New Rules In Obama Administration/Peraturan Baru Dalam Pentadbiran Obama.

Today is his 2nd day of his administration.From now until January 20th,2013,I'm keen to see "change" in Washington administration,and the policy not only to the world(which everyone expect for),but to it's neighbor(which I expect even more),and the policy inside United States(which American expect even more).

President Obama yesterday has speak out that "America should not be blame for everything".Here's his quote :-

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.

And to the rest third world countries,he added :-

To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to

unclench your fist.

For those people who always love to blame America as "evil in everything",Obama is telling you that "it's not a right time for create tension between Muslim world and America.I know some people will ask "how about Israel-Palestine" and Afghanistan,or Iraq.Well we don't know what is his stand about Israel-Palestine problems,but looking for sucsess in Oslo Agreement between Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat peace deal,and Clinton's effort in Camp David Agreement,I think peace maybe far from the corner,but at least Democratic Party took more diplomatic action than Republican.

About Afghanistan and Iraq,it's already planned that American soldiers will gradually withdraws from both country until 2011.So,as citizen of the world,we should observe whether this plan were according to the plan--or not.In the economy crisis like this,I guess Barack Obama wants to tight up military spend--just what Clinton did during 1993.Military spending dropped,and mostly spend on creating Internet--it's what Clinton did in 1993.Obama will be more cautious in military,because he got tight budget to control.

Today he already discussed about closing Gitmo Bay Camp,and he is commited to closing it down,according to the plan.

Today he also announced the new rule of lobbying in White House.He puts the limit--which most lobbyist can't give more--because economic crisis.He determine to do this because he didn't want influences from these lobbyist--which actually control White House.By limiting lobbying,government has sufficient power to control the whole nation,not by these lobbyist.

All we have to do is watch is this the better America that we want?All we have to do is wait and see.

Hari ini ialah hari kedua pentadbiran Barack Obama sebagai Presiden AS.Mulai sekarang sehingga 20 Januari,2013,saya berharap mahu melihat "perubahan" yang dijanjikan oleh beliau,polisi yang dijanjikan beliau kepada dunia(seperti kebanyakan kawan-kawan saya harapkan),polisi kepada jirannya(seperti yang saya harapkan) dan polisi kepada Amerika sendiri(seperti yang rakyat Amerika harapkan).

Presiden Obama hari ini menegaskan bahawa "Amerika tidak boleh dipersalahkan sepenuhnya tentang segala masalah dalam dunia".Beliau menegaskan:-

"Kepada dunia Muslim, kami mencari jalan baru untuk ke hadapan, berasaskan kepentingan bersama dan hormati menghormati. Kepada setengah pemimpin di dunia yang ingin menanamkan benih persengketaan, atau menuduh Barat sebagai punca segala kebejatan dalam masyarakat mereka – sedarlah rakyat kamu akan mengadili kamu diatas apa yang kamu bangunkan dan bukan apa yang kamu rosakkan."

Dan kepada dunia ketiga beliau berkata:

"Kepada mereka yang ingin terus berkuasa melalui rasuah dan penipuan dan menutup ruang demokrasi untuk rakyat bersuara, sedarlah bahawa kamu bukan bersama sejarah, tetapi kami akan menghulurkan tangan jika kamu bersedia membuka gengaman kuku besi kamu."

Kepada mereka yang suka menyalahkan Amerika tentang "segala kejahatan yang berlaku dalam dunia",Obama memberitahu anda bahawa "ini bukan masanya untuk mencari ketegangan antara dunia Islam dan Amerika.Saya tahu ada dikalangan kita yang pessimist terhadap kemampuan Obama tentang Israel-Palestin,dan juga Afghanistan dan Iraq.Kita mungkin tidak tahu apa pendiriannya terhadap isu Israel-Palestin,tetapi harus diingat Parti Demokrat yang berusaha dalam perjanjian Oslo antara Yasser Arafat dan Yitzhak Rabin,dan Perjanjian Camp David,mungkin kedamaian terlalu jauh untuk dilihat,tetapi sekurang-kurangnya Parti Demokrat lebih berjaya daripada Republikan.

Tentang Afghanistan dan Iraq,Presiden Obama jelas sekali mahu mengundurkan tenteranya dari kedua-dua negara menjelang 2011,jadi penduduk dunia sekalian,kita harus melihat perjalanan tentang pengunduran tentera ini,berjaya atau tidak.Dalam kegawatan ekonomi,Presiden Obama mahu pengecilan terhadap belanjawan ketenteraan yang melampau tinggi--seperti yang dilakukan oleh Clinton pada tahun 1993.Perbelanjaan ketenteraan disusutkan,dan dialihkan kepada pembinaan Internet.Obama mungkin akan berhati-hati dalam perbelanjaan ketenteraan ini.

Hari ini beliau telah membincangkan secara serius tentang penutupan kem Gitmo Bay,dan beliau komited untuk menutupnya terus.

Hari ini juga beliau telah mengehadkan golongan pelobi dari terus melobi dalam White House,dimana golongan pelobi ini tidak boleh memberi secara berlebihan,kerana kegawatan ekonomi.Beliau kelihatan bersungguh-sungguh kerana beliau tidak mahu golongan pelobi ini menguasai White House.

Apapun,apa yang perlu kita buat ialah tunggu dan lihat pentadbiran seterusnya dalam pentadbiran Presiden Barack Obama ini.

Islam Liberal.

First for all,I would like to congratulate my neighbor--United States of America--for receiving their new President,Barack Obama.Hopefully the relationship between Ottawa and Washington be more friendlier--hopefully.

Anyway,among the bloggers came here and telling me about hudud etc,one phrase makes me curious--it's Islam Liberal.I never heard this phrase before,perhaps since 2005 I left Malaysia and to be honest--I never heard of this phrase before.

Correct me if I'm wrong--Islam Liberal is something like--you're Muslim,but you're free thinker,or Muslim In Name Only.Whatever it is,this phrase is for me,distorting.

Let me copy from dictionary what is meaning of liberal.

Origin: 1325–75; ME freedom, befitting the free, equiv. to līber free + -ālis

So,what is wrong to befitting the free,and fight for freedom?What is wrong to be open minded and tolerant?What is wrong to be free from prejudice and bigotry?

The person describes me Islam Liberal is like horrible,condemned words,and we should avoid it from your mind.Are you telling me that if you want to be a good Muslim,you have to be CONSERVATIVE?

Now,don't tell me liberal and conservatives are not teachings in Islam.It's a basic point of view,regardless what religion you are,or race.My brother is quite conservative,I'm quite liberal,my dad is open minded,considers as liberal--it's just a point of view.

OK,put it this way--let's say about emancipation.Women emancipation is a major role in Islam.In Quran there's a lot mentioning about women emancipation.There's a verse called An-Nisa means women.Now that's liberalism.In Quran it's mentioned about liberation from slavery,now that's liberalism.And from this point--I don't see there's nothing wrong with "liberal" word.

Now,to discuss about this word,you have to think like a knife.If we think knife is a tool,then it's helpful.If you think knife as a weapon,that's a dangerous part.

If all of my friends here thinking that "Islam Liberal" is a phrase for Muslim In Name Only,then I don't want to be like that.We must hold our religion deep inside our heart.But Islam is a religion of peace,religion of freedom and religion that against prejudice and bigotry.Then Islam is already--a liberal religion.It should be like that.We mentioned about women emancipation,against slavery,and so on.

You must remember in liberal there's also a law.It's no such thing as no law--it's not liberalism,it's anarchism.I don't believe in anarchy,where is no God,no law,and you're free as free as you want.Religion is a guidance,a path for us to improve ourselves--to be a better person.

I'm not an anarchist.I am a liberalist.

In Islam we uphold human rights,we take care of our prisoners of war carefully--that's liberal.

Unless you've been surrounded by CONSERVATIVES,then I can't help you to describe what is meaning to be a liberal person.

George W. Bush is a conservative person.Stephen Harper is a conservative person.Ehud Olmert is also a conservative person.Are you part of them?

CONSERVATIVES IS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT CANNOT TOLERATE OR JOIN OTHER THAN A BUNCH OF PEOPLE LIKE THEM.THEY DISLIKE THE IDEA OF UNIVERSALISM,DISLIKE UNITY AND ALWAYS DESPISE PEOPLE THAT NOT PART OF THEM.FOR EXAMPLE:COWBOY REDNECKS,ZIONIST,NAZI,EVANGELIST,KLU KLUX KLAN.

We should showing to others that our religion is the one that bring human rights and justice in the right path.We should be the example--to be better religion for a better person.

Instead we always like to punish rather than TEACHING."If you do this then you will be condemned,don't go that way,don't leave this way.."

You can't plant a tree just like that.You need to water your tree,treat it well,a bit of fertilizer,then you will get a fruitful tree.

"Life is all about discovery.You cannot discover something if you stay the same way,from baby until you die--it's a learning process."-My dad.

Reform means change.In Islam we also talk about change--hijrah.That's why our Prophet went to Madinah--to reform.

Islam Liberal is a definitely different than Muslim In Name Only.This MINO people are poseurs in Islam.And I believe Islam is religion of peace,freedom and liberty--something that liberal people adores the ideas to be free.

Pakatan Rakyat,put these NDP-Liberal-Bloc Quebecois as good example!

Today,a history were made for Canadians.NDP leader Jack Layton,Liberals Stephane Dion and Bloc Quebecois Gilles Duceppe today sign a treaty that create a pact to form government,against Conservatives Party.The Tories are already weakening,and this non-confidence vote will be successful in December 8th,all we have to do is to wait Governor General Michelle Jean to arrive from Prague.

Despite our ideological differences,NDP with socialism,Liberals with liberal and green politics,and Bloc Quebecois as Quebec nationalism separatist,we still can form great team here.

And Pakatan Rakyat should take us as a good example too.

16 September already a failure,and now,we Canadian oppositions did it in just 2 months,whilst Pakatan Rakyat still do nothing after 9 months of election.

Action speaks louder than words.And I know,maybe after all these time,my harsh words toward PAS,in for ensure that they're committed to against BN,not for their own agenda.

I know there will be by-election in Kuala Terengganu,and this is the time for Pakatan Rakyat,especially PAS to change my mind.I want to hear a sound of moderation,sound of sharing and not shouting in the name of Islam,and dismiss multilateral.

Multilateralism is the only way now,for success.If ignores other voices,you may fail,like Bush and Harper does.

Islam is a good religion,so does others.Instead sounds unilateral,fighting only for Islam,why don't you PAS people fight for others too?Because so far,I've been thinking,it's only PKR who's committed in this battle,against corrupted conservative government of Barisan Nasional.

One More Step for Liberals--it's either Dion or Ignatieff.

Canada's three opposition parties have reached a tentative deal to defeat the minority Conservative government and then put together a coalition to rule for 2-1/2 years, television networks said on Monday.

They said the deal was struck very late on Sunday at the end of three days of talks between the opposition Liberals and New Democrats, who insist the government must go because it has failed to tackle the effects of the global financial crisis.

A spokesman for the New Democrats said the reports "seemed to be accurate, more or less" but declined to give details.

Parliament is due to hold a confidence vote on Dec 8 and if the government loses, the opposition parties are likely to get their chance to run the country.

The 2-1/2 year lifetime of the proposed coalition is highly ambitious since the Liberals and New Democrats would have to rely on the separatist Bloc Quebecois for support.

The Conservatives, who won a strengthened minority in the October 14 election, say the Liberals and New Democrats are trying to subvert democracy.

"What this is all about is the opposition wanting to take power without an election. They don't want to earn the right to govern, they just want to take it," federal Transport Minister John Baird told CTV television on Monday.

The Liberals and New Democrats have a total of 114 seats in the 308-seat Parliament. The Conservatives have 143.

The opposition is also furious that Ottawa said last week it would scrap public financing for political parties.

Such a move would cripple the opposition parties, which rely much more on public financing than the Conservatives. The government withdrew the proposal on Saturday but the opposition say they can no longer trust Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The outline deal must be approved by the New Democrats and Liberals before it can come into effect. New Democrat legislators are set to meet in Ottawa at 9 a.m. (1400 GMT) on Monday to discuss the draft agreement.

The media reports said the new government would have 24 ministers, of whom 18 would be Liberals and six New Democrats. The Liberals have governed Canada longer than any other party while the New Democrats have never been in power federally.

STICKING POINT

One potential sticking point is who would lead a coalition government. The Liberals have more Parliamentary seats, so leader Stephane Dion would in theory be the leading candidate.

Dion, though, led the Liberals to such a bad defeat in the October 14 election that he will step down after the party chooses a new chief next May. A move to make him prime minister so soon after such a crushing loss is bound to be controversial.

Most Liberal legislators support ex-Harvard academic Michael Ignatieff, the front-runner in the leadership race, raising the prospect that they might try to force Dion to step down early. Under party rules Dion is not obliged to quit until the leadership convention.

Bob Rae, the other main leadership contender, said he had held talks with Dion and Ignatieff on Sunday on the need to maintain party unity and discipline.

"It's very important for Canadians to know that the notion that somehow any internal issues in the party would be allowed to interfere with a successful transition to a new government, that notion is false," he told CTV.

He denied a newspaper report which said he had agreed to step aside in favor of Ignatieff.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think Stephane Dion will be PM by now,maybe it's Michael Ignatieff.Maybe Dion will be Acting Prime Minister waiting for Ignatieff to be Liberal Party leader.

December 8th,2008.The day Stephen Harper will go down(hopefully).

LATEST NEWS:Stephen Harper is under threat of no confidence vote.

News from The Canadian Press.

The battle for public opinion is on as opposition parties try to cobble together a government-in-waiting and Tory MPs denounce the effort as an illegitimate power grab.

Reprieved for a week from a potential defeat in the Commons, Tory MPs hit the airwaves on Saturday and fanned out in their ridings, armed with talking points issued by the prime minister's office.

They are getting out the double message that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is dedicated to rescuing the economy while the opposition is bent on backroom machinations to seize power.

Pierre Poilievre, Harper's parliamentary secretary, told CBC Newsworld the opposition parties are focused on power while Harper is looking at the economy.

"We have a prime minister fixated on the economy and a group of Liberals, separatists and socialists fixated on taking control." he said.

Liberal and NDP officials continued dickering Saturday about a possible coalition that would be prepared to form a government if Harper is defeated a week from Monday.

The NDP caucus arranged a mid-morning teleconference on Saturday to discuss the situation.

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion and NDP Leader Jack Layton spoke by phone Friday night.

They and the Bloc Quebecois say they will vote Harper out because of his lacklustre economic package brought down earlier this week by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.

They would then offer their coalition government - and a promise of Bloc support if not actual participation - to Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean.

Jean would then have to decide whether to give the coalition a chance to govern or dissolve Parliament and send the country into a new election just two months after the last.

Constitutional experts say precedents suggest that Jean won't grant a dissolution.

Harper has delayed the critical vote for a week, but is refusing to back down from his economic plans or from his proposal to end public subsidies for political parties, a move which would virtually bankrupt his opponents.

Poilievre said the opposition is thinking only of its own money.

"Isn't it interesting that the opposition parties say they can't manage their own finances and that's why they need to take over the government and run the nation's finances?"

However, both Liberal and NDP officials claimed their parties have been deluged with supportive calls and e-mails from people outraged that the government is indulging in partisan gamesmanship while the economy burns.

Moreover, they attacked Harper for decrying their efforts to form a coalition when he himself participated in a similar venture in 2004 to replace the minority Liberal government of Paul Martin.

"He has proven to be the patron saint of hypocrisy," Liberal finance critic Scott Brison said in an interview.

"Canadians can't trust a word their prime minister says. He's proven he will say anything and do anything to hold on to power."

Brison said Harper should have used the global economic crisis to try to unite Canadians and get parliamentarians working together on solutions. Instead, he said Harper has so poisoned the atmosphere in Parliament that it's hard to see how a crisis can be averted.

"I see virtually no possibility of Stephen Harper being able to earn back the trust of this Parliament."

Both Brison and NDP House Leader Libby Davies denied that the coalition talks were more about saving their parties' share of public financing. They insisted the real issue is the failure to stimulate the economy or offer aid to the struggling auto, manufacturing and forestry sectors.

"The government failed Canadians," Davies said. "They did not bring forth the kind of significant economic stimulus that we've seen in all other G7 countries."

She said the country is at a critical point:

"We're at this incredibly important moment in the country. Mr. Harper had a chance last week, Mr. Flaherty had a chance on Thursday to really show that they could rise above their pettiness and put the public interest first.

"They really blew that."

YEAAAAAHHHHH BABY I LOVE THIS!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!The Conservatives is going down!HAHAHAHAHAHA!2 months old of government HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!

Yeah,after I return back to Calgary from Mexico,I'll throw eggs to those Conservative nuts who threw to my car on Election Day!I swear I will do this.Yes.

Stephen Harper are you listening,
Keep our seats shine and glistering,
Coz when you're idiot as people's say,
And we will take it away,
Walking in Rideau Hall wonderland!

Freedom of Speech,Guys!

After surgery operation for my ankle injury,there was Internet wars and circle of friends,has turned--circle of violence.Well,in the terms of cyber violation law-cyber bullying.

My friend Nami has been attacked by his own peers at Manchester United Myspace group,after he called Dimitar Berbatov as Dimitar Beratbontotov (literally:Dimitar Heavy Ass-tov).

His disappointment towards Berbatov as Man United fan,which the club that he loves since kid,was unbearable.Especially after his favorite Man United player,Carlos Tevez,has not become the first team since arrival of Dimitar Berbatov.He often describes Dimitar Berbatov as the culprit of Man United under performance on striker section.Despite his 4 goals in Champions League--2 of the goals were totally offside(game against Celtic),he is still,for Nami,is not Manchester United material.

The peak goes high after Manchester United lost against Arsenal last week.Yes,as childhood favorite team,this result was disappoint him.Without Tevez on the pitch,his angst towards Berbatov even higher,and in the end,he wrote a blog that hurts entire Manchester United fan.In the end,after been attacked by Man United's fan,he decided to delete his old Myspace,and change his favorite team-Liverpool FC.

Well known rivalry of both teams,I know one thing-he is upset with reactions toward him.Not because hatred toward his blog,but toward himself.

I think,both sides were childish at this situation.Fight against friends because of football club,eeww..that's not matured,at all.

I am a Celtic fan,and I got reason of that.And let me remind myself--sometimes people are taking seriously about the game that they love--in this case,football.

Opinion hurts.A lot.Sometimes I can't accept what people say or think of me,it's freaks me out,but at the end of the day,I sit back,and thinking what did I done that make other hurts.The angst outburst at Myspacespere nowadays,and if I were Nami,I think I won't delete my account.

Freedom of speech oftenly being remark as hurting other feelings.Sometimes freedom of speech makes others uses freedom of speech to generate hatred and anger.

Look,I believe in capitalism,small government and Reaganomics,although I'm often politically liberal.I believe freedom was meant to be inside mankind,and law--either from the government or religion(authority) restricting it.If Islam don't have any law,Arabs will end up killing babies and they will drink alcohol like water.

I always be liberal,but in economics,I believe in supply-side economy and cutting taxes for middle income,I believe business running the whole world,and I won't certainly believe socialism works.Socialism sucks.That's why I prefer Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama,but I can't stand neo-cons keep controlling the world,I prefer Obama over McCain.

Now if I said I've talk a lot about liberalism in my town in Calgary,it's ended up people threw eggs at my car.Simple,this city is the most conservative city in the whole of Canada.It's a home of Conservative Party.And some people hates "freedom of speech".

Like Nami,I also was a hatred symbol in Canadian Election.But it's politics,and that's a serious thing.But being hate because of football,give me a break.All of you got serious thing to think,rather just a football thing.Malcolm Glazer won't pay you guys if all of you spitting Nami on his face.

Therefore,I endorsed Nami to join Liverpool FC fan club.Beside,Liverpool FC won more trophies,won more Champions League,and historically rich.Something that fits you.

Nami,as your friend,You'll Never Walk Alone.

Something in common between Liverpool and Celtic fans shares together-friendship.Believe me,it's a deep meaning at that phrase.Either you're Scousers or Bhoys,they won't leave you.

But please,all of you,grow up.I MEAN,ALL OF YOU.Next time,you'll end up fighting for something idiot-ice cream cakes or chocolate chip cookies.

Stephane Dion stepped down as Liberal Leader.

October 24, 2008


OTTAWA —The Honourable Stéphane Dion announced today that he will step down as Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada once a new leader is elected at the Liberal Party of Canada’s Leadership and Biennial Convention, to be held in 2009.


Bye bye Dion,welcome Ignatieff!

Why Liberal lost in Canadian Election.

There's already a week since Canadian election,and now,as a Liberal supporters,I really want to discuss it,and it is important if we want to defeat Stephen Harper,or stop Jack Layton to move as Opposition Leader next election.

1.People simply don't trust Stephane Dion.

Since "it's not fair" incident,Canadian as thought that Stephane Dion is a wanker,and not capable to lead.

2.Bullying campaign of Stephen Harper.

Stephen Harper uses his massive influence as Prime Minister to bullying Liberal leaders,especially Dion.

3.Stephane Dion is not fluently in English.

Stephen Harper may not good in French,but most of Francophone in Canada is Quebecois.Most of Quebecois votes Gilles Duceppe,Bloc Quebecois leader.So,Liberal need Anglophone leader,Dion fails to deliver.

4.Green Shift Plan misunderstood by Canadians.

While I'm think it's good for our enviroment,people like my brother or my friends simply don't agrees it.They believe if Green Shift Plan be applied when Dion become Canadian Prime Minister,the oil price will be soaring high,and they don't afford to do that.Hybrid cars,not for speed junkies like my brother.

5.Not capable to challenge Conservatives.

Even Stephen Harper at the lowest of popularity in his career as Prime Minister.Especially when economy crisis soars,listeriosis outbreak and his dictatorship,but still Liberal didn't work out to beat Conservatives.I don't trust polls,but even I was in Toronto,some Torontonians said Conservatives will win.Don't mention Calgary,it's stronghold of Stephen Harper.

6.Opposition parties simply don't unite.

This is the main reason why we lost.While NDP with their socialist movement,there should be an agreement between Green Party and Liberal Party,at least.While Bloc Quebecois,Quebec won't be a country,for God's sake!So,while Green Party will never ever got prospect to win this election,the idioticity of their leader Miss Elizabeth May arrogance and greed believes they can win Canadian election.If only they unite like Pakatan Rakyat did.

I will bald my hair off if Green Party win the election and Miss Elizabeth May is Canadian PM.
Only treehuggers will vote them.

So,what we got from here now?We already lost election,the lowest since 1984,and we need to recover ourselves.We don't have much time for fooling around.

So,with my open heart,I endorsed Michael Ignatieff as Leader of Liberal Party,and thus become Opposition Leader of House of Commons.

You have failed us Dion.Step down and give Ignatieff to proof himself.

Liberal Campaign:Day 7 and Listeriosis Outbreak.

The Real Harper

Day 7 so far has an advantage for Liberal Party when Leader Stephane Dion questions Harper's policy towards prevention of Listeriosis outbreak in North York,Ontario.

Harper,with his "divide and conquer" policy,has ignores this outbreak issues,because Ontario is stronghold of Liberals.

Liberal with NDP both side has criticizes Harper mismanagement and on this election,Stephane Dion hope that people,not only Ontarioan but all Canadian to against Harper mismanagement.

On the federal political level, there is a developing debate on the privatization of food inspection.A cabinet document leaked earlier in the year outlines a plan to save money at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) by shifting federal meat inspectors into an oversight role and leaving companies to implement their own methods. Liberal leader Stéphane Dion was harshly critical and drew comparisons to the 2000 Walkerton tainted water tragedy and the privatization of propane inspection, which he blamed for the 2008 Toronto explosions. Gerry Ritz responded that the CFIA has added 200 inspectors since the Conservatives came to power, adding, "As opposed to having our inspectors standing line by line, they'll have a more oversight role within the plant itself . We're trying to build a better mousetrap here."

Liberals unveil unprecedented infrastructure plan

TORONTO – A new Liberal government will commit more than $70 billion over the next 10 years to improve the critical infrastructure that supports Canada’s competitiveness and quality of life and will divert unanticipated annual budget surpluses to infrastructure projects, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion announced today.

“Canada faces an infrastructure deficit in the hundreds of billions of dollars,” said Mr. Dion.

“A Liberal government will invest aggressively to reduce that deficit, working in partnership with the provinces and territories and our cities and communities.”In these times of economic difficulty, we Liberals understand that the government must make investments into those areas that will increase our competitiveness and at the same time, create good, well-paying jobs for Canadians. While honouring all existing framework agreements that have been signed with the provinces and territories, our $70-billion investment will support Liberal priorities, including building and upgrading strategic infrastructure, creating a National Transit Strategy, developing a Small Communities Fund, strengthening gateway, corridor, and border infrastructure, and renewing and expanding sports and recreational facilities. A Liberal government created the gas tax transfer to municipalities to help them invest in important infrastructure needs, and we will now index it to economic growth so our cities and communities can develop as our economy grows. Over the course of our 10-year plan, municipalities will see almost $25 billion transferred to them through the improved gas tax transfer.This announcement builds on a Liberal commitment made in February 2008 that all unanticipated surplus funds beyond a $3-billion contingency reserve will be spent on infrastructure, particularly green infrastructure.A new Liberal government will also create an Infrastructure Bank to make available to all levels of government low-cost financing for infrastructure projects such as regional energy grids or high-speed rail.“Canada’s cities and towns are the engines of our economy,” said Mr. Dion.

“Without significant long-term investments in infrastructure, our economy and environment will suffer. This plan will provide Canada’s economic engines with the support they need, and is an important part of our efforts to reduce Canada’s environmental footprint.”

Stéphane Dion announces new drug plan

HALIFAX – A new Liberal government will invest $900 million to create a new plan for catastrophic drug coverage that would ensure Canadians living with serious illnesses - such as cancer, diabetes, and arthritis - can focus on their health instead of worrying about their finances, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion announced today.

“We believe that no Canadian should have to choose between taking a drug they need, and paying for their other basic needs,” said Mr. Dion. “Unfortunately this is too often the case today, especially in the Atlantic provinces.”“Some Canadians with debilitating, chronic illnesses face very high prescription drug costs, which can lead to a catastrophic financial burden for individuals and families,” he said. “The new drug plan will ensure all Canadians access to much-needed drugs no matter where they live.”

“Canadians should not be faced with catastrophic costs that force you to choose between financial solvency and your health,” said Mr. Dion.A new Liberal government will work with the provincial and territorial governments to determine the level of catastrophic drug coverage that should be provided as a national minimum. As well, we will directly compensate those provinces that are already providing that level of coverage.Spending on prescription drugs is growing faster than any other category of health expenditures.

With these increasing costs, provincial health spending is even further stretched and other health programs may suffer. A new Liberal government will assist the provinces to ensure Canadians across the country have access to drug therapies for serious illnesses. “It was a Liberal government that introduced universally-accessible health care more than 40 years ago and introduced the Canada Health Act 25 years ago. It will be a Liberal government that will ensure the system is healthy and accessible to all Canadians now and into the future,” said Mr. Dion.

Liberals will restore fairness,streamline immigration system

RICHMOND, British Columbia – A new Liberal government will reverse the irresponsible immigration measures introduced by the Conservatives last spring and invest a total of $800 million in new federal funding to deal with the immigration backlog, welcome more new Canadians, and ensure that they succeed, Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion said today.

“Last spring the Conservative government gave the Immigration Minister sweeping discretionary powers to reject whole categories of immigration applications,” said Mr. Dion. “When I am elected Prime Minister I will immediately reverse these unfair and dangerous immigration changes.”

Mr. Dion went on to discuss the Liberal vision for Canada, which includes ensuring new Canadians receive the support they need to fully participate in Canadian society.

“Immigration will account for all of Canada’s net labour and population growth during the next five years and is a key element of the Liberal plan for Canada’s future success,” said Mr. Dion. “A Liberal government will make the necessary investments to increase the number of permanent residents to Canada every year and ensure they have the necessary tools to succeed.”

In full partnership with provinces, fully respecting agreements such as the one with Quebec, over four years, a new Liberal government will invest:

-$400 million to modernize the immigration system, process applications more efficiently and support the admission of significantly more permanent residents to Canada.

-$200 million in New Beginnings Canada – an enhanced language training initiative designed to help newcomers master the language necessary to get jobs that match their qualifications; and

-an additional $200 million for Bridge to Work – a new initiative that will better prepare newcomers for the workplace through the use of internships, mentorship and work placement opportunities. And we will help get foreign credentials recognized, by providing direct financial support to assist foreign-trained doctors and other professionals in obtaining their Canadian qualifications.

“A successful immigration plan is built on the sound principles of fairness, accountability and opportunity,” said Mr. Dion. “We will welcome new Canadians everywhere in Canada to help us enrich our country, and we will provide and expand their opportunities to succeed.”

Canadian Press:PM Harper is a liar!

OTTAWA - Liberal Leader Stephane Dion turned up the rhetoric against his chief rival Monday, calling Prime Minister Stephen Harper a liar in blunt language seldom used even in political campaigning.

The Liberal leader repeated the charge several times at a Montreal-area campaign stop in response to Conservative accusations that his party would raise the GST and cut the government's child-care allowance.

"They are piling their lies upon lies," he said. "They are unable to stop to lie. Canadians will not accept that."

Dion also said the Conservatives have misrepresented his environmental plan to combat global warming, adding that he wants a serious debate with Harper on the issue.

He called on the prime minister not to "try to win an election by lying."

The strong words on the second day of the election campaign came hours after the Tories launched a series of new attack ads, depicting Dion as a risky choice who "would make everything more expensive" for Canadians.
