The Noxious, Odorous, Slime that is Del Mastro…
Have you ever seen such a smarmy, creepy, two-faced, hypocritical, dishonest, schmuck as this guy??? He made a big show in the House of Commons to say that a Liberal…
To Hell with Democracy. . .
Here’s something to think about – the palestinians in the Gaza Strip elected Hamas with 45% of the vote (a victory well over most electoral victories in Canada) in an…
Robo-Con questions. . . .
Needless to say, the country is abuzz with talk of the Robo-con scandal. When considering these events several basic points must be considered. The first point is – who benefits.…
Our taunting PM…..
I find Harper’s reaction to the robo-con scandal remarkable. He expressed no real concern, no hint that something is really wrong, and simply taunts and excoriates the opposition saying “Prove…
Why I think Mr. Kinsella is Wrong. . . . (and So is Vic Toews). .
In his blog today Warren Kinsella has been bemoaning the revelations concerning the private life of Vic Toews. He tells us that what separates other parties (his beloved Liberals in…
The Reagan Legacy, The GOP and Harper. . . .
I very seldom comment on politics in the US. I grew up there and left in 1990 because I just saw no future in the country. It is a dying…
Corruption is Great! (As long as it is our corruption that is). . . .
We are now at the point where political bloggers could just write about the continual scandals and abuses of power courtesy of the Conservative Party. Today we have another one…
The only idea the Left needs is how to shut up the Right. . .
Warren Kinsella cited the ever pontificating Fancis Fukuyama today claiming that he was confused concerning the failure of the left to take advantage of the obvious failures of capitalism in…
Where do We Go from here?
So two more scandals hit a government that is now so mired in scandal and abuse they make previous Liberal Governments look like a bunch of nuns. It seems that…
Robogate and lackey Scapegoats. . . .
Saint Stephen on Robogate Yesterday Pat Martin said on CBC that the Conservatives were “laying the foundation for throwing some kid under the bus,” as a result of the massive…
Our Banana Republic. . .
Anyone who believes that the anti-democratic robo-calls were not made directly on the orders of the upper echelons of the CPC is just hopelessly nieve. This was not some guy…
Revolutionary Defeatism. . . .
In an act of what they used to, in the old days of Marxists discourse, call “revolutionary defeatism” I have a perverse kind of hope that the Conservative regime will…
First Chapter of A Book I wrote. . . .
I am posting chapters from my short, autobiographical novel concerning a year of my childhood in Santa Monica California. They are all very short chapters that can be read in…
Attack Toews and all his Friends . . .
I think the Vikileaks attack on Vic Toews is the best news-story to emerge over the last year. I say we as Canadians should expose every single detail of the…
The Death Penalty Redux . . . . .
It is quite interesting that the very week that I decided to write a blogpost about, in part, the dangers of the death penalty, the Harper regime decides to push…
On the "Reawakening" of Debates. . . . .
Well, as anyone with a pulse and 10% of political common sense knew, now that the conservatives have a majority we, as a nation have begun to talk about abortion…
A Changing Mood. . . .
I was communicating lately with another blogger whose work I greatly appreciate about the way the mood has changed in the country in recent weeks. I have found in my…
Something is wrong. . . .
I don’t think one needs to be particularly intelligent or insightful to know that something is desperately wrong with capitalist democracy. The system is ailing, there is no doubt about…
Harper’s Message to Gay People – We Dont’ Want You Here!
Anyone who thinks that Harper and his bullies were unaware of the efforts by the Department of Justice lawyers to try to delegitimize same sex marriage is a fool. Obviously…
