I’ve greatly enjoyed the humbling of Vic Toews, for I’ve never had any respect for that sinister totalitarian, religious bigot, and ghastly hypocrite. And I completely agree with this. Canadians expect better. I call on Mr. Toews to step down as Minister of Public Safety. The buck stops with the

Montreal Simon: Why Vic Toews Should Resign Immediately
Well I see that Vic Toews has abandoned his scary role in Vic Toews and the Zombie Internet Eaters, for an even scarier role as Captain Queeg. Dear Constituents,Over the last few weeks I have been subjected to an extensive personal attack by my political opponents as a result of certain

I have to admit that I didn’t think the low-budget Con horror/porn movie Vic Toews and the Zombie Internet Eaters could sink further into the abyss of fascist depravity. But there was Toews today, foaming into his sheriff mustache, claiming he didn’t care whether people knew that he has been a VERY

Why don’t we find out what they are doing online? I mean what’s good for the goose is good for the gander eh? You know all of this is so much fun. And it just keeps getting better. But let’s not forget why the Cons introduced this totalitarian legislation in

Lordy. I wasn’t going to write anything about the latest episode of the B-movie, Vic Toews and the Con Zombie Internet Eaters. Because it’s sooooooo sordid. And we don’t peddle Con smut on this blog eh? But in the end I couldn’t resist. An anonymous privacy advocate rose up against

Uh oh. Call the Ministry of Truth. It seems that the Con Zombie Vic Toews is trying to rewrite history. After failing to parse himself properly… My diagnosis? If he’s forgetting himself it’s senile dementia. If he’s lying it’s Big Brother syndrome: “If the Party could thrust its hand into

On the proposed online surveillance Bill C-30, curiously named Protecting Children From Internet Predators Act, are you with the Stephen Harper’s Conservative government or with child pornographers? Public Safety Minister Vic Toews wants you to …Read More

You should have seen him during Question Period today, staring down the helpless opposition with his cold dead eyes, like a hawk staring at a mouse, before it rips it apart. After tabling his montrous internet snooping bill that would turn Canada into a police state. The so-called “lawful access” legislation,

Gawd. Trust the old Con zombie Vic Toews to come stumbling out of his crypt, and make a complete fascist fool out of himself. Again. Critics of a bill that would give law enforcement new powers to access Canadians’ electronic communications are aligning themselves with child pornographers, Canada’s public safety

This graphic speaks for itself eh? The day before and the day after the internet revolution. Then Wednesday happened, and suddenly everyone seemed to understand how serious this was. Wikipedia went dark, and the country wailed; we realized how much we have come to depend on the crowdsourced encyclopedia. Google

In Toronto, Mayor Rob Ford sees his reckless budget derailed. Who says you can’t fight City Hall? Torontonians who successfully pushed back against Mayor Rob Ford’s reckless cuts are the real winners in this year’s budget process. By the hundreds, they came to all-night public meetings; they inundated city councillors

Here’s a question that I believe requires an urgent answer. If you lived in a country where a sinister, authoritarian leader had reduced civil servants to a state of fear and paralysis. Nobody gets in trouble for keeping their mouths shut, but people in government are really afraid — like, really

Not only do Big Business and Big Brother want your real name.So does the mob.Three years ago, after the suicide of a popular actress who had been bullied via the Internet, South Korea introduced a radical policy aimed at stamping out online hate. It re…

I ask that question because Dr Dawg thinks anonymity should be busted.And he’s in good company. So does Facebook.I think anonymity on the Internet has to go away… People behave a lot better when they have their real names down. … I t…

When I think of how the little Con gnome Jimbo Flaherty is bringing the economy down to his level. But doesn’t want us to worry.Even though once again he didn’t see it coming, and he doesn’t know what he’s doing. When I think about how the&nb…

It’s bad enough living in Stephen Harper’s Canada. The darkness. The insanity. The double think. Those cold dead eyes that seem to follow you around. Jason Kenney. The horror. The horror.But trust me eh? If Big Steve Brother …
