Oooh! Shiver me timbers! Pat Martin used the word “Fuck”. Wow! Not like he the first politician to use it publicly. Remember Senator Nancy Ruth’s shut the fuck up moment? And another, more forgettable moment from John the pitbull Baird? Yes, we do let them slide, don’ t we?

We all have been hearing that Stevie Spiteful and his puppets have been doing all to curb debate on the motions they’ve been pushing in the House of Commons since their majority. Everything from scrapping the Canadian Wheat Board to that hideous dumb on crime omnibus bill, using every excuse known to man . . . → Read More: What’s The Hurry, Stevie?

Three Thoughts on the Greek Debt Crisis

1. Just wondering. If the Greek people are being asked to make extraordinary sacrifices to resolve a crisis largely not of their own making (see here, for example, on the mythology surrounding the Greek debt crisis, which — dare I say it — has a lot of vaguely racist shite about lazy southern . . . → Read More: Three Thoughts on the Greek Debt Crisis

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!

Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

Not to mention, no doubt, things to drive American Homeland Security Batty and drive the McCarthyist Tea-bagger paranoid types off to the fainting couches. Norway’s response to the recent terror attacks, quite different from Dubya Bush’s “We’ll smoke ‘em out!” vengeance speeches following 9/11 or those crazy security measures like airport body scanners . . . → Read More: Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

Apparently, voter apathy was not restricted to the young at the 41st election. Below are the numbers broken down of the wall of shame known as the non-voters:

18 to 24 years old: 29.9% 25 to 32 years old: 30.8% 35 to 44 years old: 27.5% 45 to 54 years old: 29.1% 55 . . . → Read More: Excuses! Excuses!

Another David Emerson?

According to Mark Dunn of the Toronto Sun, it’s perhaps a reality. He speculates that a Stevie Spiteful may well have dangled a cabinet post to a Liberal in exchange for a floor crossing. Yes, I know, Mark Dunn wrote a rather deplorable column earlier (not linking to it). And yes, I generally . . . → Read More: Another David Emerson?

When a Conservative Senator From Blue Alberta Urges Canadians To Vote Liberal…

Perhaps it’s time to take notice of Stevie Spiteful and his puppet. Senator Tommy Banks is urging Canadians to vote Liberal for a number of compelling reasons.

What am I saying? I don’t think I do know any better! I really believe ol’ Tarek “I’m going to kick Jihadi Ass” Fatah, the Muslim McCarthyist,( he, who doesn’t think Muslims should be working for the Toronto Police Force, apparently) is shilling for the Harpercons.

Gilles Duceppe calls Stevie Spiteful a liar.

“He lied,” Duceppe said, recalling a 2004 meeting in a Montreal hotel room to hammer out the details of an agreement to replace the then-Liberal government.

And yanno how Stevie points out how second place finishing (losers) parties shouldn’t form coalitions? Duceppe points out how, once . . . → Read More: Glad Someone’s Bringing It Up! Good Work Gilles!

Democracy Is a “Distraction” and a “Liberal Game”

That is what Stevie Spiteful and his pitbull, John Baird seem to be sayin’. Let’s tune in:

“We have debates in Parliament all the time. The Speaker rules. You win some, you lose some. If you lose, you comply, and that’s what we’ll do,” Harper said in Toronto.

Sorry Guys, Margaret Wente is Right. Almost.

Margaret Wente’s Globe and Mail column of a few days ago — “Do you belong to the Elites? Take this test and see!” — caused a bit of a stir on this blog and other places.

Will There or Will There Not Be an Election This Fall? Who Would Want It, If Anyone At All?

Both EKOS and the usually Harpercon friendly Ipsos-Reid polls have Harpercon numbers slipping and those of the Liberals rising somewhat bringing them to a near tie with, of course, the Harpercons hanging on to a slight advantage.

Something We Can All Get Behind…But How Long Will That Last?

It seems that a new Facebook group created by Harpercon blogger, Derek Fildebrandt no less, is once again getting Canadians together from all political stripes, it would seem, for now, anyway.

This is more than happy news. This is relief! Many of us, including your’s truly, were starting to lose faith in Speaker Milliken for all the time he took. Not to mention, we believed that he would never risk his career to vote against the Harpercon regime.

President Steve? King Stephen?

I caught the pessimistic musings of Canadian Cynic this morning where he sees Speaker Milliken as a failure for not having handed down his decision regarding the Afghan Detainee documents to parliament. He is probably right, unfortunately. He is not alone. On yesterday’s Question Period, both Craig Oliver and Jane Taber both agreed . . . → Read More: President Steve? King Stephen?
