  When the Harper conservatives tell you something, one should always look at the complete opposite for the meaning. "As you know, we have proactively reached out to Elections Canada and offered to assist them in any way we can," party spokesman Fred DeLorey said Monday night. "That includes handing

    It always fascinates me when some pro "free market" types tell us that regulations are what kills business. They tell us that it stifles innovation. How dare those commies try to regulate anything? The free market is the hand of god they say. They want the government agencies

I know. I didn’t happen to see *direct* misogyny in the posts from a couple minor bloggers who stated they think it’s a fine’ol idea to debate the rights of women in Canada. I do see the passive mysoginistic result of their uneducated and so reasoooooooooonable screeds. They are deliberately

Nope. Not a horror movie. Well, kind of. The current Governments plans for the rest of us, are the stuff that horror movies are made of. I have a long story to tell. Pull up a chair. Sit down. Make sure you close your knees. Harper has sworn, up and

I have been making these the last few weeks, and they all disappear within an hour. It’s an "evolved" recipe, and I am putting measurements to the closest I can. When a banana reaches a stage where they are too ripe to eat I toss them in the freezer just

    Honest, a study came out about the effects of transfats and aggressive behaviour.   "If the association between trans fats and aggressive behaviour proves to be causal, this adds further rationale to recommendations to avoid eating trans fats, or including them in foods provided at institutions like schools

Yesterday, we were told by the "senate" that anyone who disagrees with the Harper and co agenda is "Evil"  "anti-Canadian". So that would be all environmental groups. I am thinking their unpublished list also includes any of them Wimmins groupings and such. Not all foundations, of course, were "evil," Mockler

What do all of these items have in common? I detest them all. All the items in that list, I would rather avoid. But since we have kids, and really have no choice in the matter, I find myself there at least once a week. Now, in my little town

As usual, the usual suspects want YOU to go back to sleep. Catering to the uneducated, the ideologues and the tin foil hatters. Because in Coren-land, all is a Librul conspiracy meant to make the Conservatives look bad. And ADSCAM. Also. Talk about personal responsibility.  It’s always someone elses fault

Channeling the inner Stoopid from the Republicans in the US…. ARE YOU sick and tired of paying higher health care costs so these sluts can go and have as much sex as they want? CAFFERTY: Well,you know, the answer is Viagra is used to treat a medical condition, erectile dysfunction.

On twitter this morning, Steve at Far and wide makes the following observation: 44% believe robocalls changed outcome of election, 36% do not. That is surprising! #angusreid I am not completely sure what portion he is surprised about,  that 44% are seeing reality? (AMEN)  Or that 36% are convinced that

  As usual, feel free.  What is getting lost in all of this, is the fact that this scandal is even happening. Yes some races were tight. 31,000+ complaints? That is a massive number in this country. But some keep trying to shift the focus. They are looking at what

SUE the bastards! Too funny. RackNine Inc. and its chief executive officer Matt Meier have followed through on an earlier threat and served NDP MP Pat Martin and his party with a $5-million lawsuit Friday. The Edmonton-based call centre company that is part of the ongoing election calls controversy is

January 11th, 2012. They are contemptuous of anyone that disagrees with them, and even of the ones they have hoodwinked into voting against their own best interests. I do hope someone gets a pic of Harper with a goat and a chandelier soon. This is not going to end well,

That is technically the accurate terminology. Voter suppression is a strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising their right to vote. It is distinguished from political campaigning in that campaigning attempts to change likely voting behavior by changing the opinions of potential

Oh bloody hell, how does one even get this friggin clueless? “People who don’t have money don’t understand the stress,” said Alan Dlugash, a partner at accounting firm Marks Paneth & Shron LLP in New York who specializes in financial planning for the wealthy. “Could you imagine what it’s like

That it costs JUST pennies to make a call and spoof the caller ID. You wanna make a call and pretend that that call is coming from somewhere else? Totally doable! And most likely, done. You could purchase a card, and call…..NDP voters and pretend that you are calling from

Since the Reform party merged with the Conservatives, we have been seeing a total disregard for the election process in Canada. They became similar to the Republican party in the US in many many ways. As I have said before, they often act like a Republican franchise.  Interchangable in popular

Have you all seen the commercials on Tee Vee lately? Courtesy of the Canadian Government, and paid for by all of us. It is a very real problem which needs addressing. But as always, it strikes a massive disconnect with what is going on with the Harper Government. In real

Ok Vic. You want to play this game? Critics of a bill that would give law enforcement new powers to access Canadians’ electronic communications are aligning themselves with child pornographers, Canada’s public safety minister says. "He can either stand with us or with the child pornographers," Vic Toews said of
