Rep. Allen West: Oh how I long for more leaders like this!
Allen West is the kind of leader America needs. He's the kind of leader every nation ought to have. A man who comprehends what Rights and Freedoms mean and where they come from. For those who believe America must have a black president, Allen West fits the bill. He's a REAL black man, not a half-black wannabe like the current occupant of the White House. For those who … [Read more...]
Ted Morton, the destroyer of Albertans’ Property Rights, is booted from the Alberta Legislature
In what ultimately became one of the few bright spots on Election Night for Danielle Smith and the Wildrose Party, Ted Morton lost his seat in the Alberta Legislature. It was with great relish that I took in the news that Bruce McAllister had unseated the wannabe tyrant Ted Morton in the riding of Chestermere-Rocky View. This is significant because Ted Morton was the … [Read more...]
Alison Redford: Just the same old political payoffs, not the “renewed party” she claims
Alison Redford will say anything to get elected on Monday. Literally. While she claims that she is the face of a "new Alberta" and the future of hope and change in that province, her actions say quite the opposite. While saying on the one hand she would drop retirement pay for MLAs but in March it was discovered that retiring MLAs are set to walk away from the public … [Read more...]
Danielle Smith’s Speech about the Importance of Monday’s Alberta Provincial Election
[S3AUDIO file='Audio/danielle-smith-the-importance-of-this-election.mp3' authurl='true' autoplay='false' vol='70'] Today I want to talk about the historic choice facing Albertans next Monday. All political leaders talk about the future during election campaigns. It’s our job, to offer a vision of where we want to lead, and how we intend to get there. Our Wildrose party … [Read more...]
Danielle Smith and Wildrose’s “lack of experience” running deficits or voting themselves 30% pay increases…
During the Leadership Debate last week Alison Redford tossed out the fact that Danielle Smith “had no experience” governing a province as though that was somehow a bad thing. It’s a bizarre statement but one that gains traction with the Chateratti across Alberta, since the drive-by media is always quick to parrot Redford’s blathering verbatim, as though it actually meant … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech? Not for Christian Pastors in Alberta…
As the lunatic left tries desperately to find some way of slowing down the Wildrose electoral juggernaut, such bastions of tolerance as Warren Kinsella and the Edmonton Journal have declared that pastors have no right to actually write about what they believe. This is hardly surprising from either source, both of whom believe tolerance should only be applied to their views, … [Read more...]
Danielle Smith’s Unbridled Audacity: Making Alberta Politicians Accountable to Albertans
I’ve got to say… Danielle Smith has a heck of a lot of audacity. Just who does she think she is, anyway? Danielle Smith just put forward the latest plank in her campaign’s election platform that would make Alberta's provincial politicians accountable to the citizens. It’s all contained in her proposed Alberta Accountability Act. It transforms MLAs from being Edmonton’s … [Read more...]
Meet John Martin, the next MLA for the BC riding of Chilliwack-Hope
John Martin is running in the by-election for the riding of Chilliwack-Hope. He is seeking the seat vacated by former MLA Barry Penner, who retired from politics last year. This by-election is considered a "must-win" for British Columbia's unelected premier Christy Clark, who will not face the voters for at least another year. Mr. Martin is hosting two meet-and-greets at … [Read more...]
Ann Coulter is right. Rick Santorum has got to go.
Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum needs to lose the primary race and lose it soon. Any so-called “conservative” candidate who claims big government is a good thing is NOT a conservative. In a recent news report Rick Santorum was quoted as saying in 2008 “to our credit”, he said, the Republican Party has “morphed away from the Goldwater idea that government just … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech? Not if a politician is nearby!
The old saying that “Truth is stranger than fiction” rang through my head as I read the report that the United States Congress had passed a law making it illegal to protest anywhere near a politician. Naturally President Obama signed it into law immediately since, if it should be illegal to protest near any member of the Political Class, obviously that should be the “God of … [Read more...]
Dead People receive ballots to vote in the New Hampshire Primaries?
As bizarre as it sounds, dead people are able to vote in the primaries due to lax rules and no identification requirement. Voter fraud is an ongoing issue in America, to be sure. Helping the problem along are state rules that do NOT require a person to show any identification to prove they are who they claim to be. Evidence of this insanity was documented recently … [Read more...]
Ron Paul at the Iowa Debates for the Republican Leadership Nomination
While Jane and I can sometimes get into debates over various issues and individuals, for the most part we see the world quite similarly... I suppose that's why I call her my "unindicted co-conspirator" when it comes to writing. A lot of what gets written about here on ChristopherDiArmani.com comes out of those discussions and debates between Jane and me. So when I said … [Read more...]
BC public holds corrupt government accountable for their lies and kills HST deal
I've got to say this: I'm proud of my fellow British Columbians today. I'm not going to get into the debate over whether the HST is a good thing or a bad thing for the province. That's been debated enough. What I will get into though, is how awesome it is that here in British Columbia we have done what everyone said was impossible: we held our lying politicians to account … [Read more...]
Baltimore Mayoral Race Brings a New Moron To Light
Baltimore, Maryland is in the midst of a mayoral race. Folks from all walks of life and as evidenced by this news report, all walks of stupidity as well. One candidate for the Baltimore's Big Chair is Otis Rolley. It would appear that he missed out on his allotment of common sense when God created him, and Otis Rolley hasn't managed to pick up any on his way through life, … [Read more...]
Valley Rifle Club writes an Open Letter to Prime Minister Harper
Don Klein is a friend of mine who is very active in Alberta, both on the firearms issue, and on the broader issue of our God-given rights and freedoms. He has written a letter to Prime Minister Harper asking him to keep his many past promises on the Firearms Act, and specifically the amendments it made to the Criminal Code of Canada, sections 91 and 92, which make the mere … [Read more...]
Happy Retirement to some MPs that really needed to go
I've got to be honest... I'm really happy to see some former MPs punted into retirement today. The only thing that tempers my joy at seeing these morons sent packing, is that some of the morons that needed to be retired somehow managed to retain their seats. The MPs I'm referring to here are the NDP Turncoats... the MPs that said they would vote to scrap the registry and … [Read more...]
Breaking News: Michael Ignatieff books ticket back to US
Shocking as it might sound, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is trailing his Conservative challenger in his own riding. Word on the street is that he's already booked a flight out of the country. Sun TV reports the following: Harper is re-elected easily Jack Layton is re-elected easily Michael Ignatieff is trailing by 974 votes with about 50% of the polls … [Read more...]
Today is the day to VOTE, Canada!
If you're enjoying the economic recovery that Canada has been showing recently, and don't want to see it end in the thundering crash of higher taxes and more government spending we can't afford, then get out and vote today Canada! The stakes have never been higher, or the choices more clear. A Jack Layton-led coalition will not be pleasant for anyone but Jack Layton and his … [Read more...]
Jack Layton’s Dirty Laundry aired by Sun TV
Back when Jack Layton was a Toronto city councilor, content to spend GTA cash like it was going out of style, he apparently had an "outside hobby"... or as Jack liked to call it, getting massages. Jack likes Asian women... that's no secret. He's married to Olivia Chow, after all. Unfortunately for both Olivia and for Jack, it appears he likes to step out with young Asian … [Read more...]
Some thoughts on the integrity of our local Candidates
In my local riding I've talked alot about how the local Conservative candidate, Mark Strahl (who I've dubbed The Anointed One) has been Missing In Action for most of the campaign. I'm sure he's been somewhere, it's just that he hasn't ever been where he ought to be for All Candidates Meetings at the various towns throughout the Chilliwack--Fraser Canyon riding. I've also … [Read more...]
Mark Strahl MIA at another All Candidates Meeting
The Anointed One was, once again, Missing In Action at the latest All Candidates Debate held in Chilliwack this past Tuesday evening. For a candidate who was expected by The Party to take over the the riding of Chilliwack -- Fraser Canyon from his father, he's certainly not acting like an MP-to-be. I wonder what he's so afraid of? There must be something or he'd actually … [Read more...]
Jack Layton to Kick Ignatieff’s Butt in Quebec?
The polls and news reports are filled with the notion that Jack Layton will do what Michael Ignatieff cannot... win votes in Quebec. There's even talk that Layton will outperform the Bloc Quebecois on their home soil! Can you imagine that? Quebecers being fed up with a political party whose sole aim is to break up the country? If this is true, then Hallelujah! But … [Read more...]
Michael Ignatieff’s Canadian National Defense Plan
HMCS MIKE IGNATIEFF HMCS Michael Ignatieff set sail today from its home port of Toronto, ON. The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to Michael Ignatieff 'for his foresight in military budget cuts'. The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and is completely … [Read more...]
Chuck… er I mean Mark Strahl missing from All Candidates Meeting
The Anointed One, Mark Strahl, was missing in action at the first All Candidates Meeting in Hope on Tuesday night. The riding of Chilliwack -- Fraser Canyon is the Strahl family's personal fiefdom, or so it appears to more and more residents of this riding. The arrogance with which the younger Strahl is running his campaign is rubbing a lot of former Conservative … [Read more...]
The iPod Tax and the Coalition of Ignatieff, Layton and Duceppe
A $75 tax on anything with a hard drive? Sounds ludicrous, doesn't it. But so did a tax on blank CDRoms back in 1997, and that came true faster than you can say "Liberal-New Democrat-Bloc Coalition". I'll get to Charlie Angus and his proposed iPod Tax in a minute. Most people don't realize any more that the cost of every single blank cdrom (rewritable or not) sold in … [Read more...]

More news about CBC’s Vote Compass and the Liberal Connection
The news about CBC's Vote Compass tool just gets better and better. A few days I wrote about how the tool was allegedly created "to help voters decide" who to vote for in the upcoming federal election. Turns out, as I said in that article, that all they're trying to do is "help voters decide" to vote Liberal. Today some amusing revelations have come out about the man … [Read more...]
And the Vote Compass results are in…. “You’re a Liberal”
How hilarious is that... The CBC (Canada's communist Broadcasting Corporation) released a tool to help voters decide how to vote in the upcoming Canadian federal election. It didn't take long for word to leak out about how flawed the system is... Less than 24 hours. Queen's University political science professor Kathy Brock did some research into the tool, and discovered … [Read more...]
Chuck Strahl’s Coronation of son Mark as Conservative Candidate in Chilliwack — Fraser Valley Riding disgusts me
Let the Political Antics Begin. I live in the riding of Chilliwack-Fraser Valley. It's the third riding the tiny town of Lytton has been a part of in the last five elections... for the last three we've been left in the Chilliwack riding owned by Chuck Strahl. I say "owned" for a reason, as you'll see in a minute. Chuck announced he was not running for re-election a week … [Read more...]
