  Monte Solberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monte Solberg (born September 17, 1958 in Calgary, Alberta) is a Canadian politician, representing the riding of Medicine Hat in the Canadian House of Commons as a member of the Conservative Party of Canada.
A former broadcaster and businessman, Solberg was elected as a Reform Party Member of Parliament (MP) in 1993 and 1997, and as a Canadian Alliance MP in 2000.
Solberg keeps a high-profile blog, and in 2005, is thought to have made history when he blogged from the floor of the House of Commons immediately upon the passage of Bill C-38, which provided legal recognition of same-sex marriage.

 Encyclopedia: Monte Solberg
Solberg used to be a member of Canada's Alliance Party, a socially conservative collection of chronically dyspeptic people bearing grievances against those who enjoy few privileges, have a different cultural heritage, and haven't done as well by the good old traditional values as they have.
Today Monte sits as an MP in a new party -­ the Democratic Representative Caucus, former Alliance MPs who didn't poke Stockwell Day quite hard enough while he was on the plank, and, for their botched attempts at mutiny, were purged from the party.
For Solberg principles are for saps, the doughy-headed people who live in an airy-fairy world of justice and morality, not the hard, unforgiving world of reality, where might makes right, and those who stand in the way of the powerful get crushed, while those who are "helpful" are rewarded.

 CBC Saskatchewan - Aboriginal groups angry about Solberg comments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
First Nations and Métis groups are upset with Monte Solberg over comments the prominent Alberta Conservative candidate made to a Saskatoon radio station earlier this week.
In the radio interview, Solberg said the Kelowna agreement was something the Liberals "crafted at the last moment on the back of a napkin on the eve of an election" and the Conservatives would not honour it if they formed government.
Also expressing alarm about Solberg's comments was Chief Stewart Phillip of the Penticton Indian Band in B.C. "I am completely shocked and deeply angered to learn that a Stephen Harper government would simply rip up the hard-fought historic agreement," Phillip said in a news release.

Solberg is obviously attracting too much national attention from too many people, according to the infantile minds of the permanent ruling party.
Monte was commenting about what this new Canada stands for - and he was right - it is abhorrent.
Canadianna's post, Solberg's post that she quoted at length, and many of the comments here are excellent examples of exactly what he was talking about.

 Free Dominion :: View topic - Solberg
Solberg has come to respect Joe Clark, but he would need to make a call for his head on a platter a central part of his campaign.
If Solberg is one of the "better MPs" of the Alliance then maybe Jack Layton actually has potential to become the leader of the official opposition.
Actually, Solberg was one of the scumbag traitors who damaged the credibility of a party that was on the rise and was heading in the direction of potentially being a credible alternative to the Liberals until the DoRC scumbags carried out their pre-meditated attack on the party and it's democratically elected leader.

 The Full Monte
Monte Solberg links himself with, he has instead affirmed his strong support of the promotion of racist policies and statements - such as those made by his self-proclaimed "inspiring friend" Kate McMillan on her "Small Dead Animals" blog and others like it.
Monte Solberg again praises Kate McMillan and links directly to her site, this is after a rather long series of emails have been sent to himself and to other leaders within the conservative party alerting them to Ms.McMillan’s commentary mentioned above in this chronology.
Unless you can prove somehow that Monte Solberg, despite the repeated emails to his office, and to others in the leadership of the CPC (see here) was unaware of McMillan's remarks about Aboriginals, Angolans, the Ontario Separation Party, Jap Bastards, The MinuteMen Group etc...

 The Monger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Monte Solberg writes an extraordinary piece today, addressing the three words which have always justified every single terrible thing done by any government, anywhere:
Monte writes humourously about Ken Dryden's hockey career, and Stephan Dion's tilting at environmental windmills, but his message is deeply serious.
Harper captured much the same libertarian-ness a while ago, in a discussion about smoking and alcohol use: "People are going to have a drink and have a smoke and that's kind of the way life is going to be." This kind of approach seems all-too-rare in Nanny State Canada, and it deserves to be rewarded.

Despite the fact that staying, eating and entertaining yourself in the Principality can be expensive, there are plenty of money-concious options for getting there thanks to the multitude of budget airlines that fly in and out of Nice's superb airport facility.
There are various areas of the city, from the old town of Monaco Ville, through the glitz of Monte Carlo and casino-land itself and the port of La Condamine to the apartments of Fontvieille, where half the world's motorsport stars seem to live.
Monte Carlo is as much about nightlife as it is about motor racing, but you don't need a Prince-Rainier-sized budget to eat and drink here.

 My Blahg
But what Monte is blithely unaware of is the fact that the Conservative Party has not in any way proven to the electorate that they are the better choice.
So while Monte is right in his claim that the govering Liberals have not been providing the strong leadership our country needs, it's quite clear that his party will not do so either.
And all of Monte's machinations to oust the ruling liberals will go for naught unless his party realizes that simply being the anti-liberal party or claiming to be the world's first honest polietician is not enough reason for most of Canada's voters to give them the opportunity.

Monte’s little slip about “our own plan” to “help the natives” is very interesting.
In an interview Tuesday, Solberg said a government led by Stephen Harper should not be obligated to live up to an agreement reached by Paul Martin’s Liberals.

Subaru's Petter Solberg says he must calm down and draw a line under last season before starting his first rally as world champion in Monte Carlo this week.
Solberg beat Citroen's Sebastien Loeb, last year's Monte Carlo winner and favourite again this weekend, to the 2003 championship by just one point after powering back from a sluggish start to the season.
After the third event he had barely a handful of points on the board, but he turned the championship around and romped to victory in the final British round.

I think Solberg made a good point… I object to those who are taking a miniscule difference in policy, and exaggerate and manipulate emotions and symbols in an attempt to curry votes.
Solberg could not have intended that his insensitive, ignorant, ill-conceived, inflammatory article would cast such a negative light on himself and, by obvious extension, his party.

On Sunday night, Conservative Party finance critic and Medicine Hat, Alta. MP Monte Solberg put up a post at his blog that criticized Paul Martin, dubbing him Paul Martin Luther King.
It’s difficult to follow Solberg’s point but one could read it and get a sense that Solberg is insulting the memory of the U.S. civil rights leaders.
Solberg subsequently put up another post in which he called the PMO’s office staff who complained a bunch of cry babies and refined his explanation of the “Paul Martin Luther King” metaphor.

The article, on Alberta MP Monte Solberg's website, criticizes Martin for defending gay marriage as a right under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Solberg defended the article, saying he wrote it because Martin cloaked himself "in the language of the (U.S.) civil rights movement'' in defending same-sex marriage during the Liberal policy convention over the weekend.
In fact, the reference to Martin Luther King was a favourable one, Solberg argued.
