"BEST RANT OF THE WEEK

 Posted by Douglas Connors on Facebook in response to Pierre Poilievre's self-aggrandizing announcement that he was "acclaimed" to run in the riding of Rideau-Carlton:

 (An excellent summary of the Conservatives' excuse-making, blame-shifting and character assassinations)

 So...If I got this right...

 The media is inherently biased against you, so your boss doesn't answer questions and had the PMO produce his news clips.

 The public service is inherently biased against you, so you must make huge cuts while not telling anyone, including your fellow Parliamentarians, what or how much you are cutting.

 The foreign aid providers are inherently biased against you, so you must destroy CIDA and the roundtable at which they coordinate their NGO activities.

 Anyone who supports the right of Palestine to exist is inherently biased against you, so you must cut their funding.

 Anyone who dares ask a question about our role in Afghanistan is inherently biased against you -- and is a Taliban-lover -- so you must not release information on possible torture.

 The Opposition is inherently biased against you, so you must spend tons of citizens' resources trying to obliterate it.

 The Supreme Court (and all Courts) are inherently biased against you, so you must destroy Canadians' faith in the system by crying: "Activist judges!"

 The Constitution is inherently biased against you, so you must try to sneak amendments to it in Omnibus budget bills, which also happens to be unconstitutional.

 Our electoral conventions are inherently biased against you, so you must portray a coalition as being anti-democratic.

 The Senate is inherently biased against you, so you must stuff it with hacks who don't even live in the provinces they represent, which also happens to be unconstitutional.

 The Supreme Court nomination process is inherently biased against you, so you must become the first party to ever botch a nomination AND pass an unconstitutional budget in order to do it.

 The Chiefs of Police are inherently biased against you, so you must smear them when they comes out in favour of a long-gun registry, or you must smear the RCMP for storing guns left in plain sight during a natural disaster.

 Human Rights Organizations are inherently biased against you, so you must sic Ezra Levant on them at any given time

 The lawyers at the Ministry of Justice are inherently biased against you, so you must never take their advice and spend citizens' money on hiring private lawyers to take on your legal wild goose chases.
The people at the Bank of Canada are inherently biased against you, so you must never borrow money from it at lower rates to service our debt, but borrow it from private banks instead.

 The provincial and territorial Premiers are inherently biased against you, so your boss should never meet with them all, at one time, in one place.

 The people are inherently biased against you, so you must engage in the largest suppression of human rights in Canadian history.

 The voters are inherently biased against you, so you must never have any open meeting at which citizens can just show up, you must creep their Facebook pages, block those who believe different from you from your events, and never allow the PM to be alone among the great unwashed.

 The Parliamentary Budget Officer your party appointed is inherently biased against you, so you must engage in character assassination.

 The Head of Statistics Canada (which was one of the Top 3 independent statistics organizations in the world before your vandalism of it ) is inherently against you so you must pretend he made claims in support of you that he indeed never made... so much so that he resigned from his dream job in protest.

 Provincial and Territorial Chief Electoral Officers are inherently biased against you, so you claim with a straight face that you know better what it is they are saying than are they (?!?)

 The Chief Electoral officer is inherently against you (even though you've "won*" the last 3 elections) so you must castrate and humiliate him, and attempt to destroy the confidence Canadians have in our electoral commission (which is touted as being THE preeminent electoral body in the world).

 And now Sheila Fraser is inherently biased against you that you claim her opinion can be bought for about $200/month!!!

 Either many among you are soon gonna wind up in a rubber room with PJs that lace up in the back and a complimentary hockey helmet from being this paranoid that everyone is out to "gitcha", or many among you are going to end up in jail for having committed the greatest fraud in Canadian history upon Canadian citizens (and bleeding the treasury dry in the process).

 Sorry there Pepe le Pewlièvre, but when you guys went after Sheila, you guys "jumped the shark" as they call it in TV land. Methinks the reason for which you were acclaimed is because now, only the neediest of media-whores would attempt to throw their hat in the ring for a Conservative nomination, given you guys are working hard to achieve a two-seat repeat!
won* =

 * 2006: In-and-Out. After denying for years they did anything wrong, they finally admitted it and settled.

 *2008: Broke their own fixed election date law (just like Marois did in Québec) to sneak in a win before the economic crisis (which they say they did not see coming, when they had data in June and July indicating it was already upon us) hit REALLY hard.

 *2011: Robofraud, vote-moving, and Out-and-In (instead of In-and-Out) You or your party has never actually won one of your elections yet without cheating and have shown many times over that you and your party have consistently proven that you possess neither any respect for our Constitution, nor any basic comprehension of what it actually says (which is a requirement of the job you hold) so why would any Canadian trust you or your party on electoral law reform today?
