Interesting Omissions
The government released a list of war criminals living in Canada, today. I note that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense were left off the list. A clerical…
Of Crime And Statistics
Two things occur as I read the latest evidence that crime is down. First, thank God unreported crime is still high and second, thank God this government is going to…
Poor Paul Krugman
I rely on him for accurate economic analysis. I may have to stop going to his page though. It is hard watching someone you admire, sink into despair. That is…
Tomorrow’s Headline
Right wing media, "Shocked! Shocked!", to be thought of as right wing.
I’m An Old Man! I’m Confused!
Did anyone else get an Uncle Leo vibe from Murdoch's "old man" routine yesterday? It is the oldest trick in the book, the old "I can't be guilty because I…
Deja Vu All Over Again
Does this sound familiar?: As Cameron rushed through South Africa and Nigeria on a whistle-stop trade tour, aides urged reporters to focus on other issues. "Perspective" was a word that…
Dear Mr. Plamondon
I just read with interest, your editorial on iPolitics, regarding public sector pensions and I need to clarify some things with you. Is it your contention that the best way…

The World They Made
If you want to know the state of the relationship between democratically elected governments of the West and the multinational corporations, all you have to do is look at the…
Attention Americans
These people are going after the real villains of the crash. They are the real Tea Party, not the Koch Kommandos.
Why We Fight
The slogan must be "Pensions for all", because make no mistake, this government is after your kids' pensions and hoping you will not care.
This Is Not The Country You Have Been Looking For
You have to hand it to the propagandists in the PMO, with all their happy talk about our brilliant success in Afghanistan. They know how to spin bullshit. Just because…
Love Letter To America
Happy birthday.
I Don’t Judge A Man…
By his sexual orientation, but by the state of his dress. Charles Adler gives a hysterical "Some of my best friends are Gay" defense of Rob Ford. This is a…
Socialism, Conservative Style
Lemon socialism that is. It is a wonderful brand of socialism wherein profits are private and losses are nationalized. It is also called "bend over taxpayers" in certain circles.
And Just To Add Some Spice
I have always loved this song. Always. I know, it is a separatist anthem and I don't care. The imagery is beautiful, human and dare I say it, quintessentially Canadian.
