CYBER BOOK BURNING

As most of you are probably already aware the new Conservative government has been busy turning the Government of Canada website into it’s own little propaganda ministry. But you might not be aware of how far they’re going in this quest to turn this site that belongs to the people of Canada into their own private webpage.

It seems our new Minister of the EnvironmentGlobal Warming Denial, Rona Ambrose has also been busy purging the Environment Canada site of anything to do with Global Warming. I’ve been to this site in the past and it used to have all sorts of information on global warming. Now nearly all of that info is gone. And I’m not just talking about information on the Liberal programs that the Conservatives cancelled like the One Tonne Challenge. I’m talking about scientific data and research papers on the subject.

This site belongs to the people of Canada, not the Conservative Party. And deleting information on subjects they don’t agree with is the cyber equivalent of book burning.

    It’s for the best, people like you were buying into all that scarmongering and were thinking we should start re-distributing our weath through bogus emissions credit trading schemes that make it look like were reducing emissions, when in fact nothing was getting better.

    Now, go back to sleep and we’ll wake you up when Harper unveils the master plan.

  2. Zorpheous said,

    The master plan??? LOL, that is to completely ignore the problem while pretending to do something. Governments are experts at this, liberal or Conservative

  3. Derrell said,

    Exactly, why pretend to do something about a problem and spend lots of cash just for the optics of making it seem like your the champian of the enviroment. At least the cons are saving money by doing nothing, we can use it for more tax cuts err…. I mean paying off the debt.

  4. Ti-Guy said,

    Derrel, shut the fuck up. This is about the disappearance of factual reports from Government websites, not your stupid need to spout propaganda. Are you not making quota, or something?

  5. Locusta emersonia said,

    I though Darrell was commenting tongue-in-cheek, Ti-Guy. Really, how else could he respond to the takeover of the Canadian domain by Tory propogandists?

    Still, funny though he thinks it is, I sure hope some MP’s bring this up in the House.

    Perhaps Ambose will publish some tar-sands info, or is that dirty little secret part of the “Master Plan”?

    p.s. Derrell, it’s spelled CHAMPION, just in case you might need to right that on the Gov.CA website describing the current PM :)

  6. Locusta emersonia said,

    Soz, first post when I didn’t preview and I make to typos :S “thought” and “write”. Have a great long weekend!

    It’s a little game Derrell and I play. I think we both like it :)

  8. Derrell said,

    I wasn’t joking, no sir not one bit!!!!, I think it’s wonderful that Rona has taken it upon herself to go above and beyond the call of duty and clean all the Liberal chaff from the Canadian domain and leave nothing but Conservative wheat.

  9. arthurdecco said,

    This is exactly the methodology implemented by the Bush Regime!

    Erase any and all awkward truths from the record. Install party hacks and fund raisers in positions of power. Insult and belittle any party or person who disagrees with your fanatical intent. Pout, pontificate or threaten as necessary.

    There is no longer any room for argument - The adolescent loser in charge of our government is attempting to create a one party state, directed from afar, using the identical tools developed by Rethuglicans! That’s not intelligence he’s displaying - its animal cunning - a bestial throwback to before cave living. This man is feral!

    Thank god our Supreme Court is beyond his reach for now. We may survive as an independent nation. We may…

    PS Derrell, “You’re as dumb as a sack of hammers”, as one of my crusty farming neighbours used to say to those who liked to offer him loud and stupid farming advice/opinion from the comfortable seat of their Bimmer when they came by to pay for the hay their un-used horses ate.

    Rona can’t distinguish between either of those thing, Derrell. And you can’t either if you don’t can refer to specifics. Claiming otherwise is dishonest.

  11. Derrell said,

    Hey, I wasn’t talken to you Arturdecco, so go take a ride in your “Bimmer” or something. :)

  12. Derrell said,

    Whoh, that’s some eloquint use of grammer there Ti.

  13. arthurdecco said,

    I don’t care who you were talking to, Derrell.

    And I drive an Element - wouldn’t be caught dead in an over-priced status machine like so many of the Conservatives I know.

  14. Ti-Guy said,

    Derrell in his “making a shambles” mode. Whole lot of blather, all of it useless. In all the time I’ve been here, I don’t think he’s said one substantive thing.

    He’s probably drunk.

  15. Derrell said,

    Ya well my status machine is a 1996 ford windstar minivan, so there!!!!

  16. Ti-Guy said,

    That’s a shag-wagon.

  17. Derrell said,

    Ti-Guy, there’s not one substantive thing that’s been said, it’s all been bash Derrell day, but that’s Ok because it’s making me feel better. I just lost 3 hrs worth of data entry at 4 pm because I forgot to save and Bill gates fucked it all up.

    BTW I just went over to the enviro website and I didn’t see a single one of the things that Robert is claiming is missing.

    More like a Lag-wagon.

  19. The government does not need to give information to left-wing Canadians regarding the enviroment. Al Gore’s new movie (lol) will tell them everything they need to know: That humans are changing the global climate drastically, even though Alberta used to be a tropical jungle(i.e all the Oil), AND a barren iceland.
    “Naturally” George W. Bush’s policies are the root cause of everything, even though the Liberals had(keyword) a much worse record on CO2 emmitions.

  20. Paladiea said,

    *sigh* Things will get worse before they get better…

  21. Paladiea said,

    That humans are changing the global climate drastically, even though Alberta used to be a tropical jungle(i.e all the Oil), AND a barren iceland.

    Yeah MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO.

    It’s the government’s job to educate the public KotR… Just because it didn’t doa good job with you doesn’t mean everyone else should wallow in ignorance too.

  22. Ti-Guy said,

    BTW I just went over to the enviro website and I didn’t see a single one of the things that Robert is claiming is missing.

    *snick* Man, whoever your billing is getting really ripped off. That’s the weakest spin I’ve ever seen. Robert’s only made a general claim of what seems to be missing, so you wouldn’t even know what to look for. More winger reality.

    I’ve seen the Con redesign of the gc.ca websites. It’s a disgrace. Tax-payer money for Con propaganda….ConProp. That’s what happens when every last fucking person in the party is a consultant who’s never had a real job in his or her life.

  23. Derrell said,

    Took you long enough to figure out the assine backwardsness of that statement, I’ve been snickering since I wrote it hoping Arthur would step in and take the bait, But you’ll do. :)

  24. Yeah MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO.
    And according to loser Al Gore, a million years of climate change will occur over the course of ten years. *snicker*

    It’s the government’s job to educate the public KotR…
    No, it’s YOUR job to educate yourself.
    Reliance is a positive word to LOONleftICS like Padaliea…

    Just because it didn’t doa good job with you doesn’t mean everyone else should wallow in ignorance too.
    Am I supposed to feel by insulted be a person who holds reliance on the government as a virtue???

  25. Paladiea said,

    And according to loser Al Gore, a million years of climate change will occur over the course of ten years.

    And Al Gore is the end all and be all of the climate change? We all know that accelerated climate change is happening. Some of us are more pessimistic than others.

    No, it’s YOUR job to educate yourself.
    Reliance is a positive word to LOONleftICS like Padaliea…

    When you found your own school and get a doctorate then your argument will make sense. As it stands you just look like the grade A hypocrite you are.

    Am I supposed to feel by insulted be a person who holds reliance on the government as a virtue???

    No you’re supposed to feel ashamed at your own appalling ignorance.

  26. Ti-Guy said,

    Took you long enough to figure out the assine backwardsness of that statement, I’ve been snickering since I wrote it hoping Arthur would step in and take the bait, But you’ll do.

    That’s called a post hoc rationalisation. Meaning you thought it up after I pointed out the fallacy. Or if you didn’t, you’re just a troll.

  27. Paladiea said,

    Reliance is a positive word to LOONleftICS like Padaliea…

    And SPELL MY DAMN NAME RIGHT. It’s P-a-l-a-d-i-e-a in case you can’t swivel your eyes enought to look at the title of my posts.

  28. Ti-Guy said,

    Can we not engage Knight? The guy is a lie-machine.

  29. Paladiea said,

    Can we not engage Knight? The guy is a lie-machine.

    Oh alright…

    I’m heading out anyhow ;)

  30. Derrell said,

    But the “fallacy”was soooo obvious, anyways I have to go so have a great long weekend P-a-l-a-d-i-e-a :) and Ti, it’s been fun.

  31. Derrell said,

    That should read “phallic-sy”

  32. Dave said,

    Well I for one am grateful to Robert for pointing this out. I had no idea that our government was destroying the left wing crap cluttering the government websites, but now I know, I say thankyou. Thankyou to Robert, thankyou to HM government. And thankyou to the NDP for its determination to be irrelevant for ever. Thankyou all !

  33. It’s a little game Derrell and I play.

    Hey, there will be no game playing at My Blahg. We’re all here for serious discussion, not horseplay. Snicker.

  34. Ti-Guy said,

    No, believe me when I tell you, the pleasure is all ours.

  35. Rubert said,

    “…We’re all here for serious discussion, not horseplay. Snicker.”

    Oh, fuck. Here, the site host admits his site is meant to be a troll-baiting parody of anything that gets him attention. Too bad it isn’t always so blatantly acknowledged.

    If he continues to make such open confessional statements on a regular basis, perhaps he wouldn’t be seen as such a hatefilled cum splat on the internet. Instead, he might simply be seen as the deranged dipshit he has always been.

  36. Ti-Guy said,

    You’re lonely, aren’t you, Rubie?

  37. Derrell says:

    BTW I just went over to the enviro website and I didn’t see a single one of the things that Robert is claiming is missing.

    Then Ti-Guy says:

    *snick* Man, whoever your billing is getting really ripped off. That’s the weakest spin I’ve ever seen. Robert’s only made a general claim of what seems to be missing, so you wouldn’t even know what to look for. More winger reality.

    Fuck did you ever walk into that one Ti-Gumby! But that wasn’t enough! You then engage in some post hoc rationalization, by accusing Derrell of…post hoc rationalization!

    That’s called a post hoc rationalisation. Meaning you thought it up after I pointed out the fallacy. Or if you didn’t, you’re just a troll.

    Not your day is it?

  38. Ti-Guy said,

    Look, little guy. I really don’t have time for your masturbatory antagonism anymore. Sober up, get a partner, get a life.

  39. spek said,

    masturbatory antagonism

    *Perfect*

  40. When you found your own school and get a doctorate then your argument will make sense. As it stands you just look like the grade A hypocrite you are.
    Ahhhhhh yes. Left-wing elitism. Only people that hold a doctorate can make comments at a blog, and those that do anyway, without a doctorate, are hypocrites.

    Palidia’s(or however the fuck the name is spelt) contribution to this discusion should be noted, AND revered. Take THIS uplifting quote of optimism, for example…
    *sigh* Things will get worse before they get better…
    Sigh… And the left wonders why they are powerless in every democracy outside of France…

  41. Jeff said,

    Bring it home Knight. Bring it…..Sweet Home, Alllllberta.

  42. Ti-Guy said,

    What’s happening, boys? You Big Oil cheques in danger? I heard Rona’s in trouble.

  43. Jeff said,

    All I know is that the average price for a house in the city of Edmonton has gone up approx 100000 in the last 2 years. If Rona is doing badly, that is their own damn fault. You’d have to be a 3 sided Allen wrench to do badly in this economy.

  44. Jeff said,

    …….or NDP.

  45. Ti-Guy said,

    Yeah. Too bad about the schools.

  46. “What’s happening, boys?”
    Nuthin’.
    “You Big Oil cheques in danger?”
    In danger of being increased…
    “I heard Rona’s in trouble.”
    Well, there ARE alot of fringe LOONleftICS that will need to stalk her. Ask Condy…
