CTV News: Bob Rae is latest victim of car tire vandalismSuch is the way of thinking of thugs and gangbangers, how violence and intimidation are the only necessary tools in human relations. I hope the police catch the buggers involved, and fine them big…

Enormous Thriving Plants: Applauding contempt for a question?
Harper & his Conservative Party seem 2 continue to give Canadians a glimpse of what lies beneath the mask.
Continue readingPop The Stack: Harper’s Constitutional Double Down Strategy
This was meant to be a reply to the cat’s latest column, regarding Stephen Harper’s outrageous stance on forming government in a minority situation in parliament. Something went wrong with the form so I’ll post it up here instead. I think Harper understands fully, which makes it worse. He is purposely setting up a constitutional crisis down the road […]
Continue readingPop The Stack: Old People Vote Like Crazy, Now Will Crazy Young People Vote?
Hey “YoungPeople™”, I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed this but…there are a LOT of old people around. By young people I’ll be very broad here and say everyone who is young at heart and/or under 35 (I’m in there somewhere…ahem). Basically, the people in the 1950′s were so happy after the war that they […]
Continue readingHarper Valley: Stephen Harper – The Mortician
Dr. Death. Prime Mordial of Canada. It’s rumoured he drinks formeldehyde on ice. What else would a guy who has sounded the death nell for Canada sip back after a long day of whining, CONvincing and CONniving? Don’t vote for Stephen Harper. Why? It’s all right here: Shit Harper Did. I need not say more. […]

Open Letter to my MP A blog post from Pearson’s Post (Link Here) Dear Olivia Chow,(Or, campaign staffer who is screening the emails she gets),Thank you for calling me tonight at home in the riding of Trinity-Spadina to ask if you could count on my volunteer help.As I said at
Continue readingThe Global Express: Special Ballot in Guelph a Mistake Afterall
It’s very easy to criticize someone for a wrong-doing. After all, its human nature to put others down in order to make ourselves look good. Finding the truth has become a secondary act. A Special Ballot was held at the University of Guelph on Wednesday where 241 votes were cast.
Continue readingConservative’s Making Sure the Youth DON’T Vote
This is an atrocious story out of Guelph:No votes cast Wednesday in a special ballot at the University of Guelph should stand, according to the Conservative Party of Canada. The party wrote …

Nanos’ overnight poll post-debate has Stephen Harper’s leadership rating down 15 points. That is a big win for the progressives in this country and hardly surprising given the slew of controversy that has plagued the Conservative camp. A little birdie told me the NDP is collapsing in Ontario, making the
Continue readingProgressive Proselytizing: Strategic voting depends on your ridings poll numbers.
The majority of ridings are essentially a lock before the election even happens. A minority have a good competition and a small number end up being too close for poll aggregates to predict the day before the election. There is thus a reasonab…

There has been a lot of talk lately about the exclusion of Elizabeth May in the leaders debate. May is the leader of the Green Party and was included last election, but left on the outside this time around. May has gone as far as taking the decision by the

I just looked into these vote mobs that LeadNow is encouraging young people at campuses around the country to create. I noticed Guelph and a few others already had some videos up. The UVic video is a lip-dubbing extravaganza. This prompted me to suggest that UBC has got to do one of these. But really, students […]
Continue readingHarper Valley: Tales From The Shelter – 54
We sit around and talk about things we need but Gordie Campbell took away from us. “Shirley” is elderly and needs orthotics as her arches are collapsing and her feet become very painful. That need was ripped from the books of the Ghost of Gordy Campbell Present and it will cost her $800 (with the […]
Continue readingThe Wheatsheaf: Election shout outs
Dammit Janet has uncovered the failed Ottawa Centre Liberals attempt to be cleverly underhanded. Scott Bradley’s campaign is misquoting Ottawa Center MP and NDP candidate Paul Dewar in an attempt to portray the NDP as being anti-civil servant. It is pretty amazing that they would attempt to attack Paul on

Hey there, election season in Canada is here. Can you smell the ballot papers, the baby powder, the stench of hateful attack ads? Doesn’t make you feel alive… Well, unfortunately this election has come at a bad time for me so I won’t be posting much this election. I’ve got a thesis to write (in fact, […]

I will be busy campaigning for the Pirate Party of Canada during the upcoming Federal Election. As a result, I won’t be blogging as much on this site until the election is done. I would like to encourage everybody to check out Pirate Party of Canada’s website and each of

Elizabeth May is quite concerned that the Green Party will not be included in the televised debates. And while I like the Green Party and believe that their contribution to the general political discourse is valuable, I believe that it is important to have a reasonable and consistent principle on

I don’t have picture ID! Anyone have any extra bucks they can donate to help me get a BC ID? It’s thirty-five dollars.I make no bones about it. I’m broke. I’m poor. I’ve got no income. I might have a part-time job in a few weeks, or maybe not if they r…

I’ve learned who the local NDP candidate for the Okanagan Shuswap is. Nikki Inouye.Here’s from her bio on the NDP website:Nikki Inouye was born and raised in the Okanagan Valley.Nikki has been an active member of the BC Hospital Employee’s Union for …

Today’s Conservative “major policy announcement” of income splitting for families with kids under 18 is a joke, it won’t come into effect until after the budget is balanced. Harper is hoping that people will miss that convenient fact when they got to t…
