The WHCD has always included a roast, so long as I can remember back to the W Bush years. Colbert’s roast of Bush is among my most favourite moments in history. Why are you guys making this about Sarah’s looks? I said she burns facts and uses the ash to

Things Are Good: America Might Find Salvation in Satire
2016 witnessed the election of Donald Trump thanks in a large part to Russian meddling in the American democratic process. One of the most effective things that the Russians did was lie and spread contradictory information to make it hard for people to discern reality. Trump’s marketing skills made use
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: What Comey Left Out
Former FBI director, James Comey, has been getting well deserved comeuppance from the American left for not taking responsibility for the Hillary email fiasco, late campaign, that may have cost her the White House. The standard complaint is that Comey was playing Republican politics when he announced the email investigation

When someone is correct multiple times about major events, it’s worth hearing what they have to say about the latest unfolding. Trump’s Presidency is crumbling, and if Americans wake up, it won’t last long into next year.
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Batshit Crazy
That’s Trump’s problem. Between the ears – it’s all guano. Well, to be accurate, cobwebs and guano. Trump recently took a swipe at Trans Canada. The Mango Mussolini was deeply offended that Trans Canada never thanked him for clearing the way for the Keystone XL pipeline. He said they would
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Hey, Canada is in the Spotlight Again. In Case You Couldn’t Guess It’s About the Tar Sands.
The Guardian does like to periodically remind us that, when it comes to climate change, nice, decent, oh so polite Canadians are utter swine. And they’ve got a point. Justin, he’s all for the Tar Sands. Why, that’s how Canada is going to have a green future. Why didn’t he just
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: The Slippery Slope of Privacy
Those implicated in the Cambridge Analytica/AggregateIQ scandal inevitably contend that their uninvited intrusions and targeted messaging may have been unethical but they dispute that their acts were illegal and close with the assertion that there is no proof that their skulduggery actually changed anything, that it manufactured any votes for
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: I’ve Got an Idea to Rescue Justin From His Slump
Unfair or not, Justin Trudeau has taken a hit in the public’s mind over his pretty clumsy trip to India. With JT et famille sporting an elaborate wardrobe of Bollywood’s best fashions, the Indian press took the piss out of him pretty relentlessly. The local scribblers piled on. Now Trudeau’s
Continue readingCuriosityCat: Trudeau’s Government is screwing up the Trump Steel Tariff issue
And why is this happening? Because the Canadian government has not done its homework. It has been obvious for more than 18 months that a Trump presidency would pose special problems for the small Canadian economy, but you would never have guessed this from the activities and statements of the

Truth be told I wasn't quite certain how to best title this article and I'm still not sure that the title I have given it really addresses what I'm about to comment on. When Patrick Brown resigned as leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, interim leader Vic Fedeli soon opted

This is pretty much how you could imagine things would go wrong if you were caught disarming a crazed gunman before or as police arrive on the scene. Garces and Blackburn are working with the city to ensure the medical bills are paid, but Garces hopes for one other item:

It has been a while since ARC posted a story concerning Ezra Levant and "Rebel Media." In some ways they seem to have recovered from the disastrous spring and summer of 2017; the anti-Semitic rants of Gavin McInnes, Laura Southern and Faith Goldy dancing around the edges of white nationalism

Put on your irony seat belt folks. When I wrote the article detailing the reaction to the George Stanley acquittal, I used the Facebook group, "Canadians Against the NDP and Liberals (Information & Facts)" as a representative sample of views from the far right in Canada. Since then I have been

ARC has spoken somewhat briefly about Glen Dumont in previous articles: He can be found walking around downtown Vancouver, sometimes attending anti-government rallies in support of those causes or at events he opposes generally being mildly annoying. In almost all of these cases he will provide a Live Feed of

While the bodies are still warm from the latest mass U.S. school shooting, at least no one has the lack of taste or class to publicly defend gun rights, oh, wait, … pic.twitter.com/19WLJ5AnBX — CC (@canad1ancynic) February 17, 2018 This past Wednesday there was another mass shooting in the US,

The ranking minority member on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, says they’ve uncovered an abundance of evidence of collusion with the Russians and obstruction of justice involving Donald Trump. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said Wednesday that the panel had seen an “abundance” of
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: Grease the Skids, It’s Looking Stormy
It’s a now familiar pattern for the Trump brigade. At first deny everything, no matter how implausible the denial, and hope that whatever it is dies a natural death. If repetitive denial doesn’t work, invent some tall tale, again no matter how implausible, and see if that won’t work. Trump

It may be time to get out the magnifying glass, fire up the Meerschaum calabash and dust off the deerstalker. The game is afoot and the sleuths are in hot pursuit of – Donald Trump. No, this isn’t Robert Mueller’s gang. This is the Sherlocks, the private eyes. For the
Continue readingThe Disaffected Lib: It’s No Wonder They’re Pals.
Donald Trump and Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, seem to like each other – a lot. Trump just has a baked-in fondness for his fellow despots. They’re like peas in a pod. It’s not entirely clear that Duterte was inspired by Trump when he announced that his soldiers should shoot female

Dysfunctional. Childish. Self-centred. Narcissistic. Ideologically myopic. Illiterate. Cranky. Capricious. Arrogant. Scheming. Petty. Ill-educated. No, I’m not writing about our local council (although, yes, all those words apply equally to The Block). These are some of the words that came to mind as I read Michael Wolff’s book, Fire and Fury:
