Julian Fantino: once a dirty cop, now a dirty politician The dishonourable Julian “Mussolini” Fantino, Canada’s minister of international cooperation, was recently busted for ordering a pro-Conservative propaganda letter (signed by him) to be published on the website of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), a non-partisan federal agency. After

The Ranting Canadian: Canadian provinces cooperate in order to save money
Canadian provinces cooperate in order to save money: Canada’s provincial and territorial premiers have worked out a deal to buy six generic drugs in bulk, which will save us an estimated $100 million. Imagine that, politicians from across the country working together for the common good! In today’s divided and

According to The Canadian Press: “Statistics Canada says the country’s trade deficit with the world ballooned to $2 billion in November from $552 million in October as merchandise imports rose 2.7 per cent and exports fell 0.9 per cent.” But, but … the Harper Conservatives keep telling us (despite all

Murray Can Lead Canada Forward | Chris Wattie, Reuters (via National Post) For almost seven years, Stephen Harper has been the Prime Minister. Canadian progressives unite in their call that “we can do better” and yet, little is done to meet actions with words. In the New Democratic leadership race,

I don’t know of any political leaders in the English-speaking world who have had more protest songs written about them than Margaret Thatcher, but that record may eventually go to Canada’s Stephen Harper by the time his reign of errors is over. Harper and Thatcher are cut from the same

Let’s face it; the party’s over. The corrupt and hypocritical Western capitalist systems — propped up by society-wide Ponzi schemes — are in free fall, and the majority of us don’t have any parachutes. Meanwhile, most of the politicians waste their time arguing about the shapes of the clouds they

Fuck the USA!* *and to be fair, fuck Canada for allowing the Harper Conservatives to drag our country through the muck, down the same failed, destructive and suicidal path as our neighbours to the south Yeah, I know there are many good and decent individual Americans, and I acknowledge that

This is a song by Brat Attack, a punk band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. I don’t think they like Canada’s prime minister very much. The lyrics are as follows: Fuck you Mr. Stephen HarperYou fascist white bred bible thumperIt’s not OK to be anti-gayI think Mr. homophobe needs some dick today

Fuck Tim Hortons, Fuck HD Mining and Fuck the “Temporary” Foreign Worker Exploitation Program! Tim Hortons coffee sucks. So do their labour practices, as do the labour practices of HD Mining and most of the other employers who participate in the Conservative temporary foreign worker exploitation program. I used to

The Honourable Charlie Angus, New Democratic Party (NDP) Member of Parliament for Timmins-James Bay, recognizes the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion’s contribution to the fight against fascism in the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. The Mac-Paps volunteered to fight the fascist forces of Spain, Italy and Germany as part of the

Harper hates me, Harper hates you, Harper hates all of us Stephen Harper hates Albertans. That statement may shock and confuse many of you, but the longer that Harper has been prime minister of Canada, the more obvious it becomes. I’m not sure if I’m the first to suggest that,

Rex Murphy is a high-paid troll with an extensive vocabulary. Murphy’s latest predictable, propagandizing public love letter to perpetual politician Stephen Harper is simply sickening to anyone who has been paying attention to what the HarperCons have been doing to their country. The snobby, elitist, preachy pundit must genuinely believe

As you know, we have been very clear. We told them we wouldn’t accept our MP pensions (back when we were called the Reform Party). We promised them honest, open and accountable government. We promised we would create jobs. We just neglected to say that those jobs wouldn’t be for

This is a video by the ShitHarperDid crew that criticizes Stephen Harper for hypocritically butchering John Lennon’s song “Imagine” (and exploiting a young girl for partisan political purposes) in a crass publicity stunt a few years ago. He is a terrible leader and a horrible human being. R.I.P. John Lennon, October

Imagine there’s no Harper … That day cannot come soon enough. It’s an unjust world in which people like John Lennon, George Harrison, Jack Layton and millions of others die before their time, but malicious scumbags like Stephen Harper are still healthy enough to carry on ruining people’s lives. R.I.P.
