OPSEU Diablogue: NDP health critic consults Oshawa community – no LHIN in sight
The organizers had to put out more chairs as the audience filled the small room in the Oshawa Seniors Centre. Upstairs they were playing Bingo, downstairs about 50 people came to talk about their frustrations with a health care system … Continue …

The amount of support I’ve received has been overwhelming, and very touching. Not everyone, however, is kind. Like this guy, Danny Sykes. Details below: “You’re a lying and ugly cunt, your lawsuit will fail and I hope you continue suffering, mentally of course as your face has already taken quite a beating by the looks […]
LisaKirbie.com: My statement on the Ornge stories
Many media outlets are reporting on a lawsuit I have launched against Ornge. I did not provide my lawsuit to anyone. I had no intention to comment on the stories as my case is before the courts and I felt that I should refrain from making any statement. Unfortunately, comments attributed to the former CEO […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: Globe Almost Takes Down Conservatives #RoboCon
Lawrence Martin was really close to having an outstanding article about the 2011 election fraud. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to have a good grasp of the evidence against the Conservative Party of Canada, despite listing some of it in the words of the unlovable election goat Michael Sona. Martin slipped by claiming the proof isn’t […]
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: How People Vote is Broken #cdnpoli #election2012
A great many people yesterday voted for people they don’t really believe in. They voted for Obama, or Romney, because they felt there was no other choice compared to the danger of the unknown, or the risk of a too-familiar vote split to let a kleptocrat win. I’m not certain what forces and situations need […]
OPSEU Diablogue: Worth repeating: We can do better — Matthews
At today’s Ontario Hospital Association HealthAchieve Minister Deb Matthews gave an illustration of how integrated health service delivery can save money and enhance patient care. She makes clear that we do need to do better. The question is,…

Pressing Politics: No Special Muskrat Falls Debate as Tories Continue to Catalyze their Demise
I’ve been trying to ignore the politics of the Muskrat Falls project lately in an effort to stick to the merits of the project as the politics surrounding this thing has just become distracting noise. If anyone wants to come … Continue re…

It bothers me how little regard professional media pays to math when “projecting” results. They have computers that can tell us if the race is clinched or not, just as they do for sports playoff spots. It’s a disgrace that it’s easier to know if a sports team has a mathematical chance of attaining a […]

So says former Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff.
The Progressive Economics Forum: Recognizing Errol Black (Obituary by Jim Silver)
Errol Black was a wonderful progressive economist and activist in Manitoba who contributed enormously over the years to our collective knowledge on labour economics, economic development, unions, and more, and was core in founding the Manitoba branch of the CCPA. He passed away on the weekend; here is a very fitting obituary written by his […]

In no particular order: He ended “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policies in America’s military. Advanced women’s rights in the workplace. Expanded access to healthcare. He appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court. Under his command, Osama bin Laden is dead. Ended the war in Iraq. He is the first

A RoboCon blog entry I made on Aug 9, 2012 has been brought up as news again by CBC, confirming my analysis from months ago. What I think is most interesting is that [Langhorne] admits RMG told voters where to vote in their script, despite explicit direction from Elections Canada

[This first appeared on Back of the Book] I find the current political air in Canada to be insufferably stupid. Despite there being excellent, professional journalists everywhere, there are many more time/space fillers who skew the public’s perception of what is going on and what really matters. One thing the

Everyone’s throwing each other under the bus (so to speak) as to why two TTC buses stranded passengers so they could go and fetch Rob Ford’s football team last week. Yes, I want to know who authorized it but an even bigger question I have is this: Just who the

Why I’m not freaking out about the idea of a Mitt Romney presidency I’m not complacent: bad things would happen. But I also have faith that, despite partisan politics, America arcs toward progress – a blog from Ana-Marie Cox posted in the Guardian online Nov. 5, 2012 Well, glad your

Canadian Blood Services says the organization of the future is going to require fewer people. Caught in a funding squeeze by their provincial funders, CBS says they have to compete with other health priorities and money is getting tighter and … Continue reading →

Since Joey Smallwood’s infamous giveaway of the Upper Churchill to Hydro Quebec, there has been a romanticism around Newfoundland and Labrador’s eventual development of the Lower Churchill. It’s been the prize of pretty much every NL premier sinc…
