Yes, this puffy faced buffoon has been in office for a year now and how does he celebrate? Why, he begins to go into permanent campaign mode, of course!

“Three more years and I’ll be running again, that’s for sure,” he said. “I’m running, 100 per cent,” he added later. “I’m already out . . . → Read More: Mayor Fordzilla Taking Campaign Lessons From Steve Harper

Ontarians, Are You Getting a Sense of Deja-Vu?

It seems that Timmy Hudak is pulling a Stevie Spiteful. When in doubt, bring out the evul coalition bogey man!

Speaking at a Toronto hockey arena, Mr. Hudak repeatedly lumped the other two parties together and suggested any alliance would inevitably lead to higher taxes in the province. He said such a coalition . . . → Read More: Ontarians, Are You Getting a Sense of Deja-Vu?

And Timmy Hudak Takes Exception to Being Called a Tea-Partier –Update With Video

Well, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…

Oh Timmy! If you don’t want to be referred to as a tea-partier, perhaps you shouldn’t be hiring American Tea-partiers in your inner sanctum. Yeesh!

Sometimes Conspiracy Theories Can Actually End UP being Reality

ck — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:03:52 +0000

I have been saying for awhile that the NDP numbers are inflated, perhaps artificially. Commenter Alison over at “What Do I Know Grit”, has expressed the theory about that NDP surge . I thought about something similar, actually. I’ll turn it over to Alison.

The NDP surge which was fed by the media . . . → Read More: Sometimes Conspiracy Theories Can Actually End UP being Reality

End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority

ck — Mon, 02 May 2011 02:23:32 +0000

We have no arrived at the end of the road of election 41 campaign. We have been polled, tweeted, newsed, etc. Before I go on, I would like to review all the party’s campaigns briefly.

Maybe there is something to be said for peek-a-boo campaigns? Jane Taber was certainly very complimentary of . . . → Read More: End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority

The Winner of The French Debate–Mme Muguette Paille of La Mauricie-Perhaps Canada’s “Joe The Plumber”?

While the punditry, pollsters, bloggers, media types and spin doctors all sort out as to who won and who lost last night’s French language debate, many from Twitter and Facebook have declared another winner. Not a political leader; not even in politics. The unsung heroine of last night appears to be none other . . . → Read More: The Winner of The French Debate–Mme Muguette Paille of La Mauricie-Perhaps Canada’s “Joe The Plumber”?

What Needs To Happen In The French Debate This Fine Evening

Tonight’s French language debate will no doubt have much fewer viewers outside of Quebec, but there are many Francophones in the rest of Canada who will probably tune in as well. Not to mention, the punditry will all be out observing with the help of translators no doubt and there will be the . . . → Read More: What Needs To Happen In The French Debate This Fine Evening

What’s Happening In Outremont?

ck — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 14:24:55 +0000

I had a suspicion lately that Martin Cauchon’s campaign in Outremont was in serious trouble. I see a few Mulcair lawn signs here, but none for Cauchon. I read the articles about the community in The Gazette and in other community papers and all will vote for Mulcair, although many of those people . . . → Read More: What’s Happening In Outremont?

Lucky Thing I Didn’t Book Time Off Work And Take a Long Trek To Dollard-des-Ormeaux

Well, well, well, all are not welcome at Harpercon rallies, it would appear. First, this, from a Conservative who attended a rally where he learned of folks being turned away, and not because of overcrowding neither.

I received an email this morning from a Conservative friend (not from my riding) who was . . . → Read More: Lucky Thing I Didn’t Book Time Off Work And Take a Long Trek To Dollard-des-Ormeaux

Apparently, Condemning the Vandalism on Liberal Signs is a Waste Of Time For Stevie Spiteful

ck — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:45:35 +0000

John Baird just glossed over it very quickly when asked about it by Craig Oliver on Question Period. It was bairly audible, it was so fast.

According to Kady O’Malley on Twitter, Stevie Spiteful has no time to condemn these acts of vandalism.

Could The Red Book 2011 Backfire For the Liberals?

ck — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:58:03 +0000

I’m going to play Devil’s advocate yet again, but more to the point I’m going to play the cynic here. After all, given the pattern of the daily Nanos poll, showing the Harpercons going up steadily and the Liberals going down despite good campaigning from the Liberals and a poor one from the . . . → Read More: Could The Red Book 2011 Backfire For the Liberals?

Hey Harpercons Coo-Coo For Tough On Crime: Why Aren’t You Denouncing This?

In Harpercon incumbent, young dipshit Pierre Pollievre’s southern Ottawa riding of Carleton-Nepean, the Liberal candidate, Ryan Keon had all or almost all of his signs defaced with crosshair scrawls. I see someone has been learning civility, civics and democracy from Sarah Palin. Many like myself strongly believe this is the handy work . . . → Read More: Hey Harpercons Coo-Coo For Tough On Crime: Why Aren’t You Denouncing This?

Robocop Fantino and The Harpercons Poach Yet Another Prominent Liberal In Vaughan

What is with Julie Poo Fantino and his ability of robbing Liberals of endorsements. First, in the by-election of last Fall, the former MP for Vaughan, Maurizio Bevilacqua, had reportedly endorsed the robocop in exchange for his endorsing Bevilacqua’s mayoralty campaign.

I’m back to deliver my thoughts on the rest of the province. You can refer to part 1, Montreal riding watch here.

As I’ve mentioned yesterday, Jean Charest will not be intervening in this election because of his poor reputation at this time as well as the deal he signed with the Harpercons . . . → Read More: CK’s Quebec Riding Watch Part 2–Rest of La Belle Province

This Would Make a Great Attack Ad! And a Great Song To Boot!

ck — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 02:10:53 +0000

This should cure anyone of Stevie Spiteful’s gawd awful rendition of “Imagine” from earlier today. Yuck! That was just awful! There just isn’t enough of my migraine medication in the house for that. No, I’m not sharing. If you must, go to Bowie’s Blog or Red Tory. Somewhere, John Lennon is rolling around . . . → Read More: This Would Make a Great Attack Ad! And a Great Song To Boot!

Everybody’s coming out with them. I thought I should put in my two cents. I have divided my analysis into two parts as it will be long, particularly my take on Montreal ridings. I have added some trivia, some trademark CK snark and some humour.

We all know how Stevie Spiteful loves to have his picture taken. Those who have been following us at Sister Sage’s Musings know that I have been tweeking some of those.

Je ne suis “PUCAB” d’Endurer Harper! But This AD Won’t Work

ck — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:30:14 +0000

It’s a fun ad, but sorry to say, the Liberals will have to step it up and get nastier. Truth is, nasty attack ads are a guilty pleasure for most, like disco, like Neil Diamond–they tell their friends, ‘yuck, no way!’, but behind closed doors, it’s up full blast.

I guess we should have all known we hadn’t heard the last of this Mike Harris refugee when he opened a Twitter account. So much for leaving to spend more time with the wife and kids.
