Happy 2013 to all good and decent people who deserve it. Fuck Off And Die to all enemies of freedom, justice, equality and truth. It’s a different year, but it’s the same old struggle. —————————————————————————————————— The video is for the song “Different Day” by The Rough Kutz.

Taking a break from blogging for the holidays. As the Canadian comedy greats Wayne & Shuster used to say at the end of their shows: Good-bye ‘till when we meet again.

Let’s face it; the party’s over. The corrupt and hypocritical Western capitalist systems — propped up by society-wide Ponzi schemes — are in free fall, and the majority of us don’t have any parachutes. Meanwhile, most of the politicians waste their time arguing about the shapes of the clouds they

Fuck the USA!* *and to be fair, fuck Canada for allowing the Harper Conservatives to drag our country through the muck, down the same failed, destructive and suicidal path as our neighbours to the south Yeah, I know there are many good and decent individual Americans, and I acknowledge that

http://montrealsimon.blogspot.ca: If you like my blog, you might enjoy reading Montreal Simon, another affiliate of Progressive Bloggers. I don’t know the person, and have never had any communications with him, but the blog caught my attention for its style and content. http://montrealsimon.blogspot.ca http://www.progressivebloggers.ca

This is a song by Brat Attack, a punk band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I don’t think they like Canada’s prime minister very much. The lyrics are as follows: Fuck you Mr. Stephen HarperYou fascist white bred bible thumperIt’s not OK to be anti-gayI think Mr. homophobe needs some dick today

Fuck Tim Hortons, Fuck HD Mining and Fuck the “Temporary” Foreign Worker Exploitation Program! Tim Hortons coffee sucks. So do their labour practices, as do the labour practices of HD Mining and most of the other employers who participate in the Conservative temporary foreign worker exploitation program. I used to

The Honourable Charlie Angus, New Democratic Party (NDP) Member of Parliament for Timmins-James Bay, recognizes the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion’s contribution to the fight against fascism in the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. The Mac-Paps volunteered to fight the fascist forces of Spain, Italy and Germany as part of the

As a follow-up to my “Harper hates me, Harper hates you, Harper hates all of us” column, here is the video for the song “Hate Us” by The Prowlers, an anti-fascist, anti-racist Oi! band from Montreal. The song isn’t political, but it fits with the theme of my last post.

Harper hates me, Harper hates you, Harper hates all of us Stephen Harper hates Albertans. That statement may shock and confuse many of you, but the longer that Harper has been prime minister of Canada, the more obvious it becomes. I’m not sure if I’m the first to suggest that,

I couldn’t resist posting this. According to the CBC: “A monkey wearing a miniature shearling coat and diapers was collected by animal services on Sunday afternoon, after shoppers spotted the animal in the parking lot of a Toronto Ikea store.” http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2012/12/09/toronto-monkey-ikea.html

Rex Murphy is a high-paid troll with an extensive vocabulary. Murphy’s latest predictable, propagandizing public love letter to perpetual politician Stephen Harper is simply sickening to anyone who has been paying attention to what the HarperCons have been doing to their country. The snobby, elitist, preachy pundit must genuinely believe

As you know, we have been very clear. We told them we wouldn’t accept our MP pensions (back when we were called the Reform Party). We promised them honest, open and accountable government. We promised we would create jobs. We just neglected to say that those jobs wouldn’t be for

This is a cover version by Jock Mackay (with a few updated lyrics) of the underrated and relatively unknown John Lennon song “Serve Yourself”, which is a scathing attack on organized religion. Lennon wrote and recorded the song in 1980, several months before he was assassinated by a stalker with

This is a video by the ShitHarperDid crew that criticizes Stephen Harper for hypocritically butchering John Lennon’s song “Imagine” (and exploiting a young girl for partisan political purposes) in a crass publicity stunt a few years ago. He is a terrible leader and a horrible human being. R.I.P. John Lennon, October

Imagine there’s no Harper … That day cannot come soon enough. It’s an unjust world in which people like John Lennon, George Harrison, Jack Layton and millions of others die before their time, but malicious scumbags like Stephen Harper are still healthy enough to carry on ruining people’s lives. R.I.P.

Bollocks to Christmas! I have a love-hate relationship with Christmas. What I love: *Getting a few days off work. *Having a somewhat lighter workload on the days surrounding the holidays. *Spending time with family and friends who I don’t get a chance to see very often. *Good food (especially the

Take a look at the Canadian Centre for Investigative Reporting (CCIR). It’s a very important non-profit organization that organizes and promotes investigative journalism in Canada and far beyond. Groups like this — and the reporters who are affiliated with them — are desperately needed in this era of corporate media

Tim Hudak, leader of Ontario’s opposition Progressive Conservatives, released a policy white paper this week, outlining his party’s extremist plans for the province if his useless party ever manages to slide its hands into the political cookie jar. His two main brain farts are to privatize casinos and other types
