Presumption of Innocence

We seem very quick to judgement the days, especially if the person accused is conservative. What happened to presumed innocence?  Saulie Zajdel and anyone accused of a crime has the right to due process. Mayor Fontana of London has had charges made against him and the biased msm have basically ignored that. There are no charges against Mayor Ford, yet the despicable, biased red star continues their smear campaign. The left wing msm picks and chooses their when to be outraged. 

 Saulie is innocent until proven guilty and I'm not at all sure that he will be found guilty.

Brent Rathgeber Independent MP

Brent Rathgeber stood up for his convictions and gave a rebuke to the Conservative party. The party would be wise to listen. Changing the sunshine list to over $444000 is ridiculous. It would really cover almost no one. The number should be reduced to $120000. It is the people's money/ let them see how it is spent. Mp's and senators expenses should also be published. The Tories seem to be in a funk. It is time for brave new policy initiates to move forward. May I suggest a flat tax! The free trade deals need to move ahead and we need to bring down interprovincial trade barriers. Senator Lebretton's proposals on the senate seem very reasonable. The Tories need to move forward and be as transparent as possible~

The Coronation +60!!!

Today marks 60 years since the glorious Coronation of Our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth. God Save the Queen!!! V. O Lord, save Elizabeth, our Queen. R. And hear us on the day we call upon you. V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come before you. V. The Lord be with you. R. And with your spirit. Almighty God, we pray, that your servant Elizabeth, our Queen, who, by your providence has received the governance of this realm, may continue to grow in every virtue, that, imbued with your heavenly grace, she may be preserved from all that is harmful and evil and, being blessed with your favour may, with her consort and the royal family, come at last into your presence, through Christ who is the way, the truth and the life and who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Munk Debate:Taxing the Rich Be it resolved tax the rich (more)

It should be an interesting debate. Art Laffer and Newt Gingrich against George Papandreou ( from Greece lol) and Krugman. You know that I oppose increasing taxes on the wealthy. We are now watching how well this is working in Hollande's France. You can watch the debate live here , starting at 7pm.

A Big Dipper loss

I was out at an event honoring Dr Joshi, the CEO of my hospital. Sugar Sammy was the headliner. I was dreading the BC election results. Adrian Dix would have been terrible for BC and Canada.  As we all know , the BC liberals are a coalition that  is there to fight the left. I am not a Christy Clark fan  and the BC Conservatives self destructed. So the coalition to defeat the socialists held. I hope Premier Clark will be true to her speech at the Manning center a few years ago. She sounded quite conservative and reasonable that day.   I guess I should always listen to my friend Ken Boessenkool who told me that she could pull this off.
 So though I am not a big Christie Clark fan, I am very happy that the dippers have been defeated!!! I am also reminded that pollsters in this country have not been very accurate if late. I am reminded of the statement of HM Prime Minister Diefenbacher who said http://www.conservativeforum.org/authquot.asp?ID=225>

... dogs know best what to do with polls.</>

 Premier Clark seems to have lost her own seat. I hope she rethinks some of her positions, but today I offer my http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2013/05/14/bc-election.html>congratulations.
