I’ve greatly enjoyed the humbling of Vic Toews, for I’ve never had any respect for that sinister totalitarian, religious bigot, and ghastly hypocrite. And I completely agree with this. Canadians expect better. I call on Mr. Toews to step down as Minister of Public Safety. The buck stops with the

Anonymous posts another Toews video. Minister of Public Safety calls RCMP.
In this Postmedia piece, the writer Jeff Davis bends over backwards to make Anonymous look as if they are sending ‘threats’ Mr. Toews’ way, an implication that in most peoples’ eyes involves some sort of violence. There is no violence in Anonymous’ ‘threats’. There is only a warning that details

No, I haven’t seen that one yet, but the VicToews meme has been blossoming in ways you’ve probably already seen but I can’t resist posting anyway because they’re so fucking GREAT: And of course, Hitler reacted to the sleazy Vic Toews scandal: Gentlemen, start your Photoshops! (Ceiling Vic by Robert McClelland)

Safe: Child’s play. Dangerous, may warrant police raids. Conservative priorities are out of whack with reality: according to them, there’s money for fighter jets and prisons we don’t need, but cutting valuable staff from Environment Canada is okay… because there is not enough money? I guess Harper was worried that

Stephen Harper’s Spying Laws will collect way more info than the Gun Registry ever did. And on ALL Canadians (not just the gun nuts).

… with his contemptible, sanctimonious hypocrisy. With regard to @Vikileaks30, the sordid details of Toews’ personal life were not “leaked.” They were set out in documents available to anyone with reasonably effective research skills. There was no breach of the law, so there’s nothing to investigate. I can’t really improve

Some people who should know better are suggesting that universal media condemnation (as opposed to public involvement on social media) should be seen as the main factor in getting the Cons to climb back down on arbitrary online surveillance. So let’s take a ride in the wayback machine. It wasn’t

Well I see that Vic Toews has abandoned his scary role in Vic Toews and the Zombie Internet Eaters, for an even scarier role as Captain Queeg. Dear Constituents,Over the last few weeks I have been subjected to an extensive personal attack by my political opponents as a result of certain

Assorted content for your weekend reading. – No, it isn’t much surprise that poll respondents may think we’ve moved to the right as a country: after all, Con propaganda (largely echoed by the media) has been declaring that for years. But as Warren Kinsella notes, that perception bears no resemblance

In this YouTube video, activist hacker group Anonymous is demanding the resignation of Canada’s beleaguered Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews. The group also calls for the dictatorship-style online surveillance bill C-30 to be scrapped. …Read More

@vikileaks30 is no more. Perhaps the heat generated by the Conservative organ Postmedia shut it down. Whatever. It appears that the Ottawa Citizen’s detective work was highly suspect. Proved nothing but got our lazy, incompetent media on the run for a news cycle or two. @vikileaks30 fans, don’t despair. A

I’ve been watching Anonymous as it has taken on the US right-wing bully pulpit. I’ve been wondering too where is our Anonymous in Canada? In a country being overtaken by a phony religious few disguised as Conservatives intent on stripping us of our freedoms, Anonymous has been strangely quiet. If

He’s got a lot of love to give, just not for environmentalists “Terrorist action occurs when an extremist ideological group plans to carry out a violent attack that reasonably can be expected to kill people or destroy property,” (italics mine) said Michael Patton, Vic Toews’ communication director in an email
