Totally disgusting comments, but what is even more disgusting is how deep Tom Flanagan’s connections go in our current government.
- Joined the reform party of Canada in 1990, and was an adviser for Preston Manning until being fired in 1993
- Tom Flanagan and Stephen Harper began publishing together in 1996-7 with “Canadian conservatism is at its strongest level in many years” and their controversial opinion piece entitled “Our Benign Dictatorship: Canada’s system of one-party-plus rule has stunted democracy.
- Flanagan was a key player in Stephen Harper’s political rise to Prime Minister of Canada. Flanagan managed his leadership campaigns for the Canadian Alliance (2002) and the Conservative Party of Canada (2004).
- He also managed the Conservative Party’s national election campaign in 2004.
- He was the Senior Communications Adviser for the Conservatives successful 2005–2006 election campaign.
- In 2008, Flanagan was accused by Dona Cadman of offering her late husband, MP Chuck Cadman, a million-dollar life insurance policy (on behalf of the Conservative Party of Canada) in exchange for his vote against the Liberal budget in May 2005.

- In 2010, While appearing on the CBC television program “Power & Politics”, he called for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be killed. “I think Assange should be assassinated,”
Some people will go to any lengths to try and bring down the other party. Must be because he’s a liberal who dosn’t want to stay in third place. with this type of writing they will sink to a new lower position in my books. And no I am not a conservative.
repost from xxxxx: Whenever I think of USA born Tom Flanagan, I think of his duplicity. He bad mouths public pensions and socialism of all kinds yet he was a union member and now receives an indexed pension plus CPP/OAS to live a comfortable retirement, and has public health care while he fishes and helps destroy the very thing that made his comfort possible.
