The Disaffected Lib: It’s Not That We Disagree, It’s That I Despise Your Ideas
When ever I read another article and view another series of photographs of the carnage Israel has inflicted on the civilian population of Gaza and then think of the Netanyahu apologists, Trudeau and Mulcair, I despise them and any party that would tolerate much less follow their views. That these two greasy

…in advance of next year’s Federal election. I was just cruising through Twitter and found this: Looking through the followers of this anonymous account, there is a veritable who’s-who of the Ottawa conservative Twitter attack dawg crew. Same ol’, same ol’…. David is and has been a very effective and

… that the CPC Government has dropped its infamous “Kijiji Job Vacancy Index”, I almost choked on my orange… Amazing how these guys think they can get away with nonsense like this and then retreats once their lunacy is exposed. What’s next? Perhaps a Google Earth count of fish stocks?

So, you’re a politician? You want to lead our country into a better future? You think the past cannot be relied on as an accurate predicator of the future of the country’s economy? You think the middle class deserve a better break than they’ve been given for the past decade

… For quite a while. But I had to say something to a wider audience than FB. I am SICKENED by some of the comments I’m seeing on the news stories about Jim Flaherty’s sudden death. Shit, peeps, really? This is just the depth that som conservatives sunk to when

… a number of other ReformCon Ministers and PMO staff are reportedly on their way to the site to get new material for the 2015 CPC election campaign. Artifacts like these meets the criteria necessary to be considered as platform planks – material must be very old, fail the smell

Rob “Sleepy” Anders must be feeling the heat from having competition running against him for the nomination in Calgary Signal Hill. Yesterday, he threatened to sue Ron Liepert over claims that Liepert’s campaign made that Anders’ campaign was making misleading phone calls to constituents. Liepert responded with a statement that says Elections Canada

The Impartial Premier – Trust Me Premier Pauline Marois believes she can have her cake and eat it, too. So she is sucking and blowing at the same time about whether a vote for her Parti Quebecois is really also a vote to start the journey to yet another referendum

Plea from Ukraine My earlier post showed some interesting maps of the ethnic and language divisions inside the Ukraine, and asked whether a split into two parts was going to happen. Today Julia Ioffe in the New Republic has this forecast: Neither America nor NATO can stop this. They’ve shown

… now just shut up about it and let the grownups talk, please. Talk about pathetic. In a previous column, Murphy was emphatic about how he speaks to his own beliefs and none other. While one might almost believe that, when Murphy’s “own beliefs” sound suspiciously like talking points out

Oh, methinks the Cons are worried – very, very worried. Preston Manning, self-styled Grand Dame of movement conservatism in Canada, can see that Stephen Harper’s pseudo-democratic reform package is a rancid loser. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government should back off a proposal to muzzle Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer that would

Andre Turcotte – the Curves Tracker Sometimes a picture is really worth a thousand words, much to the consternation of the conservatives huddled in Ottawa for the annual Manning Centre rightwing navel-gazing gathering. Pollster Turcotte presented a series of graphs showing what a poll of a thousand Canadians today think

Andrew Coyne made an excellent point in his column about the Manning Networking Conference that the Manning Centre is hosting in Ottawa: So this is what a Conservative convention looks like. After that bizarre lockdown in Calgary last fall – reporters harassed and penned in at every turn, the prime minister’s

They are actually high jacking the announcement of the Canadian Olympic men’s hockey team and are making it a political moment. Un-freaking believable. Is there no depth that they won’t sink to? Gag. (1) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

Michael Chong’s Bill C-559 is a relatively short piece of work, but it has taken me a bit of time to go through it and start to understand the implications of the changes being proposed, mostly because it contains a series of small changes to much larger acts – in

Harper’s leadership is becoming increasingly shaky in the wake of the Senate Expenses scandal. Rick Mercer’s Rant this week hit the nail on the head as far as Harper’s denials in the House of Commons are concerned: “Either he is psychotic or he was in on it” Perhaps more interesting
