Don’t worry! A solution is coming I just can’t tell you what it is. Energy and economics have much in common, in fact economics is just a system to organize the exchange of energy in the form of trade. Today however I discovered another commonality between the two: analysts of

Originally appeared on BackoftheBook.ca How can I write this without sounding, well, paranoid? I believe the RCMP is watching too many people, and abusing its resources. There are plenty of signs this is taking place, and it worries me. The police should not be monitoring Canadians without having a reasonable
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Progress
In Grade 10 I read The Chrysalids, a John Wyndham science fiction that starts out describing an agrarian culture where they talk of God-like old people who could move the Earth into walls and hills. There were enough clues in the first chapter that I soon figured out that the
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Historical ideologues in the new era
The other day I was asked a question on twitter which for the life of me I could not fit an answer in to 140 characters. The question was in relation to the current and coming unrest. Time waits for no one. But what will come first? True reform and
Continue readingSaskboy's Abandoned Stuff: F-35: Don’t Need No Stinking Accountability
I am genuinely concerned that there is no viable alternative party for conservatives in Canada who have, to this point, put all of their eggs into the Harper basket(case) Conservative Party of Canada. It’s staggering, the amount of intellectual fortitude (dishonesty) it takes to justify the crimes, the lying, the
Continue readingCanadian Trends: Canada may be secretly preparing to decouple from the USD
Almost exactly one year ago I wrote a piece on my old blog about Canada’s economic situation. In it I concluded there were two possible outcomes in the medium term: So Canada, we have a big decision ahead of us. Do we decouple the CAD from the USD, effectively cutting
Continue readingThe Scott Ross: No Party Closer To Hitler Than Conservatives
It’s odd that Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper claimed last week that the NDP were soft on Naziism in 1939, not only because it was erroneous, but because of all the parties that were soft on the Third Reich it was the Conservative Party that actually funded fascists in Canada
Continue readingCanadian Trends: At what point does resistance become terrorism?
There was a lot of topics I wanted to write about today but in the end, I feel I really need to come back around to NATO military occupations around the world. They’ve found another supposed Al-Qaeda “treasure trove” of information, failed attacks, evil plans, etc. It reads like a
Continue readingCanadian Trends: The normalcy of abnormal
After the anger I felt yesterday, I have been thinking. Is it not strange that we equate today’s “wars” with real wars of the past? How has this happened? I champion democracy but not at the hand of an iron fist. What I find even stranger is that at the
Continue readingCanadian Trends: War and Hypocrisy
I have to say I am a little surprised that Harper would throw Hitler and World War II around so carelessly in a political setting to gain political points. I have to wonder what veterans are thinking about such statements. There are plenty of veterans against these “wars”. Afghanistan is not

Bungling Canadian fighter jet development: A proud Conservative PM tradition for over 50 years. #AvroArrow #F35 #Dief #Harper Canadian Military Journal (Vol. 10, Num. 4) (2010) (with bold added): Debate over the F-35 may make the debate over the NFA/CF-18 pale by comparison. When the dust settled on the CF-18

Dozens of Palestinians have been killed or wounded in Israel’s latest bombing campaign of Gaza, while the Israeli military stubbornly insists the child-killing attacks are necessary to stop “terrorism”. Such bloody assaults on Gaza are unfortunately common, and those that took place over 2008-2009 may have been the most devastating.

As reported in local Toronto-area paper The National Post, former U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney won’t be appearing any time soon in Canada. Ryan Ruppert, president of the ironically-named promotions company Spectre Live Corp., which had scheduled an upcoming appearance at the Toronto Convention Centre for Cheney and his loathsome daughter

Iran has an elected President. Iran allows for protests against the government. Iran does not have nuclear weapons and is years away from having the capability to build them.Iran has not declared war with any country. North Korea has a dictator who doesn’t hold elections. North Korea does not allow
Continue readingSong of the Watermelon: Nuclear Weapons, Iran, and War
With an all-too-familiar rhythm, the drums of war are sounding. The target? An authoritarian Middle Eastern regime set on acquiring exceptionally destructive weapons. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. This time around the country is Iran, and the weapons allegedly being developed are nuclear. The Israeli government (although

As students wage a massive strike in Quebec, over proposed tuition hikes that will nearly double rates in a few years, and with police responding like violent fascists—blinding the eye of one young student only two days ago—it seems an apt time to reflect on the hierarchy of values, matched

I hope you can make use of some of these cheeky images that could help depict the RoboCon Robocalls scandal that is sweeping the nation. Hey, our democracy is a worldwide joke, so we may as well laugh a little. Beats crying. RoboKhaaaan! *Saskboy takes a quick bow for the

There has been no information to this point that has confirmed any US Government sources were physically harmed due to their participation in ratting to US Diplomats, and in turn having their words revealed by WikiLeaks through the Afghan leak, or subsequent The Guardian leak when they published the password

The Stratfor intelligence company emails, leaked this week by WikiLeaks, have revealed that a private security agency has obtained classified information from the US Government (by the admission of Stratfor employees in emails they expected to remain confidential). It’s also revealed that Assange has a “secret” indictment against him, which
