One of a waste of taxpayer money by the Con government for no other purpose other than to gloat. And the second, well that’s just to gloat even further – and is also a good example of using taxpayer money for partisan purposes. Neither of which should be a surprise

Crazy Bitches R Us: Canadian Democracy and willful blindness
It was the Liberals who proposed as part of their attack ads that Harper was a man with a “secret agenda.” I considered these attack ads (as I consider all attack ads) pure trash. Harper was upfront about both his policies and politics, from mega-prisons and the elimination of the

When is outrage acceptable? When something is outrageous. Canada’s position on pollution controls is outrageous, so it’s fine that Justin Trudeau lost his temper and swore at Environment Minister Peter Kent. The Conservatives’ “ethical oil” strategy is a failure. [W]e marvel when somebody like Justin Trudeau has an angry outburst?
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Harper’s Secret Taxes!
After Harper said he would like the provinces to pay half for his new (billion dollar) Prison system in which he intends to increase crime and reduce justice, Ontario and Quebec are screaming all the way to the parliament building saying NO! Harper doesn’t care for his budget it’s in deficit and

What does the Conservative Party of Canada have against facts? What is so wrong with empirical data? Are questions I would love to ask our Prime Minister. It started last year by downgrading our national census, the government’s most reliable way to know the make up of… ..

Harper since 2006 promised us that if he was prime minister he would scrap the Kyoto accord. He first just allowed Kyoto to stay alive, and just completely ignore it by creating “Made in Canada targets.” Bow the Harper government has made it official we are out of Kyoto. The
Continue readingDrive-by Planet: Canada’s Kyoto cop out
To a chorus on international condemnation, Canada has announced that it is pulling out of the Kyoto climate treaty. It’s clear that this is where Harper was steering the ship so to those of us watching from the lower decks it comes as no big surprise. A cutting and very

I find it to be a very difficult day to be a proud Canadian. If you don’t agree with scientific fact that there is climate change from our pollution, you’ll probably be offended if you read this blog post. I hope you are offended, because I’m angry, and you should
Continue readingFar and Wide: Is Stephen Harper a Denier?
This entire Kyoto debate is frustrating in one sense, the former Liberal government’s utter failure continues to absolve the current Conservative government and their now SIX year abysmal reign on the environment. The Kyoto Protocol has been a friendly ally for these Conservatives, it runs cover for their complete inaction,

Our clever Grinch of a Prime Minister gets a lyrical beating here. (If Harper is the Grinch, who is the little dog?)

The Brits are not amused with us at the moment, In a meeting with the British Foreign Office, Canada’s trade commissioner in the UK, Sushma Gera has reportedly informed UK officials that the Harper government is considering filing a challenge with the WTO over the EU’s Fuel Quality Directive claiming

A government so open, that it lost its marbles. If we had journalists who uniformly understood that letting politicians get away with flaming lies would lead us into a mess, we’d not be in a mess. We’d also not have to satirize ourselves so much.

Whooee! Well, friends an’ foes, I got me a new video an’ poem all about Attawapiskat. Here it is: ‘Twas just weeks before Christmas, when all through the land,Attention was aimed at a First Nation band;Canadians heard as they’d oft heard before,Of hardship and squalour so hard to ignore;Of children

There may be no way to get fired from a cabinet job in the Harper Government. Well, unless Peter MacKay takes off his shoes and throws them at a helicopter pilot, that might do it, but we may never see that day. The CTV Question Period journalism crowd was flabbergasted

The creation of enemies both at home and abroad during bad economic times is nothing new and that the Harper Conservatives would resort to this most dangerous of tactics is indeed no surprise. Governments have favoured it throughout time because it gives people who are justifiably angry an outlet with
