Canada’s Astro-turfed Conspiracy in the Making

Socialist newly-minted Liberal Bob Rae, just like President Barack Obama, is a radical in public office. In taking over leadership of Canada’s Liberal Party last year, Rae, Ontario’s first (and mercifully, last) openly Socialist premier, inherited big time Obama campaign help from former Canadian Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff. Up to 2011, Ignatieff was being groomed for Canadian prime ministership by former Obama adviser Larry Summers. Ignatieff has even stronger ties to Samantha Power, wife of Czar Cass Sunstein who had Obama’s ear for taking America to war in Libya. Rebuffed by voters in Canada’s May 2, 2011 election, Ignatieff was the first candidate for prime minister to run with campaign help from members of the Obama campaign.

In fact, according to CP24, Ignatieff is “good friends” with Samantha Power, a senior adviser to Obama during his presidential campaign, a member of his transition team and now a member of the National Security Council.

“Ignatieff met Power, a Pulitzer Prize winning author, journalist and academic, when he became director of the Carr Center. Power was the center’s founding executive director. “He also became friends with Power’s husband, Cass Sunstein, a Harvard professor and constitutional law expert who now heads up the White House Office of Information and Regulatory affairs. “And he got to know Larry Summers, president of Harvard during Ignatieff’s stint at the Carr Center. Obama has appointed Summers as director of the National economic Council.

Both Ignatieff and Obama are products of Harvard University. This is why it is all the more outrageous that Rae would send out an Obama-like ‘Friend’ email (See Below) to the entire country on the so-called Robocalls “scandal”, described by the National Post’s Kelly McParland: “A scandalous absence of scandal in robocalls scandal” (National Post, March 13, 2012). When ganged up together, the Liberal Party, New Democrat Party et al excel in cooked up scandals. In the past it was failed attempts at “Government by Coalition”. Today it’s Robocalls sustained by Internet social media. “Misleading, harassing phone calls? Instant-voters with no address? Not in my Canada. It’s time for the truth,” Rae wrote in his ‘Friend’ email to all yesterday. “That’s why yesterday in Question Period I called on the Conservative Government to immediately launch a Royal Commission on electoral fraud,” Rae boasted. No mention from Rae on the failed city-wide protests in Canada on Sunday. No mention of the projection of the joined-at-the-hip Liberals and NDP blaming the very tactics they resort to on the Conservatives. Before dumping the Robocall non-scandal on the Stephen Harper-led Conservatives only nine-months after their election, the failed Opposition had tried to force Coalition Government on Canadians. “The 40th session of parliament began on November 27, 2008, with a fiscal update by the Conservatives that outlined their agenda for the upcoming term. This included a temporary suspension of Federal employees’ right to strike and a removal of the monetary subsidies for political parties. All three opposition parties, including the NDP stated that they could not support this position.” (Wikipedia). The late Jack Layton, along with then Liberal leader Stephane Dion and Bloc Québécois leader Giles Duceppe began negotiations to form a coalition that would replace the Conservatives as the government. In other words, the three parties were willing to consort with the Party of Separatists to get their coalition. The three opposition parties planned to table a motion of non-confidence in the House of Commons, and counted on the likelihood that the Governor General, then Michaëlle Jean, would invite the coalition to govern instead of dissolving parliament and calling an election so soon after the last election held on October 14, 2008. On December 1, 2008, in the U.S., a man called Barack Obama was awaiting his January 20 inauguration. On Dec. 1,. 2008, in Canada, the three Canadian opposition leaders signed an accord that laid down the basis for an agreement on a coalition government. The proposed structure would be a coalition between the Liberals and the NDP, with the New Democrats getting six Cabinet positions. Both parties agreed to continue the coalition until June 30, 2011. The Bloc Québécois would not be formally part of the government but would provide support on confidence motions for 18 months. All of the above without a single vote being cast by a single Canadian! Opposition to the proposed coalition developed in all provinces except Quebec. On Dec. 4, 2008, the Governor General granted Prime Minister Harper’s request to suspend parliament until January 26, 2009, at which time Harper had planned to introduce the budget. Dion had since been ousted from the leadership of the Liberals and his successor, Michael Ignatieff, had distanced himself from the coalition. Layton remained committed to ousting the Harper government,. pledging that the NDP would vote against the Conservative budget regardless of what it contained. Layton urged Ignatieff’s Liberal Party to topple the Conservatives before the shelf life of the coalition expired; constitutional experts said that four months after the last election, if the government fell, the Governor General would likely grant the Prime Minister’s request to dissolve parliament instead of inviting the coalition. Layton died on August 22, 2011. His long-time personal friend Bob Rae became Liberal Leader replacing the defeated Ignatieff in 2011. That’s why, nine months later, Canadian opposition parties still work on ways to bring down the Conservative government. In Canada, there is little if any difference between the Liberals and the NDP. Bob Rae is LINO (Liberal in Name Only). He’s a socialist who grew up calling UN Poster Boy Maurice Strong, second only to George Soros in Obama mentorship, “Uncle Mo”. Nowhere in his well-oiled trajectory from Ontario’s first socialist premier to leader of the Canadian Liberal Party has Bob Rae ever denounced socialism. The emperor who works from the inside to bring the duly elected Conservative Government down hasn’t changed his policy, only his political stripe. In Canadian politics, some astro-turfed conspiracies never end.
