Vic Toews is one very creepy human being. Given his comments characterizing characterizing defense lawyers as getting rich off of guilty criminals [see video below], he really is a disgrace as a Minister, too. Can anyone forget that he also claimed Canadians who oppose his Internet spy bill, are pedophile

Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon: Money Goes on a Holiday?
Does it surprise anyone else that there are branches of RBC and ScotiaBank in the Cayman Islands? There’s even an Elgin Ave. which reminds me of Ottawa. View Larger Map Under Lord Elgin, the first real attempts began at establishing responsible government in Canada. Responsible government? What’s that? I guess

Another important piece of historical evidence in the scandal that will be rocking Canadians’ political beliefs for years to come: Conservatives admitted in December 2011 to a local Ontario paper that a Conservative phone number was responsible for some phone calls that mislead voters. This fits into the pattern that

It’s amusing enough that such an organization exists (if indeed it actually does) and its goals so lofty but judging from the banner photo, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the group for NAMBLA. Creepy. H/T: Mario in comments to this post. X-posted at Let Freedom . . . → Read More: What’s wrong with

Hindsight. It’s a bitch. It’s also bitter and hypothetical at times, so take these particular musings in that context. It’s a “what could’a been”. Jack Layton would have possibly been Prime Minister last year, had a sweeping campaign of election fraud with voter suppression not taken place across the country.

Conservative Canadians are sympathizing with their captors. Just happy to have finally kicked the pesky 2 year election cycle with a Conservative “stable” majority government, the fact that it was tainted (more correctly “stolen“) by rampant electoral fraud doesn’t seem to sway everyone into calling for justice. Fortunately there are

It’s apparent to many (bloggers) that the systems Canadians entrusted to keep our election free of crime to a point where we could trust the result as legitimate, have let us down. As this staggering truth percolates through Canadian political culture, it means changes will have to take place for

The law students at Queen’s University recently celebrated their annual talent show “Lawlapalooza”, and kicked things off with this parody of Drake’s “Headlines”. To all those law students preparing for final exams (and everyone who remembers what that’s like): enjoy.

Collingwood Councillor Joe Gardhouse has provided us with some, uh, colourful commentary over the years at the council table. Last night’s “who the heck wants to go to Uxbridge?” joins: “Pussy Patrol” “Have the guts, have the nuts”

As we near a month since the RoboCon/Robocalls scandal burst onto the blogosphere and main stream media in a big way, there are no signs of it fading. When the breadth of the scandal is known to more Canadians, it will result in a change of government, I’m sure of

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

Years ago, I had a certain grudging respect for John McCain…after all, he had fought his way through debilitating torture as a POW, seemed to be a bit of what, in Canada, we used to call a Red Tory, and until the last several years, was probably the least offensive

Years ago I bought two XO laptops from the OLPC program. I got one, and the other went to a child in Mongolia or another country where technology is scarce. Back in 2009 (or was it ’08?) it was hard to get an XO as a Canadian. There were no

What was the bill that Pierre Poutine paid for using PayPal and their gift credit card? Maybe someone knows this already, but here’s my speculation and calculation: Assuming 1.9 cents/minute, for a 1:09 minute call (1.15minutes) sent to 5,053 people = 2.185 cents * 5053 = ~11041 cents = ~$110.41
