Ezra Levant really outdid himself on Fox News North, Stephen Harper’s personal aping station, by telling Chiquita International senior vice-president Manuel Rodriguez, to basically go screw his mother … in Spanish. So much class. What got Ezie in a tizzy? Chiquita joined thousands, and thousands, (did I mention thousands?) of others

Hey Ezra, chinga tu madre
Tu padre, too. That is, if you can get it up. Which seem highly unlikely.

Your blogger with Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Calgary-Fort MLA Wayne Cao, the best singer in the Legislature. Below: Sun columnist Ezra Levant. Demagoguery is not an accusation that stings very much nowadays. Almost anyone can be accused of being a demagogue for saying almost anything, and one’s inclination is

Assorted content to end your day. – Yes, it’s blasphemy to point out the obvious returns on public investments. But let’s point out a couple more examples: Andrew Jackson wonders why we’re not looking to lock in low interest rates, while Paul Krugman points out that infrastructure investments will offer

Apparently, this. Jacqui’s television credits include co- hosting “Argos Access” with Michael “Pinball” Clemons, hosting “Dancing at the Palais” on Women’s Television Network, host/reporter on Sportsnet Ontario, co-hosting a late night talk show on Toronto One and until recently she anchored the daily Current Affairs show “Canoe Live” on Sun

…and only they are allowed to bludgeon him to death themselves. h/t Bourque, who’s never afraid to ask the questions that matter. Here is the source story. The fact that this kind of thing is achieving MSM status, even if its mostly in Europe, makes me wonder about the fragility of the world economy.

Ethical Oil? If you have been paying any attention to Canadian politics on Twitter or have tuned into any of the Sun Media outlets over the past few days, you will have undoubtably noticed that the greenwashing website “Ethical Oil” has launched the Great Canadian Banana Boycott. Reacting to the

David Suzuki.png By David Suzuki (originally published on the David Suzuki Foundation website) Who is influencing Canada's resource priorities? In a puzzling appeal to anti-American sentiment, some industry supporters claim that U.S. foundations are threatening Canadian policy by donating money to environmental groups here. These arguments have appeared in publications such as

One of my right-wing friends asked me to watch Ezra Levant’s take on the Attawapiskat crisis, feeling, I suppose, that he presented a compelling argument. Levant is right when he suggests that it is hypocritical for Charlie Angus to use the photos of the devastation against Stephen Harper. Angus has

The CRTC has officially approved TVA Group’s request to revoke the broadcasting licence for CKXT-TV and its related transmitters. The issue first surfaced in May, when some cable providers complained the channel’s parent company, Quebecor, was using the station to air Sun News programming over the “free” airwaves — in addition

You have to hand it to right-wing blowhards like Rush Limbaugh. They are not afraid to come right out and say racist things, PC be damned. After all to Rush (and Shaidle and Levant etc.) they are the ones who are the actual victims of racism at the hands of

Hehe.
OTTAWA — The stunning Obama administration decision to put the brakes on a major pipeline expansion project linking Canadian oil to Texas refineries suggests the federal government needs to revisit its multimillion-dollar lobbying and marketing strategy to promote Canada as an "ethical" source of energy, observers and industry stakeholders said Friday.
"It clearly didn’t work," said

Objectively, he is 1,000, 000 times more unfunny and pointlessly obnoxious than Mary Walsh, and that’s saying alot. In fact, I am willing to let the gov. pass as many oppressive laws as they need to put him in jail for something. And I think most…
