“Let Me Be Perfectly Clear…”

By Kim, on January 27th, 2012

Our Canada is gone. Harper made that perfectly clear this morning in Davos, Switzerland. Sweeping changes to Old Age Pensions. Privatisation of science and innovation. Deregulation. MacKay signed off our military sovereignty quietly yesterday, authorising Homeland Security operations on Canadian soil, in the event of an emergency, or a terrorist attack…

Austerity for me but not for thee?

By Kim, on January 3rd, 2012

Today the news sites are jam packed with interesting tidbits about government spending and the disparity of wealth in this country. First out of the gate is the fact that CEO’s and CFO’s earned the median Canadian income by noon today.

According to a report by economist Hugh Mackenzie, of the CCPA, reported . . . → Read More: Austerity for me but not for thee?

Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

By Jymn, on January 1st, 2012

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement. The media will interpret this lack of visibility to the failure of Occupy and continue to treat supporters as dirty fucking hippies. The year of Occupy will have to wait until . . . → Read More: Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

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

We Don’t Have a Speaker! We Have a Stevie Spiteful Yes Man!

By ck, on December 13th, 2011

I honestly don’t know why people are so shocked about our adorable speaker, Andy Scheer. I always knew he would be a hyper-partisan speaker. Others speculated about whether or not he could be non-partisan, as well, despite the fact that the Harpercons would’ve preferred someone older.

And when push comes to shove in the . . . → Read More: We Don’t Have a Speaker! We Have a Stevie Spiteful Yes Man!

update to Truth in Journalism

By Kim, on December 6th, 2011

After my last post, I sent a letter to Kirk LaPointe, the CBC Ombudsman.

Mr. LaPointe,

I am writing to lodge a complaint about a story that is incorrect. I refer to the story published Friday, December 2, 2011,

We want a Provincial Election! Now!

By Kim, on November 28th, 2011

Dear Christy Clark; The people of BC want an election to be held, as soon as is possible. Your Cabinet is operating without a mandate from the people. The people of BC have no confidence in your ability to govern in our best interest. You have continually fudged budget forecasts to suit the . . . → Read More: We want a Provincial Election! Now!

Cut the Crap Christy!

By Kim, on November 24th, 2011

Our unelected Premier of BC, Christy Clark, can’t figure out why the Occupy Movement insists on persisting in their efforts. From ctvbc yesterday,

Government lawyers have already filed an injunction against Occupy Vancouver protesters, who moved Monday from city property onto provincial land – and Premier Christy Clark says demonstrators shouldn’t expect to . . . → Read More: Cut the Crap Christy!

RCMP Contract

By Kim, on November 23rd, 2011

An open letter to Shirley Bond BC Attorney General Re: RCMP Contract Ms Bond. It is my understanding that you have no plans to consider recent events in policing in British Columbia before you render your decision on renewing the RCMP contract in BC. The events I refer to, in case you don’t . . . → Read More: RCMP Contract

I Can See Lieutenant Pike Doing That

By ck, on November 20th, 2011

Indeed I think that’s exactly how Georges Seurat would’ve visualized ol’ Lieutenant Pike.

As Jymn said, he is definitely UC Davis’ answer to Toronto’s Officer Bubbles.

Other fun images of ol’ Lieutenant Pike can be found here.

Quelle surprise! Harper muzzles top dog Mountie.

By Jymn, on November 20th, 2011

It’s not enough to exhibit iron-fisted control over his own party members and the media but Mr. Harper is making sure that theConservative message is also dictated to the RCMP.

Self-censorship is almost tolerable in the ranks of one’s own party but muzzling the RCMP is a crime against all . . . → Read More: Quelle surprise! Harper muzzles top dog Mountie.

Repeat performance of Bill Blair’s Goon Show tonight in Toronto?

By Jymn, on November 15th, 2011

"I'm sorry officer, is my head in the way of your boot?"

UPDATE: CBC is reporting that Occupy Toronto has won a temporary injunctionagainst eviction.

When midnight rolls around in Toronto, will we see Bill Blair’s finest descend on those Occupiers like they did during the infamous G20 police violence conducted on peaceful protesters? Blair has not shown one . . . → Read More: Repeat performance of Bill Blair’s Goon Show tonight in Toronto?

The real class warfare: law firm representing banks and mortgage servicers mock homeless at Halloween party

By Jymn, on October 29th, 2011

This is beyond sick. It may have been a 2010 party but one has to wonder what these folks are doing this year. So bank industry, so privileged, so American.

The media and economists wonder why Occupy is happening. It’s right in front your faces, assholes.

On July 1, Conservatives booted CBC 75th anniversary tribute for a couple of Britwits

By Jymn, on October 25th, 2011

"I say dear Kate, you may want to have that growth on your head checked out."

Ah Conservatives, so in love with our country. Not! Preferring to honour war and celebrate a couple of brainless twits from some other country, rather than honour Canada’s national news and entertainment network with 75 years . . . → Read More: On July 1, Conservatives booted CBC 75th anniversary tribute for a couple of Britwits

Another step down the Conservative evolutionary scale. Sun runs homophobic McVety ad. Bonus Shaidle charm offensive.

By Jymn, on October 3rd, 2011

Conservatives have a very well defined hierarchy of idiocy. The National Post is about midway down the pack, excelling at Disingenuous, Lacks Moral Clarity and Will Do Anything to Further a Conservative Meme. Not to mention the bottom of the pack for Empathy.

Then you have Sun Media. It’s right there in the basement, . . . → Read More: Another step down the Conservative evolutionary scale. Sun runs homophobic McVety ad. Bonus Shaidle charm offensive.

Canada’s Shame

By Kim, on October 1st, 2011

We are mute with shame here in Canada. Shame for our Professional Media. Even our beloved CBC doesn’t have the decency to cover the new American Revolution. You were there for Egypt, you covered the hell out of Libya, sickeningly slick graphics and foreboding intro music and all. But when our biggest trading . . . → Read More: Canada’s Shame

Two powerful Star columns on Islamophobia. The new anti-Semitism. Tactics of Islamophobes.

By Jymn, on September 18th, 2011

Haroon Siddiqui hits these columns out of the park. Much needed to be said but our media has been reluctant to shout out the obvious.

Just as the Muslim world turned against the U.S. and Europe, Americans and Europeans turned against Muslims, including their own minorities, nearly half of . . . → Read More: Two powerful Star columns on Islamophobia. The new anti-Semitism. Tactics of Islamophobes.

Professor: Harper most powerful executive in the world; there is nothing to restrain him

By Jymn, on September 11th, 2011

Astute observations about Harper and how he has complete domination over our laws and government.

Ralph Heintzman, a professor at the University of Ottawa and head of the federal Office of Public Service Values and Ethics, says Canada might just have the most centralized political system in the world.
