Hypocritical much?

It's disappointing to hear - Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MP Bill Casey says he will vote again Bill C-52. He says he's not in favour of forcing Nova Scotia to choose between the Atlantic Accord and the new equalization formua, but he's going to vote against it anyway!!! Why? It's not like he's a cabinet minister...or maybe he's waiting to become one? I know it's hard to stand up to Stephen Harper, he has a reputation for being a complete jerk, but c'mon. I hope Rick tries to get Bill on the show so he can explain this seemingly very hypocritical stance.


Any thoughts about Ross Haynes? I thought he and Rick had a great discussion about a bunch of different issues, especially disillusion with the Harper government. The first article about the possible resurgence in the Reform party was in Saturday's Globe and Mail. A caller talked to me off air and said their focus is on the fiscal side of things, not on the social. They think the Harper Conservatives are spending even more than the former Liberal government did and they aren't happy about it. Now a new Reform party would be very interesting. It would be great to see the old school, Preston Manning, possibly taking on the new school, Stephen Harper! The Globe article is very interesting - here's the link:

I agree 100 % with the David Emerson line in the article. I couldn't believe the hypocrisy of Harper's decision and the fact that he was so small, as he had to have retribution in some way because of Belinda Stronach's decision.

If you were interested in Civitas - here's another link to read more about it too:

Again, Rick was lambasted over his stance about what went down at Lockview High. I wonder if this debate will ever fade!! Rick's pretty firm on this on, but keep calling - maybe someone can get him to change his mind!

A little excitement this morning when one of the listeners called and told us there were fighter jets at the airport! Turns out there were 3 British R.A.F. jets and a tanker. One of the jets had to get a little non-emergency maintenance done at the airport and then they took off. No drama, for once.

An all open show set for tomorrow and they on Thursday, two of the most rambunctious men in radio - Al Hollingsworth and Pat Connelly! Rick, Al and Paul will be talking about the "good old days" in Metro Halifax. That should be a lot of fun!

Hope you enjoyed the sun this morning - it looks like we won't be seeing it again until next week!

Have a good one,

Amber

Good Evening.

In response to Mr Casey's recent comments, we should be surprised? At the end of the day all you have is your word, need I say any more.

As for the Conservatives fighting with the reform are they not in fact one of the same.

I am looking forward to what you and Rick have to say tomorrow about Rodney's recent comment's on ATV tonight. In response to his comments over the last two months 900 Plus good Paying full time Jobs have left the Province, and in December another 600 are scheduled to Leave. Unfortunatley he has been silent on that particular issue, Again one can only wonder why?

I would be interested to know what he is planning on doing. To replace the 1500 plus Jobs not to mention the tax Money that have and will be leaving the Province.

Thank you.

Good evening Amber.
Rick asked me this am if I was able to pick you up. if the streaming had been corrected.
What I have noticed is I have to go through your blog to get the station. During the evenings and nights when I am at the computer and listening to CJCH there never seems to be any interruptions. Semms to be mainly when Rick comes on. Could be the white socks. Please tell me he doesn't wear them with sandles.LOL.

Politicans are all pretty much hypocrital. They not mean to be, but once the political party they have chosen gets their claws into them, and they like it, they then will do as the party leaders and beaurcrats tell them .
Same as Civil Servants and Public Servants. Once they get that job with the governments , they are told to keep their mouths shut and do as they are told. If not then they loose their jobs and all the "Entitlements"

Same as these "spin doctors" "communication advisers"
"Propaganda Managers" or as one likes to refer to himself as a "nurse-practioneer", who are the civil servants or beaurcrats who try to control the press. The media when covering an event are always told by the co-ordinator of the press release, exactly what it is they can quote in the newspapers.
Therefore they do have control of the media to some point. After all, most of these "Communication Advisers" are from the media world.

The quickest way to elimate the competition is to , hire it.

I always get a chuckle when I hear guys like Rick and others talking about the Freemasons. Like it is a cult.
But it isn't. It has a very interesting history.
One of the mysteries of life.

I'm a Mason and proud of it. My father is a Mason as well. All Shriners are Masons.
As in the Freemasons Hospital for Sick Children in Montreal.

Great work done by Freemasons.

In through the USA Freemasons is big. You can check this out but it is my understanding that all Presidents sworn into office take the oath with their left hand on a Freemason's bible. Interesting.
Watch National Treasure sometime.
