Prime Minister Paul Martin says the second half of the election campaign will be about values – the difference between his vision of a caring Canada and Stephen Harper’s “fend-for-yourself” society.
[…] Martin played up the “clear difference of values that is illustrated by Stephen Harper’s goal of a fend-for-yourself Canada and my vision of a country in which we strive together as a society toward a common good.”

How hideous. Liberals and “values”? What “values”?
“Fend for yourself” is now a bad thing? Something to vote against? That’s the kind of values that liberals stand for? Teaching people that fending for yourself is a bad thing? A negative? That’s something only a socialist or communist could cotton onto. That’s something that only someone who has totally given up on trying himself would coach his countrymen. Newsflash for you liberals on the left: Canada was built by people who “fended for themselves”. It worked out pretty well, as I think you’ll agree. That pioneering spirit and can-do attitude is sorely missing today. They want to destroy it completely.
There’s a “value” you can put in your hash pipe and smoke while you collect unemployment insurance or welfare.
And besides it’s a load of hooey in any case, as Conservatives don’t wish to abandon our responsibilities as caring humans—quite the contrary. And every single Canadian who isn’t drunk or high on crack knows that.
I figure the Liberals’ recent effort to paint themselves as the party of “values” is not supposed to be as funny as it is. It’s a pre-emptive attack (which they are officially against in the case of terrorism), perhaps created by the pretend conservatives who are now fully outed as left-wing liberals Scott Brison and Belinda Stronach, on what Canadians really do value—and what worked so well for the conservative Republican Party in the U.S. elections last time, which was described as “values” according to many. Only Conservatives can run on “values”, and liberals know it. They’re simply hijacking the word, now.
Sensible people value law and order, self-reliance, free markets, enterprising Canadians, small government that stays out of their way, caring for our sick and elderly, making strong families to help our country grow, strong moral values in government and throughout society, and so on. Liberals don’t. Liberals know as much about “values” and have as much right to talk about “values” as my dog, which isn’t a chow chow or an “a-hole”.
I can’t imagine which “values” the Liberals could possibly be talking about. Perhaps:
The Liberals’ self-proclaimed “Canadian value” of unlimited taxpayer-funded abortions which can occur at any time in any pregnancy—even at the ninth month—for any reason or no reason at all whatsoever as many times as any woman at any age decides, and all in taxpayer-funded socialist public hospitals—and yet even at private abortion mills which are suddenly perfectly OK in this instance. Maybe they mean that “Canadian value”? Yeah I sense a difference between the liberals and conservatives on that one. And I sense that conservatives are the party of values here.
Or the “Canadian value” as created by liberals who decided that what Canada needs urgently at this time is to change the definition of “Canadian family” and “marriage” to further destroy the value of the Canadian family in favor of reverence of government instead? That value? I detect a difference there. I favor the conservative outlook on traditional marriage and family. Conservatives traditionally stand for family and family values. That’s a fact.
Or maybe he means the liberals’ plans to make prostitution legal in this country. That grand “Canadian value”. That’s a winning strategy for our great country.
Maybe he’s talking about their plans to enable the kids to more easily smoke pot on the streets. That “value” is sure to help attract the best and brightest to our country—and help grow and nurture another great liberal value—of gettin’ high on pot. I sense that I like the conservative take on this one. It’s an actual Canadian value and pro-family at that. That’s my kind of values.
Or maybe he’s talking about their Supreme Court division, which just decided in December that another “Canadian value” is to encourage the growth of clubs at which Canadians—perhaps whole families—can get together and watch group sex, participate in the group sex if they feel the urge, and swap wives back and forth. That’s a “value”? That a good Canadian “family value”? Is that what “values” he’s talking about? I really think the conservative outlook on this would appeal to most Canadians.
Maybe he’s talking about the treasonous “Canadian value” of decimating our national military defence forces to the point where they’re practically bankrupt and approaching full “rust-out”. Purposely underfunding it and to the extent that Canada can no longer effectively defend its own borders, much less fight effectively abroad for freedom and democracy and against terrorism. I don’t dig that “value” much. That doesn’t help Canadian families or our nation at all whatsoever. In fact I would say that Canadian liberals in general should be put on trial for that “value”.
Maybe he thinks we dig the “Canadian value” in which he himself avoids paying corporate taxes in Canada from his Canada Steamship Lines to the extent that he can, because the corporate taxes and laws are too high for him here, and so he hides his business interests in tax havens and avoids all the stringent working conditions that good Canadians abide by happily here at home. That “value” provides HOW much “value” for Canadians? He’s going to lecture us about “values”?
Maybe he’s talking about the sponsorship corruption “value” that the RCMP are still investigating on a criminal basis after his Liberal government operatives have been shown by the Gomery inquiry to have stolen taxpayer cash and used it to fuel their own party. It’s really as if they were a bunch of fascist gangsters, and as if they were totally corrupt—and hey whadyaknow, maybe they are. We know nothing about this sordid tale in actual fact. By design. Maybe that’s a “value” he hopes to encourage among all Canadians so that the depravity of his own party will pale by comparison. Personally I don’t go for that “value”. But you go, Mr. Martin. Keep talking. The more you talk, the more hideous you become.
Maybe they think that Canadians value state-run media like they have in communist countries. Maybe they figure Canadians don’t value the BILLION dollars per year that the spend on the state-run CBC or its many web sites. And this is to say nothing of the ideology behind it—the mindset that approves of state-run culture-pushers and state-employed news gatherers and state-employed official state opinion-makers. That’s freedom? Democracy? That’s your values? Not mine, mister.
Or they may well be talking about the value of waiting in pain for months or years for horrible health care, if they even make it that far without dying first. That “value” is the biggest corruption scandal, in reality, but the liberals and the liberal-left in general paint it as a “Canadian value”. They hope to model another socialist effort on that failed model of left-wing liberalism—their “value” which includes plugging your kids into a state-run “childcare” and “early-learning” institution—Soviet style. Rely on the state, is what they say we value, rather than on family and on ourselves.
I don’t know, maybe it’s the value in which now, in my once far greater country, you can hardly find a Canadian or a Canadian company that doesn’t fully or at least to some great extent rely on the liberals’ government. They either work directly for the government, or are subsidized or aided in some way by the government. That sounds like a communist “value” to me. I like the conservative form of that “value”, which is manifestly the opposite of that liberal(?) “value”.
Naturally, they’ll tell you they’re talking about the “values” of nanny-state, big-brother, huge government and socialism, but they’ll use other words. “The common good”. “Compassion”. “Tolerance”. “Progressive” But in reality those “values” are valued in socialist countries by the socialist leaders and their party only. And the common thread is that in those countries they tell their citizenry what their values are. They decide, as these liberals do, what they will watch on TV and listen to on the radio. They subsidize book and magazine publishers and most every single television production. It’s hideous.
