As we all know Stephen Harper is no Great Warrior Leader, no matter what his faithful flunkies, and the voices in his head tell him.And we'd be crazy to trust him with our safety, when he's the greatest threat we face.But it seems tomorrow's long delayed budget, won't just be a

The only thing more disturbing than having an incompetent Cold War chickenhawk like Jason Kenney posing as a Defence Minister, and lying like a thief. Over and over again.Is having Canada's top general, running behind him with a shovel.To scoop up his manure, or as David Pugliese writes, dig him out
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: What Has Jason Kenney Been Smoking?
Seriously. I’m wondering if our fledgling defence minister was high, high, high, when he proclaimed that, after we defeat ISIS, Iraq and Syria better not look to Canada to create a model democracy in those states. That’s sort of like me asking the confirmed bachelor if he’s stopped beating his wife yet.

As you probably know, I'm still having a REALLY hard time coming to terms with the brutal fact that Jason Kenney is Canada's Defence Minister.The very thought that a chubby chickenhawk and religious fanatic like Kenney should be in charge of any armed force is frankly frightening.Especially now that the
