In a bar called The Deck in the High Country Inn, the NDP gather every Friday to celebrate communist dictatorships and have even painted a symbolic Red Square on the floor of which they proudly posted a video on YouTube:
(To watch the full 5 minute video see here)
And as if it wasn’t bad enough for these NDP “brothers and sisters” to be so openly brazen with their support for murderous psychopaths such as Joseph Stalin, the photo above, taken at a “Vietnam Hat Party” includes 3 Yukon NDP MLAs.
Happily partying to the one party state of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are:
– far left is MLA Jim Tredger
– behind the guy in the center is MLA Jan Stick
– beside Stick wearing the glasses is MLA Lois Moorcroft
For those who are thinking along the lines of “what do I care about some nutbar Yukon NDP MLAs”, check out who was up North campaigning with these Commies’ leader Liz Hanson:
Little scarier now huh?

She weighed in on the AB election covered last night on our local Global dinnertime slot. I have a feeling a few TV screens had shoe marks on them.
People that support this mindset are lazy citizens. The don’t want to do any of the heavy lifting, dislike freedoms and believe in lowering their eyes and bowing. They have no appreciation for the people who fought ******** like the ones they celebrate. None whatsoever.

Yeah, those Trwnna MP’s like to stick their noses into everyone elses’s bidness. Come to think of it, that’s a prerequisite for just about anyone living in Trawnna (center of the Universes and all) – poking their noses into their neigbor’s business. Disclosure: I was born there. Sorry, didn’t mean to stink up the place.

The media including the SNN refuses to disclose the NDP own policies. All that NDP lovey dove dove for the little guy is all but a show.

“Birds of a feather flock together” applies here. NDP and Commies are brethren, nothing statling here.
Since the NDP/Commies rely on other people’s money, guess their supporters pay for their sips and sops, when that runs out, the party is over.
April 22, 2012 at 10:58 AM
One has to wonder what this Yukon NDP caucus was thinking…
Maybe it went like this:
MLA Tredger: I’m bored. What do you want to do tonight, Comrades?
MLA Moorcroft: I know! Let’s gather up all our Communist paraphernalia and throw a Communist Vietnam Hat Party with NDP faithful at our Red Square!
MLA Stick: Great idea! No one would think it was weird if we all openly celebrate Communism and party with the Hammer and Sickle at a public bar and then post pictures online!

FYI NDP MP Mathieu Ravignat ran for the Communist Party https://bcblue.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/ndp-mp-doesnt-want-to-talk-about-his-communist-candidacy/

By his own admission, Gilles Duceppe was a Communist in the late 1960s. The Wikipedia article on him says:
“In his youth, he advocated communism, and held membership in the Workers’ Communist Party of Canada (WCP), a Maoist group. Duceppe later claimed that his three-year membership in the WCP was a mistake brought on by a search for absolute answers.”

Or it could have just been a fun tongue-in-cheek idea. Why not? Everyone calls them commies anyhow.
I’m not an NDP supporter but I think this simply falls under having a sense of humour about oneself. I imagine that even Liberals and Conservatives have a sense of humour about how they are portrayed in the media or by their detractors.
April 24, 2012 at 11:35 AM
Yes, let’s show that sense of humour with Nazi flags next shall we?

If it’s a joke, it’s a pretty elaborate one.The song they were singing at the end if The Internationale, the song of international communist movement. I’ve heard the melody before in movies like Reds. They went to the trouble of finding – and LEARNING – the English lyrics for the song. That’s a lot of work for a “tongue-in-cheek idea”, don’t you think?
April 27, 2012 at 1:41 PM
You noticed that too huh? So many people just happen to learn that song for “fun”.
April 22, 2012 at 12:18 PM
Wasn’t Anne McGrath, a former chief of staff to Jack Layton once a member of the Communist Party?
April 22, 2012 at 12:39 PM
“In the 1984 federal election, while a student, she ran as candidate for the Communist Party of Canada in Edmonton-Strathcona,[3] placing seventh.”
From “Anne McGrath” at Wikipedia.

Good grief! Nostalgia for communism and the Soviet Union, in Canada! These clowns are either brainless tools or willfully blind, maybe both. From R.J. Rummel’s “Death by Government”:
61,911,000 Murdered: The Soviet Gulag State
35,236,000 Murdered: The Communist Chinese Ant Hill
1,670,000 Murdered: The Vietnamese War State
That Soviet National Anthem the moronic Dippers sing so enthusiastically is littered with such obvious propagandist lies as “Long live our People, united and free.”
To think that the NDP is our Official Opposition and that BC is about to put them back in power.
It’s obscene. Lest we forget what the NDP stands for.
And, can we expect the MSM to give this any notice at all, like, say, they have for every mild instance of political incorrectness committed by a couple of Wild Rose Party members?
April 22, 2012 at 5:05 PM
Very good points, JR. We can laugh at their antics, but these MLAs seriously insult all the veterans who lost their lives fighting brutal Communist regimes. And you are right – mainstream liberal media give this NDP behaviour a complete pass, while endlessly scrutinizing any hints of impropriety from the Right.
April 24, 2012 at 9:50 PM
Hey Krysta, since when have you been such a reactionary! Now I have to react! I had to read this a few times to really believe that this is really a piece that is written sincerely, and not an NDP piece written in tongue-in-cheek irony. No one here seems to see that the people referred to (who are obviously not communists) are just poking a little fun at the way right-wingers are constantly caricaturing them. The fact that you use this to further caricature them is a little ironic. Anyway, come on, this is ancient history. Dressing up like a pharaoh doesn’t mean we support the persecution of the Hebrews in Egypt, dressing up like a pirate doesn’t mean we think it’s great to kill innocent sailors on the open sea, and waving the flag of this long-dead ideology doesn’t mean we want to bring back the Gulag… As to those veterans, well, just about all the Canadians who were killed and wounded in WWII were actually fighting on the side of the Communists, and not against them, since, yes, we were allies of Joseph Stalin all through that war. So there, consider me trolled.

Hey Sebastien, during my move this week I found an old VHS tape with a Reform Party promotional video you and I and Miranda made 19 years ago for a school project. I am trying to track down a VCR now, because it should be entertaining.
As for my comment here, I am speaking to the hypocricy of both the NDP and the media. Surely you can agree that no right wing Party would ever be allowed to cheerfully wave swastika flags without serious consequence in the media and cries from the Left. Witness the recent election in Alberta, where the Wildrose Party was forced to endure a constant barrage of fear and smear, which portrayed them as rascist, homophobic, extremists.
I believe we have a double-standard in Canada and Dean has done well to shed light on it in this Blog post.

Makes you wonder when Jack found the time to go for his massage.
April 24, 2012 at 6:15 AM
Can you imagine if some Tory or Reform MP’s/MLA’s attended a function to celebrate former fascist dictatorships, festooned with fasces and swastikas…?
April 24, 2012 at 7:01 AM
Yup, not a breath about this in the media

I find this totally disgusting.
My relatives suffered under the Soviets. The Russians under Stalin decimated the Ukrainian people and language & Culture and implemeted the Holodomor that killed 10,000,000+ people and these arseholes celebrate Stalin & Mao Zhedong — the two greatest war criminals of all time?
What drugs were these guys smoking and they are NDP?
Thomas Mulcair has some comments to make.

I sent an e-mail to my MP Peggy Nash (NDP — Parkdale — High Park) and CC’ed Thomas Muclair & CC’ed the PMSH, CC’ed the Tribute to Liberty Campaign (anti-communism statue campaign), the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association and will be following up to SUN Media.
I was revolted — if they were neo-nazis I could see jail time so what is with the neo-soviets?
June 22, 2012 at 4:27 PM
Good for you!

Thank you Dean
Lets see where it goes — have you heard more about this cabal?
Take care,

Yes, I have a good few contacts up there keeping me informed on what this nutbar group is doing.
