The highlight of our Canada politics news roundup today is a piece of news that highlights the burgeoning culture of entitlement by public figures. RCMP Commissioner, Bob Paulson, used eight on-duty Mounties in a ceremonial role at his recent wedding here in Ottawa. RCMP commissioner apologizes for use of constables

My brain hurts. Rarely has something been so indicative of the impotence and irrelevance of the modern Tory than Vic Toews’ retribution against those who mock him. In a primo example of Conservative wastefulness and vengeful preoccupation with payback, Parliament is set today to go after that ‘amorphous’ organization known

Did Anonymous threaten Vic Toews as is being suggested? Did Anonymous warn Toews that, if he didn’t kill C-30, it would out him over his involvement with a Manitoba judge? In other words, did they try to extort Toews? Was he being blackmailed? I don’t think so. This question ran
Continue readingSo, what’s in Anonymous’ bombshell Toews video?
Early this morning, Anonymous dropped its Toews bombshell via youtube. I tried to follow the narrative but my hearing (Menieres/tinnitus) was not up to Anonymous’ echoed audio. I gave up after a couple of minutes of trying to decipher the contents. It didn’t sound like much so I moved on,

The battle to disrupt the Anonymous collective is underway. The latest campaign has been directed at Spanish-speaking activists. Spanish cops arrested several suspects earlier this week and further arrests followed in South America.

If only we didn’t have the attention span of house flies. Some 50-groups are now wading through over 5-million e-mails obtained from the self-proclaimed ‘shadow CIA’ intelligence company, Stratfor. The documents were distributed by WikiLeaks on behalf of Anonymous. One recipient was the Yes Men, a loose collaboration of some

Anonymous on MacKay: “Anonymous has been relatively civil in our videos up until now. But these statements are so absurd we must declare this a giant steaming bowl of bullshit”. Thanks to Sassy in the comments to this post, here’s a long video (9:24) from Anonymous getting into specifics about

Anonymous data dump is just around the corner, Friday to be exact. So while Toews embarrasses himself, the Conservatives and Canadians with this obsessive Vikileaks retribution, after a humble apology has already been offered up by Bob Rae, he better prepare himself for a whole hell of a lot of

The dynamics of this duo promise to be earth-shaking. WikiLeaks joining forces with Anonymous. As Cole Stryker writes over at Salon.com, we may be on the brink in a new era of guerrilla transparency: This is huge; it’s the first time Anonymous has ever cooperated with an aboveground entity, lending

Although the government appears to be backing off from introducing their intrusive new internet snooping/spying/sticking-their-noses-in-the-citizens’-private-business bill, today Anonymous once again takes to YouTube to speak for angry Canuckistanian web surfers and issue a warning… 7 Days, Mr. Toews!: I wonder how long it will be before Toews or one of
