Is Belinduh executing a Trojan Horse Strategy?

I've just learned from a usually reliable source, close to all things Liberal, that Belinduh has already locked up her campaign strategy expecting a Lois Brown victory. That in fact, there is even postulation that Belinduh may have had her people join the Conservatives so that they could vote for Lois.

Didn't Belinduh allegedly stack the vote once before during her Conservative nomination against Lois? Did Lois not lodge a complaint with Elections Canada? So this bit of news is not out of the realm of possibility.

Apparently Belinduh already knows about Kirk as well. Interesting that she would like to see a Lois Brown victory! Belinduh already has a successful track record against her and has no reason to feel threatened by Lois' candidacy. On the other hand, Kirk is an unknown commodity who has the potential to rain all over Belinduhs anticipated coronation.

On his website Kirk asked a very important question. Allow me to paraphrase it. Why is it that Beliduh could cross the floor in the midst of one of the biggest scandals which this country has ever seen, join the Liberal party and then not only win the riding, but raise the Liberal vote by over 6,000 while Lois was only able to manage to raise the Conservative vote by a little over 500? Belinduh is confident because she knows that all she will get from Lois is the Same Old and she has beaten that twice. I'm not so sure that she would know what to do with NOT THE SAME OLD SAME OLD!

Although it is obvious that I support Kirk West's candidacy over Lois Brown's, I am nevertheless a Conservative, albeit a Cantankerous one. When I hear about the possibility of Belinduh hitting below the belt ( a couple of kockey players know all about that) my blood begins to boil. So I'm asking if anyone out there knows or has more information in this regard. Lois Brown deserves to know!!!!

One thing that I know for sure .... if Belinduh butts heads with Kirk she'll lose her crown and be fit to be TIEd!

One of Lois Brown's purported Supporters is 3 Fries Short of a Happy Meal!

On Feb 16/07, I posted a comment on www.kirkwest.blogspot.com in response to a series of posts by someone who purportedly is a Lois Brown supporter. Lois and at least one of her supporters (if that's what he or she really is) sure do make strange bedfellows! Thought you might enjoy it.

Curious, I have read all of Kirk's Blogs pertaining to Lois Brown's ONCE AGAIN Conservative nomination bid for Newmarket/Aurora (it's becoming as predictable as ground hog day) ... and I can't seem to find any mud which has been flung. Perhaps you could show us a scoop or two so that we would know what it looks like.

As a matter of fact, the only mud which I find is caked to your own slingshot. Here are excerpts from your recent comment posts to Kirk's Blog;

1. "Lois Brown failed to bring her spine with her last night, and consequently lost a lot of repect from her core supporters." posted 2/11/2007
2. "Lois is quite a force to be reckoned with, at least among Conservatives." posted 2/12/2007
3. "I can agree with most of her views, but she succumbs to political correctness and tries to steer clear of controversy. Unfortunately this behaviour would probably make her a very ineffective M.P. posted 2/12/2007
4. "People are tired of career politicians. They want someone with character that will stand up when it's time to take a stand. For now the best choice is still Lois. posted 2/12/2007

So let me understand you ... Lois has lost her spine before ... which cost her a lot of respect ... but she's still a force to be reckoned with among Conservatives ... although she succumbs to political correctness and tries to steer clear of controversy ... which will probably make her an ineffective M.P. ... but since people want someone with character that will stand-up when it's time to take a stand ... Lois, despite having no spine, a focus on political correctness and wanting to avoid controversy, for now is the best choice. Did I get that right?

Anonymous ... with looney Liberal logic like that .... are you in fact Belinduh Stronach?

Addendum: Anonymous may not be a supporter at all!

Has Lois Brown Stepped Into It Again?

Here we go again with another one. Another allegation was posted by Anonymous to my Kirk West vs Lois Brown blog alleging impropriety by Lois Brown and the Newmarket/Aurora Conservative Riding Association.

The "nub" of the post was that Lois Brown was given preferential access to the riding's membership list, as far back as last year, under the guise of renewing lapsed memberships. At the time the membership list was given to Lois, the riding association knew full well that Lois was going to be seeking the Conservative nomination ..... AGAIN.....for the association is overwhelmingly composed of Lois Brown supporters and sympathizers.

Did Lois use this list to an unfair advantage? Did she use it to get a head-start on Kirk in signing-up memberships? We'll never know ... but an audit by the Conservative Party would!

Kirk West, on the other hand, was never offered the same opportunity as Lois to resign "lapsed members." .... this was a privelage seemingly bestowed exclusively upon Lois Brown who was known by all to be running again .... oh no, I'm starting to get visions of an Alliance Party nomination vote all those many years ago.

Kirk received his copy of the membership list a scant 2 weeks ago ... let me repeat that ...a scant TWO WEEKS ago. WHY?

Listen folks, I really don't want to belabour this point. Here's all that I really want to know.
IS IT ALL TRUE? IS SOME OF IT TRUE? IS NONE OF IT TRUE?

Arise Blogosphere and let the truth be known to all !!!!

The S_ _ t just Hit the Fan in Newmarket/Aurora!

It all started when I received a comment from Diane, who identified herself as a friend and neighbour of Lois Brown, asking whether it was true that Kirk West had contested and then lost the former Alliance Party nomination race for Newmarket/Aurora to Lois Brown.

Fair question. But because I was unaware that such a race had taken place, my response was that I did not know but I would find out.

Subsequently I received a rather lengthy comment from a person who identified themselves as Val Zans claiming to have been in attedance at that nomination meeting and vote, and then went on to list a litany of stunning and very disturbing allegations. There were 12 in all, but I will list just a few. If you are interested in reading the original comment you will find it in the Kirk West vs Lois Brown blog.

Here are the pertinent points;

1. Lois greeted delegates at the front door and told them that they could vote before the candidates made their presentations and that they did not have to stay.
2. Some of the former executive of the Alliance riding association were in the foyer and were witness to Lois' actions yet took no action to stop her.
3. After the votes were tabulated and Lois Brown declared the winner, the actual VOTE COUNT WAS NEVER MADE PUBLIC. It wasn't announced that night ...it wasn't announced at a later date ... it was never published.
4. Up until today, whenever Kirk has asked those who were privy to the election results ...what those final counts were ... HE HAS NEVER BEEN GIVEN AN ANSWER!

Subsequently I received a comment from Hucksbud confirming every single allegation made by Val Zans. You can also read Hucksbud's comment on my Kirk West vs Lois Brown blog.

Val Zans went on to finish his comments in this way. "Isn't it interesting that in 2006 when Lois wanted to take another run at Belinda Stronach, she made a phone call to Kirk asking him not to contest the nomination". "Obviously she was worried about the possibility of running. Could it be that Kirk had already beaten her once those many years ago?"

"I think that you should know that Kirk showed absolute class in honouring Lois' request and went to join her team in an effort to defeat Belinda."

"As I watch with interest as Lois and Kirk are contestants once again, it is remarkable how far Kirk has come in such a short period of time." "He most certanly is NOT THE SAME OLD SAME OLD ... Lois Brown STILL IS!" And because she still is, I ask the Conservative Party put in place vote-count safeguards and make the RESULTS OF THIS NOMINATION VOTE TRANSPARENT so that there is not even a hint of impropriety."

Google Kirk West and Lois Brown

On March 5, 2007 either Kirk West or Lois Brown will be selected as the Conservative candidate for the federal riding of Newmarket/Aurora. If you Google both candidates, here are the hits which you will find in the first 25 pages.

LOIS BROWN

1. www.loisbrown.ca - her official campaign website. It's static, non-interactive. Lois basically talks about herself for almost 8 web pages.
2. Lois Brown Bio - Wikipedia
3. Lois Brown Bio - www.conservative.ca (Conservative Party website)
4. Lois Brown Bio - www.ctv.ca
5. Lois Brown's 2004 Conservative nomination defeat to Belinda Stronach - www.canadawebpages.ca
6. Lois Brown's defeat to Belinda Stronach in the 2006/01/23 General Election - www.webinfo.parl.gc.ca

Not the most sparkling of political CV's. Lois Brown has been vigorously seeking election since 2003, and during these past 4 years, Google does not show a single speech, a single opinion piece, not one single blog, media interview, nor comments on issues of any kind attributable to Lois. Nor does it show other pundits, bloggers or journalists writing about Lois.

KIRK WEST

1. www.kirkwest.ca official campaign website - totally interactive with streaming videos and podcasts. Kirk talks about the issues, his 3 commitments to the people of Newmarket/Aurora and introduces his Personal Pledge of Accountability - this is a political first, not to be found in any other political system anywhere else in the world. It's quite a ground-breaking and dynamic concept from this very creative and remarkable young man from Newmarket. If every single candidate were mandated to offer their own personal pledge, it would radically change the face of Canadian politics forever.
2. www.kirksblog.blogspot.com - approximately 60 insightful blogs on the issues of the day over a 7 month period.
3. www.torontotories.blogspot.com - featuring and reprinting of an excerpt from Kirk's blog rebutting Darien Baxter, with a RECOMMENDED READ from this blog.
4. www.kirkwest.ca - details of Conservative candidate nomination meeting.
5. Kirks Blog - debates Dion's leadership.
6. www.wikio.com - RECOMMENDS READING of one of Kirk's blog's.
7. www.freedominion.ca - Kirk's blog is listed as "Blogs FDers Like.

It's time to throw out all of the mumbo-jumbo, smoke and mirrors along with all of the trite Lois Brown political speak. Google clearly and impartially illustrates some of the substantial differences between the Same Old Lois, and the Not the Same Old Same Old Kirk West.

I hope that this time around, the Conservatives of Newmarket/Aurora, who have traditionally not become involved in the process, for a myriad of reasons, will take the time to attend the Nomination meeting on March 5/07 to listen very carefully to what Kirk has to say.

I would also encourage those who may have decided to support Lois solely on the basis of her community involvement to give pause, and to listen with understanding to the tremendous potential that Kirk can bring to the quality of their lives.

Memo to: Lois Brown

Dear Lois,

My grandfather once told me; "Son you are what you think, and not what you think you are!"

Your new website is a wonderful illustration of his advice to me so many years ago. Seems that you think a lot about yourself .... almost 8 web pages worth.

Oh by the way, don't forget to attend the Strawberry and Cream Social on February 25 at Del's Chicken Shack, home of the world famous $2.99 Big Chick Dinner Pack!

PS:

If you are interested in learning more about someone who really cares about representing the people of Newmarket/Aurora with the respect which they deserve visit; www.kirkwest.ca
This young man, who is also seeking the Conservative nomination, is as innovative as they come and is light years ahead of you, and I would say, most others already elected and serving in Ottawa.

His campaign slogan of Not The Same Old Same Old is not only brilliant but right on the mark!!! Check out his streaming videos, podcasts and blog. But then again I know that you already have. Deep Nose, my mole within the riding association tells me that you are more than a little nervous. Oh my!

Surprise ... Lois Brown is Running Again!

You know that the Conservatives are having another nomination race in Newmarket /Aurora
because Lois Brown is a nomination candidate again. In the words of the inimitable Wicked Mr. Wilson Pickett ..."Good God Y'all!"

Now I don't know Ms. Brown personally. I've never taken the opportunity to meet her. My only knowledge of her is that of her consistent losing track record to Belinduh and seeing her at the odd event which I would attend. It's quite interesting to watch her dash around shaking hands, grinning from ear to ear while asking for the support of anyone and everyone whom she meets. It's not unlike watching a feeding frenzy. But that doesn't bother me, for this has been the way of many other politicians ... I simply find it amusing to observe.

Over the years I have come to believe that Ms. Browns political philosophy is a route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing. And so she has managed to gradually worm her way out of my confidence.

That opinion has now been further reinforced when I visited her new website at www.loisbrown.ca If you navigate to her On The Issues page Ms. Brown states; "I am launching this page with answers to the two questions I am asked most often;
(1) What, if anything has changed since the last election to help us win a Conservative seat for Newmarket-Aurora?
(2) What have you been doing since the 2006 election?"

Now let me understand this! While according to every major poll, the top issues which Canadians are talking about,as of February 2007 are; the Environment, Health Care and the Afghanistan mission, Ms. Brown would have us believe that in the riding of Newmarket Aurora, the two most often asked questions are the two appearing on her official nomination website? Smells an awful lot like something coming out of the south end of a donkey which is facing north.
