Conservative Party lawyer Hamilton thinks he can get the legal challenge launched by the Council of Canadians thrown out of court before it gets rolling. If he manages this, it will be another blow to righting what went horribly wrong during the May 2, 2011 election, when tens of thousands

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: Coverup Emerges in #RoboCon
As I’d suspected MORE THAN A MONTH AGO, we’re looking at a coverup at the Conservative Party headquarters. March 6th was five days after I’d already explained to some political parties how Elections Canada investigators could quickly get to the bottom of the RoboCon election fraud by reviewing audit logs

It apparently doesn’t look like an American on a phone reading a script that’s supposed to convince Canadians to vote for a Conservative MP. Because there is a photo of that happening last election, and yet there are no charges laid, 10 months later, to enforce Section 331 of the

Whooee! Well, friends an’ foes, I recorded up another song. This one’s all about that famous liar from down east in Nova Scotia, Peter MacKay. I reckon ol’ Petey really oughta hang down his head in shame. If he thinks anyone believes his BS, he’s delus…

PRESS RELEASE OTTAWA, April 13, 2012 – Today is Day 31 of my indefinite hunger strike against Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s new draconian crime law, deceptively christened “Safe Streets and Communities Act”, formerly crime Bill C10. I’m an Occupy Ottawa … Continue reading →

…It’s your Mother. Is that how the expression goes? == The Conservatives haven’t been in hot water over just one scandal lately. There are more than the average human can keep track of. If you take their screw ups, deceptions, and crimes individually, many Canadians feel they are just run

Last night I spent a little time with some Liberals to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Ralph Goodale noted a few of the other anniversaries coming up this year in his speech to the crowd of about 50 people. I was perhaps the

Centa says the questions of whether Ford improperly took funding from his family company and overspent his campaign limit are important to the provincial Municipal Elections Act, and to democracy itself. “Mr. Ford was, and is, represented by excellent counsel and we think the interests of justice are best served

”This isn’t about the planes, in other words, or costs, or accounting. This is about accountability. This is is about whether departments are answerable to their ministers, and whether ministers are answerable to Parliament — or whether billions of public dollars can be appropriated without the informed consent of either

Duhhhhr! Ooonnggg… errrrggg…. Out of the mouths of babes. It’s been an awkward delight watching Conservative spinmeisters trot out Plan A through Plan W in their Catalogue of Flimsy Excuses over the F-35 affair. Blaming bureaucrats didn’t cut it, even blaming the other parties hasn’t cut it. One waits with

Last summer Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives demonstrated their tough stance on foreigners suspected of war crimes abroad. The suspects were rounded up, detained and deported. The sweep was the beginning of a crackdown on immigrants that also … Continue reading →

Our top Ministers of our Canadian Government are so very disgraceful. They continue to lie to us, after being caught by multiple non-partisan authorities. It’s often claimed that people expect politicians to lie, but there’s been an understanding in Ottawa that it was taboo for Ministers to lie to Parliament

F-35 $10B+ lie. Your polling station has been changed, lies. Your funding is ^NOT granted, lie. Canada is rapidly losing its honour (with a u). When our honour is diminished, we’ll have to spell it the American way, to indicate its smaller role in our national reputation. Has Canada Lost

TorStar, March 20th: Schools, hospitals and popular burger restaurants such as Hero’s and Lick’s are part of a suddenly massive beef recall over fears of E. coli contamination. The G&M, today: Veterinarians and other inspectors responsible for food recalls and ensuring the safety of Canadian meat are among the hundreds

The Harper Government is known for its zombie like resiliency. Just when you think it’s down for the count, it gets back up to bite your arm off. Zombieland was a humourous zombie movie where the main character explains the ways to survive a zombie attack. You’ve gotta have good

The cast from InSecurity. The TV show will no longer be produced in Saskatchewan. With the announcement of the axing of the Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit, we are effectively telling the rest of the film-producing world that Saskatchewan is closed for business. It’s a commonly known fact that film
