A summary of articles, comments, opinon on Paul Martin

Friends, Torontonians, countrymen — lend me your votes
By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
Wednesday, January 18, 2006

When it first appeared that the next Parliament might be a Conservative minority, Paul Martin really started to lose it. He seemed to have faced the reality the position that was his birthright was going to be taken away from him. Some of Martin’s actions are reminiscent of those of former Ontario Liberal Premier David Peterson who, in the dying days of the 1990 campaign for an election that no one but him thought was necessary, warned that if the NDP were elected, children would go hungry. Peterson’s strange behaviour helped bring socialism to Ontario for five years, but the streets of the province were devoid of dead and dying babies.

Paul Martin's legacy -- a decline in moral values
By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
Tuesday, January 17, 2006

There are still a few days left before next Monday’s election and anything can happen. But barring some serious revelation or a huge faux pas on the part of the Conservative Party of Canada, "Scary Stephen" will be transformed into the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada.

This leader will self destruct in 5, 4, 3...
By John Lawrence
Sunday, January 15, 2006

For all of the confidence that politicians try to muster during election campaigns, none must be harder than the confidence one must project even when the end is inevitable and they know it. Such is the case right now with our prime minister, Paul Martin.

Time to come clean on CSL:
Martin commented on family company's operations despite ethics guidelines

for immediate release
Wednesday, January 11, 2006

The Issue: During the Leader’s debates and over the last few days, Paul Martin has been commenting on the business practices of his former company, Canada Steamship Lines. At a press conference in Montreal, Mr. Martin also dismissed questions about CSL’s environmental practices, suggesting that CSL does not pollute.

Paul Martin plays the "Mike Harris card"
By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
Friday, January 6, 2006

As the unofficial Christmas (or winter for the politically correct) break in the election campaign ends, Paul Martin sees his Liberal Party in a statistical tie with the evil Conservatives. If that isn’t bad enough, the Tories are slightly ahead in Ontario, where Martin so successfully scared many voters into voting for the Liberals in 2004.

A day late and a dollar short
by Klaus Rohrich
Friday, January 6, 2006

When referring to brazen people one of my grandfather’s favorite expressions was that they had "the balls of a canal horse". That’s how I’m seeing Paul Martin with his ever more bizarre promises that he hopes will save his sorry derriere. In an excerpt of a speech to the Winnipeg branch of the Canadian Club recently printed in the National Post, Martin lays claim to being Canada’s savior.

Nostalgia for Jean ChrČtien
By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
Friday, December 23, 2005

Joan Bryden wrote a column that appeared in the Ottawa Citizen earlier this week about former Prime Minister Jean ChrČtien's unannounced attendance at a Christmas party that was held in an Ottawa pub. As the sub headline so succinctly put it, the reception that ChrČtien got from some of the bar patrons shows that many people have lost faith in his successor. Some of the people who were interviewed made statements to the effect that they didn't particularly like the job that ChrČtien did in office, but…

The 12 days of Canadian Christmas
by Klaus Rohrich
Friday, December 23, 2005
On the first day of Christmas Paul Martin promised me A tax cut I couldn't even see.

On the second day of Christmas Paul Martin promised me Two welfare programs,
And a tax cut I couldn't even see.

Paul Martin's hypocrisy on same sex marriage
By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
Thursday, December 22, 2005

The Liberal Party is nothing if not hypocritical. This stems from the fact that unlike the NDP and the non-Liberal lite faction of the Conservative Party, they have no core beliefs. That’s not entirely true; they have two religious beliefs. One, they believe in God and two, they believe that God’s a Liberal who has ordained them as they only party that is ever fit to govern Canada.

Paul Martin's two classes of Canadian citizens
By Garth Pritchard
Wednesday, December 21, 2005

Prime Minister Paul Martin said Sunday that Abdullah Khadr, arrested by the RCMP in Toronto on a provisional warrant issued by the United States, will have all the rights of any Canadian citizen during a police investigation. He then went on to say, "The family came to Canada many, many years ago, and they obtained Canadian citizenship many years ago. They have Canadian citizenship, and we don’t have two classes of citizens."

Paul Martin — he's way past arrogant
By Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
Tuesday, December 20, 2005

Jean Chrétien was arrogant. But if anyone deserved to be arrogant it was the little guy from Shawinigan. Arriving in English speaking Ottawa as a unilingual francophone in the early 1960s, Chrétien worked hard and won the leadership of the Liberal Party almost 30 years later. He won three consecutive majority governments and would probably still have a majority had he chosen to stay.

Paul Martin, chicken hawk
by Klaus Rohrich
Tuesday, December 20, 2005

You’ve all seen him. He’s the pugnacious little guy that goes around badmouthing the biggest kid in the school, knowing full well that the big guy isn’t going to do anything because the braggart is so insignificant. But put in into a situation where fists might fly, the little hawk turns into a chicken.

Prime minister Paul Martin understands change
By John Lawrence
Tuesday, December 20, 2005

Mr. Martin has ceded the fact that a majority of Canadians want change, and Paul Martin says that he is the man to do it. I agree wholeheartedly. I believe that this is one of his most honest statements throughout his tenure as prime minister.

Canada Steamship Lines partnered with China in 1986
By Brian McAdam & Judi McLeod
Friday, December 16, 2005

Flying flags of convenience is an image problem for Canada Steamship Lines, the company Canada Prime Minister Paul Martin turned over to his three sons. In order to save on taxes, CSL vessels ply the oceans under foreign flags, including the flag of Liberia.

The technology for the self-unloading dry bulk commodities transportation capability that sets CSL apart from other shipping lines has long been provided by China, canadafreepress.com has learned,

Dictators, Prime Minister Paul Martin style
By Judi McLeod
Thursday, December 15, 2005

First came former Canadian Liberal Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, who portrayed President George W. Bush as a gunhappy cowboy about to take potshots at intelligent life on other planets.

Now, in the politically correct parlance of Canada Prime Minister Paul Martin, President George W. Bush is a dictator.

Okay for Martin to accuse the U.S. of lacking a "global conscience" when it comes to global warming, but not okay for U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins to warn Canadian politicians not to bash the U.S. as part of their election campaigning.

Prime Minister Paul Martin's cheap shot against the U.S.
By Judi McLeod
Wednesday, December 14, 2005

Only a mainline media could portray the United States as having made an "unprecedented foray into Canada’s election campaign."

That was the Reuters lead on a story warning Canadian politicians not to bash Washington in their bid to win the January 23 election.

An "unprecedented foray into Canada’s election campaign"?

What about Democrat darling Michael Moore on Canadian soil, telling Canadians that voting Conservative would ruin their country and the release of Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11--both events taking place just days before the last Canadian federal election?

Is University for Peace Maurice Strong's Costa Rican rain forest?
By Judi McLeod
Tuesday, December 13, 2005

Within a natural reserve that includes a secondary forest and–"the last private remnant of primary forest in Costa Rica"--is a university, which Canadian tax dollars have supported to the tune of about $13-million.

Liberal employees pose as "average Canadians" in television ads
By Judi McLeod
Monday, December 12, 2005

When it comes to sniffing out dirty Liberal campaign tricks, New Democrat Party Leader Jack Layton is nobody’s fool.

For canadafreepress.com, Layton’s defrocking real life Liberal employees posing as "everyday average Canadians" voting Liberal in television ads makes up for his January 3, 2005 trip to tsunami-ravaged Sri Lanka with Prime Minister Paul Martin.

Paul Martin feigns concern for Christians
by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor
Tuesday, November 22, 2005

When it comes to sheer hypocrisy, nothing can come close to the Liberal Party of Canada. Paul Martin came into office almost two years ago promising to slay the democratic deficit and do other wondrous things to change the way Ottawa had been running under the 10-year reign of Jean Chr»tien. Martin, of course, didn't change the way the government runs one iota, although he did manage to slow it down quite a bit.

Hidden Paul Martin firm linking leftwing activists to Information Highway

by Judi McLeod & David Hawkins February 3, 2005

Move over Teresa Heinz-Kerry, here comes Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. Lansdowne Technologies Inc. (LTI), the Paul Martin corporation that somehow disappeared from Martin's public disclosure statements circa 1995, is in a business similar to the Heinz-Kerry charitable organization that links leftwing activists and UN radicals to specially designed Internet communications and virtual private networks.

Paul Martin's photo-op from Human Tragedy by Judi McLeod
Monday, May 9, 2005
You'll never see this on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). That's because it's incredible, shot-on-site film footage that Prime Minister Paul Martin doesn't want you to see. Canadafreepress.com editors decided to post it here so that you can judge for yourself. It's never-seen-before film footage taking you back to January 3, 2005 when Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin and his entourage made an official visit to tsunami-ravaged Sir Lanka.

Paul Martin, King of Canada, Strikes Again
By Myles Higgins
Friday, October 21, 2005

How can we all tell a federal election is in the offing? Some might say it's because there are a couple of non-confidence votes coming up in the house next month. They'd be wrong. Others might refer to the fact that Paul Martin promised an election within 30 days of the release of the Gomery report. They'd be wrong.

Is Paul Martin anti-American?
by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor,
August 30, 2004

Last week, while addressing a teeny tiny group of people who assembled on Parliament Hill to protest the American missile defense system, Ontario Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish indirectly referred to the United States as "the coalition of the idiots".

Paul Martin's codeword for "who cares"
by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor
Friday, April 8, 2005

At the end of March, information that Dr. Shahram Azam had given to the Canadian government about the death of Zahra Kazemi was made public. Kazemi, a dual citizen of Canada and Iran was arrested in Iran two years ago after taking pictures of a student demonstration outside of a Tehran prison. The 54-year-old photojournalist from Montreal died in Iranian custody on July 11, 2003.

Paul Martin--Bubba of the north
by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor
January 11, 2005

Last Saturday, a memorial service was held in Ottawa's Civic Centre for the victims of the December 26 tsunamis in Asia. Services were also held in other parts of the country including Queen's Park and City Hall in Toronto.

Paul Martin doing China duty for Maurice Strong
by Judi McLeod
December 9, 2004

Parroting the line that China's economy will soon surpass that of the United States of America, Canada Prime Minister Paul Martin will position his country closer to China. Martin does not have a crystal ball, nor does aligning Canada to China even originate from his own vision. Martin is parroting the line of his long-time mentor Kyoto architect Maurice Strong.

Martin loan syndicate runs surveillance on Justice John Gomery
By David Hawkins & Judi McLeod
Monday, November 7, 2005

A detail overlooked by the mainline media in the Gomery Report: Raymond Garneau, special investor in the CAI Private Equity Group--the loan syndicate behind Paul Martin's family takeover of Canada Steamship Lines (‘CSL')--who has been running surveillance on Mr. Justice John H. Gomery since June 22, 2005.

If Martin's telling the truth — we're all in trouble
by Arthur Weinreb, Associate Editor
Monday, November 7, 2005

It really comes as no shock that the release of Justice Gomery's first report on the sponsorship scandal exonerated Prime Minister Paul Martin. The report, entitled "Who is responsible?" accepts what the PM has always claimed; that despite being the Minister of Finance, a member of the Treasury Board and perhaps most importantly, a senior cabinet minister from Quebec where all the action took place, he knew absolutely nothing about the fraud, kickbacks and money laundering that were taking place all around him. Martin had no involvement and not surprisingly, no one appeared before the Commission to contradict him.
