the F-15 strike Eagle built in the early 80's. Our F-18's ...7 January 1983...F-14 Tomcat...September 1974...or how about we buy the F-35. 2006--present ....ah yes makes sense now doesn't it??? now you were saying??

[melodiaagrodolce]

You should make another video for this election! Please do!

[SimplyPissedOff]

The thing is even with the voting whose to say that the Liberal Government will not do the exact same thing? And don't say VOTE NDP or Green Party then lets be honest whens the last time one of those parties were actually elected.

[GemminAye]

[Shawnm1977]

Well atleast we haven`t got cought with our hands in the cookie jar yet., good ol Jean eh !! lol

[85keewee]

Harper is selling us out, and gutting Canada. Time we all stop being so poite and throw this bum out on his arse!

[canadianlattitude]

There needs to be a part two done of this video...Lots more to add..:)

[canadianlattitude]

Jack Layton for PM!

[popcornlagace]

!!!!!NDP!!!!! the voice of the many over the voice of the rich! this is our country

[johnowenD]

Im not a fan of Harper (I support my premiers fight against him) but this is a biased piece of shit,

[theprofit1138]

Biased??? Maybe you should do some googling, these are facts! The Harper Gov is fast out doing the Liberals in the "miss management and corruption" catagory.

[kylelarmo]

Probably one of my favourite political videos on YouTube. Props!

[Revolt84]

Danny Williams for PM! Go Danny Go!

[jackiechan511]

With all the mistakes that the Conservatives are making, voters will be smart enough to topple them. After the results in the Oct 14 2008 election, Canadian voters made the biggest mistake in relecting Harper with more seats. This is simular with American voters making the same mistake when American voters gave GW Bush another mandate in 2004.

[magee63]

Great song .. bad, un informed and very skewed video. The way in which opinions displayed as facts i could easily say that because there is a story about an Easter bunny then it must be true........

[fuoifg86]

Democracy not DION.

[haristo3]

new Liberal Leader is Ignatief. since... today.

[godfree2canada]

is this video being hit by vote bots or resets?

[goodtimenotlongtime]

I don't think so, why do you ask?

[CrazyAlvis]

BRAVO!! Excellent video!

[ATMleb]

Canada is better off without Harper, but the Liberals must change their leadership

[TheB3e]

I like this video because I agree with some of the points made, but I also don't think the Liberals are the answer either! I don't know about other Canadians but I'm getting real tired of the two party system. If we were running a business(Canada Inc.)We the shareholders(tax payers)should demand only the most intelligent and capable leaders to run our company regardless of political party. Out of all the smart people in Canada, these are the only twits that we get to choose from? What gives..

[PejmanMan]

LMao, what gives indeed...

Canada, has, as you should know, a FOUR party system!!

I don't know about other canadians, but most of us know this. Aren't we basically choosing which person is more capable of running our country?

Isn't, i donno, 50 heads better than one? How would you rate that "leader" as the most intelligent?

Maybe intelligents are actually using their intelligence instead of going into a backstabbing game...

Why don't you go into political systems?

[TheB3e]

Yeah the 4 party system.. ha ha what a joke! Every single election and it comes down to 2 choices- Liberals or Conservatives.. you can choose to live in whatever fantasy you would like. We are choosing the lesser of two evils

regardless of your "choice" you get evil.

Maybe intelligents and government should't be used in the same sentance?

[xInwex]

Great job on this. Summarized every reason why I hate Stephen Harper and the Torie Government

[xInwex]

*Tory

[mathavian]

And the liberals would have been so different on anything at all, they aren't even a wing party but in the middle, who is this to say that it would be different. Oh and this video forgot to mention the things Harper did as he promised, Canada spoke again.

[iamjakt]

well done.

[zippedm]

I wish I would have seen this before the election - deserves to be circulated. Maybe he'll call another election next month.

[haristo3]

Now you understand why we voted for the BLOC !

[queenan9]

good on ya man i fucken love the bloc for the sole reason that they stopped harper from getting a majority, most would think that is messed considering i am from alberta

[haristo3]

thank you :) i hope the Lefty parties will do those fucking alliance for creating an Coalition Government. putting Dion out of Liberal Party and having Mickael Ingnatief as Coalition's Prime Minister.

but, remember who can easily take the Coalition by the nuts : the Bloc. everything the Coalition will need to vote (she will be Minority). they will need the Approbation of the bloc because the Conservative will always refuse. i hope Duceppe will destroy law C-20.

[canadianlattitude]

Harper is a fascist pig.

[Davidicbc]

Two and a half minutes of Conservative misdeeds over the past two years, and all supported by Stephane Dion and the Liberals in the House of Commons.

[rsonb046]

whats the name of the song

[shas1814]

Excellent video. 5 stars! The Harper government scorns the Constitution, scorns the Supreme Court, Scorns Parliament, scorns the will of the People, and scorns the facts. Just like all tyrannical power-pushers. Harper = Bush. Anyone but Harper!

[herbalvegas]

There's a bunch of stuff that was left out. And just to keep up to date, the Cadman tapes were not doctored like the Cons claimed. They have been busted again. If Harper showed true leadership, he would resign immediately.

[AdeleMS]

This video mentions nothing of the introduction of Bill's C-51 and C-52 - an attempt to give police state powers to 'agents' for using vitamin C. Both bills already have government legislation in place covering those issues but not to the extent of the control that they want.

[thunderflash82]

vitamin C???

[AdeleMS]

Search "stop bill c51" and research how it relates to UN/WHO's codex law - deadline to be Codex compliant is Dec 31 2009 or face trade sanctions. Bill C-51 and C-52 was an attempt to get Canada compliant or face trade sanctions. HealthCanada is already on the path, they have denied my access an increasing number of safe products, including to pro-biotics and enzymes that I use from a US based company. Enzymes? What a threat! It's not about your health but supporting big business.

[harperiscrazy]

I'm voting Harper to prevent a NDP win. The day that the NDP wins, will be the day that Harper steps down and I don't want that to happen. I really like this policies of keeping our troops in Afganistan without a plan, or cutting taxes so we have no money to spend during hard times, I really like the fact that he is allowing our sovereignty to be erroded to the US with the North American Union. Yeah, go conservatives!

[harperiscrazy]

The Conservatives are soooo funny. The have nothing better to do than to slander other parties. That is where their priorities are.

I guess Dion was right, it isn't easy to make priorities. The irony is that Harper listened to him, lol.

[timmypeel]

To all of you true "conservatives". Harper is a Social Conservative who has little or nothing in common with the "reduce government" and "tax cut" Libertarian you're mistaking him for. This video is an exaggeration but the underlying truth is so obvious. Give Harper another minority gov't and watch him quit in a frustrated huff just like his tactic book suggests.

[shas1814]

In what way is a list of facts "an exaggeration"?

[lcfly]

It's more than absurd to blame the outbreak of Listeriosis on any political party. It's not in the best interest of the government to kill people nor is it the company itself who is to blame. Listeriosis can occur in your refrigerator if the temperature is above 3 degrees Celsius. Makes you think about leaving pizza out over night. Anyhow... This has more to do with our demand for "faster, better, cheaper" society. These huge plants are a bi product of our own demands.

[lcfly]

A centralized system for food has the distribution and production capacities to meet our demand at the expense of the potential to affect a larger portion of consumers should a biological indecent like this one occur.

[lcfly]

The Kyoto accord is a standardized set of environmental rules that simply do not apply themselves to EVERYWHERE in the world. Canada's emission standards proposed by this same government exceed those of Kyoto in some respects. The local environment differs greatly from region to region and it stands to reason (key word: reason) that each location have a set of environmental protocols that fit the local environment. Which is a FAR better idea than the cookie cutter ideology Kyoto presents.

[theedgecine]

Thanks for this. The facts speak loudly. One important fact to add: Stephen Harper supported a bill that was passed in the house this spring to make manditory federal elections every four years. By calling an election he not only proke a promise, he broke a law.

[fisherbaboy]

thats what most canadaian wanted to be don't be corrupt like liberals you should be happy for that matter

[publicpost4ever]

but they created so many jobs, sadly most at $6-$8 range, in fact there could be so many low paying jobs that everyone can get two and then be able to pay the bills. No family life, but Harper thinks we should shut up and go work at Tims

[olivelake]

(continued from below)

By the way, the Liberals have supported them all the way!!

[olivelake]

6 months mandatory sentence for 1 cannabis plant

14 year olds serving life hard time with adults

50 billion (500 billion in US proportions) in tax cuts to big oil & banks

what about the people of Canada? who cares about them, their health care, or if this is the Canada they wanted.

[JBME]

[ludvikaus]

The Liberal platform is 1)we want to keep more of taxpayers' money, 2)if we're soft on crime, criminals will become good people, 3)we'll call for an economic action plan during the first 30 days in power to make it look like we're doing something, 4)we won't tell people that if polluters cut emissions and pay less tax, we'll run Canada into a deficit to maintain income tax cuts with our Green Shaft, 5)big government is the solution to everything.

[Noctroler]

Man, I hate political debate, but being "tough on crime" has become a real third rail issue. Even if tougher laws and longer sentences upon conviction ARE SHOWN TO BE NOT HELPING CRIME RATES, political parties will still use them to gain votes. For instance, the Conservative party wants to institute mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession, a policy that has been very common in the US and has only increased the prison population instead of lowering drug use, yet they still push for it.

[whiskers123]

Yes Bill C-26 is a horrible bill, if it passes we will be spending millions more, and thousands of lives will be ruined due to the war on drugs. Our jails will be packed so full we will have to build more prisons, or maybe he plans to have a private prison system? *shudder*

No mandatory minimum sentences for Cannabis! No Bill C-26! NO STEPHEN HARPER!!!

[youbooyou]

Increasing prision isn't the way to go. I actually agree with the Green's on this to legalize MJ. This will reduce a lot of the gang violence. But it would really piss America off so conservatives are definitely not going to do that. Because their they don't want to piss their master off.

[RBAentertainment]

If you actually believe what you wrote you've been listening the conservatives blindly without doing your own research. I hope your a wiser individual than that!

[cbuilder77]

This video fails to mention the 50% of their fulfiled election promises, and their progress on another 20% to achieve 70% of the 236 promises they did make. How about the ridiculous liberal opposition on their bills to fight crime? For the first time in a long time our government has accomplished something!!!! What did the liberals do?.....very little, waste all their time being people pleasers, and getting caught in scandals rather than having a strong plan and moving this country forward.

[youbooyou]

Did someone forget a huge Surplus the Liberals left us with? They had a really nice balanced budget. And now we are already heading to go into a deficit if our surplus continues to drop at this rate.

[BBuddyKat]

September 08  Broke election law by calling one when it suited him. There are many examples of the conservatives unable to interpret laws ...much less follow them. ie in/out scheme...A government that doesn't understand the law has no business being a government.

[rockbob]

totally brilliant. way to go. thanks

[tzarBHD]

Oh and the war wasn't about israel vs lebannon, it was israel vs hizzbollah, we libaneses welcome the people of god into our country, fuck the muslims up!

[whiskers123]

The majority of the Lebanese people are Muslim, so if your going to pretend to be Lebanese (when your actually from Canada) at least get your facts straight so you don't make it so obvious your a lier.

[tzarBHD]

Stupid, im an immigrant.70% of the population is muslim yes, BUT the governement will never be muslim.

[CamWig]

Last clip from that list:

40. Raising personal income tax rate for the lowest bracket to help pay for record government spending.

47. Constant campaigning, rather than governing.

50. Promising a lean government, and then bloating the cabinet by six more people, with cars and drivers

74. Breaking the Atlantic Accord after promising not to.

81 The Elections Canada raid on Conservative party headquarters, investigating the in and out election financing scheme.

...ooh! I could go on!!!

[CamWig]

Let's go through a bit more of the track record of the Reformed Conservatives under Harper:

1. Calling an early election, breaking a legislated promise to have the next vote in 2009.

2. Writing ineffective laws, which do not apply to him.

3. Apparently Canadian laws do not apply to him either, ask Elections Canada, a number of other quasi-judicial bodies or Cadmans biographer.

4. Turning a record budget surplus into a deficit in 3 years.

[CamWig]

5.Running the biggest spending Canadian government ever and increasing spending at twice the rate of inflation and revenue

6. Losing 2 billion plus dollars of tax revenue due to an ill conceived income trust policy.

7. Cutting Canadas Food Safety Inspectors just prior to a major food poisoning outbreak (Listeriosis) that has killed 15 people so far.

8. Adding a personal hair stylist and image consultant to the PMO staff and billing the taxpayer for her services

[CamWig]

9. Fudging the costs of government jets used by Stephen Harper and his ministers after blasting Liberals for the same thing.

10. Kicking out Garth Turner for communicating with Canadians.

11. Firing Mp Bill Casey for doing his job and standing up for his constituents

12. Producing a 200 page "Manual of Dirty Tricks" to deliberately disrupt parliamentary committees and parliament.

[CamWig]

13. Conservative committee chairman following that advice and walking out when ever a contentious issue is raise or they might lose a vote.

14. Parliamentary secretary Pierre Poilievres hand gestures in Parliament and F-word comments in committee.

15. Firing Conservative Senators Hugh Segal and Michael Meighan from committee work for independent thinking.

16. Muzzling Conservative MPs and banning them from unauthorized media interviews.

[CamWig]

These are from a list of over 100...

18. Broken promise on taxing income trusts.

21. Doing nothing about climate change or the environment for more than a year, and until forced to by the polls.

22. Making a former lobbyist for military arms dealers the minister of defence, in charge of $15 billion in spending.

24. Preaching Senate reform, then appointing Michael Fortier to the Senate so he could be made an unelected cabinet minister.

[CamWig]

27. Refusing to allow media coverage of the return home of our Afghan war dead, without consulting the families.

28. Broken promise on providing a health care waiting time guarantee.

29. Threatening Conservative MPs with loss of party status if they talked about funding cuts that affect their constituents.

33. Supporting Calgary Conservative MP Rob Anders bogus nomination process, later overturned by the courts.

34. Trying to buy the 2007 Quebec election with 34% increase in transfer payments.

[lostcanadiansoul]

well we as canadians really do not gve two shakes about ur goverment from our parents to now we have bent over backwards over and over again and like true canadians we say thank you. and we keep cleaning up there mistakes as they hike their wages and we get taxed to death all in all its our vaults for letting this crap happen if we were in the dark ages we would have over thrown the king because of taxes vote again not to vote

[sunnynurse]

Strong video. Good song choice. Unfortunately, the demographic this video needs to reach is not on youtube. The older population is the strongest supporters of the Harper government and they generally don't go online or look at youtube.

[lostcanadiansoul]

the worst thing about this election is harper is hiding behind the american election so we will be to consumed with that bad comedy sketch to even listen to what they. harper kept quiet threw his first term because he has no seats to do anything but if we elect him again with more majority i am sure we will see the little bush in him come out.i think every canadian should not vote declaring no vote of confidence for all party members lets vote not to vote and try taking back our rights

[BillysSoloProject]

Misleading simple minded,

[CamWig]

Harper is not simple minded. He is very intelligent, and is doing everything he can strategically & manipulatively to win either another minority government or a majority one. He is misleading, and he has no problem lying or breaking promises. Check his track record... this video list only a few highlights.

[BillysSoloProject]

No I meant, the video is misleading simple minded, and so are you, if thats what you believe. Show me a Harper attack add.  You get what you deserve, if its a simple minded government that wins,. Hey! its only a reflection of the mentality of Canadians.

[CamWig]

That's rude and insulting, just as I'd expect from a Harper supporting conservative. Thanks for fulfilling the stereotype. There are many small 'c' conservatives who don't support Harper, you know. My Dad's one.

[BillysSoloProject]

What the hell makes you think I support Harper? You dont know me, I am supporting Connie Fogal. What else do you think you Know? don't bother.

[fuckshitfuck]

There was a website funded by Harper which depicted a bird flying over Stephane Dion and deficating (pooing) on him. Also, I have personally received at least three flyers in my mail box directly attacking Stephane Dion and his Carbon Tax suggesting that it was a threat to Canadian Unity. How is a carbon tax related in any way to Canadian Unity? Do you think Harper is just throwing around these catastrophe theories so that those who don't have time to think will just go along with him??

[jimmyjames75]

If you rape the West with a cardon tax you will have a problem with unity.

[baracine]

This should be on TV.

[rg506]

DOUCHEBAG

[BaywatchSam]

As simple as that! Great Vid!

[buyatdb]

Typical distorted left wing rhetoric. What has Jack Layton done? Lets talk about the NDP record from the past deficits in Ontario

[CamWig]

It's not distorted. It's a list of a few highlights of his track record.

Who do some cons insist on deflecting criticism by redirecting towards others? Forget about Layton right here and now - we're looking at Harper and his track record. It sucks. He lies. He spreads disinformation. He intimidates and bullies.

Those are factual observations, not just opinions.

[emperorinsaino]

The music is perfect. And if C-61 had passed, the copyright holder could get you for $20,000 :-S

[videofreepress]

This is the best freaking video since that amazing "Save the Internet" video with the cute little UFOs! I LOVE it! If this doesn't win an Oscar, I'm demanding a recount from the Academy!!!

[videofreepress]

...and I'm not being sarcastic!

[Teletaper]

Excellent! Now if the mass public could only view this........

[shelleyboodles]

Fabulous-o! The video, not the Conservatives, that is.

[kw4915167]

brilliant, accurate & inspiring - passing it on!

[conormtl]

brilliant!!

[CastorCanadien]

Typical Liberal fearmongering, smearmongering, goebbelian propaganda attacking the truly Canadian Conservative party. Crooks usually lie, and Liberals are proven crooks(ADSCAM/Sponsorship criminality).

[krakak]

It boggles my mind that people like you exist.

[krakak]

Sorry, my comment was in response to 'CastorCanadien', not the video.

[BaywatchSam]

To be considered as a crook by a crook is really flatering!

[BaywatchSam]

As a response to ''CastorCanadien'

[dvbekker]

Excellent

[OpenSourceCinema]

awesome!

[johnchristou]

this is great

[johnwryter]

Good stuff. Sure would like to see it on the popular TV channels.
