Ex-Pakistani fighter pilot Wajid Khan, l, announces his defection to Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government from the Liberal Party.Story here. h/t: National Newswatch
The ex-Pakistani fighter pilot-turned successful Canadian businessman, Wajid Khan, who last August, following the arrests of the 17 suspected Islamic jihadists in Toronto, volunteered his help on Middle-Eastern-related matters to Stephen Harper's Conservative government, has defected to the Conservatives from the Liberals, no longer finding the Liberal Party acceptable to him, nor representing his values.
(All emphasis mine)
"The best leader for Canada is the man who now has the job, Mr. Harper,"(...)"When I'm given a choice ... between a political party and my country, I will always choose Canada and that's why I chose the Conservative government," said Khan.
Poor, delusional, hapless, Liberal Leader Stephane Dion, however, had claimed just prior to the defection that Mr. Khan would not defect, that he was a "loyal Liberal".
Well, I'm glad that Mr. Khan chose loyalty to Canada over loyalty to a political party and made the right move in joining the Conservatives, who have demonstrated that it is they, not the Liberals, who stand up for Canada. It is also perfectly clear that the Conservative Party is the REAL party of diversity, openness and tolerance, not the Liberal Party, which is now suffering from statements to the media from minorities that they only use minorities mostly as "tokens", as good political optics for getting votes, particularly in big cities like Toronto, which Mr. Khan represents. The Liberals are suffering from rightful statements that they promote mostly white, Canadian-born people to Cabinet. No longer can the Liberal Party of Canada credibly market itself as the "Party of Diversity and ToleranceTM". That myth has finally been placed six feet under and covered... with cement.
Oh, my... this must be the most devastating blow to the LPC since ADSCAM broke through in the news, including in the Liberal-loyalist MSM, with damaging testimony given such as that of Myriam Bedard, who appears to have recently been made the victim of Liberal State Apparatus revenge as far as I'm concerned.
And, in another indication of the growing relevance and influence of the bloggers, Conservative Party pundit Stephen Taylor is given credit for being the first media outlet to break this story:
On Thursday, Conservative blogger Stephen Taylor fuelled speculation about the defection by posting a report that Khan would join the Tories(...)
Good work, Stephen! Hat's off to you! Yahoo! News has named you!
During his time as an adviser to the government, Khan said he felt the Liberal party seemed to be out of step with his ideas for foreign policy and family values.
What do Liberals/leftists have against family values? Why do Liberals/leftists sneer when speaking the words "family values", as if those are bad words representing something bad?
Don't Liberals/leftists believe that family is a good thing? Don't they understand that family is the very foundation of the Free World?
Why do Liberals/leftists hate family values? What on earth could be so threatening about family and the values that stem from the concept of family? I guess we'll never know. Because they never say. They just sneer.
For the Liberals, it's clear that the Party's over. Now they have no choice but to either scrap their party and rebuild from the soil upwards or pray for a miracle (oh, wait! they don't believe in that sort of thing; too bad-- talk about your "godless liberals", eh?).
But never mind about the Liberals.
Stephen Harper, Wajid Khan and the whole Conservative government need our full support to do the job they've been ordered to do by the people who elected them. And we must ensure they have our full support in the next election as well!
Stand up for freedom, democracy and the rule of law!
Stand up for the Free World!
Stand up for Canada!
