The Tories totally drop the ball, sending body bags to Indian reservations before sending medicine and Liberal health critic Dr. Carolyn Bennett sends out a flyer featuring a picture of body bags and a sick aboriginal kid and she is apologizing?
WTF?
The many Suns Christina Spencer reports that "Grand Chief Ron Evans of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs told a parliamentary committee the flyer was 'very disturbing...it's really troubling to our people.' "
Let's frigging hope it was troubling Chief but what really should have pissed you off was the original action from the party that hung Louis Riel.
The Conservatives may be up, way up, in the polls, but that doesn't make them right, or even close to being right on this.
Why Dr. Bennett turtled is beyond me.
Attack, attack, attack.
WFDS
Wow!! The party that hung Riel?? Wow!!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you dont know why Ms Bennett is apologizing is maybe why the Libs dont want to have a grass roots convention. Ms Bennett is a good MP, she is a good person to have as Health Critic, but, this time she crossed the line. Like other MP's before her from all party's she understood her mistake and apologized for it. Good for her. I like her even better now. Bad for partisans I guess.

Does it not concern you at all that the first nations communities in question actually REQUESTED an increased requisition of body bags?
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely a lie and callous fabrication for political purposes to accuse the federal government of any thoughtlessness on this file.
Arn't you ashamed that a political party is using scare mongering about a real world wide pandemic for political partisan rhetoric.
Hve you no heart?
I grip.
ReplyDeleteYou need to get one.
As an aside, the use of the term "Reform-Conservatives" in that flyer screams Worn Kantsellit...you folks really need to dump that moron.
It wasn't the Conservative government, it was a bureaucrat in the Health department that decided to send the bags; twisting facts and misinforming for political purposes is alive and well. Second, I remember all the outrage when Conservatives used their own monies to launch "attack ads" but Liberals are strangely quiet when Liberals use tax payers money to launch attacks ads -- what gives?
ReplyDeleteI have no clue why Carolyn Bennett would issue an apology. I don't see any Harpercons apologizing for heckling her during QP when expressing a concern regarding this untested vaccine on pregnant women. Imagine, she's a doctor and isn't sure about something untested.
ReplyDeleteSidenote: Are we supposed to trust that it's safe from Leona Agluquack, a woman with not only no medical background but probably not even a university degree (I checked; no evidence of education or medical background). Goes to show she is nothing more than Steve's useful idiot for now.
Let me get this straight, CONbots are whining that a Liberal is 'scaremongering' because she sent a flyer that reported the government sent bodybags to First Nations communities who were in need of medical supplies? The same CONbots who cheer their own leader's scaremongering and slanderous mouthings around the issues of terrorism, Afghanistan, nuclear safety (remember Linda Keen? wasn't she pretty prescient to want the ACLU to have those nuclear operations down for the real work?) plus half a dozen other issues that were part of their 10-percenter blitzkrieg... You're a bunch of clowns. I take no offence with the Liberal pamphlet, but if it offended Ron Evans, good on her for stepping up and apologizing. Not something we'd see from the Blue Crewd Crew.
ReplyDeleteThose pesky facts getting in your way again Dan? What a shame......
