In a new Ipsos Reid poll on the robo-calls scandal, conducted for Postmedia News and Global TV, Canadians are uncompromising about the way forward. A whopping 68% want new by-elections in all affected ridings. Elections …Read More

Driving The Porcelain Bus: Crooks & Liars: Harper and his Conservatives and their Election Fraud
We’ve always known, via an ever-growing mountain of facts, that Harper and his Conservatives are crooks and liars. Will this election fraud situation be the addition to the mountain that will raise it high enough to fall over the wall of denial built by those gullible and ignorant Canadians who

The Manning Centre for Building Democracy (bit grandiose there Preston) is having their annual conference in Ottawa. This Conservative think tank apparently has a conference every year and for only $349 dollars you too can go and listen to how Conservatives view themselves and… ..

I keep encountering Canadians who think the illegal robocalls scandal is no big deal. They suggest that many of the ridings that were won by Conservatives, were in bigger margins than the alleged number of misdirected non-CPC voters, so there’s no need for by-elections. I could not disagree more, and
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon – Black Knight Winning
Why do reasonable people consider that only supporters of Conservatives were responsible for the illegal robocalls? It’s because of evidence like this: ““Last week I was contacted by a voter who told me she received two calls during the election campaign. The first call was a live call asking her
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon – Jones’ing for Poutine
Pierre Jones is now the alias of Pierre Poutine, the anonymous coward who’s behind the illegal robocalls that misdirected non-Conservatives, and self-identified undecided voters, away from election polls last Spring. According to Meier of RackNine, Jones used a Rogers IP address from Guelph during a mistake in concealing their identity.

In & Out scam… $52,000 fine. Repaying Elections Canada for illegal campaign rebate for overspending in 2006 by ~$1,300,000 … 230,000 dollars. Occupying the Prime Minister’s Office… Priceless. Some things in life are free. For everything else, there’s Election Fraud. This civil case took a lot of chutzpah for the

The teachers’ strike in British Columbia this week was bad for the province but good for the BC Liberals. Facing challenges from the NDP on their left and the Conservatives on their right, for the BC Liberals an unpopular labour dispute couldn’t have happened at a better time. Over the
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon: Fading
What are you kidding? RoboCon isn’t fading. This scandal started before May 2, 2011 with harassing phone calls to Liberals in Volpe’s riding (see CBC story if curious), and caught Elections Canada (EC) off guard on election day so they ordered warnings sent out in the media of fake phone
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: In And Out With Robotic Precision
This vote to limit Elections Canada’s power, was before RoboCon came to wider public light? Makes you wonder if that’s why they are dropping this ridiculous lawsuit? And they’re allegedly caught again in 2011 moving $15000.01 expenses around in another apparent In & Out scam or just as bad (or

Jack Harris, the NDP MP for St. John’s East , spoke for three hours today against the Conservatives omnibus crime Bill C-10. He resumes his speech on Wednesday as he tries to filibuster the bill. …Read More

Canadian politics in the age of Stephen Harper and the Conservative majority government are depressing, to say the least. Luckily our political satire still kicks ass. Inspired by the unraveling Robo-calls scandal, a sample: [View …Read More

Surprisingly, the Canadian government is dealing with other scandals it’s instigated. Vikileaks was the subject again today, where the Speaker ruled that Anonymous (an unrepresented collective of hackers and political activists) was found to have breached the privledge of Minister Toews who’s created the monster of a bill, C-30 (to

Read this article by Ibbitson, who tries to make the case that the Conservative’s latest defender has a good point. Go to the Globe. Now read my article about catching Giorno in a lie, about Sona of all people. Tell me I didn’t just blow Ibbitson’s position on Giorno’s claims
Continue readingDriving The Porcelain Bus: NDP vs The RoboCall Scandal
The corporate mainstream media has been doing a pretty lousy job of giving fair coverage to the official opposition party, the NDP. Someone who didn’t know better might think the Liberals were still the official opposition party in Canada when reading the big daily papers (on-line or the paper copies).

Five days later. It’s good that the professional journalists have got around to asking the question I did days ago: Why doesn’t Elections Canada just check the Conservative’s voter information database (CIMS) for who queried the phone numbers used for illegal robocalls? Do you think they will, now that the

WARNING: The following is a disclaimer provided by Kady O’Malley, regarding the story within this blog post: “I’m sorry, but this is SO dumb” “Tories demand Liberals release call records – but refuse to follow suit“ The Conservatives are playing poker. “Liberals will release election phone records” Bluff called. What’s

Three years until we vote, meaningless, yes I understand! Nanos poll out with a few noteworthy results, not the least of which the walking dead party, the Liberals, touch 30% nationally, pretty remarkable, even if it’s a one off result(I bet they can’t keep Peter C. Newman’s book on the
