What about the Bloc Quebecois? Ignore them?

Probably. There are better fish to fry in the upcoming election as shown in this recent freak inc. posting, United for a Conservative Canada.

Freaks on Retreat. A Manifesto. Of sorts.

Where do we go from here?
It’s been a little under a month since our first Freak blog was published. Since then, we have grown to 12 blogs which are linked through our freaks inc. site. Now is the time to put our feet into the ocean for a few days to see where we go from here. So, as of tomorrow, April 14, there will be no postings until about April 19 as all the Freaks associated with all the sites go on retreat. We will be asking ourselves these questions, among others:
1. Do we continue as blogs or go to a full Web site? Or, both?
2. Will all the Freaks, from all the blogs, join in the upcoming election to lobby against all those politicians who support Bill C-17? Or, do we concentrate our efforts on the Liberals and the NDP and ignore the Bloc and the Conservatives? (If we go after the Bloc, we will have to recruit a French speaking Freak.) And, do we really want to go after the Conservatives? Truth be told, although we have picked on the Conservatives along with all the other parties, most of the Freaks are supportive of the Conservative Party. If this party wins the next election, we are sure they won’t be as anxious to support the spread of non-medical drugs, as are the other political parties. Or, do we remain completely apolitical?
3. How much money do we pour into the upcoming election campaign? Do we try to raise some cash? How many Freaks will put their lives on hold to fight this campaign?
4. How do we fight the campaign? Do we use news releases and telephone interviews with media that are situated within the targeted ridings, as well as updates to our blogs or web page (the latter depends on the time we have before an election to get a Web page up) or do we also use billboards and other mass advertising? This, of course, depends on our finances and would probably necessitate some fund raising. Are there any rich Freaks (or not Freaks) out there, who support our fight against the spread of non-medical drugs, such as pot?
5. Will we finally have an Executive Director to co-ordinate all our FAD (Freaks Against Drugs) business? It is important to have a "front man" for all media contacts. We have two Freaks here who are capable and have the experience to do this, but they are a bit leery of becoming front men because of some of the language, in the past, used on many of our sites. Not only what we have said, but how we have said it is bothersome to both of them. Each site is independent of the other and even within sites, particularly the FAD site, there is more than one person posting. If we are to be taken more seriously, our candidates for Executive Director have said that all postings (at least on the FAD sites) would have to be cleared by them. Some of our more anarchist Freaks have a problem with this.
6. Do we disband? Say, "it was nice to get our feelings out but, there is more to life..." and just let the country go to pot?
7. That’s about it. If you have feedback, please email us at freaksinc2@hotmail.com.
8. Until next week, this is Peter wishing you peace. Freak peace

Bloc beats NDP in our Drug Report Card

The Bloc would have been tied with the NDP, except for the fact that they have a crucial role to play in Canada. Their duty to keep the Liberals from gaining a majority government in our country. We know this has nothing to do with drugs, but hey, they still failed. Click this link to see our complete report card.

A Drugged Canada. Thanks to the Bloc.

A picture the Bloc would like to see, repeated in every city, town and village across Canada. Their present to the rest of us. Canada's youth, mainlining drugs.

What the Bloc Wants for Canada.

Please, don't click on this link one hour before a meal. Or, until at least an hour after your meal. It's not a pretty sight. But it's something we will see more of if the Bloc press ahead with softening Canada's drug laws.

How do the other parties look on the issue?

The Liberals are here. The Conservatives can be found at this link. And, don't forget the NDP.

Only two out of 52 don't vote for Pot Law.

Out of the 54 Bloc MPs in Parliament, only two didn't vote for Bill C-17 during the first reading. The two who were sick or had some other reason, no doubt, for not being available to vote were: Marcel Gagnon (Saint-Maurice-Champlain) and Louis Plamondon (Bas-Richelieu-Nicolet-Becancour). So, do we care? No. It's what we expected. Are we going to target them through the media during an election? We doubt it. Why bother. Who cares, really, what the Bloc does or doesn't do?

Too Busy Cashing their Paychecks?

Not one of the Bloc members responded to our survey on Bill C-17, the bill taking us down the road to legal pot. We want to give them the benefit of the doubt, however, we did send the survey in English. So, give them a few days to translate it. Don't hold your breath. These MPs are too busy plotting to take Quebec out of Canada and what better gift to leave then legislation that seeks to drug our Canadian young people? No, they're too busy cashing their paychecks and sitting on their duffsters to respond to some anglophone. Seriously, we don't think they really want to break up the country; where else could they get $100,000 + a year salaries while hosting numerous wine and cheese parties? We have to hand it to them. They do provide an important public service to the rest of Canada. By taking so much of the vote in Quebec and capturing so many ridings, they keep the Liberal rot to a minimum.
