I get asked, often, what Sandra’s like – truthfully, she is exactly who she presents herself to be, which is sometimes a rarity in politics. Not only smart, savvy and charismatic, she’s also compassionate and kind. She always asks about my kids and in the next breath, after a warm

LisaKirbie.com: Mazza in the Globe
I have many things to say about this but due to a generous court settlement, I can’t.

Well, he couldn’t do any worse, I guess. More Jose Canseco fun, here.
Continue readingLisaKirbie.com: Brett Elsasser calls Chief Spence a cunt
Sun News posted this on Facebook earlier today, which, never should’ve been posted and needs to be taken down immediately. The racist, ignorant comments below it are a disgrace. Here’s one shameful example: We need to make an example of this jackass. Anyone with information about where he works, etc,

For the second year in a row, we’re bringing in the New Year in my hometown of Vancouver. It’s been quite a year. Here’s hoping for a quieter 2013. I’m not a big resolution maker (or keeper) but here’s a few: 1. Go to the gym more. Okay, just go

Seems one of my recent posts has offended a certain racist piece of garbage. I’m entertained by the fact that this pathetic loser – who is shunned by every media organization in the country and is effectively broke as a consequence of various libel actions – sits at her computer

But, my question is this: why the hell did she answer?

I spent the first 32 years of my life in and around Vancouver. I miss it. Not the rain, though.

You may know from visiting my site that I have some experience with this. A bad experience, but an experience nonetheless. I’m happy that Ornge has finally put a formal whistleblowing policy in place, but the principle behind it should have been there from day one. Under the old regime,

And then read about this NRA bullshit. Because, you know, putting guns in schools with little kids is a great idea.

Because they sure as hell can’t add. Can you spot the Tories’ bad math?
Continue readingLisaKirbie.com: This is not the answer
I’ve been listening, reading, watching to the various reactions to Friday’s tragic events – political and others. Aside from the formal gun lobby going silent, many conservatives are doing whatever they can to spin this global conversation away from (much needed) gun control. Like this Republican Congressman who thinks school

If you missed it earlier, you can watch it here. It is the most moving speech I’ve ever heard.

I can’t say anything, other than: I’m happy it’s finally over. I’m happy with my amazing lawyer, David Shiller. I’m shocked that I actually bumped down Ikea Monkey on the front of the Globe’s website!

Last year, a Republican Representative introduced a “Choose Life” licence plate bill in North Carolina’s GOP-dominated Legislature. At the time, Democrats tried to amend the bill to include pro-choice plates (for balance), such as “Respect Choice.” Apparently, the only choice conservatives liked was theirs. The amendments were defeated. Fast forward

I post it without comment. But you can!

My dad, Jake, has been gone 41 years today. Being only two when he was killed, I don’t remember him. Not at all. This picture was probably one of the last ones ever taken of the two of us – and I only saw it for the first time this

Now, back when the federal Liberal party controlled the Senate, if Liberals were doing this, dirty rotten Tories would’ve said they were nothing more than pigs at the trough. But now that the Red Chamber is dominated by Conservatives, I guess it’s all okay. Oh, and last month it was
