Do not adjust your television set. We are firmly in pre-election mode. The majority of CPC talking-boxes may reject this claim (even though their own fund raising material say otherwise) but Peter MacKay isn’t going to dance to the party tune. Today while speaking to the media in Winnipeg, MacKay

The Deficit Kings
When I read Brian Mulroney giving Harper advice to “do something big,” I laughed.
First I thought perhaps Mulroney meant taking in a $300,000 bribe, lying about it, and then successfully suing the Federal government for over $2 million due to allegat…

and he’s Canadian-born, what must Harper truly think of immigrants?
Those attack ads are out again. Evil coaltions! Iggy just visiting!

Stephen Harper is once again attacking his opponents’ wallets instead of their policies. Mr. Harper thinks that the twenty-seven million dollars of taxpayers’ money that is given annually to the parties is a waste of taxpayer money.

Stephen Harper is once again attacking his opponents’ wallets instead of their policies. Mr. Harper thinks that the twenty-seven million dollars of taxpayers’ money that is given annually to the parties is a waste of taxpayer money. Says the man who spent a billion dollars of our money securing a 2 day conference in Toronto, […]

What’s worse than a “tax and spend” liberal? How about a tax-cut and spend Conservative! Prisons, Planes, and Post-signs – these are the things the Canadian taxpayer is going to be paying for in the next budget. And, as usual, there’s got to be a tax out there that needs

Privacy has been on my mind a lot lately. I think this is the natural side effect of the Wikileaks story. But the more I have been thinking about privacy, the more I think we need to give some serious thought to how we are going to address this issu…

Privacy has been on my mind a lot lately. I think this is the natural side effect of the Wikileaks story. But the more I have been thinking about privacy, the more I think we need to give some serious thought to how we are going to address this issue in the age of free […]

Who gives a fuck whether Mr. Harper is still with Mrs. Harper, anyway? Except maybe as a demonstration of the man’s penchant for deception – something that has been well demonstrated by his time as PM – what possible relevance could it have to Mr. Ha…

So it sounds like Iggy is building up the courage to strike out on his own and risk sending the country to an election in the spring. Well I say, it’s about time. After three years of Conservative disregard for the institutions of democracy, embarrassing delinquency on climate change and international diplomacy, debasing of rational, […]
bastard.logic: Montreal Massacre: “Remember, then organize.”
by matttbastard Record snowfall may have forced the cancellation of local commemorative events, but the memories of December 6th, 1989 remain fresh, regardless of where we wrestle with them. Though we take time today to reflect on the untimely murders of 18 … Continue reading →
Five of Five: Calgary Herald Opposes Basic Democracy
To no one’s surprise the Calgary Herald wrote an op-ed wholly justifying the Senate’s vote down of Bill C-311, the Climate Change Accountability Act. It seems so twisted, to me I can only summarise it in point form:The bill would cause irreparable econ…

The HarperCons have gone much too far now! Apparently, the Sisters In Spirit Campaign, organized by the Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) has been too successful in raising the awareness about murdered and missing Aboriginal women in Canada. Or something. They’ve done a lot, that’s for sure, including heightening awareness throughout the country, establishing […]

So, the free market-loving, small government-lusting Conservative government has taken a decidedly protectionist stance with regards to Potash Corporation in the name of political expediency.
It’ll be fun when we start saying that Stephen Harper camp…

Elizabeth May’s cartoon double (that looks like Sarah Palin) was on my blog show tonight answering questions about the Green Party of Canada and her leadership. This is my first video effort and I’m only using the free online version of the software. It has limitations. Enjoy the video. Booya!

Scott has a great post dispelling the foolish notion that Rob Ford is harbinger of doom for Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals. He writes: “Municipal politics are a far cry from provincial politics, and I contend one doesn’t have anything to do with the other. For example, does Nenshi’s election in Calgary

The horrific crimes perpetrated by Canadian Forces‘ Colonel, Russell Williams, have forced those of us who’d rather not, to look at disturbing images which were presented as evidence in the courtroom. You won’t find a link to those images here. Why the media insists these images are publishable news, that this is a story of […]
