Days 42 & 43: September 12 & 13, 2015: Reasons NOT to Vote CON #'s 1101 to 1125

1101. Harper's personal PMO racist CON speech writer, Paul Bunner, wrote in a 2013 article titled "The Genocide that Failed" that Harper's official apology for Residential Schools was "The best that can be said of Harper’s apology is that it was a strategic attempt to kill the story and move on to a better relationship between Natives and non-Natives" and "The bogus genocide story of the Canadian Aboriginal residential schools system is an insult to all of us, Native and non-Native, dead or alive, who are justifiably proud of the peaceful, tolerant, pluralistic history and values of our great country. We should fight like hell to defend it from those who would corrupt it."

1102. Harper's Citizenship and Immigration Canada has been blamed by Abdullah Kurdi for the tragedy that killed his wife Rehanna and two sons. Kurdi is the father of a three-year-old Syrian boy whose little body washed up on a Turkish beach, was photographed, and shocked the world. His sister, Tima Kurdi, who lives in Coquitlam, B.C. said their plight was brought to the attention of Immigration Minister Chris Alexander when her local NDP MP handed over a letter to him in the House of Commons earlier this year. The fact that the Kurdis encountered red tape in their attempts to come to Canada has shone an international spotlight on Canada. As the world’s media relayed images of the lifeless boy, many outlets on different continents noted the Canadian connection to the tragic story. The Kurdi boys , Alan, 3, and Ghalib 5, and their mother were among at least 12 migrants, including five children, who drowned September 2, 2015 when two boats carrying them to the Greek island of Kos capsized. The grieving father said he paid smugglers 4,000 euros for the deadly voyage; the money his sister sent to him from Canada.

1103. Harper's Election 2015 CON Candidate for Kanata-Carleton, Walter Pamic, has been awarded at least $404,682.57 in government contracts since declaring his intent to run for the Conservatives in January 2015. An Ottawa-area CON candidate, he's also a small business owner, chair of an anti-union lobby group, and witness at Parliamentary committee hearings. Since 2010, Pamic has made $2.8 million dollars off the Harper Government.

1104. Harper's Election 2015 candidate CON Konstantin Toubis, for the Toronto-area riding of King-Vaughan, Ontario, shared advice on drunk women, latent homosexuality and "being a man" on Facebook. He deactivated his Facebook account following the publication of an article exposing his misogynistic and other advice by PressProgress.

1105. Harper has spent $481,927,263 on outside legal fees and more than $447,045 to defend the Prime Minister, his staff and ministers, according to documents tabled in the House of Commons.

1106. Harper & the CONs are now 4 for 4 on election fraud! Harper's retention of a foreigner to help influence the vote in Canada for Election 2015 is in direct violation of the Canada Elections Act, which states,

No person who does not reside in Canada shall, during an election period, in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting or vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate unless the person is 

(a) a Canadian citizen; or 

(b) a permanent resident within the meaning of subsection 2(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Harper & the CONs have now officially committed election fraud in 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2015 elections!

1107. Harper's CON MP Cheryl Gallant, (Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, Ontario), wrote an over-the-top climate change rant in The Renfrew Mercury on June 25, 2015. Gallant attributed Ontario's financial troubles to the “extremists” and “alarmists” who “cost the Ontario economy tens-of-thousands of jobs.” Gallant also claimed that “livestock producers would be put out of business as these extremists believe we all should be plant-eaters only.” On September 10, 2015, Kevin Grandia of DeSmogCanada, in analyzing Gallant's absurd claims, wrote, "This use of political rhetoric is unhelpful at best and damaging and insulting at worst as we try to do our part as a nation to deal with what is clearly a serious global issue. The issue of climate change, if dismissed and derided as Gallant would like, will cost Canada's economy much more dearly in the long run. It will particularly cost the rural farmers she tries to position herself as the champion of. We are already seeing the signs of protracted drought and not just in far off places like sub-Saharan Africa, but much closer to home in places like California and the American Midwest. And while it could be argued that in the short term there could be some net economic benefits to farmers in the great white north who will evade the initial damaging effects of climate change, the long-term outlook is much more dismal."
