When T$$$p says people are laughing at America, it’s because he thinks he is America. Here are some ways this is wrong, beyond the obvious. Read some of the King Arthur literature, stories of royalty and shit. The king is … [Read more]

The Disaffected Lib: Will Sergeant Horton Please Take the Stand
There’s a critical aspect to the Duffy trial that we’re not going to get out of Harper’s PMO staff or his “loyal unto death” shills in the Senate or the Conservative Party executive. It’s an aspect that goes to what appears to be a political prosecution that, it could be
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: A Sensible Response to Terrorism
We North Americans are unduly susceptible to acts of terrorism if only because terrorist acts on our doorstep, while dramatic, are infrequent. In the reign of Bush the Junior, an act of terrorism could call down All the King’s Men and All the King’s Horses on the perpetrators, real and

Online Surveillance: CSIS Chief Dick Fadden Supports Lawful Access Bill As ‘Vital’ To National Security- from this morning’s Huffpost Canada Here we go again..the slinking of these circus clowns towards a fascist state looms ever closer..and CSIS is ‘happy’ to see this legislation being pushed onto a continuously
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Shouldn’t the RCMP Mind Its Own, Long-Neglected Business?
I have found it puzzling that the Commissioner of the RCMP, the federal top cop, is writing letters to provincial chief firearms officers (CFOs) warning them not to start setting up provincial long gun registries. First of all, isn’t this a matter for the guy who oversaw the scrapping of
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: I Don’t Believe Anonymous Did Anything Wrong
Did Anonymous threaten Vic Toews as is being suggested? Did Anonymous warn Toews that, if he didn’t kill C-30, it would out him over his involvement with a Manitoba judge? In other words, did they try to extort Toews? Was he being blackmailed? I don’t think so. This question ran
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Anonymous Update on Toews
Did Vic Toews reward one of his mistresses with an appointment to the Manitoba Court of Queens Bench? That’s the allegation and, it’s claimed, the reason Harper removed Toews as justice minister to protect his government from scandal. It’s an interesting, even plausible claim but if Toews was instrumental in
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Vic Toews or Shit On a Stick, What’s the Difference?
As long as the turd is painted Conservative blue, apparently there’s very little difference. Or at least that was the message that seemed to come through from reading this assessment of Vic Toews by one of his constituents from the Red River Valley Echo: “…Vic is in no way responsible

It’s important to make a moral distinction between the actions of Vikileaks30 and Anonymous – the latter’s actions clearly constituting an overt and hostile threat – instead of lumping them together, as some eager journalists have, in sanctimonious indignation. The effect if not the intention of Vikileaks30’s tweets was to

The long-gun registry is endorsed by Hitler, Liberals should help Quebec separate to get rid of Harper, and Canadians are either Conservative or child pornographers. With a few recent cases of individual politicians lowering civil discourse in Canada, one could say they’re just isolated incidences, but in looking at their
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Is Vic Toews Blowing a Smoke Screen?
Vic Toews, apparently desperate to divert attention from his lurid past, is now saying that he’s been the victim of “criminal acts and threats of future criminal acts” against him. He subsequently expanded that to include his brand new wife and his new child too, the one he sowed while
