By Frank Moher It is entirely likely that James Moore decided not to run for reelection this Fall in order to, as he told us, “pursue new opportunities and be closer to my young family.” It is also entirely likely he did so because an Ottawa journalist revealed that he had been exchanging “sext” messages with a Conservative […]
The Video: “The irony is the clean-up contractors are from Kinder Morgan”
From Vancouver spill: About that 2700 litres . . .: “Officials in charge of cleaning up a bunker fuel spill in Vancouver’s English Bay now say the estimate of what leaked from a grain carrier was a conservative figure. Owen Rusticus with Environment Canada says the 2,700-litre spill estimate wasn’t based on gauges, but was […]
The Video: Vancouver oil spill: “Like, why are we here first?”
From World class assness: “Volunteers were out cleaning up the gunk off the shoreline themselves and putting up home-made signs warning to keep dogs and children out of the oily water. Good on them. Still, sea birds are notoriously poor readers and some had to be rescued when they got soaked in the gunk after […]
Vancouver spill: About that 2700 litres . . .
By Montreal Simon As I’m sure you know by now, I never believed what Cons like James Moore and Greg Rickford had to say about that oil spill in Vancouver’s English Bay. Especially when they and the Harper Coast Guard said that only about 3,000 litres of toxic bunker had leaked out of that freighter, […]
World class assness
By Alison@Creekside Say, remember last year when Rachel Maddow was absolutely gob-smacked to learn that Kinder Morgan had included the economic benefits of oil spills in its National Energy Board application to triple the size of the Trans Mountain pipeline? Well, funny story there . . . Kinder Morgan-owned company called in to clean up oil […]
Is this the Conservatives’ new youth strategy? Part 2
Continued from Part 1: By Dave Hall First published on the Port Moody-Coquitlam Election 2015 blog The apparent promotion of these young candidates by party brass and sitting MPs (as noted previously), in addition to the involvement of a well-connected digital agency with clear and deep Conservative party ties, raises a number of questions. Were […]
Is this the Conservatives’ new youth strategy?
By Dave Hall First published on the Port Moody-Coquitlam Election 2015 blog In researching Tim Laidler, the young Conservative candidate in my home riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam, I started to notice a remarkable number of repeated patterns and parallels between his social media feed and those of many other young Conservative candidates across the country. […]
Cons drop cover charge for foreign musicians
By Frank Moher We’re kind of hard on the Conservative government around here, so when it does something right, it’s only fair we note it. You might want to print out and laminate this post for safekeeping as we’re not likely to do this again anytime soon. The government has dumped the fees it was […]
Leaked docs throw new light on Fair Elections Act
By Alison@Creekside Last week, the Star published a half dozen articles based on secret memos and a 70-page slide show about the Cons’ 2015 election war room strategies, anonymously leaked to them, and as presented to the Conservative National Council (above) by Harper’s former dcomm and now executive director of the CPC, Dimitri Soudas: “Everything we do […]
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 […]
