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

Saskboy'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

** I wrote the first part of this blog post a couple days ago, and the story is very significantly updated, so I felt it should get the full attention of readers so they have better context for what the Prescott tweets from the other day probably meant. ** There
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon – The Scope
What’s the scope of the RoboCall Conspiracy? Another Green blogger explained how to find Poutine, and narrow down who else could be involved, at least a day before the National Post figured it out and printed it. (I listed these details on March 1). March 4: “Mechanics of Robo-Calling: Not

The Leader Post could not be more funny; Funny strange, and “haha”. In a week where Robocalls are on the lips of every politically aware Canadian, they run this photo gallery… Gallery: Robots take over the world Robots swim, play soccer, and fight with lightsabers in our 2011 robot round-up.

Not surprising.

I keep encountering Canadians who think the illegal robocalls scandal is no big deal. They suggest that many of the ridings that were won by Conservatives, were in bigger margins than the alleged number of misdirected non-CPC voters, so there’s no need for by-elections. I could not disagree more, and
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon – Black Knight Winning
Why do reasonable people consider that only supporters of Conservatives were responsible for the illegal robocalls? It’s because of evidence like this: ““Last week I was contacted by a voter who told me she received two calls during the election campaign. The first call was a live call asking her
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon – Jones’ing for Poutine
Pierre Jones is now the alias of Pierre Poutine, the anonymous coward who’s behind the illegal robocalls that misdirected non-Conservatives, and self-identified undecided voters, away from election polls last Spring. According to Meier of RackNine, Jones used a Rogers IP address from Guelph during a mistake in concealing their identity.

In & Out scam… $52,000 fine. Repaying Elections Canada for illegal campaign rebate for overspending in 2006 by ~$1,300,000 … 230,000 dollars. Occupying the Prime Minister’s Office… Priceless. Some things in life are free. For everything else, there’s Election Fraud. This civil case took a lot of chutzpah for the
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: RoboCon: Fading
What are you kidding? RoboCon isn’t fading. This scandal started before May 2, 2011 with harassing phone calls to Liberals in Volpe’s riding (see CBC story if curious), and caught Elections Canada (EC) off guard on election day so they ordered warnings sent out in the media of fake phone

And here we go again… not content to agitate us further by unnecessary fancy “fighter” planes that are already said to be not the greatest, a touted prison system that privatizes and therefore over-regulates to keep profits up for the CRAP’s pals..oh, and robo-calls to skewer the elections, now we

Activity Based Funding (ABF) is a benign sounding name for fee-for-service financing of hospitals and other health care organizations. It is usually advocated by fee market supporters as giving patients more choice and rejected by pubic health care proponents as the gateway to more private health care. The Canadian Health

A small selection of photographs from the National Archives of Canada. Nurses have served with the Canadian military since Northwest Rebellion in 1885 and small contingents were sent to the South African War — the Boer War — at the turn of the last century. Nurses became an official part of

This vote to limit Elections Canada’s power, was before RoboCon came to wider public light? Makes you wonder if that’s why they are dropping this ridiculous lawsuit? And they’re allegedly caught again in 2011 moving $15000.01 expenses around in another apparent In & Out scam or just as bad (or

The last few weeks have seemed eerily similar to the build-up towards war with Iraq. First you have the pundits flooding the media with talk of how war is inevitable, then eventually the political leaders follow. At least it sounds like there’s a reasonable adult at the helm: ‘This is
