I wonder if Rob Anders believes the people pictured below were also "NDP hacks.""OTTAWA — Calgary MP Rob Anders — who embarrassed himself by falling asleep in the Veterans Affairs committee last week — offered an apology to veterans in the House of Commons Tuesday.
"...After nodding off in a committee meeting held in Halifax, Anders denied falling asleep. He later went on the offensive, describing two Afghan war veterans, who volunteer their time to help homeless former soldiers, as "NDP hacks" and supporters of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.
"Anders apologized for his comments about veterans advocates Jim Lowther and David MacLeod, both of whom are card-carrying Conservatives."

The following was reported in my February 2 article Uncomfortable Parallels:
"After Rob Anders called Nelson Mandela "a communist and terrorist," Harper said the Calgary MP was a true conservative and faithful supporter.".

A complete and utter idiot...a"true conservative", eh....
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess Anders would have to be a true Conservative. Who other than the Conservatives would ever disrespect our Veterans in that manner? Believe you me. I would tell every young member, to get the hell out of the military. If they are maimed for life, they get no pension, but a very inadequate buy-out. Harper has a damned gall, to expect anyone to go to war and fight for him.
ReplyDeleteOur young Canadian boys were blown to bits, to keep such as Harper from governing our country. Quite frankly, Harper is not worth their dying for, then and now.
I don't know what else it could possibly take, to rid this country of a monster such as Harper. Election fraud, theft of our tax dollars, dirty tactics, lies, deceit...What???
You know Norm, sometimes I just believe it would be better if ALL MP's and Senate Members dozed off.............

And leave senior bureaucrats to run things? OMG. We couldn't afford it.
DeleteI am more and more attracted though to the Athenian boule of ancient Greece. Members of the boule were selected by lot and served for one year. No person could serve more than twice in his life. Leaders of the boule (the prytany) consisted of 50 chosen from among the 500, and a new prytany was chosen every month. The person in charge of prytany was replaced every day from among the 50 members.
Such a system would result in people like Anders finding a suitable profession. Like burger flipping.

ReplyDeleteWe can't say he didn't warn us...yet no one believed him. Bet they will next time around...
Hi Norm,
ReplyDeleteas a gesture of goodwill, mr. anders should spend his next extended break from the house with the military on a fact finding tour of basic training. I'm sure he would find the experience most enlightning, and the NDP hacks and instuctors would be only too happy to see him.
That is about as civil as I can get under the circumstances, as I'm running out of language suitable to be used publicly in describing our provincial and federal govts.
In Afghanistan the poppies still grow,

Hello Norman. I totally agree with all sentiments here and posted in comments. It is just too bad this man's photo had to appear on the same page as the fallen soldiers. He is a disgrace. He has yet to reply to my email. The man comes across as an egotistical and narcissistic politician who feels he is sort of, shall I say "special" because he holds elected office. The best thing is for the riding is to turf him. Maybe he could sleep on his faux pas.

Hi Norm,
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm getting old and studied at the old school but I am disgusted that this peice of crap still has a job and a paycheck. an apology from the likes of him borders on insult!
There is really a glaring statement to all canadians about how much this bunch cares about those who fight for our freedom.
I should never have to see his face again nor should any canadian.

History plays strange jokes on people and societies that think they are superior, that in very short order, those very same people become dangerous jokes - frauds.
ReplyDeleteHerr Harper and his pathetic lot, have seized control and now it is up to good men and women to defeat this cancerous lot, just like 1939!
Hear! Hear! Great comment EE.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ 10:03 yesterday stated that the best thing is for the riding to turf him. The CON party riding association tried that, but Dear Leader would not allow it.

ReplyDeleteHe's a Reformatory from Calgary, home of our Petro-Sheik Harper, he has a sinicure for life.
Really Anders, Harper, Flanagan, McKay and the rest of the PsuedoCon ChickenHawks should all be sent to Afghanistan and be assigned to be patrol on point and human sappers who search for IEDs by simply stomping around at the head of the "real" soldiers!
