As you know I have long been concerned about the mental state of the Con zombie Vic Toews. And whether he’s fit to remain in office. First he came crawling out of his crypt, the one with the large bed and the mirrored ceiling, claiming that anyone who didn’t support

Like porn? You won’t like a Santorum presidency.
In another sign just how dangerous to freedom and the American way Rick Santorum really is, this statement from the presidential contender should send chills down one’s spine. Current federal “obscenity” laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops

by Katitza Rodriguez | EFF Last Saturday, the Canadian government announced it would put proposed online surveillance legislation temporarily “on pause” following sustained public outrage generated by the bill. Since its introduction two weeks ago, …Read More

LOLROFLMAO. This AR poll is the highlight of my week so far – which just started, mind you – because its just awesome. As reported by HuffPo, the poll shows that 53% of Canadians find Bill C-30 overally as too intrusive, overall, while 27% say its necessary and 19% aren’t

Uh oh. Con Zombie Alert. I see Vic Toews is going after Justin Trudeau. An angry Vic Toews wants an investigation into whether Justin Trudeau encouraged personal Twitter attacks against him after it was revealed a Liberal staffer was the mastermind of the Vikileaks Twitter controversy that aired details of

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

Anonymous threatens once again a big scoop on Toews, this time to be unveiled a week from yesterday. Is Anonymous bluffing? I doubt it.

From the proposed online snooping legislation Bill C-30 to the burgeoning scandal involving over some 10 million fraudulent phone calls made during the last federal election in 2011 by a company hired by the Canadian Conservative government, and everything in between, there is much that is currently wrong with Canada.

Scary stuff found in Section 34 of Bill C-30, courtesy of Terry Mileski of CBC: Section 33 tells us that, ‘The Minister may designate persons or classes of persons as inspectors for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of this Act.’..Section 34 spells out the sweeping powers of these

Vic Toews, you were warned!: (Text pasted here.) Oh wow. I didn’t know the mistress was snorting and scarfing at the Public Trough right alongside her Viagra-starched paramour, but am I surprised? Are you? The Toewster’s squeals and bleats about McCarthyesque investigations notwithstanding, my sense is that Anonymous might be

Gay Canadian comedian, television personality, political satirist, and blogger, Rick Mercer, addresses Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’s proposed Internet-surveillance legislation, Bill C-30, in a brilliant, two-minute video rant. A must watch for a quick summary of what the fuss is all about surrounding the controversial bill.

Actually, it’s not quite the National Post, despite some saying that. It’s actually one of their op-eds calling for the resignation. Still, I think that’s the first call I’ve seen for it, and the major surprise is it didn’t come first from the Star or even one of their writers:

In my opinion Tim Harper, a Star columnist with whom I tend to agree more often than disagree, misses the mark with his latest piece. Entitled A mean town just got a whole lot meaner, the article laments the ugliness that has ensued in reaction to Toews’ attempt under Bill

During question period in the Canadian House of Commons on Friday (February 17), Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird accused the opposition National Democratic Party (NDP) of having been caught in a “dirty, sleazy Internet game,” an allegation the NDP has denied. What Baird was referring to was an anonymous

In this Postmedia piece, the writer Jeff Davis bends over backwards to make Anonymous look as if they are sending ‘threats’ Mr. Toews’ way, an implication that in most peoples’ eyes involves some sort of violence. There is no violence in Anonymous’ ‘threats’. There is only a warning that details

There is a great site called 404 Systems Error, that functions much like Wikileaks, though with Canadian content. They have recently posted an old fundraising letter of Stephen Harper’s from 2001, when he was heading up the corporate funded activist group: the National Citizens Coalition. The NCC has always painted themselves

I’ve been watching Anonymous as it has taken on the US right-wing bully pulpit. I’ve been wondering too where is our Anonymous in Canada? In a country being overtaken by a phony religious few disguised as Conservatives intent on stripping us of our freedoms, Anonymous has been strangely quiet. If

This week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, attacked the Internet and Canadians through Bill C-30. He insulted Canadians, and threatened their right to online privacy and a host of individual freedoms. …Read More
