Guest Commentary From The Salamander On Pierre Poilievre And The Company he Keeps
Because he doesn’t maintain his own blog yet offers blistering commentary that lacerates the pretensions of his subjects, I am once more placing as a guest post the searing analysis…
Is Pierre Poilivre Related To Joe Oliver?
They certainly seem to be singing from the same hymn book. Orwellian and hypocritical are inadequate descriptors of this little twit: And speaking of Orwellian, how else might one describe…
The World We Are Destroying
My friend LeDaro often posts videos that depict the world around us, poignant reminders of what we are so blithely destroying through our heedless consumerism and governments that know the…
