Dear Mrs. Ioanonni:

I would like you to know that, as a lifelong PC / Reform / Alliance / Conservative voter (I once lived in Burnaby Kingsway; I never had the opportunity to vote for Svend Robinson, however I would have done so regardless of politics because he was an excellent MP and activist for his constituents), I will be voting for you this time. You can also count on the support of my wife, Melissa, as well.

I wrote your leader, Mr. Mulcair, a letter on June 1, 2015. I reproduced this letter on my humble blog effort, LettersToTheBeast.com. This message will also end up on my blog.

(https://letterstothebeast.com/2015/06/04/canadian-conservatives-electing-and-ndp-government-is-the-only-way-to-preserve-and-regain-our-freedoms-including-the-freedom-to-rebuild-the-conservative-party/)

The gist of this letter is to that I will support your party in this election, but Mr. Mulcair, and an equally capable finance minister, need to restrain the far-left agenda types that may also find themselves elected. In short, your party will need a clone of Paul Martin. Andrew Thomson, should he be elected, would be acceptable.

If your party surprises right-leaning Canadians by governing responsibly not going overboard with crazy promises, I will be happy to vote for you again.

Should Mr. Mulcair become prime minister, I would expect his first act of office to be to introduce legislation to repeal not only bill C-51, but C-38 and all the other draconian legislation Mr. Nicholson, as well as Messrs. Toews and MacKay have stickhandled through parliament in the guise of “omnibus bills.”

It goes without saying that I would also expect you, personally, to be accessible as our member of parliament. I’m not saying I expect you to invite your constituents to drop over and chat in your back yard as our previous M.P. Gary Pilletteri did (though it would be a nice gesture). But I would expect you to hold regular public meetings, to answer your mail, return phone calls and meet with your constituents in your office. Mr. Nicholson has been in hiding for a decade and it is beyond me how he continued being elected term after term.

I have sent your office a small donation (for myself and my wife) and I will undertake to send more in over the course of the election as my finances permit.

Not to end on an unpleasant point, but should you be elected (and I hope you are), and your party attains power, I can promise you will never here the end of me if Mr. Mulcair goes Bob Rae in a hurry.

Thank you and good luck.

Canadian conservatives: Electing an NDP government is the only way to preserve and regain our freedoms; including the freedom to rebuild the Conservative Party

June 1, 2015

Mr. Thomas Mulcair, M.P.

House of Commons

Dear Mr. Mulcair:

I am writing to first congratulate your party on your provincial colleagues’ win in Alberta last month. I am also writing to tell you that, as a conservative, I will be taking a huge chance and voting for your party federally in the next general election. Clearly the good people of Alberta feel as I do.

I am hopeful that your party can find a candidate here in Niagara Falls that can pull off a win as impressive as Wayne Gates did in the past provincial general election and by-election.

Yours was the only party who opposed the “anti-terrorism” legislation, bill C-51. And you, personally, were the only politician in the country who had the courage to point out certain questions with regards to the purported death of USAma bin-Laden.

While I realize an NDP government would have certain loyalties and agendas to implement, I would ask that a Mulcair administration:

  • End Canadian participation in the U.S. War of Terror and “war on drugs.”

  • Repeal all Harper regime legislation which seeks to implement a police state

  • Restore constitutional freedoms

  • End unconditional support for the government of israel, stop all foreign aid to that government and cease enabling its war crimes

  • introduce legislation to elect senators in the long term. And in the short term, do not appoint any senators under the age of 70.

  • Pardon all Canadians convicted of victimless (i.e. drug possession) crimes, and release those currently caged.

  • Repeal Canada – U.S. – “border security” arrangements which seek to allow U.S. Police agents to operate and be armed in our country.

  • Eliminate the parliamentary “pension plan” for current members of parliament and investigate repudiating past obligations.

  • Order the RCMP to open an impartial investigation into criminal code offenses and War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity offenses committed by members of the Harper regime and appoint a special prosecutor.

To be clear, I oppose many of the policies of the NDP. As a resident of Ontario throughout the Bob Rae government of the 1990s, you can understand why. I abhor big government, even bigger taxation, a cradle-to-grave nanny-state and gun-grabbing. I am under no illusion that you and I will see eye-to-eye on those matters. However, even Bob Rae surprised us. Unfortunately, it was too late by then.

I am certain, however, that if you want to implement your socialist agenda, you have to give Canadians the tools make the money in order to pay the taxes to do so. First and foremost, we need the banksters thrown off of parliament hill. We need the Bank of Canada – if not abolished – to at least work for Canadians. We can accomplish that by ordering the Bank to return to its original purpose of issuing credit to the government of Canada at zero interest. And issuing our public currency at no cost. As it stands now, every “dollar” issued by the Bank of Canada is a loan at interest.

We can also agree that paying interest on debt is a waste of money that could better be used for good of Canadians. Paul Martin had us on the road to paying off our debt. Our country needs to be debt-free while it is still mathematically possible. Canadians need to understand that banks thrive on debt – both consumer and public. Nothing will bring the banksters to heel quite like becoming debt-free. Just make sure you are wearing your Kevlar underpants because the Rothschilds and the “federal” “reserve” won’t be happy with you (see Iraq, Libya, Iran and Syria for examples of their displeasure).

We need a government that will repudiate past governments’ one-way trade deals, particularly with China and Mexico. Allowing corporations to move their factories to third-world countries with no environmental, labour or wage legislation and then ship their goods back here tariff-free makes absolutely no sense. It is a simple matter to re-instate countervailing duties. Governments – both Conservative and Liberal – had such policies in place for over a century prior to NAFTA. If the Trans-Pacific Partnership is implemented in Canada by the Harper regime, I would expect your government to repudiate and repeal it, in its entirety.

If your future government is willing to restore our constitutional freedoms and do what is necessary to bring good-paying manufacturing jobs back to Canada, even if it means displeasing Wall Street, and if your government does not succumb to the temptation of going overboard with socialism, I believe you can count on the support of millions of conservative Canadians.

Canadians have never opposed paying a reasonable level of taxation. However, we expect something in return. We want good roads, good schools, hospitals, fire departments, police as servants of the people, our neighbours taken care of in times of need. On the other hand, using our hard-earned tax money to fund a state spy grid, government corruption, Wall Street, the City of London, foreign aid to third-world despots, sending our military around the world to make the world safe for U.S. Dollar hegemony, and funding israeli government war crimes are NOT a wise use of our money. Or the lives of our young people, for that matter.

I am a conservative. And I am a union member. And I am willing to give your party a chance. This once.

israel - Thomas Mulcair

In closing, should you be chosen by the people of Canada to be Prime Minister this Fall, I would expect you to lay down the law with your future caucus: If any member is found to be working for a foreign influence (i.e. a foreign government – even israel -, a globalist organization such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission or Bilderberg, or a bank or corporation) he or she will be expelled from caucus and your party. Mr. Mulcair, Libby Davies was right. And you were wrong.

Sincerely,

P.S.: Please, sir. Don’t stab us in the back like Obama did to his supporters.

The government takes everything we have and James Moore can’t figure out why some people can’t even afford to feed their own children.

Dear Mr. Moore:

If there was anyone who was begging to be wiped out at the next election, it is you. I see it as the patriotic duty of your constituents to eject you from office. When it comes to my own purported member of parliament, I have a similar obligation to the country.

It is absolutely astounding that somebody such as yourself, who has never held a real job in his lifetime, who engages in treason at the Trilateral Commission, who hangs out with war criminals such as Henry Kissinger, who lives off the public trough and will continue to do so for the rest of his unnatural life (provided a future government doesn’t repudiate “our” parliamentary pension “obligation.”) would attack needy families, of all things. At Christmas. You’re a real manly man, aren’t you, Jim?

One could argue there is a nugget of truth in your assertion that “your” government is not responsible for hungry children. That is of course if you weren’t spending hundreds of billions of dollars annually on matters of which you have no constitutional authority.

Every two weeks, “your” government confiscates about one-third of my paycheque. Were this money used for the betterment of the country, I would not have a problem with it. Instead, that money is sucked up by a government of corrupt Israel-Firsters to fund war crimes around the planet. It is sucked up by a privately-owned central bank loaning us our own currency at interest. It is sucked up by sleazebag feather-bedding politicians like Michael “Mike” Duffy, Pamela Wallen, Patrick Brazeau, Mac Harb, Irving Gerstein, Bev Oda and so many more that I cannot even keep track. I could probably add every single member of parliament from every party to the list.

If “your” government is so confident of its moral authority to govern, how about ending withholding-at-source? I wonder how much of us would write a cheque to Ottawa every April 30th when we are witness to such outrageous waste, corruption, criminality and incompetence.

It must be nice to have an exorbitant salary, generous expense account, a platinum “pension” scheme, job security, a car and driver (what, you can’t even drive? You’re too good for the city bus? Even the minister of finance used to be seen on the GO train in Toronto). Business-class and first-class air travel (the least you could do is ask David Rockefeller to pick up your Trilateral expenses). G.M.O.-free food at the parliamentary dining room.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys had a groom of the stool as well.

Have you been in Ottawa so long that you think everybody lives like you do?

You claim unemployment is down and the economy is prospering. What planet are you living on? I am aware that our country is still in the midst of a housing bubble, and that Vancouver will likely be the last to pop. But over-valued real estate is by no means a measure of the health of the country. The real estate market is no more representative of the health of the Canadian economy than the stock market is of the United States. And in the case of the latter, when the “federal” “reserve” stops printing a minimum of $85-billion per month (on the books), not including its daily transfers to the President’s Working Group on Capital Markets (aka Plunge Protection Team) to keep the Dow up every day, it’s over. When that day happens, the best thing you and your colleagues could do is leave. Go to the Caymans, Switzerland, City of London, Israel, anywhere. Just leave.

I am not going to tell you what I do for a living or where as I am not prepared to hold myself up to harassment. However, I will tell you that I make good coin where I work and I am still having a difficult time. In my family, my brother has suffered the most; he works for General Motors on the line in Osahwa (in other words, real productive work). He was on layoff for nearly three years before being recalled full-time. I have been helping him out as best I can, as well as assisting my mother.

Since 2006, “your” government has continued the Liberal policy of going around the world and signing one-way trade agreements with every third-world country on the planet. People went along with this at first because “we” suddenly saw cheap swag at Wal-Mart. Who cares if a bunch of autoworkers in Oshawa, Windsor or Oakville lose their jobs. So what about those steelworkers in Hamilton. Bunch of lazy overpaid oafs anyway. Right, Jim? Hey, I can get a flat-screen TV at China-Mart for two hundred bucks. So what if it was manufactured by slaves, prisoners and children. Countervailing duties and import quotas? Only commies talk like that.

For the record, the computer I am typing this letter on was manufactured in Oakville, Ontario.

The very people you mock and revile very likely had jobs when their children were born. In the intervening time, “your” government pulled the rug out from underneath them. See, Jim: here in the real world, our jobs don’t run in four-year increments. We can lose them at any time.

As one of the early Ontario members of the Reform Party in Ontario (signed up by turncoat Deborah Grey, no less, in 1990) , an enthusiastic for my local candidate in 1993 and 1997, and a loyal Reform, Alliance and Conservative voter up until 2008, there are no words for the degree of my disgust with your Conservative party.

Not only does your party need to suffer a humiliating electoral apocalypse in order to force a re-building, the entire cabinet (and prime minister) need be brought to justice for corruption, gross violations of the constitution, and even war crimes. And for the Trilateralists, C.F.R.s, Bilderbergers and other Israel-Firsters amongst: Treason. I cannot think of one single Conservative member of parliament who is worthy of redemption.

And yes, I know your Liberal (or god forbid) N.D.P. successors will become just as corrupt and just as psychotic as you Conservatives are now. At least, those who are not already. However, it will be one more stop in an eventual constitutional restoration by Canadians. I anticipate this happening around the same time our armed American friends enforce their own restoration.

As your god is my witness, I swear I will live to see every single one of you brought to trial.

P.S.

P.S. When the U.S. Dollar collapses and takes our fiat garbage with it, all those promises made for your retirement will be utterly worthless. “We” might as well be paying you in Zimbabwe dollars. Keep that in mind, Jim.

Dr. Kellie Leitch, M.P.

House of Commons

K1A 0A6

Dear Dr. Leitch:

I was impressed by Julie van Dusen’s article about you which was posted on www.cbc.ca on December 25, 2013.

Even if you are only practising enough hours to maintain your medical license, the fact that you do not take a salary from C.H.E.O. Is a truly magnanimous gesture on your part.

I would respectfully submit, however, that the whole system is backwards. Up until the early part of the last century, our parliament was made up of citizen legislators. Members met for a month or so every year, performed the nation’s business and went home to their real jobs. The House had some lawyers, but was not made up almost exclusively of lawyers and accountants.

These members were held accountable by their constituents.

The former member of parliament here in Niagara Falls was Gary Pilliteri, a vintner. He owns a vineyard and winery north of here in Niagara-on-the-Lake. When he wasn’t in Ottawa, I used to be able to find him at his winery on Highway 55. I was actually able to sit with him on his patio behind the store. This is what our M.P.s are expected to do. You are expected to be accessible, honest, and a contributing member of society. This is why it is called the House of Commons. As opposed to the ruling class, who inhabit The Other Place.

In the United States, many state Houses still operate under the citizen legislator system. I once met a man on an Amtrak train who was a state senator in Arkansas. However, he was quick to point out his real job was a teacher.

If anything, you should be taking your salary from Children’s Hospital and your parliamentary duties should come secondary. I do not believe members of parliament or senators should be full-time positions. They (i.e.you ) should be part-time, paid on per-diem (as was the case in the British parliament until just over a century ago). Serving should be an honour. They should have real jobs in which they should continue, and have available to go back to when their term ends.

I maintain that a government made up of citizen representatives would result in government working in the best interest of Canadians. As it is now, the only entities government (any government) is interested in advancing is globalists, corporation, banksters and Israel (see John Baird and Jason Kenney). And its own interests, of course (warrantless wiretapping and an oppressive police state).

We would have a lot fewer M.P.s jetting around the country in CF-18s and drinking $17 glasses of orange juice in the finest hotels in the world if they were expected to work at real occupations and, more importantly, we knew where to find them and give them a piece of our mind when such behaviour happened. To say nothing of the high taxes imposed upon us, the corresponding waste and the corruption which is sadly considered par-for-the-course these days.

Given the fact your government so quickly turned its back on its Reform / Alliance base, I am under no illusions this will happen save for a popular constitutional restoration in this country. I thought I would be getting Preston Manning’s New Canada platform when I voted Reform, Alliance and Conservative for the past two decades. I regret I was mislead.

Mr. Justin Trudeau, M.P.

House of Commons

K1A 0A6

Dear Mr. Trudeau:

As a conservative-minded Canadian and former Conservative voter, I am writing to appeal to you and your party to get your (crap) together before the next election.

Here in Niagara Falls, we have a patriotic duty to our country to make sure our current member of parliament, Rob Nicholson, is not re-elected. He is a proponent of the police state and for that he needs to go. He should have been defeated in 2011. Unfortunately, your party chose to field an ineffective, incompetent candidate.

I would like to share with you a sampling of the intellectual heavyweight your provincial cousins chose to offer us, based on his purportedly self-written profile in the Niagara Falls Review newspaper of June 11, 2014:

Why I’m running/key issues: The focus of Lionel’s (sic) campaign has three elements: jobs, transportation and health care. I believes (sic) that I can bring jobs to Niagara, to reinvigorate and revive Niagara’s failing industrial sector. I am committed to bringing regular GO Transit service to Niagara so that Niagara will be connected to the rest of the province. I believes (sic) that all people of Niagara have a fundamental entitlement to quality accessible health care and that a hospital must be built sooner, rather than later, to address the needs of southern Niagara’s citizens.

—Lionel Tupman, age 26, lawyer

Mr. Tupman came in third place, 17,000 votes behind NDP incumbent Wayne Gates. Voters probably did this rich kid from Niagara-on-the-Lake a favour because on the first day of his campaign, he vowed to sue someone who had created a fake twitter account. If the boy doesn’t understand that dirty tricks and people saying mean things about you go hand-in-hand with politics, then the provincial riding association really screwed up with this one.

If your party expects my vote in the next federal election, you will field a candidate who will serve as a credible, engaging representative of the people. Hopefully somebody high-profile. Sticking us with whatever parasitic lawyer who is able to win the nomination will not cut it with me.

If the Liberal Party isn’t identifying ridings with current Conservative cabinet ministers and making those a high priority, then you are not doing your job as leader. In the case of Niagara Falls, it’s not just a matter of getting a winning candidate. It’s a national emergency. We have a member of parliament and cabinet minister who is an open opponent of the constitution. He advocates unlimited powers for police, supports the U.S. War of Terror, and is accelerating the policy of imprisoning Canadians for victimless offenses.

The only circumstances under which I would vote for your party is if both its leader and its party advocated a platform of a constitutional restoration, and a return to the fiscal sanity that Mr. Martin provided. I often express my regret for not voting (or at least supporting) your party when Paul Martin was leader and finance minister. He was the closest thing our country got to a true conservative leader.

You will also need to repudiate the policy of one-way free trade deals espoused by Messrs. Chretien and Martin. There are only two ways manufacturing will return and thus the depression will end: a) impose countervailing duties on goods manufactured by slaves with no labour, wage or environmental regulations or; b) Canadians must be willing to work for 25 cents per hour, 12 hours per day, seven days per week in factories with suicide nets. If Ontarians thought “b” was practical, Mr. Hudak would have won by a landslide last night.

While I could be persuaded to vote Liberal in the next federal election if that is what it takes to remove my current M.P. from office, if your party were to abandon its policies of gun-grabbing, blind obedience to Israel and implementing “carbon taxes” in the name of propagating the global warming hoax, I would gladly become a member as well.

For now, I am content to accept baby steps. End the “war on drugs” (and I don’t even smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, by the way), stop supporting the War of Terror, and reign in the police state. That, and cut spending and reduce taxes.

Up until 2004, we had an excellent Member of Parliament here in Niagara Falls: Gary Pilleteri. Mr. Pilleteri was a throwback to the way M.P.s used to be. And should be now. When he wasn’t in Ottawa, he could be found at his winery in Niagara on the Lake. Occasionally, I used to drop by and chat with him in his back yard. If it wasn’t for the fact that the man is pushing 80, I would drop by his winery and plead with him to run again. Did I happen to mention that I am a conservative?

Who is Rob Nicholson? Other than on television or in my mailbox, I have never seen his face. I have never seen him while walking down the street, or riding the city bus, or shopping. And he sure hasn’t invited me to join him in his back yard. For the years I have lived here, I can’t remember him even holding a public event (“town hall meeting” or something along those lines.

He is completely ineffective as a member of parliament. And the fault is partially your parties for consistently failing to offer up a credible candidate.

It is called the House of Commons for a reason: the house of the common people. Not a club for lawyers and accountants. We need more people with real jobs and real life experience in Ottawa. I will never vote for a lawyer or an accountant because they are only there to perpetuate job security for their respective occupations.

Mr. Trudeau, this is our last chance to push back against fascism. As leader of the Liberal Party, you need to put the interests of Canadians ahead of your party if you care about the future of your children.

We can’t afford to fool around in the upcoming election. As the Harper Regime becomes more tyrannical and more fascist, this may be our last chance.

 

Rob Nicholson, please…just leave.

Mr. Robert Nicholson, M.P.

House of Commons

Dear Mr. Nicholson:

I am writing again to respectfully request your immediate resignation. Or at least your assurance that, like many of your colleagues, you will not seek re-election.

As a conservative, I find the policies of the Harper Regime, and yours personally, to be abhorrent.

Your regime has increased our national debt by over $200-billion. Your regime brought back structural deficits which should have been a distant memory after Paul Martin left office. Worse than that, you have implemented an incremental police state under the guise of “bullying” and “child pornography.” Your regime has been an active participant in the fraudulent U.S. War of Terror and has attempt to deceive Canadians with false flags. You have been a cheerleader for war crimes and apartheid in the middle east and presumed to do so in my name.

As last night’s provincial election results showed, Ontarians are in no mood for corporate fascism. It is beyond belief that despite the corruption, incompetence, mismanagement and outright criminality of the provincial Liberal government, voters still found that to be a better alternative than the “Conservative” candidate offered us.

For the past two years, I have been calling on the provincial P.C. Party to replace Hudak with a qualified leader. My own preference would have been Mr. Hillier. Since the P.C. leadership chose to put the interests of its own executives (including its leader) above the best interests of the party and the province, a fascist from Wal-Mart was allowed to lead the party to disaster.

I would appeal to the Conservative Party of Canada to avoid a similar fate. The only way your Regime has a hope of being legitimately re-elected is for yourself and all of your cabinet colleagues, as well as Mr. Harper himself, to resign. Your party (and formerly my party as well) must then call an emergency convention and elect a new leader who can ditch the Harper baggage and begin engaging with Canadians.

As a lifelong conservative voter (excepting the past five years, in which I have voted independent), I cannot and will not vote for you or your regime. There is currently nothing conservative about the Conservative Party.

A decade after the fact, I very much regret: a) the fact that Paul Martin could not be elected with a majority government and; b) not voting for a Martin-led Liberal candidate. The Chretien / Martin Liberals were the only government that came close to giving me what I was looking for in a Conservative government. Unfortunately, I just didn’t know it at the time.

Should you choose to run in the next election, I can only hope, for the constitutional safety of the entire country, that the Liberal Party is capable of finding someone more capable than a rich-kid lawyer from Niagara-on-the-Lake to run against you.

P.S.: To answer your latest survey: “Who’s (sic) on the right track to support jobs, growth and long-term prosperity?” My answer: NONE OF THE ABOVE. When you repudiate the one-way trade deals with China, bring back countervailing duties and the factories re-open, get back to me. Until then, I don’t want to hear from you or anyone else. The current economic model is a fantasy.
