By Montreal Simon To see him standing up for a small First Nation that is fighting a giant foreign oil company is so inspiring. An example to us all. To hear him denounce Stephen Harper and his foul Con regime is music to my ears. “Canadian rock icon Neil Young launched a blistering attack on […]
Conservatives
Moore: The mask drops
By John Klein (aka Saskboy) Conservatives are not responsible for your neighbour’s children (although your neighbour’s children will eventually be paying off debts incurred by Conservative Ministers). Conservatives only feel responsible for your neighbour’s children when they street race, have sex, use drugs, or are bullied. Full bellies are definitely not their responsibility, unless it’s […]
Solidarity whatever
By Rod Mickleburgh These are strange days, indeed, for public sector unions. Big developments, not always happy ones, are everywhere. Yet the dearth of labour reporters and collective yawns from editors and the public alike have combined to obscure groundbreaking events that would have dominated front pages not so long ago, when unions were considered […]
Will CBC finally lose its Don Cherry?
By Montreal Simon It’s not a good news hockey story. It’s a huge blow to the CBC: “For years, HNIC has been a cash cow that helped float many of CBC’s other news and original programming endeavours, with some estimating it was worth $200 million, and up to half of the TV network’s advertising revenue.” […]
Senate scandal: The bagman cometh
By Alison@Creekside Please welcome Senator Irving Gerstein, chief Con bagman and in-and-out election scheme perp, to Harper’s Parade of Perps with Perks for what the Mounties allege was his role in trying to kill off the Deloitte audit into the expenses of Mike Duffy. At a Con Party meet earlier this month, Gerstein announced to […]
The Mountie who may bring down Harper
By Montreal Simon I’ve always thought it ironic that a man called Greg Horton should be the one who might bring down Great Timmy Leader by exposing the corruption of his evil empire. But it wasn’t until today that I realized how much we owe that RCMP investigator. From the Ottawa Citizen: “Mountie investigating the […]
A Modest Opinion — Thank God for Duffy and Ford
By Nathaniel Moher [Editor’s Note: Please be advised that this article has been edited to remove any sort of libel . . . and also comedy.] Let’s be honest, guys, for the last four years I’ve been doing my best to try and convince you that Canadian politics are at all interesting. I mean, sure […]
Senate scandal: If it’s a bribe, how come no charges?
So, the RCMP are calling the payment between Nigel Wright and Mike Duffy a “bribe” and “breach of trust.” No charges yet. How come there are no charges from the Crown prosecutor? The justice system shouldn’t wait until there is an angry protest 24/7 outside of the PMO before they enforce the law once they’ve […]
Flaherty’s magic surplus
By Montreal Simon Well in case you thought that the Con regime was nickel and diming veterans, and killing good jobs all over the country, because they absolutely HAVE to slay the deficit. Or as Jimbo Flaherty warned us: We could find ourselves in a big black hole, the economy is fragile, the global risk is huge […]
Coyne changes the channel
By John Klein (aka Saskboy) One of the not-so-solemn duties of the blogosphere is to hold the Main Stream Media in check when they go a little astray. I’m not sure if I should hold Andrew Coyne’s hand as I walk him back to where he was a week ago, or if I should slap […]
