Welcome to Harperland

By Kim, on December 15th, 2011

How we embraced hate. I was watching the CBC News this morning, Suhana Meharchand was the host. Talking about Attawapiskat, she interviewed NDP/MP Charlie Angus. Hostilely, she asked him, “What would you do if you were Minister? Throw money at the problem?” His reply showed unflappable professionalism, indicating that he would first alleviate . . . → Read More: Welcome to Harperland

Christie Blatchy Blatchford Misses John Wayne And Other Machismo–Plus Other Bonus Tracks

By ck, on December 10th, 2011

Poor Chrissie, down time from hanging around the Shafia trial and sounding “honour killing” dog whistles is proving not to suit her too much. Her latest column in the Nasty post proves as much. I guess during down time for Chrissie, she can only write so many autobiographical columns about being a bitter . . . → Read More: Christie Blatchy Blatchford Misses John Wayne And Other Machismo–Plus Other Bonus Tracks

Bully Away The Gay is A-OK, According To Religious Wingnuts

By ck, on December 7th, 2011

Religious zealots like the Charles McVetys of this world are getting more certifiable by the day as they pervert religion further. Well, now some of these zealots have really outdone themselves this time around as they are opposing an anti-bullying bill tabled by the McGuinty government, as they think it’s some weird radical . . . → Read More: Bully Away The Gay is A-OK, According To Religious Wingnuts

December 6, 22nd Anniversary of the Polytechnique Massacre–With Every Passing Year, We Seem To Keep Going Backward

By ck, on December 6th, 2011

Here we are again, boys ‘n’ girls, another somber December 6; another year has come and gone and it is time again to commemorate the Polytechnique Massacre when fourteen young women’s lives were lost at the hands of a deranged misogynist. For the two plus years since I’ve started Sister Sage’s Musings, I’ve . . . → Read More: December 6, 22nd Anniversary of the Polytechnique Massacre–With Every Passing Year, We Seem To Keep Going Backward

A Clever Creative Post Eviction Idea From Occupy Wall Street

By ck, on November 20th, 2011

As occupy encampments are being cleared out by bruit force all across the US and eviction notices have been handed out in Canada (some have been or are being challenged through the courts, many ask, “what’s next?”. Is there life after the tent cities? Personally, I have reservations, which I may share at . . . → Read More: A Clever Creative Post Eviction Idea From Occupy Wall Street

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, it looks like this is the moment many have been waiting for; the moment where Francois Legault’s fictitious party becomes a reality. He is to announce this tomorrow.

Hey, Andrea Mrozek! Why Don’t You Practice what You Preach?

By ck, on November 8th, 2011

No, not at that dreadful site, Prowoman Pro-fetus. Her other activity, as manager of research and Communications at the Institute of Stepford wifery. You, boys ‘n’ girls, perhaps know it as the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada. Yes, today, Andrea, like so many right wingnuts, has decided to have a crack at . . . → Read More: Hey, Andrea Mrozek! Why Don’t You Practice what You Preach?

Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

By ck, on October 30th, 2011

Yes, that would be the same Eric Duhaime, the one who begged the feds, not once, but twice, to somehow intervene in the construction scandal woes in la Belle province, a problem that dates decades that needs systemic changes that not even the feds can touch. That same scandal that ol’ Chrissie Paradis . . . → Read More: Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

Brigette DePape, iconic images, and Occupy

By Jymn, on October 28th, 2011

While establishment journalists muck around in muddy waders searching for a clue about the Occupy movement, condescending in their attitudes because they do not understand, I look back on perhaps a bit of the genesis of our Canadian versions of Occupy.

Brigette DePape.

Like the Occupy movement itself, Brigette’s action . . . → Read More: Brigette DePape, iconic images, and Occupy

Chrissie Blatchford–Shoot the Nurses; Ask Questions, Later, Maybe, If it Suits My Agenda

By ck, on October 26th, 2011

After reading Chrissie Blatchy’s latest scrawlings, just when I think she can’t get any nastier or more insane, she does!

It’s why, where I used to think that before I got really old I’d get me a gun so I could shoot myself, I now wonder if I won’t instead turn the weapon . . . → Read More: Chrissie Blatchford–Shoot the Nurses; Ask Questions, Later, Maybe, If it Suits My Agenda

Vote Only Once And Never Have To Vote Again! Get Future Gov’t Policies For The Unforeseen Future, No Matter Who’s Governing!

By ck, on October 26th, 2011

Susan Delacourt points this out in her blog this morning. Some examples are cited. One of which, the most obvious and recent, was in this legislation to scrap the long gun registry, those Harpercons have decided to scrap all the data that came with it, yanno, to make sure that not only put . . . → Read More: Vote Only Once And Never Have To Vote Again!

Now, Peggy Wente, It’s Not Nice to Slam An Ideological Sister Like Kathy Shaidle

By ck, on October 19th, 2011

Vintage Peggy Wente. She does prove that she is, indeed, Chrissie Blatchford’s sob sister, along with Tash Kheiriddin. Peggy, of course, misses the point of the #occupy movement. What a bitter woman she is!

“Why should artists have to work instead of just making art?”

Peg asks one occupier. Who knew Kathy Shaidle . . . → Read More: Now, Peggy Wente, It’s Not Nice to Slam An Ideological Sister Like Kathy Shaidle

Religion Has No Place in Government Subsidized Day Cares-If Quebec Government Is Striving For Secular Society, It Should Remove Funding From Any And All Religious Institutions

By ck, on October 18th, 2011

Yes, boys ‘n’ girls, Tea-baggin’ Tommy is on another rant, once again, getting it all wrong, on his show on CJAD this fine morning. This morning’s topic is how the Quebec government is enforcing a law regarding religion of any kind being taught in government subsidized day cares. Naturally, dear ol’ Tommy, who . . . → Read More: Religion Has No Place in Government Subsidized Day Cares-If Quebec Government Is Striving For Secular Society, It Should Remove Funding From Any And All Religious Institutions

Nice Little ‘Manifesto’ You Got There, But, I’m Going To Burst Your Little Bubble–You ARE Part of the 99%

By ck, on October 13th, 2011

Boys ‘n’ girls, let’s give this college senior a big hand here! No, really! They’re making it on their own without any help from anyone on very little! Or so it would appear…

Dougy Ford, Perhaps If You Actually Set Foot In a Library, You Might Learn Who Margaret Atwood Is

By ck, on July 26th, 2011

Oh, poor, long suffering Dougy Ford, city councillor, side kick to his brother Mayor Rob “Boss Hogg” Fordzilla. Always the bridesmaid, but not the mayor. He seems to be bitching about too many libraries in Etobicoke and not enough Timmy Horton’s. Oh and he hasn’t a clue as to who Margaret Atwood is.

Well, Well, I do Believe Somebody Touched a Nerve, Mr. Penninga

By ck, on July 26th, 2011

Wassamatter, Mr. Penninga? Somebody’s having a bad day, I see. Doncha just hate it when people when folks ask questions and think outside the box?

Before you have a hissy fit, I live in Quebec, and thus, not eligible to vote in Ontario and I am fortunate to live in a province, where . . . → Read More: Well, Well, I do Believe Somebody Touched a Nerve, Mr. Penninga

Royal Pains, Brainwashing of Canada, Big Shiny Distractions Supercede Democracy–Rant Alert

By ck, on July 4th, 2011

Before I continue, full disclosure: like many Quebecers, I am anti-monarchy and think it’s antiquated and a waste of tax dollars. Furthermore, like Gilles Duceppe said awhile ago, they never work and they live off the backs of the tax-payers. I have to ask, particular today’s neo-cons, who love to villify the poor, . . . → Read More: Royal Pains, Brainwashing of Canada, Big Shiny Distractions Supercede Democracy–Rant Alert

How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers

By ck, on June 27th, 2011

Assuming Stevie Spiteful stays in power, that is, and after watching both the NDP and the Liberals, this week-end, along with Stevie Spiteful’s spin machine in his media, it looks like it could well be for a very, very long time to come. Only a very sleep deprived Lizzy May seemed to have . . . → Read More: How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers
