WinnipegFirst has a story up today about the abysmal failure of the Communist in the Manitoba election.

The highlight of the story, is that halfway through the campaign their only car broke down. Thats right, five Communist candidates in Winnipeg were sharing one car between them. Not even the damn car could finish the campaign as a Communist! Why didn't the community rally to fix the car?

In a province of more than 1,100,000 people the Communist party garnered less than 400 votes province wide. 69 of those votes came from my riding of Wolseley, which did elect a Communist who runs under the NDP banner, Rob Altemeyer. Love thy neighbour? Not bloody likely.

I guess between the 400 Communist supporters in Manitoba, they couldn't get the car fixed. But thats probably because each of those 400 votes came from a lazy waste of skin who wouldn't do any work to save his own sorry life, much less to fix the automobile of a political party who shares their beliefs of leaching off of others.

Update: Speaking of Communists, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is spending $18,000,000 of hard earned Communist cash to make a movie. Dear Comrades, how does giving Danny Glover $18M to make a movie in Hollywood do anything to better the lives of Venezuelans? And do we really need anymore evidence that Hollywood is unabashedly Communist?

When the federal budget came out in March, Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams called it a "betrayal" of the province. It was a great example of a fine Conservative Premier turned panhandling socialist. He is now waging a personal War on Harper, much to the glee of the media.

If Newfoundland is strapped for cash, they've got an interesting way of showing it (h/t Bound By Gravity).

Premier Danny Williams, in a bid to build on his already commanding majority government, is offering Newfoundlanders the largest personal income tax cut in the province's history in the run-up to a provincial election.

Drawing from a $261-million budget surplus, Williams also slashed user fees Thursday while increasing spending on schools, the health-care system and infrastructure.

The value of the income tax cut was pegged at $155 million.

Danny Williams has some explaining to do. Why does he think that the rest of Canada should fund tax cuts to keep him in power? Here in Manitoba we live in one of the highest taxed provinces in the country, and this Newfie is pandering for more of our money. Shameless.

I've always said that those involved at Universities are some of the stupidest people in this country. I took issue with the PC Madness at the U of Winnipeg just two days ago. The University of Manitoba engineering students are now pushing the envelope of common sense!

March 8th, 2007

Engineering students at the University of Manitoba voted 64 per cent in favour Wednesday night of hiking their own tuition fees by a whopping 38 per cent.

Global TV Winnipeg said the increase was approved in a two-day referendum that left the student body divided on the issue.

This was a sign, to some, that students were starting to realize that the quality of their education correlates to it's expense. Thus, by raising their tuition fee's, they were taking personal responsibility for their own education. Well, that's what I thought.
March 29, 2007:

CHANTING and singing, many with faces painted red, more than 100 University of Manitoba engineering students rallied at the Legislature on Thursday to demand higher government funding.

They poured off two school buses, lugging along placards and effigies of the faculty's red lion symbol. [...]

And they lustily bellowed "we can, we can, we can, we can demolish 40 beers," as though that would persuade the Doer government to unlock the provincial treasury.

The engineering faculty says it needs $3.5 million more in annual funding to maintain a quality education for its 1,100 students.

Seriously, this should be criminal, it's tantamount to extortion! It's further evidence that the tuition freeze needs to go, now!

Transexual activists at the University of Winnipeg are demanding "gender neutral" washroom be installed on campus (link).

The activists' are trying to frame the issue was a human rights concern.

"It's a human right to pee," said Rune Breckon, a transgender student enrolled in women and gender studies at the University of Winnipeg.

For Breckon, who doesn't wish to be described as either a man or a woman, going to the washroom has proven awkward -- people constantly stare and sometimes make comments.

"They'll come in, stop and look, then go back and look at the sign," said Breckon.

"When I go into the women's washroom, because that's where I feel more comfortable, I'm told to leave. When I go into the men's bathroom, I'm told to leave because I don't look like a dude. But I just need to pee."

There already are two single-stalled washrooms on campus that would provide exactly the privacy the tranny's are looking for. But as with all leftist activists, it's just never enough.

I can't wait to see the line-ups at Winnipeg Stadium when Rune Breckon sets his sights on the stadium's infamous troughs.
Update: The Winnipeg Free Press caught onto this one a little late.

IMAGINE that you can't walk into either a men's or women's washroom without feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.

Imagine that you're a person who prefers to be called "they", because neither "he" nor "she" really defines you. [...]

U of W communications director Robin Alford said that protecting each person's dignity will be the priority for U of W.

U of W will be able to design its new $30-million science complex with gender neutral washrooms, Alford pointed out.
Belik said that one solution might be single-stall washrooms that could accommodate wheelchairs, a mother breast-feeding, a transgendered person, or a family with a baby or toddler.

But it is vital that no person be "outed" by being seen to use such facilities, Belik said.

I feel sorry for Liberal supporters sometimes. The party just can't clean the dirt off of itself (Link).

Police have made six more arrests in a long-running investigation into the HRDC "boondoggle."
(snip)
The accused are from Toronto, Mississauga and Oakville. Four of the them -- Harbhinder Bajwa, John Danson, Laura Mikos and Harvinder Rakhra -- are charged with fraud and bribery. The other two -- Phillip Goodman and Peter Rethazy -- are charged with conspiracy to commit fraud.

The Tories issued a news release noting that people with the same names as those charged are listed as past donors to the Liberal party.

The party has made it's bed, now it's time to go to sleep.

Adrian Measner isn't done yet. His lackeys have got his back.

Labels: CWB, Dirty Liberals, Trough Feeders

Via Dust My Broom, we see that Canadian Wheat Board president Adrian Measner is being fired.

Why? Well, the guy has a slightly backwards idea of what his job description is:

Measner has recently spoken out in defence of the board's marketing monopoly and warned of the economic consequences for the board, the City of Winnipeg and province of Manitoba if the government allows competition.

For a guy who's supposed to be working for FARMERS, his priorities seem a little mixed up. Notice, the warning of "economic consequences" did not include farmers, but did include the CWB itself. Oh the horror! All those unemployed bureaucrats, having to find jobs where they have to be accountable.
