With the support of the people and this pickaxe, we cannot fail. On a day that saw widespread vandalism and violence in which windows were shattered, paint was splashed to deface property, rocks were thrown at police and even included a pickaxe-wielding zealot, it seems for many in the Quebec

Leftist Jab: Take The "Guess The Auditor General Report" Quiz: Chinook Helicopter or F-35?
Peter MacKay: Why does Rona get everything? Rona, Rona, Rona! Between the complete ignorance of the desolate living conditions found in the First Nation reserve of Attawapiskat, the suspected widespread election fraud and the misleading of Canadians of the estimated costs of the F-35 fighter jets to the tune of
Continue readingLeftist Jab: "If there was ever a Northern Alberta budget, this is it." Rona Ambrose
Symbolically, Parliament has already moved to Suncor’s plant in Fort McMurray. “The West wants in”! Substitute “West” by “Conservative Alberta” and this budget illustrates just how far “in” they are and how they’ve thrown everyone else out. As Rona Ambrose expresses quite clearly, there is very little relief for much

The New Democrats have a new leader. (h/t Jamie Masse) The future of social democrats has been chosen and it is a bearded one! Thomas Mulcair will lead the NDP as head of the Loyal Opposition. Despite some skepticism by New Democrats, I suspect the Outremont MP will win them

Denis Lebel’s formal salute to union workers involves another finger. When Air Canada passed off its maintenance jobs to Aveos in 2011, there was a significant outcry about the move. Nobody at Air Canada wanted to go to Aveos which had financing issues as late as 2010. They were told

Julian Fantino of February 13th, 2012 hates Julian Fantino of March 13th, 2012 Julian Fantino has been unequivocal: anyone that questions the purchase of the F-35 fighter jets hates Canada. Let’s sample some of his statements praising the F-35s, shall we? The Government of Canada determined that the F-35 is

Ideas that won’t die: are you ready for a third referendum? Stephen Harper is Pauline Marois’s greatest political ally. How else do you explain the Parti Québécois’s rise from political grave? After the Quebec amphitheatre debacle, the caucus departures and the old leaders chiming calling for Pauline Marois to quit,
Continue readingLeftist Jab: It’s Time To Out-Troll Dean Del Mastro
Harper Government Super Troll I give credit where credit is due: Dean Del Mastro is one hell of a troll. During Question Period on March 6th, 2012, he’s repeated a version of this statement 8 times: The opposition paid millions of dollars to make hundreds of thousands of phone calls.

As a concession to having its environmental policies dictated to by the oil companies, Environment Canada’s logo remained larger. Imagine if Peter Kent assigned a high ranking bureaucrat of Environment Canada to work with an alliance of environmental groups that would come up with environmental research and policies which would

RoboCon-zilla vs King In-And-Out in Ottawa: whoever wins, we lose. Just when you thought the 2011 Canadian election couldn’t be more fraudulent, the Conservatives have served up an old favourite from the year 2006: the In and Out Scandal Part Deux (Quebec edition)! Quick refresher: in the 2006 election, the

A “strong stable national majority conservative government” brought to you by Voter Suppression! When thousands of Canadians from all across the country get phone calls deliberately misleading them to believe that the location of their polling stations for the election has changed, I get rather concerned. When constituents of Liberal

He’s got a lot of love to give, just not for environmentalists “Terrorist action occurs when an extremist ideological group plans to carry out a violent attack that reasonably can be expected to kill people or destroy property,” (italics mine) said Michael Patton, Vic Toews’ communication director in an email

A “strong mandate” to bankrupt Canadian zoos. For a species that is world-renowned for their lack of sexual appetite, Canada is going to find out what other nations have discovered already: pandas love to screw with your budget. “If we can’t renegotiate, they absolutely will go back,” said Dennis W.

Fantino had to relinquish his Canadian pin and gave it to the tape recorder A cassette tape recorder – technology 30 years old – has made Conservative MP Julian Fantino’s job redundant. “There’s just no point in having him around when we have a tape recorder available. The Canadian taxpayer saves

It may save lives so it’s ethical and hence why we call it “Ethical Torture” I really wanted to blog about heart disease champion Leona Aglukkaq deciding that reducing the amounts of trans fats in the Canadian food supply – which increase the risk of coronary heart disease more than any other macronutrient – was out

Pictured: Ditchburn (left) and Levant (right) Who knew Canadian Media Twitter Wars could be fun? Who knew that was even a thing?! Well it is. And it’s spectacular! Let me set the scene. Jennifer Ditchburn, who works for the Canadian Press, writes a story about government bureaucrats posing as new

Sun News Oath of Citizenship Ceremony There’s nothing quite as inspiring and patriotic as watching Canadian bureaucrats fake the Oath of Citizenship for a Sun News photo op and propaganda news segment. It was Jason Kenney’s staff that “directed departmental officials to add a last-minute citizenship ceremony at the network

Foreign Radicals With so many charitable groups out there, it’s hard to know which ones will make the most out of your donations. With that in mind, Stephen Harper has given out his list to help environmentally-conscious Canadians with their charitable contributions. The list includes:Ecojustice ForestEthics Living Oceans Society Raincoast

Is Peter MacKay feeling the pressure? The Minister of National Defence has put the squeeze on the Canadian military’s balls. In this case, they were orange stress balls. The military wanted 20,000 of them but Peter MacKay quickly nixed the purchase when news of this was made public. He didn’t

Justin Trudeau’s training regimen. On March 31st, 2012, Justin Trudeau will likely be splayed out on a boxing ring, concussed and bleeding, wondering what happened. That’s because he agreed to fight Patrick Brazeau, 37, in an amateur boxing fight. Brazeau is mostly known for being the youngest senator currently serving
