I’ve taken a bit of a break from posting since the election – haven’t been terribly inspired by anything.  But I, as a liberal Liberal, sure haven’t been spending my time moping about the #elxn 41 results.  Fuck it.  We’ll come back, we always do.  Democracy’s messy and while my greatest fear came true – […]

Harper’s Goal: Create a New Irrational Reality Posted: 24 May 2011 10:28 AM PDT In observing Stephen Harper for the past 20 years, I have often been reminded of the line from Shakespeare: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Rep…

Yesterday’s ‘End of the World’ media circus proves a number of things to me:

the end of the world is not coming
there are a lot of morons in this country and elsewhere
the media are like the inmates running the prison:  they’l…

Based on the media and blog reaction to the Conservatives re-appointing some failed candidates to the senate, I’d think I should be feeling a huge sense of outrage.  But, I don’t.  It does sound sketchy enough, but not quite outrage-inducing, and I’m curious why.

Two Supreme court justices announce retirements. Both were appointed by Liberal prime ministers.
Majority in the House. Majority in the Senate. And now he gets to appoint more top-court justices.
Still don’t believe that Harper’s going to …

Listening to the radio over the last few days, there’s been more talk of getting the government to step in and control rising gas prices.  I don’t think anyone understands how difficult that would be. Sure, the government could probably affect prices of our domestic production, but we do still import much of our oil. […]

Again.
All I know is I sure as hell didn’t vote for these guys.

I feel it’s safe to say that as long as we’ve got a Conservative majority, it’s very unlikely that we’ll see any kind of investigation into the price of gas at the retail level.
