This is pretty appalling. Actually no. It is un-freakin’-believable: Last month, Julia’s daughter, Vianney, buried her mom, after the 67 year old woman died Sept. 8th at her desk, at Time Warner. “She went to Time Warner and didn’t come home,” said Vianney. What Vianney didn’t know, is that more could have been done, to […]

Believe it or not, I’m not talking about Mayor Boss Hogg and sidekick Donut Dougy. No, I’m talking about Mayor Gregor Robertson of Vancouver. You see, boys ‘n’ girls, Mayor Robertson is starting to feel a little antsy these days, wondering when or how to end Occupy Vancouver.
Robertson said the city wants . . . → Read More: Sorry if The Occupy Movement Puts a Kink In Your Plans, Mr. Mayor

I actually did a double take, and my jaw dropped, slightly when I read this: 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 on some officious hospital executive, wanker bureaucrat […]
You knew this was coming. Bomb thrown into Occupy encampment.
The right-wing media has been all abuzz from the beginning of the Occupy movement, provoking and reporting on any little incident to prove their case against the occupation. Despite the media’s initial indifference and gathering antagonism against Occupy, the real danger to those in the movement is the increasing agitation from outside.

Harold Camping instructs his followers to keep quiet following his folly over the phony rapture. He’s already fucked up twice before. The first time was 1994. When will fools who follow religious nuts ever learn?
In the meantime, I’ll sit back and pour me a delicious glass of Unibroue’s incomparable ale, La Fin du Monde and celebrate a . . . → Read More: La fin du monde, October 21. Non! Quelle surprise. Le big FAIL.

Today’s spending spree? $1.1 billion for armoured vehicles.
What, Iran’s going to invade us?
Or, 555 vehicles to bust kids for smoking dope?
Tough on crime? Cons: gimme another fix quick. Violent crime is way down and it&#…
The Happy Wanderer: Harper support unequal provinces.
Because Harper promised that Qubec’s will not be under represented in the house of commons other provinces are going to suffer. Ontario instead of getting 18 new seats will only get 13 seats. Meaning that Ontario will have in total 119 seats, but that …

Not much to add to this:
The B110 is a bus run by a private bus company that has a contract with the city of New York. It runs from Williamsburg to South Brooklyn and caters mostly to Orthodox Jews. And to hipsters, probably, with their love of retro trends, in Brooklyn! The . . . → Read More: Private bus company in Brooklyn orders women to back of bus. It’s God’s way!

You want to piss off a Conservative, come armed with facts (emphasis mine).
What Quebecor won’t tell you about its attacks on the public broadcaster
For more than three years, Quebecor has been using its newspapers, and more recently, its SunNews Network TV license to pursue a campaign against CBC/Radio-Canada. But there are some . . . → Read More: Good to see CBC fighting back against Quebecor’s petty attacks

Poor BC Blue’s Dean Skoreyko, the resident McCarthyist of the Blogging SupposiTories. He’s having, yet, another bad day. He simply, well, turns, blue whenever someone figures out his beloved Harpercon end games. Today is no different, and his Harpercon killjoy du jour is Lizzie May.
From the CBC, taken from Today’s question period:

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!
“Why should artists have to work instead of just making art?”

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. Think that might also have something to . . . → Read More: Canadians have a jaundiced view of journalists

Yes, boys ‘n’ girls, Tea-baggin’ Tommy is on another rant, once again, getting it all wrong, on his show on CJAD this fine morning. This morning’s topic is how the Quebec government is enforcing a law regarding religion of any kind being taught in government subsidized day cares. Naturally, dear ol’ Tommy, who . . . → Read More: Religion Has No Place in Government Subsidized Day Cares-If Quebec Government Is Striving For Secular Society, It Should Remove Funding From Any And All Religious Institutions

Yesterday while I was following the #OccupyVancouver twitter feed, I noticed something strange happening. The hashtag was hijacked by unrelated, idiotic counter arguments to Occupy (not necessarily those belonging to Occupy Vancouver) signs showing up in photographs published on the internet and in the media.

In some cases, horrific, gory deaths at that.

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.

Rick Mercer has outdone himself now. He ranted about the money the Finance minister is spending to try and cut government spending. 20 million dollars to find out how to cut spending. 90,000 dollars a day!
