While talking about market regulation, I came up with an example of a situation where I think more government oversight and fines would be useful at protecting Canadians. It occurred to me, that it’s practically a metaphor of Saskatchewan’s current Sask Party government. “Unfortunately companies that are too big to fail get neither the government […]

“Designed to Fail”. That should be the motto of Peter Kent and the Conservatives’ ‘environmental mismanagement’.
NDP Environment Critic Megan Leslie (Halifax, N.S.) accused the government of creating a climate change plan that is “designed to fail.”
“There’s absolutely no reporting mechanism, we know nothing about where this money went,” Ms. Leslie told . . . → Read More: Peter Kent makes lemons out of lemonade

Part 2 doesn’t really have anything to do with Janie Taber’s little apparent attempt at fiction regarding Candy getcherguns Hoeppner’s little ego trip, but it did raise questions in mind like how does stripping away at gun control square with a tough on crime agenda? How does the meme of not wanting to . . . → Read More: Jane Taber and Candy Hoeppner Are Now Into Fiction: Part 2–Inconsistencies Between Scrapping C-391 And Tough On Crime Agenda

This video demonstrates that nothing has been done in more than 25 years to close the tax loopholes that Reagan supposedly wanted to close in 1985. Obama is saying the same things, literally, as Reagan did. The Bush(s), Clinton, and Obama governments since have lost ground for the 99% of us. This is one big […]
Politics, Re-Spun: Occupy the Church, Occupy Together
Christians. Church. God. Jesus. Occupy. What do these words mean to you? For many, the connotations are negative. Personal experiences with judgemental, rigid, frozen people who identify themselves as Christians have left a bitter taste in their mouths. Memories of being harangued, condescended to and lectured linger long after their encounter. Media and political examples […]

It would be about time and why shouldn’t we? We are, after all, a province of progress or supposed to be.

Imagine my surprise when I read in today’s Globe and Mail that Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said he was “relatively confident” that we would see modest economic growth in Canada. What is modest economic growth, I wonder? Is it 0.3%, …

One of the few benefits of not having any political power is that you get to sit back and watch the majority power fall all over its own ideology and arrogance.
Less than 40% of Canada voted for these guys. That’s not a mandate for anything other than doing . . . → Read More: Outasite! Supreme Court bludgeons Con ideology with reality.

Well, this latest antic from the Harpercons, specifically, pitbull Johnny Baird, could fall under a few files: austerity for thee but not for me, do as I say and not as I do, Liberal Derangement Syndrome and removing all signs of Canadian identity.

Occupy Wall Street protests have garnered very little media attention, especially the television kind. Yes, there’s been the usual ’dirty fucking hippies’ smirking from the New York Times and the like, but nothing substantial. Most Americans, except those who work or live near Wall Street, have taken little notice. That’s about to change.
