The union groups that registered with Elections Canada to get involved during this election may not be the only reason Justin Trudeau is back in his childhood home but there's no doubt they played a significant role.
A large number of "Anybody But Conservative" groups registered with Elections Canada to spend money and campaign against the Conservatives. They made ads and co-ordinated massive strategic voting initiatives funded by union dollars.
If we don't deal with the third parties and the large amount of union dollars flowing in, we're essentially allowing PACS even though Canadians have said they don't want that.
We should have this discussion but don't expect the rest of the media to talk about it. Some of them had their own PACs.
Well, they won't talk about it but the Rebel Media will.
As we get the figures on who spent what, where they spent it and what effect it had, you can be sure you'll get that information right here.

I thought Prime Minister Stephen Harper did an excellent job under the circumstances but being from Alberta will never do with BC, Ontario, Quebec or the East Coast.
That is not Communism you feel. It is the first slimy tentacles of Islam.
Even racial theory was taught in kindergarten in Germany. Get them young and still naïve and innocent. I agree with you. Indoctrination of the youth of Canada is an actuality, in the here and now.
“now we need to be diligent and pull them up by the roots,” easier said than done Deborah. I agree one can make small personal stands, i.e.; not buying a particular newspaper or watching specific channels but that is so small it does not even make a ripple. It does however make oneself feel better, a small deed is better than the grandest intention after all. I think the “root” as Le Bebe is so fond of saying is the public sector union[s] and the power that those unions can weld without fear of repercussions. I have no idea how we can change that.
It’s the same with political science ….few people are actually passionate about learning or perfecting it….they just want to cruise in the product and don’t give a damn about how the experts did it just as long as they get where they want to go. They only learn mechanics when they have no choice.
So Trudeau is an idiot….so what….he can drive that classic sports car can’t he….and if it breaks he will just…..and this I predict will be his most commonly used response when the media microphones ask him tough questions….“LET’S LEAVE THAT TO THE EXPERTS”……the unelected….but appointed… team that actually won the race….and who actually run the country….elections notwithstanding.
Feel? I say it has.
Peter, to cut all funding from CBC would have been a large gambit for sure, but I don’t think Harper would have been committing political suicide. There are a number, all sides of the political spectrum, that feel the monies given to CBC should be redirected to more “worthy” causes. The argument would be where those funds would end up if not at the CBC’s doorstep. Even, for arguments sake, if it was indeed political suicide (meaning he would have definitely lost the next election), it would have at least weakened the left’s strength in the coming years/decades in regards to indoctrinating the populace with propaganda, a bias. As a conservative I would have been willing to put up with a term or two if need be of another party’s reign as a form of punishment for lack of better wording IF it were because the CBC was totally shut down and unable to get future funding due to legalities before we’d get another kick at the can. You asked if that bill ever went through, I have neither heard nor found anything written about it since it was first talked about. It would be interesting to find out what happened.
“I haven’t witnessed this level of mass hysteria, and whipped up false hatred, since the days of Hitler, as witnessed and recorded through many, many war shows.”
I agree totally with you Deborah, the similarities between the past and the present developing is terrifying in more than one aspect. I feel that society as a whole had reached the apex of sensibilities that it could achieve and now is gathering momentum in descent.
“When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
But more importantly Mr. Harper and his team should have gone after the MSM and the Unions like mad dogs rather than the passive approach they took. Mr. Harper did take a stand when he refused to be a part of the CBC debate, but that was not enough, it only made them ramp up their hate and biases.
Finally I still believe that the CBC should be sold! Harder to do that now with the Dolt backing them, but still doable if we push long and hard.
As much as I would love to see the CBC funding cut entirely, I think that would have ended the Conservatives at the next election, a death sentence.
“2) He should have instituted strict guidelines and penalties regarding public sector unions … "
Well, there was the bill to force open their books and make them public. Did that go through?
“History seems to repeat itself”
In regards to the CBC’s unethical bias, none of it will change until the CBC is forced to be non-partisan by penalty of law.
But as for them being completely unbiased, I tend to think that if they kept their biases to commentaries only, not news, and if those commentaries stated out front who they are biased towards and those commentaries were one for each national party, then I would be okay with the biases under those condition. Basically equality.
Author of “The Enemies Within – Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress”, Loudon has revealed that Communist-controlled unions in the U.S. control and dictate the Democrats in Congress who owe their election to the assistance of the unions. A12-minute talk by Loudon explaining how the Communist-controlled labor unions are influencing and controlling the politics of our day:

The unions didn’t buy the elections. They bought the NDP and Liberals.
But isn’t that really one of the same? If the unions can manipulate or influence to some degree the circumstances surrounding an election then they have in essence bought the election (using funds from members’ dues). The unions always pick one party [conservative] to attack on the behalf of another party [liberal or NDP]. When I was a child I remember men in hard hats advocating total loyalty for the NDP (everything orange) on picket lines, brochures, etc. Nowadays their loyalty swings to either red or orange depending on which party will cater to their financial demands the most and have the best odds of winning the election. In my opinion Harper screwed up on two things while in power: 1) he should have cut the taxpayer funding totally to CBC and made it a legal sticky wicket to try to reinstate the funding by a new government. 2) He should have instituted strict guidelines and penalties regarding public sector unions who would choose to become politically involved (advertisements, attack ads, etc.) in elections (which would include their members activities – the union itself would be held accountable for the members’ political stunts). Limiting the amount of actual political monetary contributions does little to disrupt this scenario. What our society has been witness to in regards to union[s] activism during/prior to political elections (both provincially and federally) is in my opinion tantamount to outright fraudulent manipulation of the masses to cause a predetermined outcome [decided upon by the public sector union(s) heads]. Combine that with the bias we witness regularly from CBC it is unacceptable in a democratic society.
History seems to repeat itself (is it because no one learns from it?) in the context of the allowance of political manipulation by governmental funded associations and arbiters, in our day and time – i.e.: CBC and public sector unions. In the historical sense, such as in Germany, such manipulation tactics were intentionally used – Goebbels mission was to censor all opposition to Hitler and present the chancellor and the Nazi Party in the most positive light while stirring up hatred. The CBC should never have been allowed to formulate “personal” opinions period, but rather only report actual news. The CBC is using their governmental funding in the political arena which is crossing the line into manipulation (political propaganda). Same holds true with the public sector unions crossing that same line. IF we do not learn from history we (on the whole) are bound to repeat history.
Will this change under Trudeau? Perhaps someday when chickens have lips and donkeys learn to fly, but I am not going to hold my breath.
