Unicorns in London

After the DC trip, former Rebel Media corporate director and Conservative Party campaign manager, Hamish Marshall, is guiding his new little unicorn to London, England on a trade mission. Marshall's wife used to be Rob Anders' roommate (comments).

Who else has gone to London? Just Murray Edwards in 2016. In addition to business interests in NHL's Calgary Flames, local resorts, being WestJet's 4th largest shareholder, yachting vacations with Rona Ambrose, Imperial Metals (Mt Polley BC disaster), Magellan Aerospace Corp., Canadian Natural Resources, director of Ensign Energy Services during stock option backdating suit in 2004 ($4M settlement), ... wait, where was I? ... 

Oh right, Rob Anders.

Oklahoma City 1994: Republican Jim Inhofe campaign. At a news conference in Oklahoma City, McCurdy called a worker who wore a Pinocchio nose at a debate Wednesday "a paid political thug" who had broken campaign laws. He said the Inhofe campaign was resorting to Watergate-style dirty tricks. 

Oct 2017: Rumour was that Rob Anders wore a tuxedo to the UCP leadership victory party. Former snack pack members include Ezra Levant and Jason Kenney.

Rona Ambrose resigned in July as MP for Sturgeon River-Parkland. She was replaced (a) in an October 23 byelection by a 26 year-old Proud Boy, Dane Lloyd, and (b) as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada by a guy with dimples.

"In charge were then-public works minister Rona Ambrose (now interim Conservative leader) and Tony Clement, former president of the treasury board. Neither has expressed any remorse for the fiasco. The Conservatives eliminated 700 payroll jobs in dozens of departments, mainly in Ottawa, and created..."  -The Globe and Mail, 26 Feb 2017 

Rona Ambrose and her boyfriend had many Stornoway expenses for a temp job. Stornoway shouldn't be a residence for interim leaders. Then yachting with billionaire Murray Edwards from Jan 3-14 (and writing ethics commissioner about it on Jan 12), while freaking out about Justin Trudeau's vacation. 

Murray Edwards moved to London in 2016. His business interests include the Calgary Flames, Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., Magellan Aerospace Corp., Imperial Metals Corp., and Resorts of the Canadian Rockies.

hapner: lawheed's tru patriot act

welp. on the plus side peter lougheed walked away from karlheinz. hey, look, it's peter kent. sure was a lot of talk about the big conservative family.

peter lougheed (1928-2012)

besides stampedin', hapner rode in for frank glenfield's funeral last year. {hapner "entered the University of Calgary, which is right . . . of the Ayatollah Khomeini, as you probably know, and he became very much under that influence."}

in my mynde, 'patriot' is an american word. here's lougheed at the banff springs hotel as co-chair:

On September 12 to 14, 2006, business and government representatives from the three North American countries met in secret, with no media coverage, at the Banff Springs Hotel and convened the North American Forum. Judicial Watch, a U.S. public watchdog group got declassified government documents through a Freedom of Information Act request and made the documents available on their website. These documents reveal the discussions and membership in the secret meetings. The Canadian co-chair of the meeting was former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, and Canadian participants included Day, D’Aquino (also a member of the NACC), all NACC corporate representatives, and John Manley. In the released documents, under the forum discussion on “Border Infrastructure and Continental Prosperity,” chaired by John Manley, a startling quote was revealed: “While a vision is appealing, working on the infrastructure might yield more benefit and bring more people on board (‘evolution by stealth’).” What exactly are they evolving by stealth? Oh right, our country. source

so, yeah, a true patriot act. next question: there was such a backlash about state-owned petro canada, yet selling nexen [china national offshore cnooc's $15b (cash) organ trafficking money laundering deal], and alderon stuff is okay, and bombardier private jet sales are booming, so is huawei telecomm. hapner still hates cuba: it's communist! funny how the days go. gotta wonder, whatever was going on with danny williams and the impoverished national hockey league (strike!).

as the afghanistan mission closes, the first 4 soldiers killed in 2002 by U.S. pilots (Tarnak Farm incident: eight seriously wounded) and the last 2 by suicide. that is that.

dead bears & counting

1) Bears can count. 2) In May, an NHL hockey player, Vancouver Canucks forward David Booth ((left wing - Detroit, Michigan)) "unleashed the fury" and paid big bucks to hunt bear using a baiting technique, i.e. sit quietly in a tree platform and wait for a bear and other bears may come and go for the bait, but only a certain big, male bear is shot.

on bears counting: one fish, two fish,
red fish, blue fish

Then again, last year more bears were killed in Alberta by wildlife officials--145 bears killed in oilsands--because they're habituated to humans. So, would this baiting habituate bears to humans.

Anyways, between that or whatever--like oil camp garbage--searching, searching. oh wait: 仍然搜索 eblogger ... Twin River Outfitting (Your Host:  Blair Inscho) has a kill rate of over 100 % (?). Blair recommends that "you pass on anything under 6 ft,, as there will be better!"

A delicious-4bears-bait is a mixture of old oatmeal, molasses and beaver guts.

And: Vast amounts of this area have never been baited!! yadayada.. clover, dandelion.. yada... Our hunts take place in a number of areas including ; logged off areas, pipelines, wallows, salt licks, cut lines, natural meadows, fields and other intriguing sites.

And they also do wolves. See article: Wildtv.ca on Shaw. Bear baiting is illegal in British Columbia, Canada and 18 states in the USA.

3) There aren't a lot of ways for a grizzly bear to die. Bear 71. A 2012 interactive National Film Board of Canada (NFB) web documentary won a Cyber Lion Award at the 59th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, which took place June 17-23 in Cannes. The wikipedia article lists more installations.

Game 4: Boston's bruins, libyas and supermen

“As they pad their expense account and look out the windows of their $11,000 per hour Challenger jet flights, they think that everything is going pretty well. They just don’t get what real life is like for ordinary Canadians.” — Stephen Harper in 2005, referring to the use of government jets by Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin and his government.

{On Wednesday [Jun 8], the PMO said Mr. Harper, his daughter and Mr. Moore would each pay $500 for their tickets, and $530 each for the flight.}

mister canada gov - $26m economic caption plan

Clearly, ... Friends

Holy mcLuntz-and-disruption-manuals Jobotomy bobblehead meme! Now, after the $26m 3 month radio and TV campaign for the party, a record-breaking $1.2b G20 summit, and even a dispute with the Pentagon about the double cost of 200 F-35 jets (or their not often talked about Mulroney Winnipeg's Bristol Aerospace 1986 expensive maintenance contract)(and... no engines...?) and $300m prorogue, 2008, which all of course are someone else's fault like a wife batter's alibi, there's a new caption in TV town.

Friends. Listen. It's probably better, let me be clear, for the time being, and abandon the fact of the matter. Luntz's current company, The Word Doctors ("It's not what you say, it's what they hear"), specializes in message creation and image management for commercial and political clients.

Lemme guess: Harper is finger-pointy synonymous with "government of canada" (see:  "re-branded" "harper" "canada" "government"), which is reverse synonymous with Adanac (see: satanism or reverse speech or libtards or Taliban jackoffs, Ali Kaida, green terrorisms), which is synonymous, no antonymous, with TheTeaPotParty™ (see: perpetual campaigning), which is

reverse speech/ hceeps esrever

synonymous, maybe, with contempt (just made-up)(see: parliament), which is synonymous with canlit, no, hockey lit or water bottles for kiddies, which is synonomous with [insert US president] Administration and harmonization...

Read on to find out how Environment Minister Ambrose is using Frank Luntz's tactics almost to the letter these days ("Bush's Chief Climate "Spinmaster" Tells Harper How It's Done"). New Conservative Party of Canada logo? Canada logo? Hard to no, it's mixed up. Strong Staples government, and oops, PM know longer taking questions on local campaigns. It's the Klein Public affairs bureau, all over again.

A manual of "key messages" produced exclusively for Alberta Progressive Conservative MLAs by the Public Affairs Bureau verges on propaganda, is a partisan misuse of taxpayers' money and provides the governing party with an unfair advantage, a panel of political scientists says.

"This manual is a straight-up abuse of taxpayers' money because it is money that is being used to communicate what the Tory party is doing, not what the government is doing," said Jonathan Rose, a Queen's University professor.
