Gob-smacklingly stupid or hip advertising? I’m leaning towards the former. Via CBC: A Stockholm hospital that published an online ad looking to fill a summer position with a nurse who is “TV-series hot” says it was “written to catch people’s attention.” “We want people to be curious and have a

More “clean and ethical” politics from the Conservatives
On the heels of assurances from Jenni Byrne and Stephen Harper that Conservatives would never, ever do anything unethical despite the voter suppression accusations hanging over them, comes this bit of unwelcome news that the party worked in cahoots with the military to cover up Peter MaKay’s lavish lifestyle. OTTAWA—Military personnel were asked to
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Republicans No Fiscal Conservatives
According to the independent committee for responsible federal budget most Republican candidates aren’t at all fiscally responsible. In fact 3 out of the 4 Republicans would increase the debt over the next ten years. The worst on the budget is Newt Gingrich according to the report he would increase the
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: What A Surprise!!
The Conservatives never seem to stop amazing me on how much hypocrisy is in their government. When the gun registry was being battled in the house of commons one of the main arguments was that the gun registry was inefficient and was a waste of money. Considering the gun registry
Continue readingAmerican law enforcement officials: “U.S. is becoming ‘more progressive’ than Canada”
"Hey, this is some good reefer. I just saw the future. It's just like the 30's in Canada only worse!" Harper tells them to buzz off. He is determined to send Canada back a century, if not the middle ages. But the Harper government remains unswayed. In a statement Tuesday, a
Continue readingThose Emergency Blues: A Nasty, Medically Unnecessary, Coercive Procedure
This is just grostesque: A Republican supermajority has muscled two of the most restrictive anti-abortion bills in years through the Virginia House, despite bitter yet futile objections from Democrats, with one GOP delegate deriding most of the procedures as “matters of lifestyle convenience.” You want to put what where? [SNIP]
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Heck Trudeau Your Right!
I think people are over doing this statement. First of all speaking as someone from Quebec, we are much more left wing then most provinces, and when Trudeau made the comment that he would think more about a independent Quebec if Canada becomes Harper’s Canada is quite frankly for me
Continue readingUh, Peggy Nash, Just Because Charest likes User Fees for our Health Care System, Don’t mean Quebecers Support Them
Well, Peggy Nash, whatever respect I may have had for you is gone now. And many thought that if she won the leadership, she would steer the NDP further to the left! Ha! You see, boys ‘n’ girls, in some kind of misguided attempt to win over Quebec support, Ms
Continue readingThe Happy Wanderer: Our Record!
In Canada thanks to Stephen Harper we are again discredited to the world. Since budget cuts to scientific research on the ozone many scientist in the U.S are saying that this will jeopardize Ozone research. “It’s unthinkable that data collection is beginning to shut down in this vast country.”Anne Thompson,
Continue readingShit Ol’ Vic ‘Lock ‘em up’ Toews Said
Yes, boys ‘n’ girls, shit keeps coming outta that mouth of his. He, who recently said that it is perfectly ok to use information derived from torture, has done it again. You see, that dastardly ol’ bill c-51, that so-called ‘lawful access law’, is rearing its’ ugly head again. You
Continue readingA Choking on my Coffee Moment With Laughter
I have to learn to not read funny, ironic things in the news while sipping my coffee or anything else for that matter. It appears that (quelle surprise) the Greek parliament accepted yet another futile bail out package in exchange for even more useless draconian austerity budget. Naturally, Greek citizens

Move over Stephen Woodsworth! Heeere’s Cheryl!! Cheryl Gallant, who often shits where she eats, let’s out a doozy today. In fact, if that’s even possible, she sounded wackier than Michelle Bachman. Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant is getting herself into hot water again, this time drawing a parallel between abortion and
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Globe Columnist Tamara Baluja is Clueless
As is very evident by this article she wrote for the globe, chastising the Liberals for “lagging” in the upcoming by-election on March 12th 19th, because we don’t have a candidate yet. Well, Ms. Baluja, is you had a single clue in your head as to anything, you’d realize that
Continue readingPam Geller Pushes Her Hate-fest Agenda–Even if it Means Perpetrating a Lie
How low can Pamela Geller sink? The classification of “honour” killing has just become too much of a dog whistle for the bigotted extremes, these days. Pam Geller is running with it to promote her Islamophobic agenda. Anti-Muslim hate group leader Pamela Geller has seized on the murder of a
Continue readingGood Luck, Mr. McBrearty!
Here is a concerned citizen from the Saguenay region, who has taken things further. Mr. Jacques McBrearty has filed a criminal complaint against Senator ‘sell-out’ Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu following his remarks regarding providing ropes to prisoners so they can hang themselves if they wished. Mr. McBrearty lodged a complaint against Senator
Continue readingThose Emergency Blues: A Little Nurse Bashing to Start Your Day
For breakfast, how about some outrageous libel from physician-blogger Terry Simpson (Twitter: @DocSimpson). File this under how not to blog about a serious issue in health care: The Arizona State Nursing board has asked that this nurse [Amanda Trujillo] undergo a psychiatric evaluation. The board is charged with protecting the
Continue readingSenator Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu Sticks His Foot in it–Again!
Well, boys ‘n’ girls, here the ol’ Senator “sell-out” Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu goes again! He appears to be promoting suicide amongst prisoners. “Basically, every killer should (have) the right to his own rope in his cell. They can decide whether to live,” And boys ‘n’ girls, like the abortion debate that
Continue readingToday’s Conservative: afraid of debate, emboldened by a docile media
For the 13th time in nine months, the Conservatives have stifled debate on an issue important to Canadians, especially those approaching old age. “Enthusiastic support”, indeed. When the public is shut out from discussion, of whose support is Van Loan speaking? Mr. Van Loan made the accusations of delay in

This. This article by David Climenhaga on the recent Forum poll, who is an otherwise excellent writer out of Alberta, is another reason why I can’t read Rabble.ca for any length of time without having a meltdown. The entire premise by Climenhaga is that Forum’s two recent polls – one

Well, boys and girls, I know I’ve been gone for awhile. Blogging for me will still be sporadic as I am still dealing with health issues and learning my new position at work, which I am loving and it’s challenging and I learn something new every day. It’s all good,
