I remember when that hideous dumb on crime omnibus bill was first tabled and the noon hour “Free For All” show, starring Ric Petersen, Aaron Rand and of course, Tea-baggin’ Tommy Schnurmacher, on CJAD was discussing that very lunacy. One frightening thing that came out of Aaron Rand’s mouth stuck

Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!
Yes, that would be the same Eric Duhaime, the one who begged the feds, not once, but twice, to somehow intervene in the construction scandal woes in la Belle province, a problem that dates decades that needs systemic changes that not even the feds can touch. That same scandal that ol’ Chrissie Paradis . . . → Read More: Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

I nearly fell over the other day listening to the CBC’s Power and Politics (yes I know I said I would stop listening to this show but lord knows it’s better then listening to Ezra Levant call mentally disabled people disturbed or Charles Adler take a crap all over the social safety net) . . . → Read More: That’s It @PnP_CBC, I’ve Put You On Notice!!!

After reading Chrissie Blatchy’s latest scrawlings, just when I think she can’t get any nastier or more insane, she does!
It’s why, where I used to think that before I got really old I’d get me a gun so I could shoot myself, I now wonder if I won’t instead turn the weapon . . . → Read More: Chrissie Blatchford–Shoot the Nurses; Ask Questions, Later, Maybe, If it Suits My Agenda

Whatever they pay her is not enough.
Jane Taber has made quite a reputation for herself as a hagiographer for women – Conservative women, that is. Today, Taber doubles down on Lisa Raitt whilst adding Rona Ambrose to the mix.
It’s not so much that Taber and the Globe love to exalt Conservatives but it is that Taber does . . . → Read More: Tory Taber wanks on for the Conservatives. Again.

Especially for Democratic women.
It’s an under-reported story of 2011, and one that advocates of Democratic women say could be part of the story of the more feisty Democratic party that has emerged in recent months.
Let’s breakdown the history. Heading into the 2010 elections, there were 73 women in the House (including . . . → Read More: 2011 turning out to be good year for women elected to Congress

Most likely spurred by the facts presented by the CBC about Quebecor’s welfare habit, the media chain’s chief came out firing today against the ‘state broadcaster’. Problem is, Peladeau came off wimpy and whiny, somehow befitting a news chain known for its self victimization and pouting. Not only that, there was a whiff of paranoia . . . → Read More: Poor Pierre Karl Peladeau. Playing the victim again. Paranoid, too.

Vintage Peggy Wente. She does prove that she is, indeed, Chrissie Blatchford’s sob sister, along with Tash Kheiriddin. Peggy, of course, misses the point of the #occupy movement. What a bitter woman she is!

The Vancouver Sun thinks it may be because of the Murdoch phone hacking scandal in the UK. Mmmm, about that 90% of the media endorsed Stephen Harper’s Cons last federal election. Not even in the most totalitarian countries does one party receive that kind of media support.

So it goes in OWS land. Not long after hearing that the Canadian company responsible for kicking out the protesters from Zuccotti Park had backed down, police resumed their indiscriminate head bashing of wayward protest members. At one point a motorcycle cop ran over a pedestrian.

You won’t find the Sun tabloid chain – no stranger to hatchet jobs – siding with the ‘state broadcaster’ often. But when it comes to the Bill O’Reilly attack dog of the CBC, Sun can make an exception.

Part 2 doesn’t really have anything to do with Janie Taber’s little apparent attempt at fiction regarding Candy getcherguns Hoeppner’s little ego trip, but it did raise questions in mind like how does stripping away at gun control square with a tough on crime agenda?

Kevin O’Leary channels Krista Erickson. This time guest bites back.
This is sweet. Chris Hedges exposes Kevin O’Leary’s snotty, condescending name calling during an interview on CBC’s Lang & O’Leary Exchange.
