Harper’s government is guilty of projection if nothing else. Yesterday’s article in the Ottawa Citizen clearly points out how foreign interests have taken ownership of the oilsands from the inside: Defenceless: Canada has no idea what foreign activity… But what Harper and Oliver inadvertently opened up was a nasty and troubling

Canada II: Hacks and Douchebags
Well, well, well. It gets more interesting all the time.
Here we have a hack writing an opinion article who’s real purpose is to blame unions for the ills facing our economy in terms of the Caterpillar situation.

In a fit of pique I was searching for the concept of recalling the government or at least an MP. I found an article discussing this concept and how it might strengthen our democracy. Giving it a read I realized it seems like a very good idea. For example, when

Well, south of the border Mitt Romney released his tax records.

Guess what, everybody is discussing whether or not capital gains taxes should be at a higher rate or not. Of course, we have the usual douchebag economics arguments:

I have no argument with the vast majority of mainstream economic theory. In fact I will quickly suggest that I understand and agree with the following items: Competitive advantage: trading partners generate higher overall productivity via trade. Free market efficiency: free markets are very efficient at allocating capital between profitable

Gwynne Dwyer is obviously wondering why world powers are clinging to so much military capacity.
Defence Budgets and Cave Men
For the first time in history, NO great power is planning to attack any other great power. War between great powers became eco…

In fact, Warren’s column essentially does the same thing it decries: Stop Whining about Political Impudence They’re doing to Rae what they did, so successfully, to Stephane Dion and Michael Ignatieff: They’re shaping impressions about Rae before Rae does. The best strategy,

Canada II: Is the NCC a Super PAC?
It’s obvious, isn’t it? If you’ve been watching American television, and who hasn’t during the recent GOP convention Olympics, you know that Super PACs are third party funded operatives who do things on behalf of candidates. They do things that candidates can’t do. For example, they can raise unlimited amounts
