Christie Blatchford Helpless tour 2010:
Caledonia could happen anywhere in Canada, at least, anywhere there are top cops like the “Prime Minister’s Best Friend” and his race-based policing. Read more here.
And if you live in Vaughn, support Against Fantino!
Contrary to what other conservatives think (I choked on his description of the PM’s BFF), Fantino is a despicable choice for a candidate. He can’t be bothered with the all-candidate debates, but apparently he’ll be happy to meet with constituents over dinner for the going rate of $500 each.
As a true conservative, and not a CINO, “I’d rather vote for Jack Layton” too.

Julian Fantino won’t be attending tonight’s public debate at Vellore Village Community Centre, but he says critics who accuse him of hiding “need a reality check.”
“I can’t attend. It’s a very simple issue,” Fantino said. “There’s a previous, long-established commitment that involves my family and other people who are attending a memorial mass, not only for my in-laws. There’s another anniversary involved at a seniors’ residence where myself and my wife and family have volunteered for a good long time. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the way it is.”
Who was funding McHale’s navy btw? Was it the ADL?
I am very disappointed by some of the conservative bloggers on Fantino,many of whom I often agree with, but NOT on Fantino.
As for Don Cherry, he’s a true blue conservative/ Conservative,so he’s backing the Party guy on auto pilot. That being said,I am a great admirer of Don Cherry,his support for the troops on the Communist Broadcasting Corporation’s HNIC is the only thing worth watching on that vast wasteland of a network.
People on the conservative blogs keep asking,”where are the statesmen”. I’ll answer to the best of my ability: retired or dead. A “statesman” is someone who will go against the tide for the good of his Country,his fellow man. A statesman will risk everything,his political career, his prestige, for the sake of doing the right and moral thing. In my lifetime I have experienced very few statesmen, just a bunch of politicians,some good,some mediocre,some political whores with the morals of used car salesmen.
Two of the greatest examples I have ever seen, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, risked their careers to stop the man who was being hailed as “the saviour of the world” by our own WL MacKenzie -King, Joseph Kennedy,and many other world leaders and assorted politicians.
Churchill spent years being ridiculed in the House,called insane,dotty,losing it,a fool,by the appeasers. Roosevelt risked impeachment for years while he secretly aided Britain against the wishes of the majority of American politicians,and a good percentage of the American people.
Thank God they did.
Fantino is typical of today’s government employee,hidebound by the rules, unwilling to do anything that will harm his career,hiding behind the excuse,”I vas only followingk ordersss”. And that IS an attempt at a German accent,btw, like the defendants at Nuremburg, many of whom used that reason for their completely unreasonable actions.
That is where the expression,”Good German” came from.
Fantino had a DUTY to the LAW of this Country,NOT his political master,Dalton McGuinty. He knows that. He did NOT risk execution by disobeying orders,and having the OPP arrest the Caledonia Natives on Day One. The only harm would have been to his precious career.
He chose to be a “Good German” and follow the illegal and morally unjustifiable orders of his master. If Fantino possessed a modicum of the courage and sense of morality of a Churchill or Roosevelt, he’d have undoubtedly been fired as Police Chief, but,as I’ve said repeatedly, he would be the biggest folk hero this Country has seen in a long,long time.
He’d be a shoe-in for Prime MInister. The people of Canada pine for a politician with the courage and integrity of the old statesmen,but in the case of Fantino,all they’re getting is another self-interested civil servant,who will never stick his neck out in a crisis.
We don’t need another “Good German” in our political system.
Vote the bum OUT!
I’m disappointed in the conservative Fantino supporters too. And you’re absolutely right about Fantino’s duty to the law of this country. Kaffir Kanuck corrected me on that in an earlier post, when I wavered on who was responsible — McGuinty, Fantino, or both. He made it clear that the “just following orders” isn’t an excuse. As top cop, his duty was to uphold the law, not some politician’s whim.
Thanks, too, for the history reminder about Churchill et al.
