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 […]

Harper and Alexander Recently Conservative Chris Alexander made the assertion that Canada has eradicated poverty. Statements like this are disheartening. Many Canadians have to make the difficult choice between paying the rent or buying food. And because people in Canada… ..

The Conservatives violated copyright laws in posting Harper’s singing of Imagine by John Lennon and so it has been yanked from youtube. This video is inspired by that, by the prospects of a Harper majority and “imagining” what that would mean to Canada…

I like this Liberal war room. Quick, sharp, setting the agenda, even having the confidence to use humour. They are smacking the Conservatives around like hockey pucks. This is a great rapid response to a very serious issue of the Conservatives spying “Facebook creeping” on ordinary Canadians, banning students and

It is hard to say what Stephen Harper knew about Bruce Carson. In one breath he says that “I knew Mr. Carson had had difficulties with the law…” But in another breath says “The fact is, I did not know… had I known these things, obviously I would not have

“This campaign trail sure is bumpy.” So far this week: – banning a veterans advocate from hearing Harper speak – spying on and kicking out students because of their Facebook page (I’m sure it had nothing to do with their Middle Eastern sounding names) – spying on and kicking out

Nick Fillmore, Catch 22 Campaign team
Ralph Surette probably has been the Maritimes most outstanding independent journalist and columnist for more than 30 years. I have known him since we worked together at The 4thEstate newspaper in Nova Scotia during the 1970s. Living in Digby County, N.S., where he also operates a small farm, Surette continues to judge governments based on how well they serve the public interest, while many Canadian columnists have fallen into the trap of…

=============================
I have just come across an article written by Stephen Harper and Tom Flanagan in 1997 – the year that Harper left politics to join the National Citizens Coalition. The article, published in Next City, Winter 1996/97 was called …

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, […]
Liberal Video Depot: "You people"?
Specifically targetting certain (not all) ethnic groups has its risks. But I suppose the idea is that they have commonalities with your social conservative agenda, right? So is referring to them as “you people” enhancing that sense of commonality or making them feel more alienated and not one of “us”?
