(CANADA) Harper claims Chretien stacked the courts
http://209.47.1.199/infomart/20030905/2/20030905.001.37.html

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Jean Chretien has stacked the courts with sympathetic judges as part of a long-standing secret plan to legalize same-sex marriages, Canadian Alliance Leader Stephen Harper said Thursday.

In an angry attack against the government's passive reaction to court rulings in B.C. and Ontario that recognized gay marriages, Harper also accused the government of deliberately losing the court cases and choosing not to appeal because of Chretien's desire to promote same-sex unions.

Harper made the statements even though most of the judges involved in the decisions were named to their provincial superior courts by the former Conservative government of Brian Mulroney. One of the judges, Ontario Court of Appeal Chief Justice Roy McMurtry, is a former Ontario Conservative attorney general.


Lemme get this straight. The sole purpose for putting these judges in place was a conspiracy to legalize same-sex marriage? Let's look at this like a detective.

Motive:

Marriage - Chretien is already married.
Gay - Chretien is straight (he doesn't even trigger my gaydar and I've met him several times)
Money - there's no money in it
Reelection - Liberals win by landslides, he doesn't need the 5% gay vote

Opportunity - Mulroney did it. Chretien wasn't in power.

Evidence - none

Geez and they call me a :tinfoilhat:.

1. Good old Harper
His party is finished anyway, it could have been so much more, but all the better for sane people.

3. For my 1000th post I would like to Commend...
Prime Minister Chretien for his magnificent tenure as PM! He is what a Liberal should be!!! He represents the best of his party and his great nation!

I do not think that Mr. Harper can be blamed for the fall of his party (Canadian Alliance). After all Canadians are very intelligent people and they see the Canadian Alliance for what they are, that is: "Hard Right Wing Reactionary, Bigoted, Xenophobic, war mongering weiners"!!!!!! And Canadians really do not want that at all!!!

Get Em' Chretien!!!
