Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: A Scandalous Opinion
Kelly McParland’s article title intrigued me at first. “A scandalous absence of scandal in robocalls scandal” However, while reading it, I got angry. It wasn’t about the scandal behind how many people are brushing off this severe perversion of our democracy. Kelly’s one of those people brushing it off! And
Continue readingCritical Brain Candy: Sustainable ideas
There’s a new list of Top 10 Easy Ideas For A Sustainable 2012 over at YouSustain. This years list seems extra informative because of the ability to show what the CO2 amounts discussed actually mean, via links to the new tool How Much CO2 Is That? Let me know of any
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: Prime Minister’s Guilty Mind
The Prime Minister is acting like someone with a guilty mind. It’s been hard on all Conservatives I’ve spoken with to admit this is the case. Consider you’re a Conservative (if you aren’t), and imagine the possibility that the Prime Minister is implicated in a conspiracy to commit elections fraud.

Cash was truly great. I hadn’t heard this song until Tuesday, but it even has caragana bush mentioned in it. Not sure why someone would bed down in it though, it’s really prickly if not the mature branches that would provide little shelter. – Hat tip to OminoCity and SaskNews
Continue readingLeft Over: A Mammoth Mistake….
There’s an article on the CBC site today about scientists in Russia and South Korea who are going ahead with an attempt to clone a wooly Mammoth. The comments section is full of people on both sides of the fence, some who think it’s a ‘cool’ idea, and some who

You’ve likely seen at least one list, published in a newspaper’s ‘business’ section, of tips for how to manage that unruly influx of “young punks” wreaking havoc on workplaces around the world: the millennials (or Generation Y). Over at the CCPA’s Behind the Numbers blog, I’ve combined some old material with some newer numbers

Reading poetry is apparently cool; At least as cool as the Maple Leafs are. I hope I did a service for my country in reading this. Service was a pun, sorry about that. – Special thanks to my Green blog buddy, Jim Bobby for the poem adaptation.
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Official Complaints: Nothing Happened
“…Nothing happened” Elizabeth May’s passionate speech imploring our “tough on crime government to get tough on electoral crime!” The video is a week old, but is as relevant at my writing, as it was back then. There’s been additional evidence of micro-targeting though that points to a national party being
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Bruce Carson Slipping Away?
Oil Man Bruce Carson is possibly getting a free pass from a government who came to power claiming to be tough on lobbyist stains. After being caught red handed with ex-con Bruce Carson in the Prime Minister’s Office, advising Prime Minister Harper, the report on what to do has been
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: ConCalls: Poutine Delayed is Justice Denied
There’ve been murmurs about renaming the RoboGate/RoboCon/RoboCalls/RoboScam scandal into something else, or dropping a cutesy name altogether. The fact is there were live calls made as well as robodialed calls, where the voice pretended to be representing Elections Canada, and Constitutionally illegal fake information was given to the phone call
Continue readinggritchik: Wait, it’s 2012, right?
A recent survey revealed that nearly one in ten men believe it’s okay to hit a woman. One in ten!. Not only that, but also 48 per cent of men agree that “if a woman wears provocative clothing, she’s putting herself at risk for rape.” Alberta’s female premier, Alison Redford,
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Lives Well Lived
The other day while I was out having a fantastic day meeting new people, my Great Aunt Inez had passed away. I learned about her death when I returned home, and didn’t feel as sad as I expected I would, because she’d been unwell for more than a year after
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: SaskBot Decodes a Little More RoboScam
If Del Mastro is a robot, expect his head to blow off from a serious logic error [Star Trek style], any day now. The Liberals made an improper robocall, in Guelph of all places, and it confused the issue around the Conservative-supporting illegal robocalls across the country that impersonated Elections
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon: About Those Phone Lists
Now that Poutine’s identity is [almost] out in the open, we need to know how he made those calls. Fortunately I know some good bloggers who can help you understand that part of the Poutine election fraud conspiracy I call RoboCon (AKA RoboGate, RoboCalls, RoboScam, Scam Calls Scandal, Decepti-calls, etc.)

This is the sorta thing that makes me glad, yet again, that I came to Canada and took out citizenship decades ago.. I may have been born in the USA, but I was lucky enough to escape during the ’70′s, and things have only gotten worse, for women especially, although
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon: Where’s Waldo? Who’s Poutine?
Canada’s short-lived version of Where’s Waldo, is now closing one chapter in the morning, to open a new phase of the search. Will Pierre Poutine finger their co-conspirators, and spill the curds about the whole electoral fraud scheme? I’m guessing that is unlikely to happen, so it will be up
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon: Poutine Hot and Fresh on Monday
Monday morning is going to eat Pierre Poutine for breakfast. If that doesn’t make sense, you’re not following RoboCon closely enough. Poutine is the alias of a person in Guelph that has conspired with someone who gave them access to the phone numbers of thousands of Canadians who were undecided

The full exchange is on my Black Knight post. D.I.D. writes: If we revert to mob mentality and, like the French Jacobins, call for the King’s head, then we are no better than Harper and his political mafia. I think we have to start shaking some trees already, to see

Peru – the heart of the Inca Empire – and thereabouts is where the potato originated, to be spread around the world after Europeans ‘discovered’ it. Off Peru’s coast a “weird trick of climate and topogrophy” created “[s]warms of anchovies (which) fed the birds that produced the guano that fertilized
