The first reviews are in. “Hilarious!” “Satire at its very best!” “I laughed myself silly at some of the stuff here, but you know something, what Green says is absolutely true!” “This is what my husband has been saying all along!” “Oh, so true! So true!” “I don’t know how Lowell does it, but here we go again. Bang, he hits the nail right square on the head!”
Those are just a few of the comments directed this way so far. By the time this book has disappeared from bookshelves across the country and been punched up on everyone’s eBook, you can be certain there will be more than a few complaints and petitions launched along with the accolades.
In fairness, this book does contain a grim warning that reading it may cause nightmares amongst the granola-crunching, tree-hugging, thug hugging crowd.
Those raising their children in gender-neutral environments, for example, will not likely agree with anything that appears here. The Gore/Suzuki cult will doubtless consider it scurrilous.
The Toronto left wing media will, as always with any conservative message, just ignore it and pretend that anyone who doesn’t join Margaret Atwood in trying to ban the Sun News Network is just a hayseed from the “Ozarks” of Ontario.
On the other hand, those of you who have acquired the full wisdom and elevated sense of understanding that every true conservative thinker possesses will stand up and cheer!
If you are a Conservative or at least conservative-
minded you will be rolling on the floor with
laughter before you get very far in this book.
Liberals and NDPers not so much!
The Gore/Suzuki crowd will go absolutely nuts!
As usual, Lowell Green, one of Canada’s bestselling authors and a leading broadcaster, hits the nail right on the head. As you will read here, the number of truly magnificent screw-ups the granola-crunching, tree-hugging, thug huggers have plunged us into over the years is truly amazing.
Thank heavens, with people like Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan, Giuliani, Merkel, Harris, hopefully Harper, and maybe even Cameron, there’s almost always been a clear-thinking, fearless, principled Conservative or conservative thinker to rescue us from left wing lunacy and economic chaos!
Fresh from the incredible success of his last book, Mayday! Mayday! Curb immigration. Stop multiculturalism. Or it’s the end of the Canada we know!, Green unleashes a firestorm of wit and wisdom with this book that is bound to delight, titillate, entertain and educate all who don’t believe group hugs and long walks on lonely beaches with our enemies will solve all the world’s problems.
If there’s any doubt in your mind whether you should buy this book, a dandy little quiz in the foreword provides guidance and hopefully assistance to prevent severe trauma to delicate liberal and socialist sensibilities!
NIGHTMARE WARNING! DO NOT COMMENCE
READING THIS BOOK BEFORE COMPLETING THE
QUIZ IN THE FOREWORD! VERY IMPORTANT!

It’s a proof. A proof is a proof,
and when you have a good proof,
it’s because it is proven!

However beautiful the strategy,
you should occasionally look at the results.

Foreword
Forget the CBC’s infamous “Vote Compass” online survey of political issues conducted during the 2011 spring election campaign. If you are unsure of your political leanings here is an easy way to place yourself on the political spectrum (at absolutely no taxpayer expense). Read the following quotes from British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Then read the five statements that follow, identify which of the five you agree with, and you will have your answer. More importantly you will learn how many copies of Here’s Proof you should buy!
Here, in part, is the statement the “Iron Lady” gave to Woman’s Own magazine, September 1987:
I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand “I have a problem, it is the Government’s job to cope with it!” or “I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!” “I am homeless, the Government must house me!” and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then also to help look after our neighbour and life is a reciprocal business and people have got the entitlements too much in mind without the obligations, because there is no such thing as an entitlement unless someone has first met an obligation and it is, I think, one of the tragedies in which many of the benefits we give, which were meant to reassure people that if they were sick or ill there was a safety net and there was help, that many of the benefits which were meant to help people who were unfortunate—“It is all right. We joined together and we have these insurance schemes to look after it.” That was the objective, but somehow there are some people who have been manipulating the system and so some of those help and benefits that were meant to say to people: “All right, if you cannot get a job, you shall have a basic standard of living!” but when people come and say: “But what is the point of working? I can get as much on the dole!” You say: “Look. It is not from the dole. It is your neighbour who is supplying it and if you can earn your own living then really you have a duty to do it and you will feel very much better!”
Here’s how to grade yourself.
1.Strongly agree—you have the mature wisdom and common sense of a staunch conservative thinker and will need to buy enough books to supply every neighbour who ever littered their lawn with a Liberal, Green Party or NDP sign. Enlightenment is your
