The Days of Big Government, silly taxes, wasteful spending is coming to an end. Stay tuned cheerleaders of the left, the Tim Horton's Party is coming for you!

The Liberal bus has just lost another Liberal Premier and Province to pedal their snake oil. You should have listened to the voters on the Long Gun Registry.

You should have not tried to sell out to Quebec Hydro. You should respect the tax payer and law abiding citizens.

The philosopher-comedian Russel Peters was correct somebody going to get a hurt and that somebody is you. Let us send at least 30 Federal Liberals into retirement at the earliest opportunity.

Tim Hortons Rolls Up the Profits

Tim Hortons Inc. reported on Thursday a 21 per cent gain in profits, something it calls its best three-month performance in several quarters.

The iconic Canadian coffee chain earned $94.1 million, up from $77.8 million a year ago.

This is obviously a big day for the Tim Hortons family, returning to your Canadian roots after 14 years away. Now, I agree, the United States is a great place to visit, but let’s face it, there is no place like our home and native land, there is no place like Canada. I also suspect that there will be a lot of Canadians actually surprised to hear that Tims is moving its headquarters back home. Your company is such a fixture here on the street corners and in the malls that I’m not sure many Canadians would believe you actually ever moved away, but this company’s success over the past four decades is truly impressive.

Compare what the Liberals did with the Prime Minister welcoming back Tim Hortons to Canada.

Two Liberal MPs and Staff Protest outside Tim Hortons

OAKVILLE – Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s absence today from a special meeting of world leaders at the United Nations in favour of a doughnut factory tour highlights Canada’s faltering world voice under the Conservatives – especially in the global fight against climate change.- Liberal Press Release critical of P.M.

A Liberal strategist realizing another failed political stunt?

• Conservatives show leadership in walking out from United Speeches by Iranian President. 
• Liberal Party caught playing gotcha politics attacking the Prime Minister in welcoming the return of Iconic Tim Hortons Head Office back to Canada.

Talk to Liberals – office holders, party organizers, fundraisers – around the country and you will tap into a malaise that a good pollster could rout out with a single question: “What's happening?” “Nothin',” the vast majority would respond, with a margin of error of plus or minus very little.

“There is no Liberal Party,” says one lifelong card carrier who has sat at cabinet tables.
“It died a long time ago. It's not completely extinct yet, but there's no there there.” In this lifelong Liberal's eyes, the party has been stalled for years. No new energy, no new ideas, no vision of what it might like to do. The singular advantage of proroguing, this Liberal would say, is that it has put an end to the squirming every time the opposition pounces.
“The ‘gotcha' stuff is out of control,” says the Liberal. “They bring in all these nerdy keener kids from campus and it's some kind of game to them. They're turning politics into pro wrestling.” The media concentrates on the top, Ignatieff, and on the Hill, but disenchanted Liberals say there is a story to be told far from the now-silenced sound bites of the Centre Block - G M

The Conservatives took in $4.1 million in donations between April 1 and the end of June, compared to $2.4 million for the Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois combined. For the Conservatives it is their best second quarter result since coming to power in 2006, despite months of negative headlines about deficits, Guergis and the G20. The Liberals raised a total of $1.6 million, down from last year's total of $4 million when they actually out-tallied the Conservatives on fundraising.- Media Coalition Efforts Fail To Dent Conservative Agenda

Amateur Hour: Liberals protest Tim Hortons and Burlington City Park

"Look at the field behind me, it is not getting done," Ignatieff said.

Burlington Mayor Cam Jackson said the Liberals picked the wrong field to stage their press conference. The park project just got environmental approval last week and wasn't planned for years."This project was not slated to be done for seven years," Jackson said. He added he won't criticize the Tories or the provincial government on infrastructure spending because he has projects happening all over his municipality.

Burlington Mayor Cam Jackson, who appeared alongside Mr. Baird, later criticized Mr. Ignatieff and Mr. Kennedy for what he described as a disingenuous photo op. “I can tell you it was a great visual shot, but I mean it just lacked the substantive facts that gave credibility to it,” the mayor said.

He said there was never any thought that construction would begin on this $6.9-million project, which is to be a multi-use park, until sometime next year.

And he suggested Mr. Ignatieff doesn’t understand how the infrastructure program actually works. He also said he found it “objectionable” that Mr. Kennedy criticized Premier McGuinty for being a partner with the federal government.

Tim Hortons chief financial officer Cynthia Devine said it's hoped the reorganization will improve efficiency, growth and competitiveness.

"Finally, this reorganization will help Tim Hortons align itself to continue to take advantage of lower Canadian tax rates," she said. "These lower tax rates help us and companies like us keep more capital at work and achieve our priority in reinvesting in the business for future growth in our company."

Liberals look small and disgenious by attacking without presenting an alternative and an environmental record of inaction. “I love my double-double as much as the next guy,” said Liberal Energy and Environment Critic David McGuinty. “But examining the latest in doughnut technology while the rest of the world’s leaders gather to confront the challenge of climate change is like Nero’s fiddling while Rome burns.”

Rome is a city in Italy. The Liberal Party is not the Roman Empire.

After a summer that saw the federal Conservatives and Liberals in a virtual tie, the Tories have opened up a comfortable lead over the Liberal Party and appear to be making a breakthrough in Toronto, a new poll suggests.

I don't understand who is advising the Liberal Party to make these mistakes. Someone needs to be fired.
