local cons try to gut OPIRG

The University of Guelph appears to have become a battleground for corporatist forces looking to gut the university's progressive elements. From the destruction of the organic science department on behalf of companies like Monsanto and other supporters of genetically modified Frankenfoods (that have as much in common with real food as plastics have) to the efforts of the local Conservative Party to take control of the local Ontario Public Interest Research Group (so they can destroy it) it is clear why Pamela Wallin was appointed to the federal senate by Harper: as the former Chancellor she created an environment at the university designed to destroy the progressive community that makes Guelph such a unusual place to live. OPIRG and Organic Science are just two prongs of what is an intentional evisceration of opposition to the Corporatist agenda, and thus to the Conservative agenda. It is designed to break the back of Guelph as the home of one of the most creative communities in Canada. By gutting everything progressive at the university, the longer term goal is to turn the U of G into just one more factory for producing corporate drone workers, people without imaginations, insight or conscience. Leaving the city ripe for an eventual Conservative political victory. They hate Guelph so badly they taste their own bile every time they think about the levels of resistance here. This has the malice of the Manning Institute written all over, the tool of the phony populist Preston Manning, whose likewise phony populist father Ernest, both served the agenda of corporate socialism. This is Harper's conservative vision for Canada. Corporate control of society, covered with a veneer of pretend libertarianism. But resistance is fruitful, just like the difference between plastic fruit and real fruit.

Uof G's Right turn

The University of Guelph's decision to jettison organic agriculture in favour of corporatist monoculture tells you just how far the takeover of higher education by right wing agendas is proceeding. Gone are the days of liberal education, welcome to the age of conservative education, the narrowing of focus into money streams and corporate science, the science of power and reaction. The rot that brought us the Great Recession is now infecting the Academy. Time for everyone to line up and get your drone brain implants. The university has betrayed it's own truths, and the pimps that have taken over, are lining up to serve the whore of Babylon. Watch the the U of G plunge from it's top five position in the best universities in Canada polls, the conscienceless pursuit of profit will produce nothing of value, and they'll begin turning out nothing but corporate hacks.

Are there no Canadian Conservatives left ?

I realize your party has been taken over by republicans from the American oil reserve of Alberta, but do none of you respect British constitutionalism, or have you so embraced corporatism (& the fact that a corporation cannot sign an affidavit in court because corporations lack legal consciences to bind them) that you lie repeatedly & insistently about parliamentary democracy because you are simply company/party men, without consciences to bind you to the truth ? Where are the conservative defenders of real Canadian democracy ? There is nothing undemocratic about coalition government, & yet you've convinced millions of people that your lies are true. And many of you, like the "Christian Conservative", are lying in the name God. Which is likewise inexplicable to me, & also seems like a dangerous thing to do if you actually believe in God.

Don't know what game Frank Valeriote's playing

but I didn't vote for him anyway. Assuming this story is true.

The Man who Brought Guelph Kovach

Doug Finley, the man who orchestrated the ousting of Brent Barr and the re-insertion of Gloria Kovach in the campaign is stepping down as a minority only organizer for Harper.

And so we begin

And so we begin the test of common sense or the lack of it yet again. We have come to a time when the hand of the oiligarchs and bankers and gangster capitalists and globalizing independent operators have begun to dig the bed for the money stream of power current they hope to harness as finance for their corporate-state, hereafter called Planet Earth Inc. Here in Guelph we know the number of the beast, it was the same as the address of the house that Ronald Reagan retired from the presidency into, (but only after he got them to change the address from 666 to 668 in an attempt to persuade us to forget that shade of truth.)

Cons can't win Guelph

As the poll results began to roll in on election night there were a lot of people who didn't vote liberal who had "hang on Frank" in their hearts if not in their mouths. 71% of the population voted for progressive policies, 29% for regressivism. By the time the next election rolls around two or three or four hurricane seasons from now when Canada will have sat on the sidelines booing climate change warriors and Harper's denial of the problem will have become so mindless as to finally become intolerable even to his own supporters who will have come to understand with increasing horror just how utterly wrong their man is, was and ever more shall be on the necessity of action, it may well me too late to do anything meaningful. And then they and we shall reap the whirlwind. The Alberta financed Con party will be destroyed for good, to or three or four years too late. Unfortunately for the majority of Canadians who wanted something done on climate change but got Harper's minority instead because a bunch of frightened 905 voters lacked the vision to see beyond their mortgage payments, the rest of us will be in the same boat as them. They shouldn't be too surprised if we throw them overboard and cheer when they sink.
