I oppose the pipeline here in BC. I write letters, I conspire errrrr…..talk to others who may share my views. I fund other so called "eco terrorist" organizations with the meagre amount of pennies that are left after paying the bills. I read scientific reports, and use common sense in

The blogosphere and the twitterverse are alive with chatter about the absolutely stoopid statements that GOP’er Todd Akin made yesterday. Senate Candidate and Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) told a local television station on Sunday that “legitimate rape” rarely produces pregnancy because “the female body has ways to try to shut

Sun entertainment is pointing out a study that shows….That many Canadians simply do not have an emergency fund. They are not setting money aside for a rainy day.  Of course, that is where I start laughing my ass off. Set money aside…..With what? Prices go up, wages do not. Lose

Into the coffers of corporate Canada. As anyone with a grasp of reality knows. The rest vote Conservative. And let’s face facts, the Liberals have mostly favoured this approach too. This failed approach. See, corporations are not actually reinvesting all those juicy tax breaks into this country. They are not

Anyone else following the LIBOR scandal that started in the UK and is spreading like a wildfire across the global banking industry? If not, this could be a good popcorn and beer opportunity. If you can still afford those things. Libor — that’s the London interbank offered rate — represents

To bad trash.     Gonna miss her. "NOT". Not saying I am unhappy she is gone from cabinet, but it’s always women who are punished in the party of Harper, if you are male they just let this stuff ride out. See Kenney and Moore. They have pants on

Looks like it may shape up here on the Wet Coast, but I will not hold my breath. Across Canada the weather has been off by a lot from what we remember eh? Floods and fires, heat…..Here where I live we have termed the month that just finished as June-uary.

The latest Conservative scandal reminded me of another scam that has been around for a very long time. I wonder if there were badly spelled emails going around about it? Usually when it comes to the Cons, fraud and scandals are not a one off. DEAREST ONE, HELLO, MY NAME

  How many years were many of us warning that Harper and Company were not here for the well being of Canadians?   Some insisted that Harper is a moderate, he wouldn’t dismantle Canada if he got a mahjoritay. Nah, many of them said. He wouldn’t dare! We shall vote

    Today is the day. The recall election of one of the anti union, anti woman, pro corporate Koch brothers flunky governors. Scott Walker supporters are phoning those who signed the recall petition to tell them that they really don’t need to get out and vote, it’s already been

The plan: Steal errrrr…..confiscate the $55 Billion that has accumulated in the EI surplus, leaving a small percentage. Just before a worldwide economic meltdown. Then, bring in thousands of temporary workers from foreign countries. Pay them lower wages, and apply lower employment standards. Chain them to employers that may or

How far would $57 Billion dollars have taken EI here during this corporate/bank created debacle known as a "recession"? According to the NDP, the Tories eroded a $57-billion surplus in EI by putting it into general revenue in 2008, then created a new EI account which was only endowed $2

From the description under the youtube video: This is a video created by a Nigerian email scammer. You know the type. We’ve all received their emails. They usually start with "Dear Sir, I am the President of Nigeria’s financial advisor and I would like to transfer 18 million dollars into

It is always hard to see how Harpercon policies will be actualized. I am supplying an artists rendering for demonstrative purposes. Delicious!        

Hey Diamond Jim thinks that people are just too "picky" and are refusing to take ANY job, because….They are picky. Would you work for minimum wage at a shit job that doesn’t even pay the rent and food? I doubt that Diamond Jim has an inkling of what things cost

    The Occupy movement is busy all over the world today. Standing up for your rights and the rights of all those that will come after, even if you think they are a bunch of socialist pinko commies for doing so. Odd isn’t it? Our forebearers fought so hard

If you say mas-debating out loud, that is exactly what Coyne is doing today. "Libertarian" Andrew Coyne. He always strikes me as a status quo kinda dude however. And today’s fest of hearing hisself talk is no exception. His premise is that Canada’s lack of abortion laws are an item

    We have been working on a technical project for a couple weeks now. It’s coming along nicely. We still have a wishlist of things to resolve, but we are hopeful that we will get more time to put towards this in the next days. And just to say

A version of Blitzkrieg Bop from 1976. We want the airwaves…. Just in that kinda mood.
