It seems that the Harper new Tories are sadly in need of a geography lesson about the limits of Canada's electoral districts.

As if it is not bad enough that Harper is trying to apply his own personal brand to our government through his "Harper Government" nonsense, but now Harper's party seems to have unilaterally changed the electoral boundaries of the 308 districts we have

The Conservative mantra is that Canadians do not want an election now.
No matter where you turn, the Harper new Tory 'talking points' are rigidly adhered to, no matter what the topic might be:

The recent spate of information dealing with the Conservatives being charged with fraud with respect to the In and Out election expenses has lead to an interesting question:
Does our prime minister understand what a fraudulent act is?
Hat tip to Greg Weston of CBC News for his March 1 report of what happened.

Lawrence Martin in Tuesday's Globe & Mail has this to say about Harper and his party:
The government’s arc of duplicity is remarkable to behold. And there are more revelations to come.
And Martin summarizes it this way:
During the Chrétien government years, I reported extensively on malfeasance by the Liberals. To do the math on the Harper government is to conclude that, while it has no sponsorship scandal on its books, it’s already surpassed its predecessor on a range of other abuse-of-power indices.
Martin's article is a must read for all those interested in just how many cases of duplicity Harper and his party are guilty of.

And what does he do? In his words (November 2009 interview with The Sunday Times of London):

And now the SEC has laid a civil charge of fraud against Goldman Sachs for structuring a deal for one client, being paid a fee, selling derivative instruments to other clients, and having the first client bet that the derivatives will fail.
Let's start at the beginning.
Just who is Goldman Sachs?
This is The Sunday Times journalist's description of the venerable US investment bank, based at 85 Broad Street, New York:

Because of three letters: MYM.
That stands for Move Your Money.
And that stands for a citizens' protest movement in the USA that is snowballing, and gathering supporters who feel that the powers that be have failed ordinary Americans by not handling the banking crisis correctly, allowing the fat cats to start paying monstrous bonuses again, and simply disregarding common sense and ordinary virtues, such as punish the guilty, not the innocent (taxpayers).
