Canada a dictatorship under Harper. More Occupy Canada views

Source is here until Harper has it removed. Posted on June 10, 2013

Stephen Harper is quoted from his own words in mainstream media news sources calling Canada a dictatorship, and having the audacity to say you won't recognize Canada when he's through with it. He even renamed the government of Canada after himself.

It's on record he's borrowed techniques from the works of dictator Joseph Stalin, China's propaganda minister, even Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels yet some Canadians are still on the fence, have their heads buried in the sand and won't see him for what he is..

Astounding the same thing happened in Germany no one saw Hitler coming or most were quiet and scared. 

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SCIENTISTS, THEN THEY CAME FOR THE LIBRARIANS..

Dictator speaks - What won't be recognized? Your country, your towns.

The fallacy of irrelevance presents an amusing comparison of a choice of phrases between the 'Great Dictator', Adolf Hitler, and the leader of the "benign dictatorship" of Canada, former Alliance Party founder and current Harper Government head of control, Stephen Harper.

Hitler quote (translated):
"Give me four years and I promise you you won't recognize your towns." as quoted in The Harvard Crimson review of The Bombing of Germany, Hans Rumpf; Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1963.

Is Stephen Harper displaying fascist-like tendencies?
by Nick Fillmore, CBC journalist for 20 years, turned independent. >http://canadiandimension.com/articles/4486/, Bio: http://j-source.ca/users/nick-fillmore

National Post: Stephen Harper over the years has apparently styled himself after the former Soviet dictator, utilizing portions of Joseph Stalins' philosophy in order to divide and conquer, in order to keep himself in power.

"Harper's choice of reading material has disturbed even some of his own party members. A senior conservative cabinet minister(who asked that the national post do not release his name) claims that: Harper had "read and mastered" the biography and leadership style of Russia's Communist dictator Josef Stalin, and said the prime minister has adopted some of the same tactics. "He plays people off against one another, he attempts to inspire fear rather than respect, he is unpredictable and he is 100 per cent focused on eliminating the opposition," the senior Conservative explained."

The Globe and Mail- Stephen Harper has been getting pointers from China's Propaganda Minister, he is the leading controller of Internet and information censorship.

"Mr. Harper’s government, however, barely mentioned the three-day visit of the powerful Communist Party official. How powerful? Forbes ranked Mr. Li No. 19 on a list of the world’s most powerful people. In their words, he “controls what 1.3 billion Chinese see, hear, speak.” he is the de facto controller of media and information censorship." > http://bit.ly/HZ1n6J

Stephen Harper removed former prime ministers paintings in the lobby of the Ottawa House of Commons and replaced them with photos of himself. >http://bit.ly/TLP3RB

The Globe and Mail: "Mr. Harper's idea of what sort of art you should hang on your wall was signalled by his removal of all pictures of previous Conservative prime ministers from their lobby room - including John A. and Dief the Chief - and their replacement by pictures of none other than Mr. Harper himself. History, it seems, is to begin with him. In communist countries, this used to be called the Cult of Personality." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/to-be-creative-is-in-fact-canadian/article716213/

Canada Eh!

An Australian Definition of a Canadian eh

In case anyone asks you who a Canadian is . . .  thanks to my daughter for this reminder of what Steven Harper is trying to destroy, sometimes you have to be on the outside looking in to see what you have and what you could lose.

 An Australian wrote the following editorial to help define what a Canadian is:

 A Canadian can be English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. A Canadian can be Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, Arab, Pakistani or Afghan.

 A Canadian may also be a Cree, Métis, Mohawk, Blackfoot, Sioux, or one of the many other tribes known as native Canadians. A Canadian's religious beliefs range from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or none. In fact, there are more Muslims in Canada than in Afghanistan. The key difference is that in Canada they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

Whether they have a religion or no religion, each Canadian ultimately answers only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

A Canadian lives in one of the most prosperous lands in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which recognize the right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.

A Canadian is generous and Canadians have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return. Canadians welcome the best of everything, the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services and the best minds.

But they also welcome the least -the oppressed, the outcast and the rejected.

These are the people who built Canada. You can try to kill a Canadian if you must as other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world have tried but in doing so you could just be killing a relative or a neighbour.

This is because Canadians are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, can be a Canadian.

Please keep this going!  It says it all, for all of us

Federal Government censorship challenged by Vancouver Actors

Will the prime minister sue a group of Vancouver actors asks the Vancouver Sun, in an attempt to gain readers and to intimidate the artistic community in Vancouver who have decided to challenge Steven Harper and his censorship of the arts. The following is from the Vancouver Sun story and  Google news


David Bloom, who's directing the Vancouver reading of the controversial play Proud, which features (Tom McBeath, John Cassini, Quelemia Sparrow and Gaelan Beatty), says the idea of a libel suit is a red herring, but he understands why artists might be afraid of offending the government.


"Obviously companies who depend on Heritage Canada - have reason to be nervous about upsetting a sitting government - The federal government can withdraw funding from an-body it likes. Would they do something punitive because of this script? Who's to say?" This would sound like paranoia if not for a few recent controversies where artists with an anti-government bent have had their federal funding pulled.


Summerworks, a Toronto theatre festival, lost its annual funding the year after a spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office expressed "disappointment" that Heritage Canada funded a festival that presented a play about terrorism.



For more information on the event link here: Staged Reading of PROUD, July 22, 8 PM 

Tickets are general admission, and by donation. For ticket reservations, email proudvancouver@gmail.com .


Vancouver artists stand in solidarity with Toronto colleagues by mounting a staged reading of Michael Healey’s controversial new play, Proud on Sunday, July 22 (8:00 pm) at PL 1422.


Michael Healey wrote Proud during his 11-year tenure as Playwright in Residence at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto. When the company chose not to produce the play as part of their 2012-13 season, Healey resigned from his post. The play – a comedy – features an unnamed character called “The Prime Minister” and is about Canadian social and political values. The Tarragon Theatre denies that programming choices are effected by political pressure, but only last year Toronto’s Summerworks Theatre Festival had funding cut by Canadian Heritage after choosing to present a play that allegedly portrayed a homegrown “terrorist” sympathetically. Healey is mounting an independent production of Proud in Toronto this fall.


Vancouver’s reading of Proud is directed by David Bloom, Artistic Director of Felix Culpa, and features Tom McBeath (Death of a Salesman), John Cassini (God of Carnage), Quelemia Sparrow (August: Osage County), and Gaelan Beatty (Xanadu).


Director Bloom says, “We are producing Proud for two reasons: it’s an intelligent and provocative piece of theatre about our current political landscape, and because the greatest threat to the arts is self-censorship and fear.”


He continues, “The fact is we will never know for certain why Tarragon decided not to produce Proud. Here’s a question worth asking though: why is it so easy for us to believe they feared some kind of retribution for producing a play critical of the Harper Government™? Is it because theatre artists are innately timid, or is it because the government’s attacks on their perceived enemies have become so flagrant and outrageous? If they can set aside 8 million dollars to attack charities that disagree with their policies, surely anybody can be a target.”


Vancouver theatre companies supporting Proud include Felix Culpa, Neworld Theatre, Touchstone Theatre, Arts Club Theatre, Playwrights Theatre Centre, Ruby Slippers, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Compassionate Bone, Leaky Heaven Circus, and Pi Theatre.

Life in Canada under harper

One day before Canada Day, I think it is important to reflect on what Canada is becoming under Harper.  The Sixth Estate has a wonderful post that paints a very realistic picture of what life in Canada today could become. The post is called  Life Under Canada’s Small Government Dystopia and was posted on June 23, but I think it is important to read it as we move to celebrate Canada Day


The following post is deliberately alarmist. Orwellian, you might say. I’m not trying to paint a picture of what things are like in Canada right now, or even what I think they’ll be like in the near future. I’m not an idiot. But I do want to paint a picture of the sort of Canada which is explicitly permitted under some of the legal changes proposed and/or actually passed by the Harper regime. Whether this represents in any way the policies of a party that used to stand for small, transparent, and accountable government, is also up to you. I think by the end of this you’ll have a good idea where I stand on that question. So some of this list has already happened, but more of it are things the government has said they want to be allowed to happen, but haven’t actually done. Yet.

We’ll start from the perspective of an immigrant, rather than a newborn Canadian. You apply for immigration, you make sure all your ducks are in order, and you wait for your application to be processed. Because the government can’t afford to process the paperwork, your application may languish for a considerable time. Sometimes, the government simply eliminates the waiting list altogether and instructs you to start over from square one. You will also need to keep your political beliefs very quiet (or make sure they agree with the government in power), because the law allows the minister to personally reject your application for the nebulous reason of “public policy considerations.”

Federal budget cuts

Federal budget cuts are actually twice as deep as advertised, says a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Office.


While all eyes have been on the austerity measures in the 2012 budget, the PBO finds that cuts and budget freezes from 2010 to this year double the belt-tightening that departments are dealing with.


At the same time, the battle for information between the government and the PBO has turned up a notchWhile the fight for information will continue over the coming weeks, the Parliamentary Budget Office was able to get new details for its report released Monday.


The report totally reframes the government’s spending cuts as starting in 2010. The Conservatives announced in this year’s budget they would cut $5.2 billion and 19,200 jobs over the next three years.
But while the last two budgets contained stimulus, they also had underlying long-term cuts that are now starting to be felt. The PBO reports that when the cuts are added together, the government is actually chopping twice as much — $10.8 billion from the budget and 26,800 jobs.


As an example, Fisheries and Oceans is facing $79.3 million in cuts this year. But those cuts are on top of $56.8 million already announced, as well as a multi-year budget freeze.


Top-level data on the cuts is coming in slowly but surely. The Parliamentary Budget Office asked all departments to break down funding for main programs (for Fisheries and Oceans, this would include things like funding for search and rescue and icebreaking). Most have complied but one-third of departments and agencies refused.


On the request for specifics of how departments are handling program cuts, almost no one has answered.


The Finance Department plans to meet its $5.2 billion in savings from this year’s budget with a $1.1-billion cut to small grants and contributions (excluding major transfers like equalization), $1.8 billion in lower staffing costs and $2.3 billion in other operating savings.

Its scandal after scandal with the most secretive government in Canadian history! "The Harper Regime" is taking the knife to the Canadian people with streamlining cuts while they continue to lie to the Canadian public about billion dollar expenditures.

Outrageous spending on superjails to privatize prisons, $25 billion dollar fighter jets, double the costs with 2 sets of books, Libya War spending 6x the estimates they gave, Military contracts for weapons which are double the estimates, they have all this money for security contracts yet and full federal budget cuts are being kept secret until 2013, right now there's cuts to everything from award winning rehab programs for inmates, food safety cuts (Canada is the first developed country to face such a probe by U.N food inspectors), elections Canada cuts during an ongoing investigation onto election fraud, Stats Canada cuts, CSIS oversight has been cut, Auditor General cuts, CBC cuts, border security cuts, parks Canada cuts , refugee health care cuts, 16,000 public service job cuts, programs for PTSD and suicide prevention for our Canadian military cut.. 100 E.I centres cut, the shredding of environmental review process from 40 to 3, all to line their corporate partners and themselves pockets of tax payer's money. WAKE UP CANADA

Canada’s mission in Libya cost almost 6 TIMES the original estimates Peter Mckay gave. The total cost of the Libya operation — a figure that includes everything from jet fuel to pilot salaries, including the salaries of military personnel — comes in at $347 MILLION
Last October, MacKay told CBC Radio's The House the Libyan mission had cost taxpayers less than $50 million.
"As of Oct. 13, the figures that I've received have us well below that, somewhere under $50 million," MacKay said.

Handcuffed’ Tories won’t reveal full details of cuts till next spring
Canadians will have to wait until the spring of 2013 to get a full accounting of what programs and services have been cut to balance the federal books. That’s the timeline Treasury Board President (G8 legacy $50 million dollar fund fraudster) Tony Clement reluctantly confirmed Wednesday during a conference call from Brazil, where he’s taking part in a conference on “open government.”

Government secrecy over details of spending cuts in the 2012 budget is unnecessary and prevents MPs from performing their constitutional role as watchdogs of the public purse, the Parliamentary Budget Officer warns. In two new reports released Wednesday, Kevin Page touches on a wide range of current economic issues. The reports urge departments to address the lack of transparency over spending cuts. The first report takes issue with the fact that the government, as recently explained by Treasury Board President Tony Clement, is of the view that existing rules prevent departments from fully detailing the cuts until as late as spring 2013. The minister’s comments appeared to contradict a pledge he made before the March 29 budget was released, when he promised to provide MPs with “timely and accurate” information on spending cuts. source: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/no-need-to-withhold-detail-on-cuts-watchdog-tells-tories/article2413714/

The federal budget means the CBC will lose $115 million in funding over three years. But Lacroix noted that because of cost increases and investments, it faces a shortfall of $200 million. Lacroix said the CBC hopes to offset that with $50 million in new revenue. The remaining $150 million will be reached through staff and program cuts and efficiencies.

Fair questions since the Conservatives on election campaign trials have talked of spending billions on building more prisons.

Keeping a male inmate in jail per year cost tax payers $109,699 according to a 2009 corrections Canada report: in 2011 it rose to $113,974 a year.

Recent government reports on the cost of Canada’s jails show costs rising on all fronts. For instance, the cost of keeping a male inmate in prison rose from $88,067 per year in 2006 to $109,699 in 2009, according to the most recent data from Corrections and Conditional Release Statistical Overview.The cost of staffing Canada’s federal prisons has also increased significantly, with 5,745 more staff hired at Corrections Canada since the Conservatives took power. Staffing numbers have risen from 14,663 in 2005-06 to 20,408 full-time equivalents in 2011-12, according to Reports on Plans and Priorities.

$312 per prisoner, per day
Land a bed in jail via rape, murder or any other heinous criminal act, and you’re suddenly worth $113,974 a year to the federal government — nearly ten times as much. Fair? Hardly. But that’s annual average cost for keeping an inmate incarcerated in Canada, according to the latest report from Corrections Canada. It means the federal government is paying $312 per prisoner, per day, to keep Canada’s worst citizens healthy, happy and secure in the penitentiaries our killers and cretins chose to live in.

Vic Toews’ bizarre plan to introduce his own personal inflation rate to prison. He wants them to contribute 32% of their income. At 32%, it’s higher than the top federal tax rate of 29%, which applies to incomes over $132,000. So, under the Tory plan, prisoners making $260 a year will hand over more of their income than people making 500 times that much. This, says Toews, will “restore balance” to the system.
