David Emerson has been many things. A forestry executive. A Liberal MP. A Conservative minister. An advisor to the Chinese government on foreign investments. And now, despite still being listed…
The Conservative Party moved to an entirely unexpected (at least by me) and exceptionally dangerous tack on Thursday by announcing that their internal investigation had revealed the Liberals sent harassing…
The media is developing a disturbingly schizophrenic mentality about last year’s election fraud. On the one hand, there are a score of new reports every day of ridings where people…
I will be out of touch for most of the day, and if I’m lucky, by the time I get back to my computer this evening, the culprits will have…
As one commenter noted in my previous thread, the timing of this is unfortunate, to say the least. I assume it is only because Corbett is reaching 65 or some…
… in addition to the robocalled ones. I’m going to need a bigger list. I’m hardly the first to link to this story. My excuse is that I’m in Lotus…
The next week will determine whether the Conservative robocall scheme becomes the moment at which a critical mass of Canadians become aware of this government’s repeated blatant illegalities, or whether…
It’s become increasingly clear that there was not one effort to suppress votes during the 2011 election: there were several, some with robocalls, some with live callers, some with just…
Because as a historian I don’t get many chances (har har) to read books by paranoid manipulative megalomaniacs, I’ve been on the edge of my seat for months now as…
There has been quite a lull recently in govermnent appointments, presumably because there have been no more to give out, so I’ve devoted the time I would normally use adding…

Following hard on the heels of the Prime Minister’s ridiculous endorsement of the crank claim that a long-dead Mohawk woman holds the key to curing flesh-eating disease (but only sometimes),…
We already know that Vic Toews hasn’t. I’d said all I have to say on the subject, or so I thought, and then I came across this blatant fiction —…
Stephen Harper has welcomed the news that a fellow religious extremist turned head of state, Benedict XVI, is officially turning a long-dead Mohawk woman named Katherine Tekakwitha into a saint.…
First, the government asked their pet Speaker to “investigate” who is behind Vikileaks30. Now, they want the police to investigate everyone who is behind the Twitter attacks. (Lest you think…
Yesterday, I suggested that the Ottawa Citizen was playing into the Conservatives’ hands by trying to turn the new government snooping law into a story about, above all things, NDP…
If you doubted the political proclivities of the Postmedia chain, you need look no further for proof than their scurrilous and indefensible coverage of the Vikileaks30 saga. Someone — perhaps…
I suppose it doesn’t surprise me that the responsibilities of a Cabinet minister in the Harper Regime do not include reading your own bill before introducing it in Parliament. In…
A little while ago, you may recall, the Conservative Party was calling up people in Montreal to deliver the false rumour that Liberal MP Irwin Cotler was about to resign…
I don’t pay a great deal of attention to National Post columnist and climate change denialist Lawrence Solomon, who, if you can believe it, is actually dumber than Margaret Wente.…
