Barely Five Minutes After He Was Announced Leader of The Bloc Quebecois, Daniel Paille is Out of The Starting Gate

By ck, on December 12th, 2011

It’s official, Daniel Paille has won the Bloc Quebecois leadership with a little over 61% on the second ballot (they used a preferential voting system). Ahuntsic MP, Maria Mourani came in second and Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapedia’s rookie MP, Jean-Francois Fortin came in third and was knocked off the second round.

I contend that this . . . → Read More: Barely Five Minutes After He Was Announced Leader of The Bloc Quebecois, Daniel Paille is Out of The Starting Gate

How can opposition battle Harper’s War Against Information when there’s no battle plan?

By Jymn, on November 21st, 2011

HillTimes:

There are an estimated 1,500 communications staffers working in ministers’ offices and departments, including 87 in the PMO and PCO.

(And don’t forget Sun Media, Postmedia, editorial board at Globe & Mail and 90 percent of the media.)

Soon after Mr. Harper won power, the Prime Minister’s staff started deciding . . . → Read More: How can opposition battle Harper’s War Against Information when there’s no battle plan?

Jane Taber and Candy Hoeppner Are Now Into Fiction: Part 1– Diabolical Wedgie Games: The Politics

By ck, on October 10th, 2011

Yes, Jane Taber is all ga ga giddy, again, for her precious Harpercons and this time it’s over her new girlfriend, Candy getchergun Hoeppner. Boys ‘n’ girls, Janie is all ga ga giddy this time because she is of the belief that Candy getcherguns Hoeppner, and she alone, is responsible for collapsing the . . . → Read More: Jane Taber and Candy Hoeppner Are Now Into Fiction: Part 1– Diabolical Wedgie Games: The Politics

Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

By ck, on June 30th, 2011

Finally, I post my thoughts about the NDP filibuster of Stevie Spiteful’s draconian Back to work legislation of locked out Canada Post workers and the press coverage it has received, along with many Canadians’ attitude toward it. I’m not only concerned at Canadians’ attitudes toward Bill c-6, but also all the misinformation that . . . → Read More: Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

Oh RG Harvie, Get With It! ADSCAM is So Yesterday, To Invoke Charlie Angus, Dracula is In Charge of the Bloodbank

By ck, on June 15th, 2011

I find it quite amusing when blogging supposiTories still hammer on about ADSCAM to this day, and there are many who do, yet they still will not forgive any and all transgressions of their treasured Harpercons. In fact, they will become like tigers when anyone dares to slam them for it. In fact, . . . → Read More: Oh RG Harvie, Get With It!

So Bob Rae Says He’ll Back Out of Any Permanent Leadership Aspirations: I Still Say Marc Garneau Is a Better Choice For Interim Leader

By ck, on May 19th, 2011

Ok, it’s official. Bob Rae says he’ll put the good of the Liberal party before any personal aspirations he may have had. A very nice cover letter he wrote to support his application for interim leader of the party, indeed. However, if anyone is to rebuild a party, the idea is to move . . . → Read More: So Bob Rae Says He’ll Back Out of Any Permanent Leadership Aspirations: I Still Say Marc Garneau Is a Better Choice For Interim Leader

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

By ck, on May 1st, 2011

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

Enough With The Civics Lessons And The Speculations Already! Wait! I Have Another Scenario To Chew on!

By ck, on April 20th, 2011

I think Iggy just handed Stevie Spiteful his majority last night while talking to the Harper brown nose of the CBC, Peter Mansbridge. It was an excercise in Gotcha Bull-shit on the part of Mansbridge, along with the rest of the Harpercon media and Iggy fell for it. Now the Harpercons and their . . . → Read More: Enough With The Civics Lessons And The Speculations Already! Wait! I Have Another Scenario To Chew on!

Once Again, Bill 101 Is a Provincial Matter, Quibbling Over Dumb Slogans And Reviving The Linguistic War As A Campaign Strategy

By ck, on April 13th, 2011

I’ve got to stop reading the likes of anti-feminist Babs Kay when I’m drinking hot coffee. I invariably end up choking, burning myself and getting it all over the place. Perhaps today is the day I learn.

Before I start hammering her, I have to ask, what was the deal with Gilles Duceppe . . . → Read More: Once Again, Bill 101 Is a Provincial Matter, Quibbling Over Dumb Slogans And Reviving The Linguistic War As A Campaign Strategy

Could The Red Book 2011 Backfire For the Liberals?

By ck, on April 3rd, 2011

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?

By ck, on April 3rd, 2011

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?

CK’s Quebec Riding Watch Part 2–Rest of La Belle Province

By ck, on March 30th, 2011

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

CK’s Quebec Riding Watch–Part 1 Montreal

By ck, on March 29th, 2011

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.

There will be a few notable differences off . . . → Read More: CK’s Quebec Riding Watch–Part 1 Montreal

Speaker Rules Against Harpercons, But…

By ck, on March 9th, 2011

There always seems to be a but in the Speaker’s rulings, doesn’t there? Today appears to be no exception. I will get to that later.

Speaker Peter Milliken has spoken:

Speaker Peter Milliken has found the Conservatives in contempt of Parliament, handing powerful ammunition to opposition claims the Harper government’s autocratic behaviour represents . . . → Read More: Speaker Rules Against Harpercons, But…

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

By ck, on February 7th, 2011

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. Polls have shown . . . → Read More: Je ne suis “PUCAB” d’Endurer Harper! But This AD Won’t Work

Looks Like Harpercons Can’t Wait For The Budget To Call Spring Election

By ck, on January 29th, 2011

According to Susan Delacourt’s latest article, one Don Burroughs received a call from the Harpercons yesterday afternoon. It even appears that a date has been set for March 29th for election day. Here’s more:

Don Burroughs said he received a call from the Conservative party on Friday afternoon and was asked whether he . . . → Read More: Looks Like Harpercons Can’t Wait For The Budget To Call Spring Election

CK’s Predictions For 2011 – Good, Bad and The Ugly

By ck, on December 31st, 2010

Some will be predictable. Some, many will chide me for being pessimistic; I call it realism, but anyway… These are my predictions. If any of my co-bloggers and contributors have any predictions, they’re strongly encouraged to do their own posts about them. It would be interesting indeed. Anyhow, on with the festivities as . . . → Read More: CK’s Predictions For 2011 – Good, Bad and The Ugly

Puzzling: The Bloc Quebecois and the NDP Questions

By ck, on December 30th, 2010

Everyone talkin’ spring election. Most had predicted it long before Iggy even said that he would more than likely not vote for it unless that F35 purchase and corporate tax cuts were removed. The Liberals had also said they would like to see something in there for Family home care. Things not likely to happen . . . → Read More: Puzzling: The Bloc Quebecois and the NDP Questions

Blogging SupposiTory Jojo Blue Like You Would Like Us All To Know She Doesn’t Want Rights

By ck, on December 11th, 2010

Yes, and she’s probably staring in the mirror at her tear stained blouse about now and thinking that the Winnipeg Free Press‘s Robert Marshall & Julian Fantino are her heroes and Justin Trudeau and his Dad are such terrible ogres. Before I go on, let’s take a look at an excerpt, shall, we?

If Fantino Wins, Then What? How Long Will The Honeymoon Last?

By ck, on November 28th, 2010

All I had been noticing from the pundits, columnists and bloggers was if Fantino would win Vaughan by-election tomorrow, it would be a disaster for the Liberals. That this could ruin Iggy’s leadership. Hell, Jim Travers paints a picture of a Harpercon momentum on a roll taking advantage of the beleaguered Liberal party . . . → Read More: If Fantino Wins, Then What?
