NDP Crimes Revealed

The NDP made Stephen Harper shave his moustache.

Ah, Stephen Harper, Canada’s Conservative  Party Prime Minister and  megalomaniacal control freak and increasingly tin-pot dictatorish tea-partier! He’s really outdone himself this time. His latest gaffe was to declare in the House of Commons that the opposition, New Democratic Party (a left leaning bunch) was opposed to Canada joining World War Two against Hitler. Of course, the New Democratic Party didn’t even exist in the late thirties! The National Post reported:

NDP MPs gently reminded Harper from across the aisle that the NDP didn’t come into existence until 1961, birthed by a union between the socialist Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the Canadian Labour Congress.

“CCF, NDP, same difference,” Harper responded curtly.

“I guess we can start talking about Reform Party policies,” Mulcair replied, to the delight of the opposition benches.

[The current Conservative Party is a schnozzle of the old Tory party and the right wing "Reform" party].

And the CCF Party was NOT in favour of Hitler or against fighting the Germans. Rather, it was ONLY the party leader  who, for reasons of being a pacifist, voted against war. Every other CCF member of parliament voted for joining the war.

It is true that Mr. Woodsworth, leader at the time of the CCF, the party that would become the NDP some 22 years later, opposed Canada’s involvement in the war. Mr. Woodsworth was a pacifist. But he was also the only member of the CCF to oppose the declaration of war. Indeed, he was the only MP in the entire House of Commons who opposed the motion. Major James Coldwell, who would soon thereafter succeed Mr. Woodsworth as leader of the CCF, supported the declaration.  (quote from Aaron Wherry, MacLean’s magazine).

Tea, anyone?

Now, the continuing silliness from the “Harper Government” (in which other Tories are toeing the PM’s historical claims) is all good fun, but the funnest bit is that the NDP are guilty of SO MUCH MORE! Twitter is a twitting with all sorts of newly revealed truths about NDP wickedness [#HarperHistory]. For example:

The leader of the NDP couldn’t even be bothered to stop the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

The NDP refused to come to the aid of men when Mordor invaded Gondor.
