By Montreal Simon It couldn’t have been a more pathetic sight. An angry Stephen Harper lashing out at everybody but himself. Looking absolutely desperate, and sounding like a robot. From cbc.ca: “Growing visibly more angry with every allegation coming from a senator that he appointed, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said during question period on Tuesday […]

Perps with Perks (“It’s getting crowded in here” edition)
By Alison@Creekside Welcome, Con chief counsel Arthur Hamilton, to Perps with Perks for your part in the Senate scandal — Wrighting a cheque to Mike Duffy’s lawyer — “CON FUNDS $13,560” — while Duffy was under investigation to pay off his legal bills and shut him up so as not to arouse the Wrath of […]
Duffy: More where that came from
By Montreal Simon Well as you know I’ve long predicted that Mike Duffy would be Stephen Harper’s nemesis. That he knew enough to expose the conniving thugs in the PMO and their shameless scams. And today he appears to have done just that. From the Globe and Mail: “Disgraced Senator Mike Duffy says the infamous […]
What’s in the Duffy e-mails?
By Alison@Creekside According to Mike Duffy, the PMO blackmailed him into taking a bribe to save his own skin and that of the Cons from the wrath of their base. Questions … It seems no amount of $90K carrots or Senate expulsion sticks were spared to shut down that Duffy/Deloitte senate audit. Where was it […]
Text of Duffy: “I met the Prime Minister and Nigel Wright. Just the three of us.”
Sen. Mike Duffy addressed the Senate Tuesday evening regarding allegations of misspending and the motion to suspend him. Here is the text of his notes. Honourable Senators, I rise today against the orders of my doctors who fear my heart condition has worsened after months of unrelenting stress. However the sad truth is, I allowed […]
Harper: Worst economic growth since R.B. Bennett
By Montreal Simon It’s one of the most depressing things about living in Harperland eh? The way Great Monstrous Leader commits one democratic atrocity after the other, but gets away with it by claiming he’s the best leader to manage the economy. And so many Canadians still swallow that fraudulent myth, hook, line, and SINKER. When in fact Stephen Harper has […]
Robocalls: No proxy
By John Klein (aka Saskboy) With the Robocalls trial under way, some newer information is becoming public. That’s no thanks to the judge who has imposed a partial publication ban on investigative documents. One person with a legitimate account to make robocalls at RackNine was Andrew Prescott. On Thursday he wrote me to bring to […]
Fair weather Cons, foul weather Libs
By David@Sixthestate.net Was the Lac Megantic disaster caused by too much government regulation? Probably not, but I made you look, no? I can’t resist an “I told you so” moment on recent coverage of the tragedy in Quebec. Not very long ago, I pointed out in the wake of the disastrous floods in Calgary that […]
Proud
It was as fabulous as I knew it would be, just even bigger than I imagined. Downtown Toronto was given a jolt of extra colour on Sunday as more than 1 million people, some toting rainbow flags, marched the city’s streets for the 33rd annual Pride Parade. Crowds of revellers lined the parade route behind […]
Saucy Senate should learn its place
By David@Sixthestate.net I’m intrigued by the battle lines drawn over the Senate’s recent decision to reject a terrible and churlish piece of legislation which would attempt to impose an improper and hypocritical set of financial disclosure regulations onto unions — only unions — that don’t apply to charities, corporations, political parties, or even the government […]
