Paul Jackson - Stuck on Stupid

Granted, Paul Jackson is seldom terribly rational or logical, but this week's prognostication is particularly stupid.

He's back on his favorite second topic - when it's not idolizing nutjobs like Ted Morton, it's whining as loud as he can about newly selected Liberal Leader Stephane Dion.

It is this: The man who holds foreign nationality and who did a stint in his beloved France at the Laboratoire d' economie publique de Paris will be a talking, walking disaster who will make fumbling Paul Martin look sharp.

Now, if he just inflicts his incompetence and zany ideas on the Liberal party that will be fine, but should he win the next election he'd lead our nation into economic and social disaster.


Oh for crying out loud, Mr. Jackson. Surely you are are better man than that. Dion holds foreign citizenship as do a great many Canadians. Grow up and park your half baked bigotry somewhere else. You keep claiming that there's a problem here, but you seem amazingly willing to give people like Ted Morton a pass on the subject.

After not understanding what the fuss was about over revelations he sought out French citizenship, Dion urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to kill the second part of his GST reduction cutting the tax to 5%.

Since this was one of Harper's most successful campaign planks, why would the prime minister be so reckless as not to follow through in the next budget?


Oh, I don't know Paul, how about funding PMSH's little project in Afghanistan, which seems to be in grave danger of pushing the federal government into deficit.

Then we have his plan for punitive tax measures for Alberta's energy sector.

He calls this the "carrot and stick" approach, but I'm betting there'll be more sticks than carrots.

What does Dion actually know about the workings of the energy sector?

My guess: Nothing at all.

Such brain-addled interference will bring on another National Energy Program that will destroy our province's economy and send shock waves across the nation. Since Alberta's buoyant economy is the engine driving, to a large extent, the Ontario and Quebec economies, watch for an economic collapse in Eastern Canada.


Jeepers! Can this pint-sized idiot come up with something even vaguely original? The second anyone suggests regulating anything in the energy patch, or possibly insisting that producers actually be accountable for more than just next quarter's profits, it's suddenly "The NEP all over!" line.

Coming from Mr. Jackson, I'd have to guess that he and cubicle buddy Ezra Levant are busy working each other into a lather as they begin to panic over the dwindling fortunes of PMSH and his fumbling sycophant ministers.

[Update 22/01/07]It appears that Ezra's similarly panicked ... or are there things going on between him and Jackson that most of us would rather not know about?

Seriously, boys, it's time to grow up and quit whining all the time - it's really quite unbecoming to grown men.
