Canada's New Democratic Party again proves they have earned the name The Wormtongues

Do you ever get the feeling that Canada's New Democratic Party possess the intelligence and competence of the mutant family from The Hills Have Eyes?

The greatest leader the New Democratic Party of Canada never had

Having fluked their way into Official Opposition status through the collapse of the Bloc Quebecois, were it not for the Conservative majority, Canada narrowly avoided having this gang of inept buffoons being able to exert real power over governmental affairs.


The most recent example of just how bad things could have been were the NDP to ever acquire any real authority comes from that party's Immigration and Citizenship Critic Don Davies and Foreign Affairs Critic Hélène Laverdière's joint statement on the government's defunding of Palestine House.

An alleged welcoming centre for Palestinian immigrants to Canada, Palestine House has been linked to Immigration fraud and sponsorship of anti-Semitic rallies in Canada and works against the Canadian government's foreign policy goals.

Immigration Don Davies in particular should serve as a warning of how far the state of Canadian politics could have descended. The dearth of NDP abilities has given a senior role to someone who criticized laws meant to deter the illegal exploitation people wishing to come to Canada through human smuggling to Canada by comparing that with the Underground Railroad that helped escaped slaves seek refuge here.

Human smuggling entails criminals bringing in illegal aliens to work as slaves in Canada or as illegal economic immigrants, a subtle distinction evidently lost on Don Davies. Davies is the same person who showed his wisdom and capability as a player in the world of international diplomacy by calling for Canada to bar entry to the former Vice President of our closest ally and trading partner.

Davies seems happy to stand up for Palestine House, stupidly claiming, "“Given the high quality and success of its programming, it’s clear the Minister cancelled this funding for political reasons, all of which have turned out to be spurious." The political reasons of which Davies wrote would include support for terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as a litany of other disgusting acts from an organization that made a mockery of government funding programs.

Davis has shown his complete gutlessness in the face of coercion from anti-Israel groups before. While attending an anti-Israel rally in Vancouver in 2009, he stood at a podium and denounced Israel, but at a meagre attempt at balance, he made a simple, obvious statement that, "Palestinians must also stop violence against Israel."

He was immediately shouted at by the bloodthirsty fanatic that comprise the anti-Israel groups embraced by his NDP colleague and namesake Libby Davies, and rather than stand his ground, like Bob Rae has in similar situations,  Davies slunk from the podium like a confused, impotent, beaten dog. He later oozed his way back to try to re-ingratiate himself to the cretinous assembly by proclaiming, "My friends, do not take anything I've said to justify Israeli actions that we've seen."

If Rae's Ontario NDP were The Clampetts, at least they were well intentioned if not able. The federal NDP would be better described as The Wormtongues, cowardly, repulsive, self-interested politicans who Canada would do well to keep as far from the halls of power as possible.
