Our Environment minister wants Kyoto to die and wait until 2015 to make a new accord. Why not just start a new accord now why wait three years? Our Environment minister is playing in the past were it would be just enough just to say that we should talk about making an accord. While

The Happy Wanderer: Canada Moving Years Back!
With The Kyoto deadline at the end of the month Canada is in no way going to reach it’s target of 6% below 1990 levels. In fact in 2008 the only provinces who actually reduced their emissions below 1990 levels is Quebec and PEI. All the other provinces increased. I
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Democrats are Dreaming
In a somewhat strange turn of events it seems the Democrats who contiguous talk themselves as being the party that will save Social Security is now the party that quite frankly is giving it lip service. The Payroll tax (the tax that generates a lot of income for Social Security) is at
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: PQ in Hot Water!
With another PQ MP leaving the party Pauline Marois and what is left of the PQ is in hot water. Not to mention that the CAQ is now coming with what some might suspect as a knight in shining armor. Nevertheless the CAQ is just a right wing party that
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: What Super Committee?
It seems the so called committee that was going to save the U.S deficit crisis (yeah right) ended up doing nothing. And those so called triggers that would have come into effect in order to force politicians to work together was a big joke apparently, because since most automatic spending cuts

“The orange wave stopped in Manitoba,” (Dewar) Yes it’s true, but only in the sense that the west of the country didn’t fly straight into the NDP like Quebec. But there are to many things wrong with Dewar’s plan for a western strategy to get seats The NDP can’t have it both
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Economist: Universal Health Care is Good!
A new report done by top economist warns Canada that it should stay with Universal Health care. It states that although Health Care spedning is growing too fast for revenue’s the principal of a public health care system should be kept. Him like me is worried about the future of
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: High Speed Rail…. Study!
In Canada we are lagging behind when it comes to high speed rail. Europe has high speed rail and they have seen it to be very beneficial to the environment and the economy. High speed rail in Canada is profitable, and it is almost silly that we have to keep
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Sanction on Syria!
Since the Arab spring has started it is as if a big chunk of the western world all of a sudden got glasses. They realize that these countries that in many cases are being ruled by dictators should have sanctions put on them. Last week the EU joined us …
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Iran Is Developing Nukes!
It seems that that more needs to be done to stop a Iran from going nuclear. Iran is clearly a threat to peace in the world let alone peace in the middle east. Canada, the U.S and France need to continuously push for deeper sanctions on Iran. Iran who’s…

In just a few days ago a few ballot measures (Referendums as we call them hear) were voted on. In Ohio they voted to repeal the Republican governors plan for unions. In Mississippi they voted against the anti abortion legislation. These two referendums…
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Wow I Was Right!
I stated just a few post’s ago that the Conservative would reduce their budget targets. Now This time around Jim Flaherty thinks he has a good case. Saying the economy isn’t good and the budget is going to suffer. True, but why didn’t you kno…

The last of the provincial elections hora is over. It went from a Liberal win in Both PEI, and Ontario. To a NDP victory in Manitoba And two right wing parties winning in NFL and Sask. No incumbent party lost there power. In Sask the right wing party l…

Just Friday another flotilla to Gaza was stopped. The protesters don’t like the idea of a blockade and the so called “human right violations” of Israel being done in Gaza. My question is why do these protesters expand there horizon?
T…

My Co-blogger says that the fact that the Liberal party walked out in protest to the Conservatives appointment for the auditor-general was outrageous. I think so, but for different reasons. If you look at history many people d…
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Quebec Gun registry
If Harper kills the Gun registry then I would fully support a Quebec version of the gun registry. In fact if you calculate it 2 million for all of Canada about a quarter of that if not less would equal $500,000. Which is almost nothing on the provincia…

A new poll has the Liberals maybe in not so much good shape, but no where near invisible. The Conservatives are of course leading 37.7% and the NDP in second place at 30% while the Liberals are in 3rd place at 23.4%. If you compare this to the May resu…
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: The Conservative "Target"
The Conservatives like giving out baseless targets when it comes to almost anything. They like to tell us things like the budget will be balanced by 2015 even though the PMO budget office says that it ain’t going to happen. Then put on top of…
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Historic change for Quebec.
Since confederation Quebec has always held it’s fair share if not even more political power in the house of commons. Now for the first time in history Quebec will have fewer seats in the house of commons. The Conservatives go figure are abandoning ther…

The Conservatives are planning to eliminate the long gun registry very soon. ironic enough the public safety minister Vic Toews is saying that he is proud his government is eliminating the long gun registry. It’s ironic that the min…
