OK, so maybe a year ago it was somewhat ambiguous, but now after tens of thousands have been raped, murdered and displaced and it’s clear all the regime stands for is violence and power, how can you still display propaganda pictures of this most-evil middle eastern tyrant? And how can we all stand it? One thing I love about Canada is that here we can leave the conflicts of our home countries behind us, but what you’re doing now is like reaping Hitler in 1943—it’s clear the dude is evil and there is absolutely no justification for it, only one side to this story. Your garlic sauce is great, but it’s not worth supporting the bloodshed of innocents… —Seriously?
This article appears in Oct 4-10, 2012.
“One thing I love about Canada is that here we can leave the conflicts of our home countries behind us” LOL – You don’t know much about “multiculturalism” , do you?
Give it , say, 6 months and the Chinless Wonder will be the one grilling your kebaps. And Omar Khadr will be mixing the garlic sauce.
“most-evil middle eastern tyrant?”
I assume you mean Assad but you can’t spit without hitting an evil tyrant in the middle-east (slight exaggeration). I don’t get the specific point if this bitch other than the obvious abhorrence of murder, rape and torture. There’s a Syrian restaurant with great garlic sauce? Maybe this bitch should be in the restaurant section of the Coast.
are you talking about another tyrant, other than the ones that live in the u.s.? seeing as how they all seem to be one and the same, you just need a program to tell them apart from each other. don’t sweat the dictaors from over in the mid east, fear the ones closer to home, and we all know who they are.north korea has weapons now capable of reaching to the u.s.,or so they say. goody, maybe now they will keep their fucking noses out of other people’s countries. let the musroom clouds begin.
We have a dictator/tyrant in Ottawa. Not comparing, merely pointing out that the views of the majority may not be being represented.
Really SHITD? Unlike a real dictator we can vote our PM out of office. Unlike a real dictator, our PM cannot order the police or army to kill our citizens. Unlike a real dictator, our PM cannot prevent our movements or employment.
I really hate it when people throw around the word dicator and not know what the word really means.
100% right Ossifer Tim. It demeans those who endure real deprivation of human rights to even think of comparing our petty little inconveniences.
REAPING HITLER
” … but what you’re doing now is like reaping Hitler in 1943…” (Seriously?)
Reaping Hitler? Seriously?
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Bro Tim is obviously too young to remember the Quebec crisis. WHere Trudeau ordered troops into the streets & they weren’t out there with flowers & big smiles ! We live next door to a country run by big business interests, people with so much money they buy (ok they call it political contributions) every candidate & it doesn’t matter who wins… because they support all of them & they then get what they want. It makes much more sense for the rebels to have ‘bombed’ Turkey… then it does for Assad to have ordered his troops to . But there will never be an investigation & those who preceive an opportunity will now act ….which is the real reason behind all of it. No excuse to act …. no problem MAKE ONE UP , now we have the perfect opportunity & all of it is about money/power in the region. The so called concern for people …. please don’t make me laugh !
if the twit wins the american election i predict a surge in immigration. please southern cousins do the right thing tho your political system confuses me greatly as does ours
How many Quebecers were killed during the October Crisis.? Other than Pierre LaPorte, that is?
And , another thing More-on. Don’t confuse the presence of troops in Montreal, with the War Measures Act. Robert Bourassa(democratically elected) requested a military presence “in aid to the civil power” as is a province’s right under The National Defence Act.He was unanimously supported in this by ALL memebers of the Quebec legislature (Fucked if I’ll ever call it a national assembly). P.Q. included. This occurred 1 day prior to Mayor Jean Drapeau (also democratically elected) requesting , along with Premier Bourassa , the necessary “emergency powers” to contain an insurrection, which , blessed with hindsight, we now know to have been a slight over-reaction. Martial Law was never declared, there were no My Lais or Oradours. No mass graves. No “disappeared”. No political prisoners thrown out of C-130s flying over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Some 450 people were detained, 70 eventually charged. The rest released. No Canadian politician was incarcerated, or even charged for publicly opposing the W.M.A. (Stanfield, Douglas, Levesque all did) No Canadian citizen was incarcerated for expressing their opposition. The only people who had their human and civil rights violated were James Cross and Pierre Laporte.
If that’s as close as Canada ever gets to resembling a dictatorship, thank whatever pasta dish you worship for that fact.
Yeah, More I wouldn’t know anything about it. Oh wait, I was living in Tracy (across from Sorel) during the building of the Huron and Iroquois. And as I recall, no soldier or police officer ever lined up citizens against the wall and shot them, fed them to lions, tortured them, beat them senseless, doing midnight raids and taking/raping women and children, keeping females from going to school or dropping bombs.
“A ruler with total power over a country, TYPICALLY one who has obtained power by force.”
Perhaps, Tim, you need to brush up on your definitions. When parlementary processes are ignored, cabinet is given a gag order, and anyone who doesn’t tow to party line is fired, all in the name of “The Harper Government” (not the Government of Canada), I would say that constitutes a dictatorship.
…and Ivan, did you not read the most important part of my sentence? My entire point was that I support help with Syria, but my voice is not heard due to a government that consistantly doesn’t listen, nor pay attention to the people who put it in power.
Fucking idiots need to reading comprehension!!!
Does every definition have to be the absolute extreme these days, to even suggest that perhaps that a milder form of said definition is possible?
So how does the Harper government differ from the Martin government, Chretien government, and so on and so on and so on. The media has used this phrase (insert PM name then government for decades).
Again if you think you are living in a dictatorship, please move (you’re free to do so) and go to a beautiful democracy. May I suggest Iran or North Korea.
Also, Tim. It’s funny you mention “preventing our movements”, as a policy allowing police to conduct RANDOM STOPS FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, leaving probable cause a thing of the past, does exactly that.
I would expect nothing less from a police officer, supporting a carte blanche rule to increase your already overbearing authority.
Somehow I missed the point where democracy was defined as “Getting your own way, all the time” Under your conditions Shitty, ANY majority government is a tyranny. As much as I despise Jean Poutine, certainly the first part of his reign where the concept of Her Majesty’s Loyal Oppostion was nothing but a sick fucking joke, even I have to aknowledge that there was a pretty broad fucking gulf between that and a dictatorship.
And I still can’t shake the feeling that the vast majority of people who lambast Steve-O for “trampling on rights” and “ignoring the will of the people” simply have their knickers in a twist because he’s trampling the “wrong” rights and ignoring the “wrong” people. In short , they oppose his targets, not his tactics and that’s a piss poor argument for moral superiority.
that’s a silly thing to say timothy, just because shitd calls harper a dictator, or lego head or a borg, telling him to move to a foreign country negates his freedom to vent
It should be also pointed out that the history books are full of despots, who enjoyed the overwhelming support of the majority of the people they ruled, and still qualify as dictators.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, The Kim Dynasty,…and so on, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
“Fucking idiots need to reading comprehension!!!” Hmmm – I recognize every one of those words, but oddly, the sentence is incomprehensible to me. I guess I really am a fucking idiot >: ( “Does every definition have to be the absolute extreme these days, to even suggest that perhaps that a milder form of said definition is possible?” Thus speaketh the Bitch whose standard response to everything is “dumbass”, or perhaps it’s milder definition “jackass”.
But Ivan that support came at the end of a gun.
PG I doubt your prediction will come true. People said the same thing when George the Second got in the first time and more importantly the second time. The only increase was a few deserters.
Ivan I will be calling Walter for using his phrase “dumbass”.
http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=I.46354859305…
PG, I was just offering SHITD an opportunity to discover what a dictatorship is really about.
i sure hope it doesn’t come true, twit and his evil vp don’t like anyone who isn’t rich and white and you better not be gay or a woman. watch for leave it to beaver reruns
yes timmy but that’s too easy, saying you are unhappy about some aspects about your country doesn’t always deserve the “if you don’t like it here get out”
STEPHEN REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS!
Dumbasses! All of you are dumbasses! Do you hear me?
Good going, Stephen.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Ivan, read the part where I start the sentence with “NOT COMPARING…”, you specifically accuse me of making some sort comparrison. I guess in my neglecting to proofread I added an extra “that” after perhaps. Stay tuned for more grammatical and spelling errors. The fact that you picked that little typo instead of the sentence I accused you of misreading is just stupid and childish. Now back to being the “comic book guy” and the centre of your very own nerd universe, pretending to be a soldier and reciting the phonetic alphabet like some sort of offering to the dweeb gods!
Tim, you fucking dolt!! I know exactly what a “real” dictatorship is.
If you two both think that bundling large bills to be sent through the house of commons without a reading, throwing in clauses that have absolutely nothing to do with the bill in question ( such as the suspending of environmental assesments in the oil patch, hidden in the budget bill) should be considered the status quo, you are both bigger idiots then I would have ever guessed. I guess for all you goose stepping right wing fanatics, thats perfectly ok. That seems perfectly normal. I don’t know how anyone can defend some of the shit that that idiot Harper has done to the political landscape of this country. I for one, am embarrassed and will not raise the Canadian flag on my property as long as that dipshit is in power. Destroying military pensions, attacking EI (basically, forced minimum wage slavery), raping the oil sands and giving it to the Americans, election fraud, a basic unwillingness to at least hear what other parties have to say about political policy, selling out to big oil and corporate interests while raping our countries natural resources, is just downright unCanadian. But for some reason, it seems that if you support Harper, you have to agree with everything he does, without question. Just like the true sheep you are.
My opinion is my opinion, go fuck yourself if you don’t agree. I don’t give a rats ass!!!! I will not be checking his name on any ballot, ever!!!!!!!!
Worst riposte ever http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/w… Perhaps you should re-read my original comment Shitty. Nowhere do I specifically accuse of anything. I share Tim’s disgust with those who compare our society to a dictatorship. That includes those who compared Bush with Hitler, those who call Obama a socialist (or Hitler – never quite got that one) , etc. If the boot fits; expect to get kicked. And if you’re going to menstruate furiously over lack of comprehension; you’d best make very sure your own comments are 100% comprehnsible. People who live in glass special ed. classrooms shouldn’t play with pointed stones
(?) Now back into your big rig, Good Buddy and put the hammer down – next stop the center of the universe – ShittyD’s self absorbed rectum.
Now SHIT D, I agree with your views of Harper having his own agenda in the House of Commons, but not supporting the Canadian flag? People can be faithful to their country without having to be faithful to its Government. You’re turning your back on a nation, plain and simple. You’d be better off planting that flag right into Harper’s foot. Stake him to the ground.
If anyone is interested, I got so pissed I started typing up my own Political Manifesto….. It’s not easy, but I’d rather another form of Government than the one we have. What form, you ask? I don’t know yet…..
D’OH!
The link should have been:

Lashings of apologies, all.
“Nowhere do I specifically accuse of anything” Should be a YOU in there somewhere.
“comprehensible” not “comprehsible” Oh, Bitter irony, where is thy sting.
And considering your posting history, your plea for subtlety and nuance as opposed to absolute Black & White, is not merely hypocritical. It is utter merde.
Talk about utter “merde”. You, a staunch military supporter, supporting a government that has done all in it’s power to try and rip off vetrans for every single due they are owed. Hypocracy is an understatement, but, I guess after all the loud-mouthery about how awesome Harper is, crow is not on the menu for you!!!
Care to produce a direct quote from me about “How awesome Harper is”? If there are things I support about the current government it’s from the ” lesser of a whole bunch of evils ” perspective and doesn’t preclude me from disagreeing with things that they have done. Or, do I have to be “extreme” in my detestation of Harper, because a “milder form” of dissent somehow lacks credibility. After all, how can I expect to not be considered a sheep if I don’t stand in lockstep with the mob baying for the P.M.’s blood.
Careful about advising people that crow is on the table d’hote; you may just get your eyes pecked out. Rawk!
“My opinion is my opinion, go fuck yourself if you don’t agree. I don’t give a rats ass!!!”
Nobody is questioning your right to have or express an opinion, Shitty. In fact, I will (metaphorically) defend to the death your right to be every bit as brilliant and incisive as, say, Rob Anders. But that in no way implies that I have surrendered my right to call you a dickhead.
I wouldn’t bother wasting my time reading all your useless off topic posts, RAWK :>(, even to prove a moot point about your obvious political affiliations.
That’s the spirit >; ) Screeee!

Painy, I’m in agreement with Margaret Sutherland http://maggiethered.com/ Unlike the toady’s who worship Harper…I could always tell he was/is a snake. & Tim the Trudeau reference was to how quickly our rights can be taken away & how spineless elected politicians have no problem putting an entire population under martial law over the actions of a very few ! ! ! WHen an elected official or 2 can put the rights of millions of Canadians on hold because they are afraid, that isn’t much of a Democratic country IMO.
i loved pet
I presume that pic is Steve-O with his dick out. Margaret was a great caricaturist with a Pythonesque sense of humour when I knew her at Kings.
Just a note, Ivan to let you know that you have my total support in your debate with Stephen.
When you have Stephen (“Mr. Vague Unsupported Generalizations”) Harper (10/10, 3:40PM; 6:01PM), General (“No Brain”) Generalizer (10/10, 4:04PM) and More (“The Sadistic Animal Skinner”) in bed together, you just know that you’re on the right side. (I’m not sure however, about Margaret’s being a good caricaturist but I could be wrong.)
Keep up the good fight.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Well, how can I possibly lose. Paulus must have felt the same way when he learned that the Italians and Romanians were protecting his left flank at Stalingrad. Good thing I’m wearing my “Cato Mit Uns” belt buckle today.
In truth it’s just some minor antler rattling. General Generalizer is a BitchBud and fellow summiteer, More and I agree on some issues and disagree on others, but I have no doubt that he, like most hunters it’s been my privilege to know , is a steward of the woods, one shot-one kill, no needless suffering, and utilizes every part of what he shoots.
ShittyD is ShittyD.
Thanks for the support. If you get a chance, read Ian Kershaw’s “The End”
Screeee!
Good one, MM. You funny like a stillborn!!! I wouldn’t expect anything but your disdain, what, with you being an entightled, wealthy, government subsidized, doucheclown. But, thanks again for your useless two cents worth.

Well Ivan, I’m not so sure about it being “some minor antler rattling.” I’ve just posted on “180 Metres” and you might just revise your opinion.
: Stephen Harper (3:11PM)
Well Stephen, choose any one of your generalizations from 10/10, 3:46PM and we can have a little debate. But just base your position on the facts Stephen. No empty arm-waving rhetoric
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
A debate with you would be completely useless, but, I see you have changed from ‘rhetoric’ to ‘generalization’. But feel free to discount any of my “generalizations”. I soooooooooooooo eagerly await your rebuttal. Why not try to disprove the one about “large Republican style bills” passed through the house of commons, with little hidden gems attached to them. Specifically the end of environmental studies surrounding the pipeline, to pave the way through our aborigional peoples territory without any pesky “science” getting in the way of “progress”. Why, instead of investing in infrastructure to make Canada more self reliant on it’s own oil, not raping our country of it’s 2nd largest natural resource (oil, water being the first), do we hand over our oil, and long term sustainable jobs, to the Americans to sell back to us at a huge profit. Fuck I’m getting mad just typing this shit!!!! So, how about it slick? let’s see your “Harper Gov’t stamped” propoganda. Be sure to send lots of links, graphs and pie-charts, as the onus of proof is on you. I made the statement, now do some fucking research, you fucking halfwit, and PROVE ME WRONG!!!
Calm SHITD …. THere is no reason to allow Harpers worship of georgie dubya & his personal pursuits of setting up similar policies as that asshole to get you so worked up. HE won’t be in power for long, & nothing he does can’t be undone by the next group to get in. Letting it upset you to the point of distraction or anger …. Well that would be like letting the mumbler from montreal get you upset.

Stephen, you must try to understand what I asked you to do regarding our upcoming debate. I’ll refresh your memory first and then structure the debate format.
I asked you to choose ONE of your generalizations from your rambling post of 10/10. 346PM. One only, Stephen so we can focus our attention. Now to the structure:
1. Choose a topic for debate.
2. State your position on the topic you have chosen. (No rhetoric, just your position.)
3. Give reasons for #2, i.e., the grounds upon which you based your position. (No rhetoric, just your reasons.)
4. Cite your sources for the reasons you gave in #3. (No rhetoric, just your sources.)
So Stephen, there you have it. Looking forward to our debate.
: More (6:32PM)
“Well, that would be like getting the mumbler from montreal (sic) get you upset.”
Well More, “the mumbler from Montreal” has dispatched you quite decisively on the psychological reasons why hunters kill animals. Stephen doesn’t need your advice. Go back to killing and skinning animals. Enjoy yourself.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Idiot!!! If nothing, you’re predictable.
