Orange Blood II, the NDP Edition…

This is about the NDP Leadership Convention 2012, and why I think that democracy has failed. I became a member of the NDP for the BCNDP Leadership race.  My partner and I both joined the Party to support our MLA, John Horgan.  A man of principle, who listened to the

Woody-Worthless!

Boys ‘n’ girls, it seems that that abortion debate is going to be reopened, whether we want it to or not.  Yikes!  Even certain “progressive” bloggers seem to be taking a shine to it.  This one seems to not like it when a reporter is doing his/her job when questioning

Firms Use #CPC Tactics To Halt Bad PR

Many of you will remember yesterdays post about John Fryer, the UVic professor who wrote a letter to the editor of the Globe and Mail about the two day Manning Center intensive campaign course he attended where-in he allegidly had heard about Robocalls and voter suppression. Turns out the group that Fryer

Another Step To Criminalizing Dissent?

Election Fraud

Interesting. When I think of Election Fraud, I think of Saanich/Gulf Islands campaign in 2008.  Gary Lunn v. Briony Penn. Briony was a charismatic candidate for the Liberal Party, she was Lady Godiva, a candidate for change.  This lady went out on a limb to represent the people.  Shortly before

Christy Clark’s BS Budget

Kevin Falcon, BC’s soon to be unemployed Finance Minister tabled his “Prudent and Responsible” Budget today.  Which would be fine, if it were true, but it’s not. The reason his budget is complete and utter bullshit is his plan to privatize one of BCs few remaining moneymaking corporations, the Liquor

Conservative Senator Irving Gerstein removes Liberal and only woman Vice-Chair since Confederation, 17-year member Céline Hervieux-Payette

Shocking is right. But par for the course when it comes to heavy-handed Conservatives. I love the part how Gerstein blacked out “his motion, the debates and the vote”. Transparency? Free society? Guess again. Ottawa, February 9, 2012 – Yesterday, Senator Irving Gerstein, the new Chair of the Senate Standing Committee
