No doubt photoshopped, but still funny:

Too good not to share:
SAW THIS, POSTED BY A CANADIAN SOLDIER: More about why I won’t vote liberal . . . I find that many lefties are concerned with $90,000 paid back to taxpayers, yet unconcerned that one Liberal senator owes more then all the conservative senators combined, Mac Harb. Or how about Liberal election fraud. A couple elections ago ad-scam was the biggest financial and election scandal in the G8. Yet you still support the Liberals like Ralph Goodale who were involved in it. There were no criminal charges. No senators other then the Conservative senators have been forced to pay back money. Tom Mulcair misappropriated $3,000,000 and you have heard not a peep. You never heard much about Liberals already breaking election law at advance polls for this election. Trudeau skipped out on his job in the house of commons to give paid speeches to charities despite being a multi-millionaire. He has never been employed full time but you want him to run the country. Tom Mulcaire pledged to ban the bulk export of Canadian water. Harper has already done that. He pledged to get rid of the senate, which he cannot do. Similarly he has sworn to get national day care which requires provincial agreement, and the provinces have said no already.
Trudeau is planning to spend our way out of debt. Ridiculous. He has pledged to create a false economy by spending money on infrastructure which we cannot afford and which artificially supports industry for short term job growth before that industry collapses when funding runs out.
Despite having the best cared for veterans in the world, and despite the Harper government being the first in my lifetime to properly equip the military, you think the Liberals will do a better job; the same liberals that denied us heavy armour in Afghanistan (where they sent us). They also denied us heavy weapons, mothballed our artillery, sold our tanks and heavy helicopters and rewrote the veterans charter which you blame Harper for.
Harper bought us transport planes, trucks, weapons, new tanks, heavy lift helos, artillery, uniforms, ammunition, took the handcuffs off us in Afghanistan and brought us home when we completed our mandate. But you call him a warmonger.
Trudeau and Mulcair both want to get out of the fight with ISIS. They want to negotiate and give aid. According to Trudeau the Boston bombing happened because “someone didn't feel included.” I too want change. I want people to stop being consumers and start being citizens. I want people to stop being citizens of convenience. I want people to get a hand up, not a hand out. I want us to fight alongside those who need our help against forces of evil like ISIS, al Shabbab, Boko Haram, and al Qaeda, all of whom actually exist and, believe it or not, want you dead. I believe in immigration in a controlled manner and enabling others to stay home and sort out their own country rather then importing their problems to ours. If they won’t fight for their home they won’t fight for ours. I’m 43 years old, I pay my taxes, I’ve been unemployed and never collected a dime I didn't earn. I always pounded the pavement to get another job so I could make my own way. I’ve been in 23 countries. I’ve served my nation for 25 years. I’ve been in synagogues, mosques and churches, prayed at the worlds holiest sites but give no allegiance to those support groups for the weak of faith that you call religion. I believe in free enterprise. I have friends of every colour and lost many of them while fighting alongside them. I have dined with princes and gone days without food. I believe in free enterprise, not union mob rule. I believe in earning rights not demanding them. I believe in standing up for what you believe in but if you break the law to do so, then facing the consequences. I don’t call 911 when my family is at risk; I may inform the authorities later though. I don’t think prisoners should have the right to vote, but the left does (and Trudeau Sr basically ensured it). I say Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays. If you wish me a Happy Eid, Kwanza or Hannukah I will thank you. My family didn’t come to this country—we made this country. I think there’s a difference between schooling and education. I will never vote Liberal. Part of the reason is that I will not support any group of voters that refers to any democratically elected leader of this country as a dictator or that compares him to Hitler. I am tired of Liberals saying I'm a bigot because of how I vote. I would never degrade them in that manner, though I've defended and secured their right to vote. If you don’t like my stance, fine. If you can’t have an intelligent discussion about policy then you shouldn’t vote. If you hate me, fine—I’ve been hated by better. Im a Conservative and these are the reasons why. Argue that.

At least he stepped down right away, but if I were trudeau I would have kicked him out of the door.E.R. Campbell said:Of course they are, as the article says, "Both the Conservative and the NDP campaigns criticized the letter Wednesday, suggesting that [size=14pt]the Liberals are trying to influence contacts and friends in the oil and gas industry."[/size]
Well of course they are ... Energy East, and other pipelines are going ahead under a Liberal government, no matter what the LPC candidates may have told people in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. It's how the Liberals operate ... always in bed with the Big Banks, Big Business and Big Labour.
As long as their is a culture of zero tolerance they shouldn't be able to cause much trouble.E.R. Campbell said:The Liberals have had "these kinds of characters around" since I was a schoolboy, in 1950, and, doubtless, before that, too. They, the hacks, flacks and bagmen, have been, especially since circa 1970, an essential component of Liberal Party operations. Oh, the other parties have them too, but never as many or as slick or as brazen as the Liberals ... and they aren't going away.

This guy stepped down, a plus.

I like you puckchaser, I really do, but your spin is a bit much.PuckChaser said:That's never stopped a witch-hunt against the Tories. There's a massive double standard if you think he can just step down to save the party embarrassment.
Trudeau has a culture of zero tolerance. Zero tolerance against any ideas against his. If you thought Harper was autocratic, just wait for the guy who had a "respect for the basic dictatorship of China's government".
Seriously? You do understand that the political and the economic are so intricately intertwined that one doesn't happen without the other. Sure you can turn a command economy around really fast, if you don't mind bulldozing the population along the way, but it doesn't mean that it'll work. How's the Chinese economy doing these days anyways? I do hope you don't get buyer's remorse. The new boss isn't going to be any better than the old one. He's not even smart enough to be as good as the old one. :Altair said:You know as well as I do that Trudeau's stupid comment had to do with how fast they can change their economy not the political freedoms of the Chinese dictatorship.

I said it was a stupid comment. Politicians make stupid comments.PuckChaser said:So you agree that we should artificially set the price of our currency, and have government control in all of our major industries?
Like every party.Good2Golf said:[added to bring the heart of the issue to the fore]

I remember harper making quite a few stupid comments in the years before becoming prime minister

Cripes, I really can't wait until the election is done. Churchill had it right when he said something to the effect that the biggest factor against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter. Canadians are proving that in spades these days, it seems. Low information voters indeed.
I somehow don't think that you need to fear that justin trudeau will somehow turn canada into a 1 party state with a command economy. So I really don't think it's that big a deal.PuckChaser said:About admiring communist dictatorships? That's a pretty big one. It was also not based on economic policies, he was asked "What nation's administration do you most admire?" You're the one that's gotta watch the spin, here. Maybe he'll whip out his CF-18s, since he's cancelling the F-35. Or drop some more parkas to stop the genocide in Syria/Iraq?
One comment can be passed off. A history of comments shows a flippant disregard for common sense and the inability to speak when not scripted. It even showed during his debates when he wasn't delivering lines, he shouted like a pissed-off 8 year old trying to get a word in edge-wise.
