The Most Unselfish Act in Canadian Politics!

Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay have just put their own jobs on the line for the good of Canada! What an honourable, unselfish act!

The Canukistanian has blogged this excerpt from David Frum's article and I requested permission to post the whole of this -- which he always gladly gives. Thanks, Jack.

Update:

David Frum weighs in and I agree with him!

The agreement between Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay to form a new conservative party out of the old Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives is obviously a huge political event. But it is also something else: an act of personal courage by two men, each of whom has risen to become a party leader, and at least one of whom has just surrendered that leadership for the sake of his principles and his country. Obviously, these men had their motives. So they should. Politics is no place for people with aspirations to sainthood. Nevertheless:
We have just witnessed the least selfish act in modern Canadian politics. Honour to them both.


I didn't say this in my initial post but Canada has two new heros today! The courage that this decision took to make is amazing. Stephen Harper and Peter MacKay are now political giants on the Canadian landscape and so they should be. They have rightly earned it.

While "Daffy" continues to worry about his legacy (the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history) the political legacy of these two young men is now assured. They will be well remembered as the architects of a new political party that will change the face of this country.

God bless them both!


God bless us all! -- Such a totally unselfish act from Peter and Stephen for the good of Canada deserves our best efforts to make it succeed. Read how to get started below. Again, thanks, Jack for all of the work you have done -- and letting me piggy-back on your effort. NJC

Canadian Conservatives: Let's Get Started--Together--to Build

The Canukistanian has some great ideas on WHAT WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW to win the NEXT election -- not wait for it five years down the road. I just followed his link and took out a membership! You can take out your membership here for a PC party membership online and here for a CA membership online. Take out memberships now and let's work together to rid Canada of the

***Liberals' appointments of Liberals to sinecures, judgeships, the SCOC--which rubberstamps what the Liberals want to do and haven't the guts to really debate in Parliament;

***Liberal' appointments of Liberals to myriad boards, committees, and all the rest;

***Liberals' stacking the federal civil service before the Liberals are turfed -- in short, the whole nine yards!

***Let's get rid of JCs Prime Ministerial rule by fiat;

***Liberal corruption -- the latest ethical lapses being

***Dominic Leblanc's -- son of Romeo LeBlanc -- Dominic who enjoys the hospitality of the Irvings' and their fishing camp on the world-famous Restigouche salmon river in NB -- the Irvings who just happen to go after defense contracts

***Allan Rock's -- See Oct. 17 National Post editorial, Allan Rock's Ethics but these are just two I mention of the many;


***Perhaps the most egregious being Liberal emasculation of OUR Members of Parliament -- to the detriment of Canada and Canadians.


LET'S GET RID OF ALL OF WHAT THE LIBERALS HAVE WROUGHT IN ORDER TO KEEP THEMSELVES IN POWER -- TO THE DETRIMENT OF CANADA! LET'S BRING BACK THE SUPREMACY OF PARLIAMENT AND MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT!

Here is the latest that the Red Tories are trying to do to prevent a merger:

It seems to me that Marjaleena Repo sees all the influence of the Orchard crowd within the PC's going out the window. This bunch will not give up without a fight. She points out that they would be overwhelmed and there are efforts afoot as I write to shut off PC Party memberships in an effort to retain control.


If you haven't taken action to join already or through the links above, read this excerpt from the Canukistanian and maybe you will -- Charlie Brown Again

On the local riding level we don't have to wait. We can get started today to put all the pieces into place. Local PC and Alliance Boards can meet tomorrow as a group and start to plan a very fast transition. Candidate selection meetings can be set up for very early in the new year. Companies and individuals can be approached to contribute the necessary funding and support that is needed.

We can do this!

All we need is the will and I am certain that we all have that because we now have the means and a clear goal.

We are going to DERAIL that Martin train coming down the tracks!

What great fun that will be!


I concur with what true conservatives are trying to do to achieve a merger quickly -- and then to work to form the next government of Canada as a Conservative government.

News Junkie Canada -- and it's a great day for conservatives in this country!
