Is This Official NDP Policy?

Is This Official NDP Policy?

If it is,

I have a problem!

The other day while cruising through my morning news I ran across another friend’s submission to Facebook. He is probably more pissed off than I am with the lack of integrity in Ottawa. He’s had a closer acquaintance than I with this Member of Parliament. He was surprised to find out she had two faces. I thought it was common knowledge they all do!

Following are:

1.    his Facebook entry comment followed by

2.    a precis of the article that pissed him off

3.    a link to it and following that

4.    A conclusion and commentary by me in my usual precise and picky way.

To begin, I didn’t bother to ask MJ for permission to reprint this but what the hell it’s just another way to share his profound hurt and disappointment. Read on!

So, in spite of my years of trying to educate Jean Crowder and the NDP that we need to grow at home for our medical cannabis, she sides with the neighbours in that she says these small "operations" will be gone soon. She knows they are called production sites and she had an opportunity to set the record straight. I thought she was more understanding of all sides. If there had been proper regulations or even suggestions about odour control from Health Canada, that would have eliminated these problems. She seems to be siding with the government here. My hope with getting any support from the federal NDP is quickly vanishing.

Neighbours sick of legal Shawnigan grow operation

http://www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com/news/neighbours-sick-of-legal-shawnigan-grow-operation-1.543582

A PRECIS:
Nanaimo-Cowichan MP Jean Crowder said many regional districts and municipalities don't have bylaws in place to regulate where these operations can set up shop but the CVRD could act if other bylaws are being broken… "The licensing is one piece of it but if they are contravening bylaws...just because you've got a licenced grow op doesn't mean that you can flout whatever other regulations are in place," she said.
But Crowder says it won't be much longer until small medical marijuana growing operations like the one in question are done with for good. A more commercial process will replace what exists, all but eliminating the one-off growers and replacing them with massive industrial operations.
Until then, if citizens have concerns, they need to contact Health Canada and if they don't get anywhere, Crowder can reach out on their behalf, she said.

My Opine

Another one sided opinionated article by another newspaper reporter as superficial as Jason Miller of the Belleville Intelligencer:

a sensational expose based on little or no investigation and follow up.

 What’s the other side of the story?

Remember questions about the defender, does he have a defense?

Who is this guy? Does he have a name? What are you doing here? What’s the problem causing the smell? Can you stop it? How many Plants? ( That’s usually a good indication – Huge to stink that bad).How many licenses? Why do you grow and do this despite opposition from the neighbors? Where do you think it will end?

To Sarah Simpson : Did you actually go to the scene of this crime and sniff downwind on a hot day? Did you get stoned or dizzy? Do you really think there is enough smell to justify a complaint or is it just the neighbors fear that the Criminal Element has moved into the neighborhood and the children are in danger. In short are they believers in the bullshit the Government hands out as truth and acting stupidly.

I guess that’s about enough criticism of the reporting, now to the public spouting of a wannabe famous politician Ms. Crowder

Where the hell does she as a Federal politician get the right to advise municipalities to cover their asses with restrictive bylaws to prevent any personal growth of Medical Marijuana? That is a straight ignorance and denial of the rights of her own constituents who are legally entitled to grow as a cost avoidance measure that she conveniently ignores.

The second point is laughable in her assertion that the new commercialization will eliminate all the problems right away. She completely ignores the reality that the creation of a supply industry for a nation this large in less than a decade is stupidity. At this point:

1.    No licenses have been issued, noproduction sources

2.    No Production facilities have as yet been constructed.

3.    Not one has been inspected for regulatory compliance

4.    No target crops are recommended from the genetic pool and

5.    No seeds have been mass planted or cloning activity begun.

6.    No verified sources of product are available to contact and apply to

7.    The price is a totally dependant on the greed component.

It seems logical to me to conclude that there is no way in the time span remaining to accomplish all the activity required to prepare a national distribution system. The creation of supply train of unknown products (Hybrids), of sufficient quantity and quality. ready to go to supply a market with very a demanding clientel at an unknown price increase that could double by next April is impossible.   

The Cons have a majority and the passage is guaranteed. An NDP member on Opposition is not supposed to be advocating enemy crime. They don’t need your help Jean, back off and do what you ewer elected to do. Help your constituents survive the assholes in power and lodge the fact into your mind that not all your constituents are homeowners with nasal problems that need coddling.

If you have a grower, it’s logical you have patients who need the medication and they are constituents too. What the fuck are you doing for them! Their pain and sick symptoms are far more important than the unfounded fears that fools like you propagate for political gain.

Regarding your last statement:

“You’re living in Wonderland, Alice!”

You stated you could address concerns if your constituent’s complaints were not getting results from Health Canada. Try flexing your imaginary muscle in front of a mirror because your self image needs a severe deflation! They have the power to tell the Supreme Court to piss off and you think they will listen to you, a back bench nobody from an Opposition party. LMAO

I wonder how many of your constituents realized they were voting for a Harpocrit in NDP costume. I hope they wake up for the next election and ram this little bit of two faced flatulence back at you. I truly hope you’ll enjoy the rotten smell of defeat.

Should any of you readers be ticked off to the degree that you would like to make a snarkey comment, it won’t cost you a penny. Ms. Crowder was kind enough to provide a toll free phone number and even her e-mail address:

Why the GOP Doesn’t Love Chris Christie

I think I Found a Ruby in the Rubbish Heap

An Honest Politician?

I got up early this morning and was just surfing the news when I happened on an article in the Daily Beast titled “Why the GOP Doesn’t Love Chris Christie”. I’d give you a link but its 3 lines long and not worth clicking on unless you like him. I’m a fan because he’s the only politician in North America who actually speaks his mind and backs it up with common sense reasoning.

The article has two main points that I thought were worth notice:

1.     Compromise and how you get there,

2.     Fat retirement benefits of our political Aristocracy.

It’s a reality that both our governments have fallen into gridlock and hostility: Canada because of Stephen Harper and his majority. He has the ability to ram shit down people’s throat with no explanation or justification. He loves to do so: a perfect example is the MMPR. We can’t get rid of him and he’s free to fuck up the country until the next election. Woe is us!
The U.S. has had the unfortunate experience of having government ranks corrupted by a handful of Tea Party assholes. Having been elected they are now free to fuck up the system until their next election. Woe is them!
Following I quote from that article:
 “We have to find ways to compromise with each other,” Christie said. “The place is so dysfunctional; they so don’t talk to each other, they so dislike each other that they can’t get to the common-sense point. I have said this all along with Jersey. I have argued all the time with the legislature. You heard me say a bunch of stuff about the Democrats in the legislature this morning. But I don’t have the luxury to hate. I have a job to do. You elected me to accomplish something, not just to occupy a space.
“I am not going to compromise my principles, because that is who I am, and that is why you elected me. But there is always a boulevard between getting everything you want and compromising your principles. There is always some space there, and the job of a governor or any executive is to find that space.”

Can you imagine it? Christie is honest, has principles and managed to get elected to a position of power. Fortunately for Stephen he didn’t have to overcome those obstacles: Lying is second nature to him and he has no idea what principles or decency is.

Also worthy of note is Christie’s assessment of his political peers. That group, the bureaucrats, were, in Christie’s telling, a bunch of greedy paper pushers lining their pockets with the public’s money, especially in retirement. I quote:

“If we are going to pay these folks these exorbitant sums of money, you should be able to give it to them personally. I think that when one of these guys retires, we should have a little party down at the town hall in Parsippany, for instance,” the governor said to guffaws from the crowd. “Every person who lives in Parsippany gets to come in with their check for their share of the money. It would be like the wedding line! You would go in and you would say to them, ‘Great service, congratulations. Here is my $120 for your sick time.’ And at least then you would get a thank you!”
If only that could happen up here: Maybe then someone like Bev Oda wouldn’t be able to screw up, resign under a cloud and then keep sucking the left hind tit of the public purse for the rest of her life. At $16 a glass she can afford to buy truckloads with her ill gotten gains. May she choke on it.
I wonder what revelations and opinion he’s going to come up with next?

WE already knew THAT!

So What?

The man who wrote this went all out with his comments and I couldn't agree more. I have no idea who he was and the article is obviously plagiarized, but it tells it like it is and I think most of my readers will find themselves in complete agreement. If you do, I hereby grant you the right to join

I'm telling the crooked politicians the way it really is. Too many blind voters keep them in office!

I don't think pissed really covers it!

Harper's conservatives call senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Old Age Security " to a Milk Cow with 34 million teats.

Well, here's my response........

"Hey Stephen, let's get a few things straight!

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for many, many years.

2. I have been paying taxes since I was 18 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Old Age Security payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning CanadianSocial Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of Canadian seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Canadians, have been paying into health care from day one, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from health care to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Canadians, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the Canadian taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

1. How much money have you earned from the Canadian taxpayers during your pathetic political career?

2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much will you receive in annual retirement benefits from the Canadian taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called "The Harper Government" who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted Canada and stolen the dream of a decent retirement from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers: And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed, leech.

That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted Canada for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.
