I’m hearing that Hudak was asked earlier today about his position on a woman’s right to choose. And that he wouldn’t/didn’t answer the question.
Either Hudak is in favour of women’s reproductive rights or he’s not. …

Thanks to Fern Hill for letting me know.
How about someone in the MSM asking Hudak exactly what his views are on abortion? It’s important, don’t you think?

Hudak believes government’s role is to be pro-life.
Screw the law, I guess.

Responding to a request for his position on abortion: “I believe that it is the government’s role to promote the choice of life in childbearing decisions, to encourage women to carry the babies to term and, if the child is unwanted, to give them up for adoption.” [Letter to CLC, May 23, 1995] Abortion is […]

If the thought a Tim Hudak led provincial Conservative government didn’t make you nervous before, this should make you downright scared.  There is nothing “progressive” about these conservatives.

This is total bullshit.
60% of Canadians did not want Stephen Harper as P.M.  60% of Canadians did not want a Conservative federal government.  I would suggest that Harper not get too comfortable, or too arrogant.

So we finally emerge from the wilds of cottage country and decide, on this beautiful summer night, to walk down to one of our favorite haunts for dinner. (Dinner was delicious and uneventful, in case you’re curious.). It was on the stroll back when it gets interesting… In the middle of a major intersection, a […]

We decided to get out of town for few days – traffic was brutal yesterday but side roads helped – for some R & R. And we must’ve needed it, too: I slept for 11 hours last night. It was the Best Sleep Ever. Whether it was the fresh country air or the beer, I […]

The NDP admits to using American stock photos in its platform, says it was a mistake and it won’t happen again.

So, I’m having a bit of a tussle with my landlord.  Some background: I rent a house in Toronto (in a fantastic neighbourhood) from a landlord who lives out of province. The backyard is essentially unsafe.  I’m not exaggerating – they tore down the dilapidated garage last summer and left the rotting floorboards and much […]

The cover of the NDP platform, also a stock photo. But from an American company this time. They did some work on this one, but here it is in all it’s photoshopped glory.
Check it out. And thanks to the super sleuth who passed it along.

Disgraced former governor faces up to 300 years in prison.
What a jackass.

Yesterday, when NDP leader Andrea Horwath made the crack about how women “know better than to give it up all at once,” I, a liberal, middle-aged feminist, was stunned.  So were the other women sitting with me.  ”What the fuck was she thinking,” we asked each other.  One woman suggested that it was just a […]

On the left, the stock photo as it appears in the NDP platform. On the right, as you can purchase them, too.
All style, zero substance.

The Hispanic family and the older guy with his “grandson” in the Dippers platform, all stock photos.

Yesterday the McGuinty government unveiled a new online registry for organ donation. The response was so massive that it crashed the site! I just registered – it only took about 2 minutes – and you should, too! Help save lives.

Give a guy free housing and he becomes the Tories’ new BFF. Careful Jack, your naked ambition is showing.

Around the time I started wearing combat boots, putting safety pins through my ears as improvised earrings and became perpetually sullen, I first heard Joy Division’s Closer.  It was amazing. As a teenager in the 80′s growing up in the suburbs, I had never been exposed to their unique sound before.  Amazing.  By the time […]

Ok, fair warning, not only is this not safe for work, don’t play it when your kids are around either. Or mom. Anyone, really, don’t play it in front of anyone unless you’re sure they can take it. After listening to this in the car on the way home from work and laughing so hard […]
