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… Canada and . . . → Read More: “Let Me Be Perfectly Clear…” Tags: Colin Kenny, Harper, Joe Oliver, Peter "pumkin eater"MacKay, the Province | Category: Capitalism, Culture wars, facism, malevolance |

 | Trackback for this entryA message from BC. Last Friday in BC, Christy Clark announced that there will be no fall election. This amounts to a bloodless Coup of our fair province. Clark has no mandate. She is unelected. She sailed into power by the grace and deep pockets of the same group of suspects that may . . . → Read More: An Unprecedented Friday Afternoon Document Dump, cont… Tags: BC Ferries, BC Hydro, BC Rail, Christy Clark, corruption, Coup d'etat, Craig James, Gordon Campbell, Harper, Harv Oberfeld, IPP's, Laila Yuile, Order of BC, Paul Martin, pipelines, Steven L.

| Trackback for this entryOK, so I was on the Tweeter today, and I was being a bit of a smart-ass (All together now: Really, OB? We’re shocked. Shocked!) about the leaders of the three main parties. Well, whaddayagonnado? Sometimes a guy’s gotta reinforce his non-partisan cred. Know what I’m sayin?

| Trackback for this entryThe disaster in Japan is, even now, putting a spotlight on the question of nuclear power and whether it’s a good idea to emphasize it in the planning of energy policy. I’d like to say something sensible, perhaps suggesting that if we’re going to talk about less expensive ways of producing energy, then . . . → Read More: Harper’s contribution to the energy debate Tags: energy consumption, energy costs, energy superpower, Environment, fossil fuel, Harper, Japan earthquake, nuclear power, oil, tar sands | Category: Dirty Political Strategies, Environmental Issues, Evolving Technology |

| Trackback for this entryYeah, yeah, I know. A coherent policy framework may be too much to expect, given the Harper government’s predilections. But one of the most important steps in building that framework is clearing away the bullshit. We need to dispense with the straw men, and the false assumptions, and the phony analogies, and the red herrings, . . . → Read More: Anyone using the term ‘bandwidth hog’ forfeits the right to be taken seriously Tags: access, bandwidth limits, competition, CRTC, data, Harper, ignorance, internet billing, market forces, Ted Stevens, telecommunications, Tony Clement | Category: Uncategorized |

| Trackback for this entryI was waiting for this. Granted, it came much sooner then I planned, but it came. Iggy has once again given his ultimatum to the Conservatives, saying that they will vote against their budget if it contains another corporate tax cut.

| Trackback for this entryDon't bother me with this now. I have principles to stand up for.
