Natural Resources minister Joe Oliver announced the ‘streamlining’ of the federal environmental assessment process. What was not mentioned in the press release or by the minister was that final approval can now be given by the federal cabinet i.e. Harper himself even if it the board deems a project too
Continue readingLeft Over: We’ve Only Just Begun…
Emperor Steve and his nightmare circus clowns have deemed it the ‘cost of doing business’ to redress the pushback that his Enbridge dirty deal has caused..necessary and desirable to offer up to profit mongering the possible destruction of the West Coast’s environment..and we are, happily, prepared to take him on.

According to Louise Arbour, Canada’s internationally renowned & universally lauded Charter of Rights & Freedoms (HBD, eh?) “has transformed a country obsessed with the federal-provincial division of powers and enabled it to address its diversity in a substantive, principled way.” Gee. No wonder Harpercon insurrectionists can’t stand the fucking thing.

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
Continue readingImpolitical: Harper on celebrating the Charter
Harper can’t celebrate the Charter ’cause it’s too divisive and all. This is weak tea for a Canadian Prime Minister: “In terms of this as an anniversary, I think it’s an interesting and important step, but I would point out that the Charter remains inextricably linked to the patriation of
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Stupid, Stupid Harper
The man who speaks with forked tongue is at it again. Furious Leader Steve Harper says he accepts that the war on drugs, especially South American drug cartels, isn’t working. Cue the Straw Men. “There is increasing doubt about whether we are taking the best approach to doing that, but

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

Many are angry that instead of the promised $16 billion cost of the new F-35’s the actual price tag will be more than $25 billion but Canadians shouldn’t forget that originally not only did this government continually claim the cost would only be $9 billion, Stephen Harper, Peter MacKay, Tony

…It’s your Mother. Is that how the expression goes? == The Conservatives haven’t been in hot water over just one scandal lately. There are more than the average human can keep track of. If you take their screw ups, deceptions, and crimes individually, many Canadians feel they are just run

Support for the Harper Conservatives has fallen, a few points, to 34% but amazingly but old Beelzebub hisself is still riding high at 42% even after the robocall scandal and the F-35 fiasco. Okay, I have a hard time believing in God or Heaven. Why then do I have

”This isn’t about the planes, in other words, or costs, or accounting. This is about accountability. This is is about whether departments are answerable to their ministers, and whether ministers are answerable to Parliament — or whether billions of public dollars can be appropriated without the informed consent of either
