Giorgio Mammoliti– A Great Shirriff Roscooooo P Coltrane To Mayor Boss Hogg

ck — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 20:09:35 +0000

Yes, ol’ Giorgio Mammoliti has been really becoming unhinged as of late. McCarthyism is indeed alive and well over at City Hall. A Facebook group that won’t allow ‘commies’, although, one seems to have slipped through, but the comment has been scrubbed. Damn! shoulda taken a screen shot.

First, was his spying at . . . → Read More: Giorgio Mammoliti– A Great Shirriff Roscooooo P Coltrane To Mayor Boss Hogg

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

ck — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:56:28 +0000

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”?

I don’t get Facebook’s morality

Jymn — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 03:05:20 +0000

Facebook is full of questionable images, most recently of the Pitt Meadows rave rape (at least until authorities got on FB’s case) but it was quick to delete a page featuring women breastfeeding. I’m not sure what it is about women’s breasts that so scares people. Wasn’t the modern bra invented in the . . . → Read More: I don’t get Facebook’s morality

New Poll: Turnip For PM?

ck — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 16:29:04 +0000

Since many polls have been coming out pretty much saying “none of the above” for prime minister if an election were held today, and inspired by Margaret Atwood’s column in the Sun Media where she has specifically told readers that she, like probably many Canadian voters, is a swing voter; meaning she’ll vote . . . → Read More: New Poll: Turnip For PM?

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

ck — Sun, 16 May 2010 14:17:01 +0000

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. We all want to see the MPs expenses made public and as well they should be made public. After hearing about how . . . → Read More: Something We Can All Get Behind…But How Long Will That Last?

Not Only C.R.U.S.H. Stevie’s Numbers, but Also Push for the Coalition: This Time With Feeling

ck — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:10:26 +0000

I read Thwap’s (Thwap’s Schoolyard) post today regarding his distaste for Iggy and the Liberals. He leaves the impression that the Stevie and Iggy aren’t that much different as he refers to Iggy as ‘Harper-lite’, particularly if he becomes prime-minister as well as predicting that a minority would be the best they can . . . → Read More: Not Only C.R.U.S.H.

If The Homeless Can Do It, So Can We

A homeless man and his dog walk across Canada to bring awareness to the plight of the homeless. A Video below from Sun Media. He braves the elements, fatigue and everything else that goes along with being homeless walking for so long. But he continues the mission. He has places to be and . . . → Read More: If The Homeless Can Do It, So Can We

A Challenge Launched by Another Blogger And Of Course…Other Media Failures

Well, since the success of the rallies yesterday, many media outlets have covered this. Craig Oliver was impressed. Too bad CTV didn’t send anyone to many of the venues. I never saw them or Global TV at the Montreal event. I heard this was the case at other venues.

French Quebecers Seem to be too Cynical to Care About Prorogation

ck — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 02:57:54 +0000

Something that I had been concerned about since this all happened. An article in today’s Grope & Fail with translated sources from French language newspapers. Honestly, had it not been for my observations of apathy amongst my French speaking co-workers and Francophones in general as well as the low Francophone memberships Montreal and . . . → Read More: French Quebecers Seem to be too Cynical to Care About Prorogation

Today’s Corporate Media Hacks-Not Only Hypocritical, But Also, Sore Losers!

Yikes! Where do I start? Pale and Montreal Simon wrote articles on this subject recently. There should be a whole anthology with a mass collaboration on the subject, especially since that Facebook group grew, demonstrations are being organized across Canada among other activities being planned. All this, thanks to social media; the blogosphere; . . . → Read More: Today’s Corporate Media Hacks-Not Only Hypocritical, But Also, Sore Losers!

Well, it appears that social media is really giving a run for the money against the corporatist media.

It’s about time! For openers, the Facebook group, Canadians against the Proroguing of Parliament , is now nearing 50, 000 members and growing. There are other such Facebook groups, whose memberships are also growing.
