How low can Pamela Geller sink?

Today’s Conservative: afraid of debate, emboldened by a docile media

Jymn — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:08:08 +0000

For the 13th time in nine months, the Conservatives have stifled debate on an issue important to Canadians, especially those approaching old age. "Enthusiastic support", indeed. When the public is shut out from discussion, of whose support is Van Loan speaking?

Jymn — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 01:57:14 +0000

I've been watching bemusedly - and with no little horror - the arguments waged between elite media types, celebrated authors and lowly bloggers over Stephen Harper's hint about raising the qualification for old age pension from 65 to 67.

It's all academic, literally. What's not being considered in these finely-wrought debates . . . → Read More: The Pension Plan fiasco. Who cares? There are few jobs for someone 60, let alone 65 or 67.

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement.

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.
