Mike Duffy: pig in the city Canadian senator Mike Duffy, the porcine Conservative from Ottawa, has been caught in yet another scandal, this time for falsely claiming Prince Edward Island as his primary residence and subsequently billing the Canadian taxpayers for related living expenses (more than $30,000 since 2010!). The

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

by Obert Madondo | The Canadian Progressive, Jan 15, 2013: Ontario Superior Court Justice Harriet Sachs says police behaviour during the Toronto G20 protests had “the eerie overtones of the worst sort of abuse orchestrated by fascist states.” She passed the harsh verdict while ruling on the case of Eva Marie

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

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

Here’s another anti-Margaret Thatcher song with almost the same title as the other one I posted. “The Day that Thatcher Dies” by Hefner has a glam rock/Elton John/Britpop feel to it. More anti-Thatcher videos to come later when the old bag finally shuffles off her mortal coil. Here are the

Margaret Thatcher, former British prime minister, close personal friend of murderous dictator Augusto Pinochet, and idol of capitalist extremists everywhere, was in hospital just before Christmas to have a growth removed from her bladder. Unfortunately her spokeswoman said she is doing “absolutely fine”, despite experiencing serious health problems in recent

Happy 2013 to all good and decent people who deserve it. Fuck Off And Die to all enemies of freedom, justice, equality and truth. It’s a different year, but it’s the same old struggle. —————————————————————————————————— The video is for the song “Different Day” by The Rough Kutz.

by Obert Madondo: Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to tear down his stubborn wall of silence over hunger striker Chief Theresa Spence. First Nations leaders, the opposition, unions, the media, grassroots movements and individuals are urging Harper to meet with the Attawapiskat First Nation chief as her indefinite protest reaches the

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

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,

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.

Parody of the Conservative Economic Ad Scam, by This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
The real Economic Action Plan ads and website are pure partisan (and pro-oilsands industry) propaganda, under a thin guise of providing relevant information to the public.

There are three concepts to describe the positions of individuals in Stephen Harper’s Canada: intelligence, decency and Harper-Conservatism.
If a Canadian is intelligent and a Harper-Conservative, that person is not decent.
