Could this ex cop be julian fantino? He’s an ex Toronto cop, and scummy to boot! At any rate, the smear job on Jack Layton, which by the way, Orwell’s Bastard has done a bitchin job covering, does reveal the contempt certain cops have for those less fortunate. It could

Enormous Thriving Plants: Unsurprisingly, Canadian birther is…
…still birthering. Like Iraqi WMDs, a priori commitment to a claim always seems to trump (pun intended) reality for people like “Canadian Sentinel”, “WorldNetDaily”, and a goodly dose of FOX News fans. These kinds of things continue to say a lot about their critical thinking skills & reasoning.

Bob Rae asks you to take a second look at both the Conservative and NDP platforms. Take your time especially with the NDP list of promises. They don’t make any sense. NDP platform here.

Nothing like the NDP’s polling numbers going up to prompt nervous conservative MPs to go off their rockers. I particularly loved listening to 650 CKOM’s uncritical echoing of that nonsense all day long. Gotta love the “liberal media”. The NEP? Does Gerry Ritz and his Conservative Party confederates really think
Continue readingKen Chapman: Is Layton the New Nenshi?
Watching the last minute rise of Jack Layton in the polls for the election on Monday reminds me of the Calgary civic election last October. What we saw then was Naheed Nenshi, an “also-ran” candidate with little hope of success, turn the election for Mayor into a rout and rejection

(Billy’s Elliot (the 2000 movie) ends with Billy finnally taking the stage to perform the lead in Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake).

At the beginning of this campaign, it seemed as if nothing much would change significantly. We all assumed the Conservatives would form government again, and the Liberals would once again be the official opposition. But if you were to ever tell me the NDP would pass the Liberals and attempt

Yes, yes, yes! Thanks Jenn for speaking out on what needs to be said for Canada.

The latest offering from Conservative candidate in my riding, Stella Ambler, is telling us that you must have an MP in government in order to get dollars to the riding. Here’s the line: As Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s Chief of Staff in the GTA, I saw first-hand how much more

Not only has the NDP have the best ads, best candidates, best policies for Canada, they also have the best supporters: Thank you Geoffrey the Giant.

Thing is, we (the people) don’t need a majority. With absolute power comes corruption. We need men and women, the left, right and centre, to represent our various needs, our diversity, and what is right, fair, just and good in Canada. An accountable, transparent, honest government won’t come without all
Continue readingEnormous Thriving Plants: John Gormley echos disingenuous CPC rhetoric on coalition governance.
Failed-conservative-politician turned radical-right-wing-radio-host used his regular column space in the Saskatoon Star Phoenix a few days ago to (surprise, surprise!) regurgitate Stephen Harper’s ‘coalition with separatists’ rhetoric. The problem with cynically exploiting ignorance over Canadian parliamentary governance is that it becomes less successful over time. People brush up on their

If I can maintain the passion, there is more to come. Thanks for the support, Brenda.

Thank you for this ‘honest’ blog.

Hi Ted – somehow I don’t think that we need a joining of the two parties. If anything, we should work on preserving the two as separate parties since they do have different visions. With the Green Party as a fourth vision we move to a future of perpetual minority
Continue readingComment on A Polarized Canadian Electorate by Ted Chartrand
Yes, an excellent summation of where we find ourselves today. I too have the same concerns about the NDP but I think the saving grace is the fact that, if, and that’s still a big if, they form government, they will need to rely on the Liberals to support them.

Hamas and Fatah to join. All terrorist Hamas supporters are now pardoned here in Canada; OR, all Canadian Fatah supporters are now home-grown terrorists! Stupid politics we have here. .

If Mr. Trost had his bronze-age way, Canadians might face similar nightmares. How many more extremists like Mr. Trost does Harper have sitting in the benches behind him, quietly waiting for the opportunity that a majority government would create for them?

“Folks, this is gonna be a thing.” ~ Sun TV host Theo Caldwell Sun News Network, a channel brought to by its own sense of self importance, is the epitome of pseudo-journalism comprised of (self professed) semi-literate on-air personalities with the combined intellectual curiosity of failed Vice Presidential candidate and former
Continue readingAll Politics Is Local: Are Voters Actually Paying Attention?
Elections Canada is reporting high turnout in the advanced poll. Undoubtedly, this is largely due to the fact that the advanced poll fell over the Easter long weekend when people had time to get out and vote. I took advantage myself on Saturday, casting my ballot for Andrew Lang in
