How perfectly appropriate. We should replace the maple leaf on our flag with it.

Let the pesky redskins die.

Shamelessly stolen from Mattt Bastard’s place:

The City of Ottawa—my home—could use a good Spring cleaning. Not only are we blessed with one of the most uncontrolled and brutal police forces in the country, we also enjoy the ministrations of a peculiarly robotic by-law enforcement regime that panders to flakes and chronic whiners without, it seems,

Ah, the pleasing sound of another mask dropping. In fairness, John Derbyshire is not new at this, but he’s never been quite so…unvarnished before. Derbyshire is the man who in 2001 called for the killing of Clinton. That’s Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary, at the time not even

“There is no moving on from a lie this big.” So concludes a magnificent article by Postmedia journo Michael Den Tandt about the F-35 scandal, although the word “scandal” in this instance seems utterly insufficient. It doesn’t begin to cover the duplicity involved, the deep political corruption, the incompetence and

Unsurprisingly, Hassan Diab has been ordered deported by Justice Minister Rob Nicholson. He’s the Carleton University sociology professor accused by a crusading French magistrate of involvement in a horrific synagogue bombing in Paris in 1980. I’ve blogged about this on-going travesty of justice here and here and here and here

It’s just never appropriate, is it? Let’s take the two Canadian “free speech advocates” pictured above, Marc Lemire and Paul Fromm, as a case in point. I may have spoken too quickly about these gentlemen. But the kindly white folks over at Free Dominion have turned me around. Look, we’ve

While Harper’s Indian agent is vacationing in Hawaii, students studying off-reserve have had their funding abruptly cut off, leaving them without money for food, rent and expenses. And so the war against this First Nation continues. If Attawapiskat refuses to bow to the Great White Father’s $20,000 a month “third

The Harper government, contrary to recent media coverage, did not kill the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development, aka Rights and Democracy. It died two years ago, after its then-President, Rémy Beauregard, was hounded to his death by an assortment of Harper appointees bent on destroying him and

The killing of Trayvon Martin went viral a few weeks ago. It took a national furor, in fact, to kick-start Florida’s dormant justice system. After mounting public outrage, a special prosecutor was appointed by Governor Rick Scott nearly a month after the death, and there will be a grand jury

…but tell that to the gender fascists in various US jurisdictions busy jailing women who can’t fight back. Read this article to learn what these male supremacist sado-politicians are up to as I write this. In parts of the US, the Republic of Gilead has already arrived. Item: a despondent

No, I mean literally. Now it seems that the Harper government decision to buy these fabulously costly pieces of junk has run into strong headwinds. Unsurprisingly, ordinary, sane Canadians want nothing to do with this combination of diseased white elephant and boondoggle. But we can always count upon instant Harper

The all-pervasive grip of American paranoia is seeping across its own borders once again. Are you a Brit planning a vacation in Canada or the Caribbean? Even though you’d be miles from American airspace, you can be turned away at the airport because you are on a US “no-fly” list,

All of the essential elements of unrestrained capitalism are brought together in an excellent, un-put-downable read from Mother Jones’ Ted Genoways. It’s a few months old, but nothing has changed since. This saga of the savagery of Hormel Foods is a microcosm of how The System works, a harrowing account

The New York City Department of Education wants to avoid the user of certain words or phrases on standardized tests if “the topic is controversial among the adult population and might not be acceptable in a state-mandated testing situation; the topic has been overused in standardized tests or textbooks and

The racist Right, scrambling to defend the killer of unarmed Black teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, has just taken a knockout blow. It’s all over for George Zimmerman, or it should be by now. The Internet has been alive with commentary from the Usual Suspects accusing progressives of “rushing

Hatemongers defending the bullying of GLBT high school students assembled at Queen’s Park yesterday to tell the Ontario government and the world how creeped out they are by faggots. They were joined by close Stephen Harper advisor Charles McVety, who apparently never met a gay person he didn’t want to

The strategy was simple: prepare us for an attack by chainsaw-wielding maniacs—then just slap us around a little and break a few fingers. Folks will still sigh in relief, or so the Harper government is hoping with this year’s Spring surprise. Taking a well-aimed swipe at the Liberals, Finance Minister

…and blogging here will be light: I’ll be in the journo lockup shortly, and will remain there incommunicado until Finance Minister Jim Flaherty rises to begin his speech in the House. As is typical with the Harper regime, favourites are being played even here. There is a second lock-up, one
