I came across this post, “Confidence schmonfidence... it's just brinksmanship” by the Take off, eh? blog on the liblogs.ca website. It was in response to a challenge Prime Minister Stephen Harper made to the opposition parties if they voted in favour of the throne speech, but opposed implementation of the policies outlined in it , that it could trigger an election. This is because the vote on each policy would be considered a confidence vote.
What was interesting was that it contained the common myths spread by the left about Conservatives, which could not be further from the truth. For the longest time it was a successful tactic, but now thankfully more Canadians are seeing it for what it is. Just propaganda!
Here they are:
- The Conservatives don't support women
- They don't support native Canadians.
- They don't support Eastern Canada.
- They don't care much for Ontario, or rather the GTA
- They don't really care for anyone who invested in income trusts
- They don't really give a rats ass about climate change (even now as they feign belief in it)

The Liberals are running scared, so they are resorting to smear tactics.
Just for the record...
I'm a Conservative that doesn't give a rat's ass about climate change.
I don't think it is man-made...and I don't believe man can change it.
In the 70's it was easy...
blame the Russians
The apprehension that many Canadians had for Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative party, while they were in opposition, has largely been dissipated. The Liberal smear tactics that were used to successfully demonize Stockwell Day in 2000 and PMSH in 2004, no longer has the same effect.
