For a long time Pierre Poilievre was able to peddle his dangerous nonsense, while the media looked away, or focused on the size of the crowds he was attracting. But not any longer. Now he is being ridiculed for preaching the Gospel of Bitcoin, just as the crypto currency crashed. He has

I still remember how disappointed I was when Jason Kenney resigned his seat in the House of Commons, after stinking out the joint for years. Only to be greeted like a conquering hero by the rednecks in Alberta, and create a new far right party even more disgusting than the Cons. But

It's almost too good to be true. Like a Con version of the story of the Hare and the Tortoise.  Pierre Poilievre gets off to a flying start, leaves the other leadership candidates in the dust, only to run into a brick wall.  And have his campaign start to fall apart.

I had vowed not to watch another Con leadership debate again, but when the time came I couldn't resist. And I'm glad I did watch it. Because it was the worst and most mediocre debate I've ever witnessed, more like a low budget game show than anything else. And their decision

It would be hard to imagine a more grotesque spectacle. The malignant fascist dwarf Vladimir Putin presiding over Russia's annual Victory Day parade. And lying like a thief. Claiming that his mighty army invaded Ukraine because the Ukrainian "Nazis" and their NATO accomplices were planning to invade Russia. As well as

I missed yesterday's Con leadership debate live on TV. I forgot it was on, and by the time I remembered it was over. And for a while I was sorry. But then I discovered that I could watch the whole debate on YouTube. And then I was REALLY sorry. Read

It's an American nightmare. A threat by the U.S. Supreme Court to deny women in that country the right to control their own bodies. It's a nightmare for all Americans who don't believe that religion shouldn't be telling anyone what to do, about anything. And in this country it's also a nightmare for

They made it sound like Attila and his Con barbarians were about to invade Ottawa. Again. This time riding monster bikes, instead of driving monster trucks. And with a new/nouveau slogan: "Freedom with Jesus." But still determined to destroy vaccine mandates AND Justin Trudeau.  Fortunately, The Rolling Thunder Blunder invasion

It was one of the ugliest protests in modern Canadian history. The invasion and occupation of Ottawa by far right truckers bent on overthrowing the Liberal government. They blocked the streets around Parliament Hill for almost a month, honking their horns day and night, terrorizing residents, and along with their

There are about a thousand things I would rather do than write another post about Pierre Poilievre.  But I feel I have no choice because our shabby Con media is letting that ugly fascist get way with murder. And has not even bothered to challenge some of the dangerous nonsense

Pierre Poilievre has always been a grotesque Con man, who lies like a thief, and thinks he can get away with anything. He claims he stands for FREEDOM or FREEDUMB. Even though during the dark days of the Harper regime he tried to suppress the votes of millions of Canadians,

In the Toronto waterfront neighbourhood where I live, Spring is finally making its presence felt.  So I was feeling great the other day, and dreaming about the even sunnier days ahead. Then I remembered that Pierre Poilievre was holding a rally that evening, just TWO blocks away. And my day clouded

Last year this poster caused a bit of a scandal, when some people accused Pierre Poilievre of pandering to social conservatives by suggesting he could rise from the dead like Jesus. So this Easter, he changed the wording to "Christ has risen." But sadly for us, and Canada, the change came

It was the largest Pierre Poilievre rally ever. About 5,000 people come out to support his kooky campaign to become Con leader. And our shabby shuffling right wing media was so wowed, some of them are now even predicting that Poilievre could become Prime Minister.  But don't worry it was

When the so-called Freedom Convoy invaded Ottawa Pierre Poilievre was there to welcome them with open arms. He supported them, he defended them, he brought them coffee and donuts. He started using the word "Freedom" all the time, to let the hairy honkers know that *wink* *wink* they had a real friend

Pierre Poilievre has been setting a frantic pace in the Con leadership race, and seems to be easily outpacing the other candidates. As Stephen Harper's former flak Andrew MacDougall recently wrote:   In case you hadn’t noticed, Poilievre has been pulling enormous crowds as he tours the country in support

In the midst of all the destruction, it should have been a celebration. A moment to celebrate having driven the Russian invaders out of several villages on the outskirts of Kyiv. But then the Ukrainian army discovered what Putin's beasts had been up to during their occupation of villages like Bucha. And

In my last post I wrote about how the far right religious fanatic Rachael Thomas had called Justin Trudeau a "dictator."  After consulting a dictionary and/or her Bible. It was such a kooky comment it made her look like a SoCon Carrie, getting ready to set the House of Commons

It is, or was, one of the great mysteries of the Con leadership race. Why is Pierre Poilievre always talking about "Freedom?" When he tried to suppress the votes of almost a million Canadians, in the greatest assault on our democracy in modern Canadian history. And most decent Canadians know that cruel, evil

Ever since the Con leadership race began, Pierre Poilievre has been racing ahead of all the other mediocre candidates. Pedalling furiously away, and making it sound that if you vote for him he'll become Prime Minister in September, as soon as the Con leadership convention is over. But sadly for him,
