I am not pleased with PM H...Repost from a CRUSHER:<br /><br />I am not pleased with PM Harper's performance either. I have been working on a list of 25 things that worry me ... I hope to have it complete in time to make placemats for friends that work at Parliament. Here is longer than the one above. ...I need three more good reasons to get 25 .. any suggestions?<br /><br />1) THE BEGINNINGS <br />Peter MacKay insisted that he was" not a merger candidate" at the 2003 Progressive Conservative Leadership Convention . Well he did merge the PC party with the Reform Party and now the CONS are an alliance of former Mike Harris Conservatives, wishy-washy Progressive Conservatives like Peter Mackay and the Reform Party of Canada.<br /><br />2) APPOINTING A SENATORS<br />Although running on a platform of not appointing senators, PM Harper has appointed 34 senators<br /><br />3) NOT TAKING CARE OF OUR VETERANS: <br />Veterans' Ombudsman Pat Stogran, who was critical of this government's treatment of veterans was let go. <br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canadas-top-soldier-backs-ombudsmans-campaign-for-veterans/article1680781/<br /><br />4) AFGHAN DETAINEE ISSUE : <br />that sparked the proroguing of parliament<br /><br />5) PROROGUING PARLIAMENT: <br />Twice <br /><br />6) NUCLEAR ISSUE#1: <br />In January 2008, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission head Linda Keen, who was fired after shutting down the Chalk River nuclear reactor. She was not being incompetent , she was not listened to!<br />http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/01/16/keen-firing.htm<br /><br />7) NUCLEAR ISSUE#2:<br />BillC9 which passed into law in early July 2010 allows for the public sale of the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited<br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/minister-defends-lumping-aecl-sale-into-christmas-tree-budget-bill/article1631795/<br /><br />8) OIL ISSUE #1: <br />the tarsands and its impact on the Chipewayans of Northern Alberta:<br />http://www.keepersofthewater.com/home.html<br />http://www.businessinsider.com/15-frightening-facts-about-canadas-booming-tar-pits-from-hell-2010-7#an-estimated-billion-gallons-leak-from-the-waste-water-ponds-every-year-11<br /><br />9) OIL ISSUE #2: <br />Tell me who are the real "have" and "have not" provinces? Of the one billion dollars committed to "green projects" in the March 2010 federal budget about 420 million will go to carbon capture and sequestration. Transfer payments anyone? <br />The tarsands has crippled the rest of Canada's Economy:<br />http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2010/08/13/TarSandsEconomicFate/<br />http://www.reuters.com/assets/print?aid=USTRE67A3JK20100811<br /><br />10) OIL ISSUE NUMBER THREE: <br />The provision in bill C9 that makes the National EnergyBoard the overseer of oil projects in Canada<br />http://www.globe-net.com/articles/2010/july/13/parliament-passes-amendments-to-environmental-assessment-act.aspx<br />http://www.hilltimes.com/page/view/environment-07-12-2010<br />Dick Cheyney in the USA with the creation of the Mineral Mines and Management Services and look what happened in the Gulf of Mexico<br /><br />11) OIL ISSUE NUMBER FOUR<br />At the Pittsburg G8-G20 in 2009, countries were asked to phase out oil subsidies. The Honourable Jim Prentice (outgoing MP and Minister of the Environment) is on record as urging the PM to do so. Canada is not phasing out oil subsidies and our oil subsidies are almost double of what was originally reported.<br />http://www.iisd.org/media/press.aspx?id=179<br /><br />12) RELATED OIL ISSUE - TRAINING OF ABORIGINAL 600 OIL WORKERS: Why not train them for the Green Energy sector instead? This one is very worrisome on so many levels.<br />http://www.vancouversun.com/Ottawa+allocates+million+train+native+workers+pipeline+jobs/3427005/story.html<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br />.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-71043955058877073562011-01-01T17:59:39.822-05:002011-01-01T17:59:39.822-05:00A lot of firsts with this Harper Government:

The details of all of these issues carry with them a diminution of our democratic principles and institutions. How long will our parliamentarian allow this raping of our heritage continue?<br />• What will you say when your children asked what you did to stop this?<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.Nadine Lumleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591663475427502169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-91419712918752524222011-01-01T17:59:19.021-05:002011-01-01T17:59:19.021-05:00The two main problems I have with Harper are:
