Can’t help but notice on tonight’s agenda for Collingwood Town Council there are several issues that are being taken behind closed doors. While there’s a couple that would be understandly be dealt with in private, a couple I have concerns. One is the Admiral Collingwood Place development; developer Steve Assaff is making a public deputation […]

gritchik: Tim Hudak will put abortion at risk for Ontarians
Don’t just take my word for it, take theirs. Looking at Tim Hudak’s record on abortion, pro-choice advocates feel that a vote for the Conservative Party in the provincial election would put abortion rights in danger for women in Ontario. “Tim Hudak signed a petition to end abortion funding in Ontario,” said Carolyn Egan of […]

The Trails End Farmer’s Market in London, Ontario is the subject of a human rights complaint after the market owner forced a vendor to remove a trans employee from their stand. Karen Clarke, owner of the True 2 You candle company, said she was shocked to have received a call from Trails End demanding that […]
Continue readinggritchik: More on the Horwath hospital smear
By now we all know that NDP leader Andrea Horwath told a whopper of a lie during last week’s televised leaders’ debate. You know, about how her son broke his elbow and the hospital refused to cast it because they “couldn’t afford to.” The next day, after some stammering and back-peddling, she clarifies that it […]
Continue readinggritchik: When will Tim Hudak fire Randy Hillier?
When it was reported that Randy Hillier had liens slapped against his property for failing to pay close to $15,000 in back taxes, Tim Hudak did nothing. When it was also revealed that Hillier didn’t disclose those liens to the Integrity Commissioner, in violation of the rules, Tim Hudak did nothing. When it was revealed […]

I get letters… This one’s a doozy. Joseph is pissed because I didn’t post his first comment, which had I, would’ve been subject to legal action. He sent this in reply to my post on the new pro-tolerance website, www.wearenotforeigners.ca. Here’s his rant. Comments are open. Only when the Libs/NDP apoligise for their anti- Christian, […]

This time when they were caught the response was, “Tell Warren to stick it up his arse!”
They’re an articulate bunch, aren’t they?
gritchik: Andrea Horwath’s story “stripped of all credibility”
I’m not the only one who thinks Horwath needs to be held accountable for the rather inaccurate account of her son’s recent E.R. visit. Here’s what Bill Kelly, from CHML, a Hamilton area radio station, had to say: Just what the heck is going on with the Health Care Fable that Andrea Horwath tried to […]
Continue readinggritchik: Andrea Horwath has another chance to show leadership but fails. Again.
Yesterday it was revealed that NDP candidate Helmi Charif had posted on his Facebook page that Liberal and Tory governments would allow kids to starve to death – equating the horrific starvation of African children to what could happen here in Ontario if the New Democrats don’t form government. Even I, the most partisan of […]

These videos are not just misreading of lips, they are music videos in their own right. They all have lyrics that might make you blush, so don’t let any kids hear them or you may hear some interesting words repeated at awkward moments. Obama goes off track to make friction after we eat lunch: Russian […]

Seriously, how hard is it to obey parking signs, laws, etc? I guess for the Tories it’s impossible.

“I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.” – Thomas Jefferson “There is a class warfa…
Continue readinggritchik: Tory MP Maurice Vellacott is a jackass
Today, Vellacott declares International Planned Parenthood Federation a “nefarious” organization and complains they are performing procedures on women that he believes are actually early abortions. His two page rant, so eloquently titled, The Dupes of Hazard Reruns – International Planned Parenthood’s Weasel Words, Dishonesty, Deceit and Death, is full of ignorance, rage and hate. Tell me, […]
Continue readinggritchik: Abortion is always “on the table”
Yesterday, Sun columnist, Anthony Furey asked the Twitterverse if any of us had any questions we’d like Furey to ask Tim Hudak. This was mine: Today, I sent a Tweet to Furey to follow up. In response, I get this: Tim Hudak has vowed to defund abortion services in Ontario. In writing. In an email […]

There are no winners in the upcoming legal battle between tobacco companies that hid the dangers of smoking, and the governments who regulated and once encouraged the use of the cancer causing drug. The losers are clearly the Canadian taxpayers, and everyone who has lost a loved one to the normalization of a deadly addiction. […]

America is going to start building a fence to keep out “terrorists” from Canada. If you’ve got ripped MP3s on your iPod, good luck staying out of the courts. The Appease American Imperialism Act is almost through the House of Cave-ins. With aggressive idiots like this working for Homeland Insecurity, why would you want to […]

I’m going to assume that Calgary’s Civic Camp is a success, because they have an awesome mayor who nobody expected to win. == Things could be worse.

Yesterday, Tim Hudak was quoted as saying his “heart goes out to” Progressive Conservative candidate Pam Hundal and her husband, Gurmeet “Bill” Bhangal, who is appearing in court today on sex assault charges. The candidate herself refused to comment. Here’s the backstory: This past April an incident occurred which resulted Hundal’s husband being charged with […]

The State Department is one of those organizations that deems a hyperlink as “publication” of the material it links to. Publicity, almost certainly, but it’s impossible to knowingly and forever publicize what is being linked to, because websites are dynamic and links get broken due to their targets’ changes. And the State is eager to […]

Yesterday, September 27, the Global Footprint Network declared as Earth Overshoot Day: the day that humans have used up all renewable resources available for the year. Not good. This obviously cannot continue. Limitless growth in material consumption a…
