It isn't a surprise that the boneheads read this blog. In fact, since we were the only media that even wrote anything about their little march in London last weekend, some have been paying close attention: But then again they might not always be pleased with the coverage we provide:

Joe Oliver got a freebie from Claudia Cattaneo in the pages of the Financial Post. In an extraordinary puff piece, ‘A Battle of Canada’s Future: How Joe Oliver has become Canada’s energy pitchman,’ Cattaneo praises ol’ Joe for firmly standing up to those whom Joe finds are “inimical to Canadian

ALTHOUGH THE FOLLOWING LETTER CONTAINS PROFANITY, THE ESSENCE OF THELETTER IS TOO GOOD NOT TO PASS ALONG. I APOLOGIZE IF THE FOULLANGUAGE OFFENDS ANYONE. This guy went all out with his comments. He sounds pissed off. GeeI wonder why? I’m telling the crooked politicians the way it really is.Too many

I went to a history conference, and one of the PhDs at the front was talking about the common occurrence of silence during tragedy. And, while those around me discussed WWII, and the Iran-Iraq war, and internment of the Japanese in Canada, I started thinking more about how uncomfortable people are

So I was checking out the wifi at my new place by downloading a few software updates and got something from Norton that I didn’t want (and have since uninstalled). I find out about it when I cruise over to FreeD to wallow in teh crazy and see this (looks better when

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think the new PSAC ad attacking the Harper government’s environmental record is all that effective. The Public Service of Canada VP thinks otherwise, however, calling it “shocking and aggressive.” But, really, it’s more of a yawn. It’s about a minute too long and

Ah, Margaret Thatcher, the giggles just go on and on. There were not many people in this world that Maggie liked and a good many that she despised, among them the Irish. She even toyed with the idea of cleansing Northern Ireland of its Catholic population. Did Margaret Thatcher have

Our Sphincter of the Week award goes to Midhurst county councillor, John Cherry, a Tory of course, for his opposition to a proposal by Brixton’s Durand Academy to expand to a disused school building in Stedham, West Sussex. I’ll let councillor Cherry take it from here: “Ninety-seven per cent of

What is the biggest threat to stability and peace in the Middle East? It is not Iran, Iraq, or Syria… it’s Israel. The government of Israel – especially prime ministers like Netanyahu – are a de-stabilizing force in the region. The hard line policies of those like Netanyahu drive open

In their blind, unfettered drive to advance the interests of the Oil industry in Canada, Stephen Harper has slashed federal environmental protection budgets and put a choke hold on democracy in Canada. For Prime Minister Harper, Premier Brad Wall and Premier Alison Redford, the profit making ability of the big multi-national
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: American Taxpayers Paying the Price of Climate Change
Their Congressional representatives may dispute it, call it a hoax even, but the U.S. government is doling out big money in relief for those hit by climate change impacts. According to environmental corporate watchdog, Ceres, crop insurance payouts for last year’s drought cost every American man, woman and child $51.

RCMP in suburban White Rock foiled an apparent burglary/home invasion after receiving reports of two males trying to break into a home. The suspects took off but inside the officers found – wait for it – 8,000 pot cookies. And here are some of the comments from the CBC web

Richard Hughes- Political Blogger We need a new government after 12 years of the Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark BC Liberals. I am wholeheartedly supporting Adrian Dix for Premier and the re-election of Bill Routley in Cowichan. But, you knew that anyway, right. Here is an BC NDP promo about a dead

That’s what Bush II is advocating. The Daily Mail reports that George W. Bush, I am certain you remember him, “…told Parade Magazine ‘That’s for Jeb to figure out, you know what I mean? I would hope that people would judge [him], if Jeb were to run, on his merits and his

Assorted content for your Sunday reading. – I wouldn’t go as far as Haroon Siddiqui in suggesting that all temporary foreign worker programs be shut down entirely (at least absent some concurrent change to encourage a flow of new workers who are able to set down roots in Canada). But

All this focus on attack ads! I do not normally have much to say about Air War aspects of political campaigning. Broadcast and media aspects of campaigns are important, but they are really outside my area of expertise. What I do know is that when the public gets engaged, money

I can give you six hundred and seventy four billion reasons to believe the scientific consensus on climate change. $674,000,000,000.00 – that’s the amount the top 200 energy companies spent, just last year alone, on exploring for new fossil fuel reserves. Gee, that sounds an awful lot like two-thirds of

Many years ago, while teaching in China (Canadian history, of all things), I had a student who graduated to become one of the wealthiest men in China. Then, after he married and became the father of two children, he came to Montreal to see me and, more important, for me
