The Real Free Enterprise Party

There was an article in the Vancouver Province today that talked about how BC Liberals are continuing to jump ship in favour of the BC Conservatives under the leadership of John Cummings. I found the sub heading to the article somewhat bizarre. It said Free-enterprise parties tied as Adrian Dix and the NDP sit at 43%.

Hold the door. Gordon Campbell and Christy Crunch's liberals have absolutely nothing to do with free enterprise. Stop saying that. Where did such an absurd misconception come from? Low and behold it came from a Chuck Strahl press release.

Chuck Strahl, a six-term MP for the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon federal riding, will chair the campaign to elect Liberal candidate Laurie Throness on April 19. In a press release Wednesday, Strahl said the B.C. Liberals are the only free-enterprise party of choice. That is the source of the absurdity.

Likewise, the Harper Government is not a Free Enterprise Party. Not at all. They talk the talk but they most certainly don't walk the walk. Their is a difference between supporting huge corporations greed to rip off consumers then supporting free enterprise which implies supporting small business. Ironically enough, Jack Layton spoke a lot about supporting small business. At least when Jack Layton said someone I was a lot more likely to believe him than I was likely to believe anything Stephen Harper of Peter McKay said. Firing whistleblowers for proving they lied was shameful.

I would say John Cummings provincial conservatives are a free Enterprise party. I just think that Harper lost that vision when he merged with Mulroneyism. Something the real free enterprise party broke away from for it's apostasy of conservative values. Pauil Forseth however, has shown he supported Free Enterprise. He opposed TELUS' use of off shore call centres. He is a solid candidate for the BC Conservatives.

Having said that, I don't have the same fear and paranoia about Adrian Dix as Stephen Harper's spin doctors would have us feel. Carol James had dignity. Adrian Dix supports addressing inner city crime. Mike Farnworth would make an awesome Attorney General. Opposing perpetual gas taxes supports small business. Opposing the HST supports small business. Aside form the dramatic and erroneous stereotypes. There is noting in the NDP platform that opposes free enterprise or small business.

Liberal Back Chat in the Vancouver Province:

SIMPLE MESSAGE

The message to politicians is: Don't you ever, ever treat us with such arrogance and disdain or we will vote your sorry butts out.

LIBERALS WILL PAY

The electorate showed this on the HST referendum - and it should come as no shock - that the majority would rather face four years of an NDP government than reward the Liberals for past wrongdoings.

'FIBERALS' SOLD US OUT

Vote NDP, Conservative, Green or even the Pot Party. Just do not vote for the B.C. Fiberals.

The Fiberals have sold us all out with their corruption.

FOOL ME ONCE . . .

Cheating and lying eventually catches up, you can only fool people for so long.

PART NAME IS A LIE

What can you expect from a party that calls itself the "Liberal" Party, but is right of Attila the Hun. Even the name of its party is a lie.

SWITCHING COLOURS

Worst government in B.C. history. After being a longtime Liberal, I am voting NDP. I don't see things changing with a Conservative government. If anything, it will create more corporate tax breaks. Just look at the federal Conservative Party.

LIBERALS, BE GONE!

Best news I have heard in years. What would be even better is to see the Fiberals wiped off the political map in B.C.

WAKE UP TO 'LIEBERALS'

Hallelujah! People are finally starting to wake up to the Lieberal corruption. Trouble is 14 months is a long time to wait. They can cause lots more damage in that length of time. Better to recall them now to save what's left of the province.

LIMITED CHOICES

The NDP are just sitting on their hands. No need for a platform, just wait and take power. B.C. does another polar swing to the left. The right just wants to sell off B.C., then all move to the U.S.A. to play golf 'til they need medical, then they'll come back.

STOP CORRUPT LOBBYING

Time to do away with this gang/party system. Stop business and union donations to parties. Parties should be working for the taxpayers, not entities who want something in return. Stop all this corrupt lobbying.

Nationally, opposition leaders are calling for Peter McKay's resignation over the undisclosed snowballing costs of the numerous fighter jets to support Harper's Oil Wars.

"Even if we were to believe that the chief of defence staff and the generals were plotting behind the minister's back to lie to Parliament, to lie to Canadians -- highly unlikely -- it would only prove that the defence minister is not in control of his own department," Mulcair said during question period Wednesday.

"A $10-billion piece of misinformation does not happen by immaculate conception . . . when is the prime minister of Canada going to take responsibility for what took place," Rae asked. Harper take responsibility for anything? Who are you kidding?

Down south Obama just signed legislation to finally stop insider trading within congress. Sounds good. That is a huge problem right now. Let's see if it's ever implemented. After all, Guantanamo bay is still open.

Targeted shooting in Surrey and a Suspicious death

There was a targeted Shooting in Surrey Wednesday nightoutside Safeway at Surrey central. The target was hit in the abdomen and is expected to survive. Not far away there was another Suspicious death in Surrey. A 40 year old man's body was found Sunday morning in the 10500 block of King George. A Suspicious death and a targeted shooting mean the targets were known to the police.

Johnny Newcome and Cycle logic

Johnny Newcome is listed as the president of Cycle logic. He is another full patch member of the Hells Angels. This news report claims that while the police searched his home for information about a Maple ridge grow op, they found he had another grow op in Peachland. I’m not sure how Robert Thomas is connected to Cycle logic but one source claims there is some kind of connection there. Breaking News: Johnny Newcome Busted!

The Three Amigos and the North American Union

The three amigos are in the news. Harper is meeting with Obama and the president of Mexico to discuss free trade. Free trade is one thing but the north american security prosperity partnership is another. There’s nothing really wrong with free trade. Other than sending our jobs to Mexico so the large corporations can exploit cheap labour.

The problem is signing a free trade agreement that really has nothing to do with free trade. The problem is signing a free trade agreement that forfeits our sovernty and removes our democratic rights. I kid you know.

There have been various names for these secret deals that give courts more power than human citizens. First there was NAFTA. Then there was TILMA. Now there’s the NAU or more covertly known as the North American Security and Prosperity Agreement.

NAFTA opened Pandora’s box and TILMA let the plague loose. Under NAFTA UPS sued the Canadian government because they were unable to compete against Canada Post because they already had a delivery system in tact so they had an unfair advantage in being able to provide consumers with a cost effective product. I kid you not. That’s like suing Greyhound for delivering parcels because they already have a network of busses in place. Greyhound delivering parcels only makes sense. Suing them and trying to stop them so someone else can do the same thing at a greater cost is ridiculous.

TILMA was worse. They signed a provincial free trade agreement that made it illegal for any level of government to create a law that would inhibit a corporation’s ability to make a profit. If you want to create a law that would protect the environment and it inhibited a corporation’s ability to make a profit, then that law would be illegal according to the absurd free trade agreement.

If a democratic society chooses to create a public health care system and that system inhibited a private corporation’s ability to make a profit, then that democratic system would be illegal according to the absurd agreement.

Recently Stephen Harper announced that they would let armed US police officers patrol with Canadian police officers in Canada. That has nothing to do with free trade. It is a colossal concern when the US recently passed the most unpatriot act in recorded history that threw away the constitution and the bill of Rights.

Giving the military power to set up checkpoints and arrest “domestic terrorists” without a charge, without representation and without a fair trial is unprecedented and illegal. Especially concerning when at the same time England labeled everyone in the Occupy movement as a domestic terrorist. It is a huge concern when the government throws away the constitution and bill of rights. That is what wars are fought over.

Bacchus and the Darksiders still kiss ass

Police specializing in organized crime are keeping a close watch on the Darksiders, a Dartmouth-based motorcycle club that recently expanded to Bridgewater. Police say the club is a criminal group set up to defend turf for the Hells Angels. The Darksiders have had a clubhouse on Portland Street in Dartmouth for three years.

Mike Weatherley, the group's sergeant-at-arms, said police constantly watch club members. He said the Darksiders support the Hells Angels, but said his club is not a criminal organization.

Weatherley's biker vest is covered in red and white pins paying homage to the Hells Angels. He said the affiliation with the biker gang grew out of a friendship between one Darksider and a childhood friend, who's a member of the Hells Angels in Ontario.

Weatherley's vest may well be covered in Red and White but his smelly nose is sure brown. Look at their ridiculous logo. It sure sucks to be a puppet. Both ways.



Likewise, the members of the St. George chapter of the Bacchus Motorcycle Club say they are not Hell's Angels. Of course not. They aren't real boys, they're just puppets.

In an interview at their clubhouse on Canal Road, chapter president Tim Guthrie and member Morton Cooke say Burden's comments have caused the eight members of the chapter great pain and embarrassment. "I feel bad about what a lot of people think of us now. People look at us differently now. My daughter has even questioned me over it so I had to sit down and explain all this to her," said Guthrie.

lol what's the matter? Did the Po Po tell the public the real story about how you got your name? Bacchus was an alternate name for Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, women and song and their patch is a Roman soldier. Dionysus, my ass. If the club was named after Dionysus, they would be called Dionysus but they're not they're called Bacchus who was a Roman soldier alright. He was openly gay with Sergius and secretly Christian. They should be proud of their true heritage. They're the first 1% club to chose the patron saint of homosexuality for their logo. At least they put a condom on their nose for all that HA ass kissing.

Quebec Hells Angel caught in Panama

Michel Smith, a member of Quebec's Hells Angels who was wanted in Canada for the killings of 22 people as well as for drug trafficking has been arrested in Panama, police confirm. Panama?

Smith was one of 24 Hells Angels members and associates who escaped sweeping raids that targeted high-ranking Hells Angels in Quebec and New Brunswick in April 2009. Those raids led to 129 arrests, and the seizure of millions of dollars in cash, drugs and weapons. The charges laid in that sweep related to homicides and drug trafficking during the height of the province's biker wars.

Homicides and drug trafficking – those go hand in hand. The biker war in Quebec was a fight over drug territory. They were fighting over the right to sell drugs in a given area. It had nothing to do with riding motorcycles or living the dream. It was all about greed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Murdering rivals had absolutely nothing to do with honour and loyalty. It was about money. The money that could be made from drug trafficking. The convictions in Edmonton and Winnipeg clearly shows how this money making machine really works.

Not only do the Hells Angels profit from bringing cocaine into the country to be sold as crack, but they charge their puppet clubs who sell the drugs for them protection money. It’s a double dip. Profiting from the sale of drugs and profiting from the collection of protection money from the people that sell their drugs for them. That is a scam indeed. If they don’t pay their protection money, they’ll get someone else to sell their drugs for them. With friends like that, who needs enemies.

The Great Canadian Bank Bailout Fraud

We did bail out the banks in Canada. I’ve talked about this before but I want to centralize the links because the story keeps getting buried deeper and deeper as time goes on. Most of us thought, myself included, that we didn’t bail out our banks in Canada because we didn’t need to. We didn’t have the same mortgage fraud going on and we didn’t see the same ripple effect of multiple foreclosures of homes like they did in the States. Logic would then imply that there wasn’t the same need to bail out our banks in Canada. That’s without even discussing the fraudulent nature of the Bank bail out in the States.

In fact, when the Occupy movement started in Canada, the Harper government came right out and said our situation in Canada is different than in the US because we didn’t have to use tax dollars to bail out the banks in Canada like they did in the US. We believed them because we thought that was a true statement. After all, that’s not something the government could lie about and get away with or is it?

They did lie about not bailing out the banks. Rabble .ca pointed out that fact very clearly. Some will cover their ears and scream because of the source I just cited. That’s a left wing news source, we can’t trust it. I don’t care if it’s left wing or right wing. Is their claim true or false? That is what I care about.

The Green Party has also posted that the Harper Government did indeed bail out the banks to the tune of $69 billion. That’s billion not million. That single act took us from a surplus in the millions to a deficit in the billions. That was unprecedented.

We can and will debate the merits of a bank bail out. The problem is, we were never given that option and we are still forbidden to debate that issue because then Harper Government has lied about it and covered it up so most voters and most taxpayers doesn’t even know it happened.

This is not a small lie like Peter McKay denied he referred to Belinda Stronach as a dog when he was caught on tape doing so. This is not a small lie like claiming they didn’t know about Harper’s senior aids criminal record for fraud when it was mentioned before he got the job. This isn’t even a big lie like denying we knew Canada was handing over prisoners to be tortured in Afghanistan when we did. That was a big lie. Firing the whistleblower didn’t change that.

Saying that we didn’t bail out the banks when we did is a huge lie. It is unprecedented. It makes the Robocall scandal, as serious and offensive as that is, to be small potatoes in comparison. Cutting our sacred pensions to give to the banks who didn’t need it is the biggest political scandal in Canadian history.

People will scoff at the mainstream media for not running the story. Yet I don’t really think it’s their fault. I really think most people don’t know it happened. To say it did would be to call the current government liars. I think people really need to open their eyes because someone is trying to pull the wool over them.

Now that we have established that the Harper Governement did lie about giving the banks a tax payers bailout, we need to discuss the merits of a bank bailout. Beofre we do that we need to come to some kind of financial accounting. Was it &69 billion or was it more than that? Was it a single payment or where there many payments. Which would make the true accounting problematic. We gave them &65 billion at one point but we gave them more money at several other points.

We need to find out how they hid these transactions and we need to find out what the total amount is before we continue ripping off taxpayers indefinitely.

In all fairness one could argue that statement was time sensitive. We didn’t need to bail out the banks in Canada like they did in the States. That is a true statement. We didn’t give the banks a huge amount of money at first. Stephen Harper went to England and told David Cameron that we don’t believe in bailing out the banks with tax dollars in Canada. Some point after that visit he came full circle and the dirty deed was done.

After we find out how they hid the transactions and how much of tax payers money they gave the banks, we need to discuss the merits of a bank bailout. To do that we need to discuss the fraud that creates these manufactured emergencies to it doesn’t happen again.

BCCI was the largest bank collapse in British History. That bank collapsed because of, arms dealing, drug smuggling and money laundering which is always tied to investment fraud because greed always consumes them. They always want a higher return on their money so they resort to fraud to rip people off to do it.

Calgary Hells Angel house burned down

Wow, I missed this one too. Speaking of suspicious fires, a rural house belonging to a member of the Calgary Hells Angels burned down in February 12 2012.

Initially it was reported to be their clubhouse. However, the Calgary Herald claimed a police source said the property is owned by someone with links to the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, but it is not their clubhouse. The local Hells Angels have a clubhouse east of Calgary at another location.

Scott Jamieson’s Showgirls

Let’s take a look at Edmonton Hells Angel Scott Jamieson and his company Showgirls located in Edmonton. Kim Bolan spotted his hummer advertising his company at the Whiterock Hells Angels party in their Langley Clubhouse. 5 PM Saturday Kim Bolan recorded: One Hummer with Alberta plates advertises its business with detail painting: Showgirls Exotic Nightclub of Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie and Edmonton.



A Hells Angel from Edmonton associated with Grande Prairie and Fort McMurray. Now that is suspicious. We know that a Hells Angels’ puppet club in Grande Prairie called the Baseball team was recently involved in Grande Prairie’s largest cocaine bust. We also know that the Edmonton Hells Angels (51 – Edmonton Angels) supplied the White Boys Posse as they branched out from Edmonton trafficking cocaine in smaller towns all over northern Alberta.

We know that two patrons of Showgirls in Edmonton followed a mentally challenged mark after he left the club then robbed and beat the victim to death. The judge in that case noted the bouncer admitted he initially lied to police about the incident, but accepted that was explained by his fear that his manager could have been involved and the club was owned by the Hells Angels.

We know that Neil Patrick Cantrill, an Alberta Hells Angel was accused of the production and distribution of large amounts of methamphetamine. Court documents allege the Hells Angels are believed to be in control of "meth" sales in Fort McMurray.

We know that Two Hells Angels from the Edmonton chapter allegedly partnered up with a Fort McMurray drug kingpin to ensure his cocaine-trafficking operation ran smoothly. The full-patch Hells Angels were Alan Peter Knapczyk, 35, and John Reginald Alcantara, 37, and the head of the Fort McMurray drug gang was Jeffrey Mark Caines, 36, who plead guilty to trafficking cocaine.

Alcantara - who was handed a 14-year prison sentence after being convicted of conspiring to traffic cocaine - pleaded guilty to an identical charge. He admitted he had entered into an agreement to assist Caines traffic cocaine in Fort McMurray, but denied that Knapczyk was part of it. I.E. he took the fall for him.

The prosecutor alleged Alcantara, who was then a prospect for the Hells Angels and sponsored by Knapczyk, was the front man in the agreement and collected the weekly fee while Knapczyk was the enforcer behind the scenes.

Court heard the agreement involved the removal of any rivals of Caines' drug gang, ensuring other suppliers in the area did not undercut his business and the protection of Caines and his distributors for a weekly fee of $20,000.

"Essentially it gave Caines free rein to supply cocaine in the specified area and protection for those he supplied," said Hrabcak. "In return he paid a fee or tax to the individuals. The reputation of the Hells Angels was used to enforce the agreement." That makes it a criminal organization alright.

The Hells Angels were convicted of doing the same thing in Winnipeg. Not only did they profit from selling the Zig Zag crew cocaine which they in turn sold as crack, but they also collected dues or protection money from them to eliminate rivals in the drug trade. That pattern keeps repeating itself across the country as they branch out and take over the drug trade in smaller towns and communities.

Clearly Scott Jamieson’s Showgirls in Edmonton appears to be the same hub in Edmonton that Tbarz in Surrey is for the Jones brothers drug trafficking operation. Seize the bar. Word is on the street that the Edmonton PD is still struggling with allegations of passing on information to the Hells Angels. Maybe that’s why they were suppressing homicide stats by calling a SUV riddled with bullets as a suspicious death instead of a homicide.

What I really want to know is in one hand we have strippers and blow. In the other hand we have crack and hoes. There was a girl who went missing from Edmonton. Shannon Collins Her sister was told she was working in the sex trade industry for the Hells Angels.

Sadly enough, just like the Surrey house of horrors, Georgina Papin from Edmonton’s remains ended up on the Pickton farm. She frequented Showgirls. Just like Stephanie Lange from the Orange Number Five in East Van did. The Orange Number Five was run by the Hells Angels as well. There also seems to be a few missing women from the Edmonton area. If the Hells Angels control the drug trade and the strippers in Edmonton, do they control the prostitution there as well?

Restoring Faith in the RCMP

Without flogging a dead horse I will cite the news that there are two new faces added to the list involved in the class action sexual harassment suit against the RCMP. Despite the fact that many of the complaints go back over 20 years, one is forced to ask how such a large organization became so unprofessional and politically incorrect.

We realize that times have changed. Now people are rightfully concerned with sexual harassment and racial discrimination. Back in the day, the TV series Archie Bunker demonstrated how inappropriate some forms of racial humor and bigotry was at one time.

We do joke about how far we have come to the extreme where we sometimes become over sensitive to being so politically correct, the original quest becomes distorted and lost. An example of that is the recent Human rights complaint about Earls using the term Albino Rhino Chicken Wings.

When I first saw the half page add in the paper announcing the human rights complaint, I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a add promoting the Albino Rhino Chicken Wings at Earls. I wondered if they were really serious. The next day the Vancouver Province ran a full page ad confirming that they were serious about the complaint. A group of albinos were complaining the term was being used on a menu.

The day after that the letters and comments poured in from readers who thought they were going a bit too far. One reader said my favorite dish at the Chinese food restaurant is the fat boy then asked if he could sue. Implying that he was over weight and the use of that term was discriminatory. As far as I’m concerned the term albino used at Earls was just an adjective like black eyed peas or white chocolate. Being Albono isn’t really something people view as being bad.

Likewise we can get carried away with sexual harassment. Recently we had our biannual sexual harassment training at work. You’d think that after taking it twice a year for so many years we would be well trained in how to sexually harass someone by now.

I realize that sexual harassment is nothing to joke about. We joke about it because we think it is so absurd. Forcing someone to perform sexual favors to get job promotions is just out of touch with reality these days. One of the questions on the training form says you can be guilty of sexual harassment just for staring even if you haven’t said anything.

Understandably there can be cases of leering or staring at a woman’s breasts or obviously looking her up and down which would clearly make her feel uncomfortable and be deemed sexual harassments. Yet this too can be taken to the extreme.

After the training session a coworker came up to me and was discussing something. I said you aren’t allowed to look at me when you talk to me because that’s leering and is sexual harassment. I was joking. Yet sometimes it feels like bloody hell, we can’t say anything. We can’t even look at someone. What are we supposed to do, walk around with out eyes closed and our mouths covered in the event that we might in some way offend someone?

Nevertheless, when you look at the RCMP complaint, the long list of infractions is quite significant. Making a female employee pose for a picture beside a naked blow up doll. Telling her husband that she had sex with coworkers at the office when she didn’t. Bringing dildos to work. It is getting rather bizarre and unprofessional. One has to wonder why every other large corporation gets sexual harassment training twice a year, and how the RCMP somehow avoids that. You would think the RCMP would be leaders in sexual harassment training and protect coworkers from that kind of abuse not be perpetrators of it.

I do remember a case where three female MLAs in Surrey were caught pulling a prank on each other with a jumping dildo of some sorts. It wasn’t deemed sexual harassment because they were all women but it did raise eyebrows and the public was forced to wonder how appropriate and how professional that was on the tax payer’s dime.
I guess that’s my emphasis here. What is professional and what is not. Sexual assault is a serious crime. When a police officer sexually assaults a fellow officer that is serious. All the other jokes and innuendos are kinda dumb and although it may not seem like a big deal to many, it really is unprofessional.

Here’s the deal. We don’t restore faith in the RCMP by hiding the dirt, we restore faith in the RCMP by addressing it. Clearly there has been an ongoing era of inappropriate unprofessionalism. This does need to change. Once that change is made and once a level of professionalism has returned to the organization, then public trust can return and be rebuilt. However, it has to be genuine not just a new series of ads and commercials. Raising self respect by building an organization members can be proud of will rebuild the public trust and respect. It’s that simple.
