Apparently, the Official Opposition will not allow Stephen Harper‘s appetite for character-assassinating attack ads and propaganda to go unchallenged. The NDP has responded to the Conservatives’ recent attack ad targeting its leader, Thomas Mulcair. The ad, dubbed “Stephen Harper’s Solutions,” focuses on the prime minister’s economic record. It lambasts the Conservative

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Harper Government to Aid Canadian Calendar Industry (guest blog)
(The following is reported {in jest} by Richard of Cornwall) — “Since the former Liberal Government created the new territory of Nunavut, the Canadian calendar industry has been suffering. It is the intention of the Harper Government to redress this wrong.” This is a quote from Stephen Harper on a

Ethical Dean should step down from being the PM’s Parliamentary secretary, and from his Ethics Committee posting. The Conservatives should continue to use Vic “The Violator” Toews, Elections Finance Act convict, to defend Del Mastro against accusations of Election Act crimes, because that’s funny stuff. It seems the Conservatives don’t

I’d recently wondered what became of the falcons that were popularized on TV during my youth. There was a project in Regina, at City Hall, to help the birds come back from the brink of extinction. Manitoba is currently working on helping the birds too. I’d wondered how the birds

Last year there was a new musician made famous for singing not so well, to a professionally produced music video. Rebecca Black became an Internet sensation, for being blah. Her video, “Friday”, quite possibly has the most dislikes of any on YouTube. Why might you care? Because it’s given rise

The F-35 costs were (more than) double what MacKay and the Conservatives told the public. The books used to track expenses for the jets were doubled. The books for Fantino’s CPC Vaughn campaign are alleged to have been doubled. Bruce Carson, Harper’s trusted PMO adviser, was a two time convict.

I helped out at the Green Party of Saskatchewan’s AGM this year. It’s the first Green anything AGM I’ve been to. I’ve previously been to a Sask Liberal leadership convention as a member a decade ago, and the NDP convention last year as (a blogger) media. The results of the

Shaw, the Corporation If you are a lower mainland Shaw Cable customer you may have noticed a quite vague notification of a $5 [plus HST] bill increase coming in June. It is followed by a great deal of vague advertising fluff indicating that something awesome was about to happen, but

I’m downloading the latest Ubuntu Linux OS to try it out. It’s a free alternative to Windows, and comes in very handy if Windows ever quits working (for one of its various usual reasons). To download quickly, safely, and without errors, even if there’s an interruption, Bit Torrent provides those

We can’t keep letting Pierre Poutine get the credit for masterminding a national vote suppression conspiracy. Poutine is a side dish, not a main course. There’s no evidence that Poutine’s idea was the first, or the best, in an apparent illegal effort last year to benefit the Conservatives electoral chances

I don’t care if hundreds of Canadians, with specific details, recordings, and corroborating stories (some reported to authorities almost a year before the crime became famous), confirm the Conservative Party is involved. It’s a Liberal smear! And when it’s shown the Liberals didn’t have anything to do with illegal robocalls

I ended up with some facial hair in the aftermath of the Movember fundraising blitz that swept the nation. It then turned into Decembeard, then Januhairy, now Februhairy is over and I don’t have a pun for March. I was noticing I’d get at least a couple of comments a

… that Neil Hope, aka “Wheels” has died – and has been dead for 5 years. Hope was a main character on Degrassi Junior High and later, Degrassi High. These were great ground-breaking Canadian TV series back in the 80′s. The shows dealt with subjects that were taboo at the

I’m really shocked this other Saskatchewan video (from TV a few years ago) hasn’t gone viral yet. I guess all of the couch potatoes don’t have a sense of humour? Couch Attachment Syndrome Troubling Rarely Active Teens Everywhere Daily – I really like the latest Saskatchewan In Motion billboards that
