I just learned sad news that environmentalist, songwriter and singer Robert George Pickett (Bobby “Boris” Pickett) passed away on Wednesday to leukemia. He’s famous for singing and writing the famous Halloween hit song, Monster Mash. In October 2005 he protested against the United States inaction on global warming by releasing Climate Mash. He’ll be greatly missed. He’ll be missed by many.

Well known Canadian author Margaret Atwood has come out against the Harper Conservative government over the substantial cuts to the arts. She shown boldness when she told CBC Radio directly that the Conservatives hate those who dedicate their lives to moving our country further ahead to achieve a cultural society. I believe we have become a cultural society; however I believe that the Conservatives’ agenda has changed our path of direction and we are heading backwards due to their gross uncultured understanding.

The Conservatives have constantly proven they are unreasonably ignorant when it comes to preserving and the protection of the Canadian identity as we move closer towards American annexation of our differing and vibrantly positive understandings of how the world turns from the Canadian point-of-view. The ignorance of the Conservative agenda has damaged Canada’s reputation at country and international levels over the course of the past fourteen months under their relatively poor guidance.

Canadians are coming to realize that they made the right decision on January 23, 2006 by giving Prime Minister Stephen Harper a relatively small minority so they couldn’t push to implement their notions of mismanagement and leadership. Canadians have recognized that the Liberals are pushing harder then ever for change in government and will affect the results in the upcoming election.

The Liberals have been a constant ally of Canadian artists, authors, actors and musicians throughout its history as the prime leader in preserving, protecting, enriching and building the cultural society that all Canadians alike (except for the Conservatives) dream for. We’ve recognized that our artists have contributed a lot to the Canadian identity since pre-confederation and we need to award them for their efforts and the Liberals are the only party that has and will continue to do this.

The Liberals have constantly supplied young Canadians the tools and financial support to be successful in the ever so demanding and competitive international markets for literature, music, film and art. The arts are the body, mind and soul of the creativity that has made our country strive and the Conservatives are planning our country’s utter destruction.

The Harper Conservatives have fallen five percent in the recent poll conducted by Decima/Canadian Press that leaves them in the lead with thirty-four percent. The Conservatives have been sporadic in polling numbers throughout their first year in government. Nor does the polling data seem to be leaning in their favour for a majority hold of the House of Commons to project their national agenda if an election was called.

This weekend as some of you know, I went to the LPCBC convention in Sun Peaks last weekend. Michael Ignatieff and Gerard Kennedy were both special guests. In recent weeks Michael Ignatieff has impressed me as a Liberal and I regret the things that I’ve said to his key youth supporters during the leadership race.

He said that he’s learned a lot about Stephen Harper from sitting ten feet away from him, “When I look into his eyes I see emptiness.” Stephen Harper has proved himself soulless on multiple occasions since taking the oath of office last year after his party’s election into government.

The Stéphane-Elizabeth Pact has successfully been spinned in favour of the Green Party that has finally given the party an upper hand dealing in Canadian politics. I am every so hopeful that the Green Party in the next election will be invited to the Leadership Debate since they’ve constantly proven that they are not a party of a singular issue and they’ve shown competence in environmental leadership that hasn’t gone commended for their tireless efforts since their founding in 1983. Elizabeth May herself has shown dedication to her country by actively pursuing a greener Canada. The Greens are comfortably sitting at eleven percent.

The Bloc Québécois have lost one percent since the last poll that was released last month through the Angus Reid Global Monitor’s website.

The New Democrats have seen some gains they now stand at fifteen percent. To me this is quite disalarming to learn that the NDP has gained more momentum over the course of the last several weeks. They are a party of only chit-chat. Not action. After all they were the ones that propped up the Conservatives into government. What resulted in their course of action? National Childcare, Kyoto, and the Kelowna Accord have been sacrificed. We have to remind Canadians that the NDP isn’t a party for them. I certainly wouldn’t entrust my life in a NDP government, federally or even provincially. Their bad blood. The Liberal Party must appeal to Liberal soft NDP supporters while we are working up to a possible election.

The Liberals gained only a single point in these polling numbers, I expect that we’ll see more gains from this party in the upcoming weeks due to the rumours that are building up momentum that the Stephen Harper Conservative government may call an election.

Okay so I am not the biggest fan of George Stromboulopoulos however, I will not discredit him by saying he’s unintelligible (didn’t appreciate him inviting Belinda Stronach on his show and dehumanizing her). He covers Stephen Harper’s hate for the media.

This video truly proves that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is clueless when it comes to comedy. The jokes are on him.

The Anth Zone is committed to exposing Conservative corruption one YouTube video at a time . . .

This fifth estate YouTube video may look like it was made in Windows Media Maker (probably was) but don’t judge a video by its software. I thought it was very well put together and it exposes the truth - Stephen Harper is a douche.

I am going to be out of town this weekend since I am going to Sun Peaks for the Liberal Party of Canada in BC’s biennial convention where I’ll get to meet Michael Ignatieff and Gerard Kennedy, again.

Please expect a few of TheAnthZoneTV posts when I’m away. Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen.

Former-Conservative Candidate for British Columbia Southern Interior, Derek Zeisman has admitted to his unsuccessful in smuggling liquor across the border into Canada in December 2005 he also faces serious dangerous driving charges while campaigning in the last election.

He ran to replace retired Conservative MP Jim Gouk. Fortunately he lost the election to the New Democrats (sadly). Derek has forfeited his vehicle, a Mercedes and will be charged five thousand dollars in penalties. I hope he ends up getting some jail time for dangerous driving.

Stephen Harper said that if Zeisman won the election he wouldn’t be allowed to join the caucus. Most likely he would have been welcomed into the caucus with open arms by Prime Minister Stephen Harper himself. We all know that the Conservatives are dirtier politickers.

The Liberal Party of Canada recently released a new television ad this week. Please do not be surprised that this is not a a smear ad, we Liberals do not want to bring us down to the Conservatives unhonest playing field.

I’m disappointed with the justice system here in Canada after Xiao Zhang pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing death and failure to stop at scene of an accident on June 27, 2006. Mr. Zhang is responsible for taking the life of New Zealand tourist Dr. David Higgins while walking the sidewalks of the downtown core of Vancouver. Zhang tried to flee the process by running off to Toronto but was unsuccessful.

God, I love it when they catch stupid criminals with their pants down at their ankles. He only eleven months for the dreadful crimes he committed. He should have received five to ten years of prison time since he admitted to the committed crimes instead of facing twenty five to life. The Conservatives haven’t carried through with their campaign commitments to establish a mandatory minimum prison sentence for violent criminals. Though, we could appreciate that Zhang has forfeited his license and vehicle and cannot drive for another two years but I’m pretty sure, if he hit a guy downtown, he’ll do it again. Where is the justice?

I believe that Saskboy from Abandoned Stuff should run for nomination to run for the Green Party in the upcoming election for two reasons; 1) he’s constantly proven himself that he’s knowledgeable on the issues that Canadians face & 2) he can represent the people of Saskatchewan and promote the issues that are important to them. He takes great pride in helping others and honestly, even as a Liberal, I’d like him in the House of Commons as the next MP in the Green Caucus for Wascanna Centre or Yorktown-Melville. So Saskboy, you better run. I’m counting on you.

I’m heartbroken to read the latest article on the CBC’s website to only learn that my love is leaving me. Yes my love is Belinda Stronach forever and ever since she’s walks with elegance and beauty wherever she must go, I wish her all the best with her new position at her daddy’s company. Now, I know how Peter MacKay and Tie Domi felt. I’ll miss you Belinda.
