What’s The Hurry, Stevie? Planning To Shut The Place Down, AGAIN??

ck — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:24:18 +0000

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?

To Call or Not To Call an Election This Spring

ck — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:09:05 +0000

That is what many of us are asking ourselves as well as speculating about, among, of course, other things. Frank Graves of EKOS polls tells the Hill Times that the Liberals would be ‘crazy’ not to call an election now

Grits’ best chance to ‘get rid of this guy. He’s very resilient, the economy . . . → Read More: To Call or Not To Call an Election This Spring

Stevie Will Be Back on Top and We’ll Have Only Ourselves to Blame

ck — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:57:31 +0000

I am indeed disappointed. It is a dark day. This gold medal win does nothing to help Canada, in fact, it’s made it worse. It means that St-Stevie’s numbers could easily shoot back up to where they were before prorogation and then some.

Stevie Goes Away…AGAIN! I Guess Vancouver Just Ain’t Far Enough

ck — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:23:47 +0000

Yes, Stevie has decided out of the blue it would seem, to go off to Haiti to assess the humanitarian situation on the ground and discuss the process of reconstruction with Haiti’s President René Préval and its Prime Minister, Jean-Max Bellerive.’. I wonder what brought that on? After all, wasn’t one of his . . . → Read More: Stevie Goes Away…AGAIN! I Guess Vancouver Just Ain’t Far Enough

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

Pre-Game Action Before Your Olympics, Perhaps?

ck — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:04:40 +0000

Yes, nice fun ReformaTory Games only Stevie can play, although, thus far he hasn’t been successful, has he?

Haiti became the would be perfect crisis for him but, obviously never raised his numbers, in fact, according to most polls as of late, Stevie’s Harpercon numbers continue on that downhill spiral.

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.

Montreal No Prorogue Rally Details Finalized

ck — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:52:53 +0000

Yes, they are. A short march and a rally with a few very short speeches.

I do hope that those in and around Montreal will come in great numbers despite the early hour. At least (knock wood), the weather should cooperate.

This is a non-partisan event. Everyone is welcome, no matter what . . . → Read More: Montreal No Prorogue Rally Details Finalized

When Spinning and Spoonfeeding don’t Work: Deflect & Distract

ck — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 20:49:18 +0000

That would indeed be the Harpercon Media machine’s tactics. Many die-hard Stevie supporters have swallowed the kool-aid since the earthquake in Haiti.

The corporate media machine is feverishly making sure that we see Stevie the philanthropist rather than Stevie the dictator. They couldn’t have asked for a better time for any crisis to come up.

French Quebecers Seem to be too Cynical to Care About Prorogation

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

Some should Just Leave Math for those With Know How

ck — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:22:00 +0000

I had a dilemma earlier: either wreck my page with this drivel of a video or link to the Mathematically challenged shrews Hunter or Sandy’s pages, thus, surely giving them more traffic.

I decided on neither, but will tell you all it’s at Hunter’s page, Climbing out of the Dark, if you dare . . . → Read More: Some should Just Leave Math for those With Know How

Jean Lapierre: Axe to Grind with his Former Party or Harpercon Shill?

ck — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 22:05:24 +0000

Which is it? Either? Or both? Maybe neither of the above. If so, why would you tell Andrew Carter, morning man on CJAD, that Canadians don’t care about Harper flying the coup, torturegate, employment insurance and of course, climate change? C’mon Jean, just because you may not care for these things doesn’t mean . . . → Read More: Jean Lapierre: Axe to Grind with his Former Party or Harpercon Shill?

Jack Layton Wrote Me Back!

Well, at least someone with access to be able to compose emails from his account anyway. It may even be (probably) a mass mailing responding to those who wrote to him. But, it’s something; some semblance to make us feel better:

Stevie Says Fuck Off Canada! Let’s Extend the Same Courtesy!

From A Creative Revolution. Go!

Just a thought, We weren’t hit as hard as the U.S. by Global recession that Stevie’s big buddy, Georgie caused largely in part anyway. Why is Stevie hell bent in turning us into Bush era U.S.?

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.

A Letter I wrote To My Riding MP

ATT: Irwin Cotler Member of Parliament for Mont-Royal Liberal Party of Canada

Hello,

I think most Canadians realize that the prorogation on the part of PM Stephen Harper is more sinister than last year’s. All one has to do is to read the news and the columnists. Globe & Mail‘s John Ibbitson calls . . . → Read More: A Letter I wrote To My Riding MP
