Al Queda has been the go-to boogieman when acts of violence are perpetrated in western countries. The media, fed by right wing pundits and bloggers, does the full knee-jerk reaction, wondering aloud which brown-skinned, Islamic organization is responsible. Despite reports from both the UK and the US that right wing extremists were as . . . → Read More: Guardian: we can no longer ignore the far-right

Coren Seems To Think We, Progressives, Are ‘Sewers’ And Please Let’s Not Forget The Victims of The Senseless Tragedy in Norway and May They Never Lose Their Resolve
Jymn published the vile and despicable blogging of Michael ‘cue-ball’ head Coren, earlier today; that miserable blog where he seems to imply that those Norwegian victims seemed to deserve what happened to them. Now, in Coren’s comment section, Coren seems to be calling those of us who dare to criticize him or anyone . . . → Read More: Coren Seems To Think We, Progressives, Are ‘Sewers’ And Please Let’s Not Forget The Victims of The Senseless Tragedy in Norway and May They Never Lose Their Resolve

I thought the Washington Post was grossly irresponsible for keeping up a hate column by Jennifer Rubin blaming Muslims for the Norwegian tragedy but this bit of hate speech from Michael Coren is one of the most disgusting bits of unapologetic enmity dressed up as ‘irony’ as I have ever encountered.
It is . . . → Read More: Michael Coren blames Norwegian victims as “socialist children” “who showed no empathy at all for Jewish suffering”

Indeed. Looks like the hackers have been hacked into themselves, Monday night. It is kinda poetic. LulzSec, a hacktivist group, who claimed responsibility for some high profile cyber attacks like having taken the CIA website off line and compromising user accounts from Sony Pictures, have hacked into News International last night.

The New York Times, in concert with UK’s Guardian, has been exemplary in its journalistic diligence in digging into the scandals rippling through News Corp. In a longish piece today, the Times outlines how the organization tried to cover up its alleged crimes and dirty tricks. The take away is that the hacking . . . → Read More: Rebekah Brooks to Lady Rothermere: “Who do you think you are, Mother Teresa?”

So far police have said the death of Sean Hoare, the man who initially accused former Cameron communications director Andy Coulson of hacking, does not appear to be suspicious. No details have been made available so it’s difficult to make assumptions. But the way the Murdoch story has unfolded, it does seem likely . . . → Read More: Whistleblower in Murdoch hacking scandal found dead

This is amusing. I already thought it was kind of rip roaringly hilarious when a crook like ol’ Connie Blah blah Black slammed Rupert Murdoch. However, when Larry Flynt of Hustler Magazine and other sleaze, the king of scuzz, hisself, slams ol’ Rupert for his sleazy and unethical behavior and that of his . . . → Read More: When A King of Porn Slams Rupert Murdoch…

Wow, just wow.
Rebekah Brooks has been arrested by police investigating allegations of phone hacking by the News of the World and allegations that police officers were bribed to leak sensitive information.
The Metropolitan police said a 43-year-old woman was arrested at noon on Sunday, by appointment at a London police station.

Is it because of Canada’s bilateral trade deal with Bahrain or is it that Harper doesn’t want to ‘upset an important US ally in the Persian Gulf’? Those are reasons suggested by GlobalResearch for the silence of our government over the capture and torture of Naser Al Raas, an Ottawa resident who was visited Bahrain . . . → Read More: Why doesn’t Harper act on Canadian citizen tortured in Bahrain?

Apparently, voter apathy was not restricted to the young at the 41st election. Below are the numbers broken down of the wall of shame known as the non-voters:
18 to 24 years old: 29.9% 25 to 32 years old: 30.8% 35 to 44 years old: 27.5% 45 to 54 years old: 29.1% 55 . . . → Read More: Excuses! Excuses!

How many polls have come out since the Harpercons got their precious majority, May 2? Another one came out today. One by Abacus, a Sun Media poll, no less. One I rely on least. So this is how it’s going to go for the next four or so years? Polls all the time? . . . → Read More: Here A Poll, There a Poll, Everywhere a Poll!

Before I continue, full disclosure: like many Quebecers, I am anti-monarchy and think it’s antiquated and a waste of tax dollars. Furthermore, like Gilles Duceppe said awhile ago, they never work and they live off the backs of the tax-payers. I have to ask, particular today’s neo-cons, who love to villify the poor, . . . → Read More: Royal Pains, Brainwashing of Canada, Big Shiny Distractions Supercede Democracy–Rant Alert

Finally, I post my thoughts about the NDP filibuster of Stevie Spiteful’s draconian Back to work legislation of locked out Canada Post workers and the press coverage it has received, along with many Canadians’ attitude toward it. I’m not only concerned at Canadians’ attitudes toward Bill c-6, but also all the misinformation that . . . → Read More: Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

First, Remember this?
If you don’t care to view all of it, it was basically Krista Erikson in her best Harper blue dress berating Montreal dancer and long time cultural icon, Margie Gillis on her Fox News North show. How she would flail her arms, basically mocking dancers, twist Ms. Gillis’ words . . . → Read More: Fox News North In Trouble–Again!

Assuming Stevie Spiteful stays in power, that is, and after watching both the NDP and the Liberals, this week-end, along with Stevie Spiteful’s spin machine in his media, it looks like it could well be for a very, very long time to come. Only a very sleep deprived Lizzy May seemed to have . . . → Read More: How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers

I’ve been following the marathon debates on forcing the locked out Canada Post workers back to work on the CBC page live feed since last night and observing the debates on Twitter. The rookie NDP MPs have been actively participating and have, in my opinion, all been quite articulate. Sure some of them . . . → Read More: At Least Ruth-Ellen Brosseau Knows the Difference Between a Lockout and a Strike

I really should’ve titled this post, Four cops turn busy Downtown intersection into the OK Corral. They deserve nothing less. However, I may just get myself arrested or sued for that these days the way things are going. You just never know.
Yesterday morning, cops found a 40 year old homeless man, Mario Hamel, near . . . → Read More: Does It Really Take Four Cops And Three Gunshots To Subdue a Homeless Man?

Since his conviction for fraud and obstruction of justice, Conrad Black has portrayed himself the victim of liberal, over-zealous courts. He is really innocent and a good guy all around, according to his pals in the media. The truth about the man, however, is less than flattering and closer to reality.

Various reactions to the highlights of the throne speech show in the form of ex-senate page’s Brigitte Depape’s protest in the middle of the floor, flashing her “Stop Harper” sign (see more details from Jymn’s post) yesterday had the usual reactions and yielded a few surprises.
