Attacks on Dion
The Conservatives have ‘viciously’ attacked Stéphane Dion after he won full support from fellow Liberals as our party’s new leader. The Conservatives stated that they plan on pinning the party’s shortcomings while serving at pleasure of Canadians in government. I think the Conservatives’ have made poor judgment on this decision because the Gomery Report has exonerated him from the sponsorship scandal in fact, Mr. Dion opposed ad scam and the sponsorship scandal altogether and didn’t want any part of it.
The Western Standard’s Ezra Levant stated in his Calgary Sun column: “When it comes to making decisions about the war on terror, and Canada’s role in Afghanistan, will Dion be unduly influenced by France, a country that has taken up the role of lawyer and arms dealer for every terrorist state in the world, even defending Saddam Hussein until the eve of his overthrow?”
I have a few questions for Mr. Levant: ‘Are you an idiot?’, ‘Have you not read a paper or watched television in the past several months?’, ‘Why are you questioning Stéphane’s loyalty to Canada?’.
I am going to take the words directly from his mouth; he’s a Canadian first, Quebecker second. Nor should you doubt him. Stéphane is so proud of being Canadian his pride floods whatever room he’s in – he truly is a Canadian. Monsieur Dion is not influenced by France; Canada is the only country in his heart.
The Canadian Government encourages oneself to embrace their heritage regardless of foreign nationality by taking on dual citizenship. The Harper Government recently reported that they are looking into cutting social programs to Canadians who hold dual citizenship and lived abroad in that country for a long period.
If the Conservatives’ were to enact this policy it will be found to be unconstitutional since in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and our constitution, it dictates that all Canadians have the right to social programs. We are a nation of equality; however the Conservatives aren’t a party of equality, their fakers. They proved this by closing down 12 of 16 Status of Women Offices across the country and are unwilling to meet Arabic groups – despicable.
