Cuts unlikely to affect Tory support
Mean-spirited! Vindictive! Ideological!
The opposition hurled their best you’re-so-insensitive insults at the Conservative government yesterday in the aftermath of $1 billion in cuts to programs.
But that outrage is probably confined to the usual Tory critics, say observers. Conservative supporters, meanwhile, will embrace the “fat trimming.”
Nearly every opposition question during question period in the House of Commons dealt with the cuts.
Opposition MPs pointed to a lost youth internship program, $5 million trimmed from Status of Women Canada, and cash cut from adult literacy programs.
They decried slashes to legal aid for constitutional challenges and an aboriginal anti-smoking program.
“The Conservatives, in their style, decided to cut the fat. Young people, aboriginals, women — that’s fat to the Conservatives,” said NDP Leader Jack Layton.
Said Liberal finance critic John McCallum: “When will the finance minister do what is right for Canada and not what is right for the Conservative party?”

Lisa Young, a political scientist at the University of Calgary who has tracked voting patterns, says many of the targeted programs were supported only by small groups of Canadians. There were no large cuts to social programs that would be widely noticed. “The notion of running a lean government, paying down the debt, has a resonance with some of their potential voters — that’s seen as a win,” said Young.

Again we see the "back-door" policy of this Conservative government through their selection of cuts which affect minority groups (women, youth, aboriginals ) the poor and anybody who would choose to challenge the constitutionality of their proposed violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - until they are able to effectively rid our Canada of this charter which protects minority rights -.
Time to send these FREAKS packing - they should all move to the United States of America. -
Speaking of FREAKS just look at who's been visiting our country. Here's the full story from the METRO.

Evangelist makes Toronto stop
Daughter of Billy Graham pushes family business
Quoting scripture and praising Jesus, the daughter of famed U.S. evangelist Billy Graham yesterday appealed to Toronto’s business elite to join her weeklong crusade in this city.
“Jesus Christ proclaimed the good news to the world of his day, and it’s my pleasure to bring the good news to you today,” Anne Graham Lotz said yesterday in a lunch speech to the Empire Club.
It’s a message she’ll take to the masses this weekend. “The only way somebody gets into heaven is to accept the hand of Jesus,” she said. Her speech, launching a week of media interviews, meetings with local evangelists and a two-day revival at the Air Canada Centre, comes as the religious right gains unprecedented influence in Canada’s halls of power.
Sharing the head table with Lotz yesterday were top Bay Street investment managers and business executives, including the head of Caldwell Securities and a top official at Research in Motion, the company that developed the BlackBerry.
In fact, her address to the influential members of the Empire Club — a cross-section of business and political elites — had to be moved to the Metro Convention Centre to accommodate a crowd of about 450, roughly twice the number usually attending the club’s luncheons at a downtown hotel.
John Niles, Empire Club president and a United Church minister, called on the crowd to make a donation to help pay for Lotz’s revival meetings Friday and Saturday at the ACC. “The events are offered free of charge to everyone,” he said in introducing Lotz.
Her address came 11 years after her father addressed the same club in the same room. Billy Graham, however, collapsed and was rushed to hospital before he could finish his address. “I was invited to come and finish his message,” Lotz said.

In an interview after her 20-minute address in Toronto yesterday, U.S. evangelist Billy Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, said having Prime Minister Stephen Harper in office should help spread fundamentalism in this country. Harper is the first evangelical Christian to hold that job in Canada. “It gives us credibility,” Lotz told the Toronto Star.

Here we begin to see the traditional neo-conservative supporters starting to brave their way to our beautiful country because they feel emboldened by the current conservative government here. These sick, superstitious people do not reflect Canadian values. They will try to aid the conservatives to end the separation of church and state in Canada. To try to cover our country in SHAME and eliminate the rights of all minority's.
Remember Canada that the Conservative agenda is to produce a Canada that will have a higher rate of violent crime, higher suicide rate, greater population of convicts (which is why they'd like to cut social programs in order to divert those funds to the building of SUPERMAX prisons in Canada - with all the new indictable offenses they plan to pass laws about they'll require the space -).
