Is Harper a Francophile now? Is that the latest
conspiracy theory?

And haters gonna hate.

I am not a big fan of Harper, but I am astonished
at some of the things that are said, and the outlandish
accusations which people toss at him with a straight face.

I think if Stephen Harper found the cure to cancer, here
on AvCan we would hear that Harper is the sole cause
of Earth's overpopulation problem :lol:

Some Harper quotes while in opposition:

Stephen Harper - “Canadians are counting on you to give them a clean, honest government. We need an accountable government.”

Stephen Harper - “It's all part of the pattern. This is a story of scandal and corruption, investigations, refusals to take responsibility. If this government continues in office, this will continue.”

Stephen Harper - “How can we continue to prop up a government that is under criminal investigation”

Stephen Harper - “If the Liberals are re-elected, this is what Canadians can look forward to, a government pre-occupied with ongoing scandals, corruption and police investigations.”

Stephen Harper - “Is it a nudge A wink Precisely what kind of sign is the government looking for”

Stephen Harper - “Cleaning up government begins at the top.”

Stephen Harper - “Why is the government not suing the Liberal party to recover the money that was lost or stolen”

Stephen Harper - “Restoring accountability will be one of the major priorities of our new government.”

Stephen Harper - “High-ranking Liberals cynically manipulated the sponsorship program to enrich their party and their friends, ... The Liberals are still in office no Liberal is still in jail. Political accountability will have to rest with the voters.”

Stephen Harper - “We can win because it is time for a change, time to move forward, time to get beyond the scandals and investigations and corruption.”

Stephen Harper - “On Jan. 23, you will finally be able to hold the Liberals accountable accountable for stealing your money, accountable for breaking your trust and accountable for failing to deliver on your priorities,”

Stephen Harper - “We will honor your trust, we will deliver on our commitments.”

Stephen Harper - “Restoring accountability will be one of the major priorities of our new government. Accountability is what ordinary Canadians, working Canadians, those people who pay their bills, pay their taxes, expect from their political leaders.”

Stephen Harper - “A culture of waste, mismanagement and corruption is not going to fix itself,”

Stephen Harper - “We need that change to replace the culture of entitlement with a culture of accountability,”

Stephen Harper - “This culture of waste, management and corruption that the Liberal Party practices needs to end. I don't think it's going to end with a few firings. I think it's only going to end when we fire the government.”

Stephen Harper - “Can the prime minister tell us why this Liberal culture of waste and scandal is only stopped once it is actually exposed publicly”

Stephen Harper - “This is not just the end of a tired, directionless scandal-clad government. It's the start of a bright new future for our country,”

Stephen Harper - “I can assure the Canadian public that the Conservative Party, having been out of office for most of the last 100 years, doesn't think it has a divine right to rule, and we're certainly going to listen to what other parties have to say.”

Stephen Harper - “This election is about choice A government plagued by scandal, that is only in it for what it can take, or our new team, who want in to public office for what it can give.”

Stephen Harper - “People who are in cabinet have more responsibility, but everyone in caucus, every elected member of this caucus, has equal power.”

Stephen Harper - “Following a raucous session of Parliament in Ottawa, Stephen Harper, the leader of the opposition Conservative Party, demanded the resignation. We have in office a corrupt party which now is ignoring the democratically expressed will of the House of Commons, ... This government does not have the moral authority and the constitutional authority to govern.”




Find a cure for cancer? I don't think so.

Those aren't mutually exclusive terms. Maybe Clifford Olson or Paul Bernardo got Inmate of the Month in Kingston Penitentiary. :rolleyes:

Again, yuuuuuuuuuup. :)

Amazing to me how this thread devolved into a "bash Harper" thread due to new paint in RCAF colours. Like it or not, blue is right there along with red and white.

Not surprising at all Flybabe ...... there is a sizable "group culture" here who look to manufacture anything that will poke fun at, or diminish the accomplishments of the Prime Minister. Undoing the damage done by decades of Liberals while still maintaining sufficient popularity to remain successful at the ballot box is a tricky balance requiring considerable resilience, confidence, and a thick skin which some interpret to be arrogance.

Something as simple as an aircraft done in traditional RCAF colours paint job turning into a political maelstrom is a prime example of taking something miniscule and attempting to make it appear significant.

That's what you do when you have nothing else, but in this case it's just another twig on a bonfire.

From the Huffington Post link

For now, Airbus 01 is scheduled to go in for a new paint job in the summer of 2013. Although two or three sketches have been finalized, Harper has yet to approve a design.

I like this one better. Much better all round design, the Flag should be on the tail. The coat of arms on the engine nacelle looks great.

Haha. Those bloody Liberals, making the Canadian flag look like a party logo from the future.

That is nicer. More prominent use of the Canada logo, which is oddly absent from the design they went with.

About a grand total of sixty three point five four seconds since I installed this new "google" thing on my computer.

edit: On topic. While the colors are Ok, I do have to say I'm not a fan of the swoopy curvy designs that are on airplanes these days, I prefer straight lines and gemetric patterns. Any curved lines should be limited to those necessary to form the shark's mouth.
