So Conrad Black … um, Baron Conrad Black is out of jail. On the one hand it’s good to see his time in prison has mellowed His Lordship out somewhat and that he’s actually starting to see some of the issues of a day with a much more open and

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: Evidence And Obstruction
Postmedia has reported that the Conservatives’ voter information database (CIMS), was being investigated along with other party’s databases, to determine who gave Pierre Poutine the thousands of phone numbers used to illegally robocall Guelph non-Conservative voters. The most interesting claim by their source, was that important information leading to the

MacKay has implicated the whole CPC cabinet as being complicit in an attempt to deceive voters prior to last year’s election as to the true cost of new fighter jets. Another unprecedented situation where every [then] cabinet minister of the government should resign for misleading Parliament (and thus lying to

I feel as though I’ve been wrenched from the light of the world and exiled to the heart of darkness. My friends, I just want to let you all know that we’ll not be able to stay as connected as … Continue reading →

Our country is taking its sweet time to dole out justice to the culprits behind the illegal election robocalls one year ago. It’s been two months since this story came out involving Andrew Prescott, and no charges are pending for even the CPC Guelph campaign for violating disclosure rules. Examples

There really is no other way to describe the killers of Tori Stafford. And I use the plural because it takes at least two to engage in a conspiracy that leads to the death of a minor. It’s hard to think of another word other than “coward” to describe an

A spokesman for the Conservative Party attacked Frank Graves, the head of Ekos, for donating to the Liberals in the past. “Frank Graves … is the same pollster who predicted an NDP government last year,” Fred Delorey said in an email to CBC News. Oh, sorry Fred. If Frank had

A “statistically significant” number of non-Conservative voters were targeted by illegal robocalls before and during last year’s general election. A well known polling firm, EKOS was hired to determine samples of people in both ridings known to have got robocalls, and in ridings unsuspected of targeted voter suppression. Liberals and

The NDP seems to want to lag behind the Liberals when it comes to the smart on drugs plan. The NDP apparently according to George Soule the NDP wants to decriminalize pot (making it no longer illegal to have). While the Liberals are now the only party fully in favor of legalizing and

Today Young Liberals across the country are taking part in a campaign taking on NDP leader Tom Mulcair for his pro-Harper position on marijuana prohibition. I’m proud to count myself as part of the Ottawa team, putting up posters, handing out information and buttons, and reaching out to the majority of

Raymond Taavel, of Halifax NS may not have had the profile that Harvey Milk of San Francisco CA did more than three decades ago; but the fact Taavel was murdered probably because he was gay is nothing short of outrageous. I was six years old when Milk was shot, but it

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

I an surprise of events Harper told Canada that the War on Drugs have failed. Now when I heard this I was on the verge of an aneurysm. Harper a Prime Minister who in the time of lowest crime rates in Canadian history put in place minimum sentencing and continued

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

I was really happy when I heard Thomas Mulcair’s position on marijuana as follows (in reasponse to question from Global news reporter Tom Clark on decriminalization or legalization of marijuana) I think that that would be a mistake. Because the information that we have right now is that the marijuana that’s on the

This is easily the good news story of the day. Last night, the state legislature in Connecticut abolished the death penalty. The number of states that have done away with the practice is now seventeen (the first was Michigan in 1846), along with Washington DC and Puetro Rico. As well,

So I can stop wincing at the sight of a news website. It’s the closest I’ve come to puking while reading a web page.

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
