By Alison@Creekside 72-year old Ted Musson is walking the 5,000 kilometers from Victoria, BC to Ottawa to protest election fraud, both in the 2011 federal election and now the Fair Elections Act. Two years ago, he gave up his subsidized apartment, bought a 1979 RV for $2000 and set out for Ottawa with a hand-painted […]
At least somebody wants to visit Toronto
A BoB short Southern Ontario residents beware. According to an independent study released earlier this week, citizens of Windsor, Hamilton, Toronto, and London are more likely than any other Canadians to be devoured by an undead hoard.

Marois defeat is Harper’s loss too
By Montreal Simon I only wrote one post about the Quebec election, because I knew that Pauline Marois’ hideous version of the Parti Québécois was going to lose, from the moment she embraced Pierre Karl Péladeau. And he raised his fist in the air and with a crazed look on his face demanded a country. […]
Good news for Ford — BC to allow children in pubs
A BoB short: It looks like the party’s over for Toronto mayor Rob Ford, at least in BC. Two months after his trip to the Lower Mainland, during which he was dealt a jaywalking ticket by Coquitlam RCMP and photos of an after-hours soirée surfaced on social media sites, the province’s liquor regulator has finally […]
Quebec election: From Lévesque to Marois — an artist’s journey
By Gaëtan L. Charlebois Many won’t say it out loud, though many others will, but it has been a commonly held belief for over four decades that Quebec culture is superior to culture in the Rest of Canada (ROC). (This will not be the only irritating idea I will share here, so if you can’t […]

“Fair” Elections Act heads to chamber of sober pre-thought
The monster Fair Elections Act, with its “sharper teeth, longer reach, and freer hands,” is being fast-tracked to the Senate even before it passes in the House of Commons because Steve is in a huge rush to ram it — and its accompanying muzzling of Elections Canada’s investigation into Con election fraud in the last election […]

By Alison@Creekside Welcome Dimitri Soudas, Steve’s one time comm. director, campaign tactician, faithful dog since their Reform days, and as of Monday, Steve’s former executive director of the Con Party of Canada after only four months on the job for using his exec position and the Cons CIMS database to try to shoehorn his fiancée Con MP Eve Adams onto an […]
“Fair” Elections Act: Poilievre on the mat
By Montreal Simon The one good thing about the foul Fair Elections Act is the way it has transformed Pierre Poilievre into a parliamentary punching bag. Because it seems that every day somebody is taking a shot at him and his bill. And today it was the election expert Harry Neufeld’s turn to tell Poilievre […]
Standing on the shoulders of Butt
By Alison@Creekside In the House on Monday, Con MP Laurie Hawn’s memory appeared to pick up where Brad Butt’s left off, as he repeated Butt’s earlier allegations — later retracted — about voter information cards being picked up from apartment building lobbies for fraudulent voting purposes. Hawn, as per the vid excerpt above: “In the 2006 […]
