Partisan to the bone

Thanks to Jane Taber and CTV, Joe Cressy is out of the closet. Yep – he is an environmentalist. I am sure God will spite him for the way he chooses to live his life. With every protest his Marley chain, partially sunk in the boiling tar sands of hell, is getting longer and longer.

There is some debate, about whether you can be partisan and an activist. Let see, a quick blog search suggests Joe works for those environmental heathens, the Polaris Institute, and he sits on the executive of the Ottawa Centre NDP Riding Association. Clearly, the Polaris Institute is some sort of cover for pro-NDP activities. An audit of there books will reveal that this nefarious group is funded by the NDP, possibly out of Jack Layton’s own pocket. After all, a party that fights for the underprivileged clearly has rich backers. And to be as high as 17% in the polls, such a party must have a vast network of think tanks that disseminate their socialist agenda. Socialism died with the USSR - how can the NDP still exist but for the deep pockets of certain benefacters trying to force their social justice views on an unwilling mass?

Clearly, this just shows how underhanded the NDP is. Other parties simply give their staffers a ten-minute break to go and protest. On the other hand, the NDP is transparent and admits to their underhandedness.

Asked Karl Belanger, press secretary to Jack Layton, about suggestions that the NDP was associated with yesterday’s protest. His response.

Ya, that’s right. We organized a protest to interrupt our Leader
during his question. Clearly, it was a socialist plot from the NDP.

Only through partisans eyes is an individual only a partisan hack, and not an individual of various interests.

UPDATE:

Apparently nefarious political ties underlie everything. Or it is simply a red herring. The Conservatives are using the NDP's-directing-mind story as a means to distract from the real story - 6 weeks to Copenhagen, and we a commitments and strategy to move on the issue of climate change.

Correction - Yesterday I incorrectly referred to Cressy being with the Pembina Institute. This is not the case, and I have been slapped around accordingly (see comments). I will donate all proceeds from this blog to those upstanding non-partisan organizations - Navigator (see G&M post linked directly above) and Strategic Council. With Peter Donolo gone back to the Liberals, who will provide non-partisan and objective views on the polling numbers that appear in the Globe?
