Why Mulcair is winning
By Montreal Simon OK. So I was wrong. When Christy Clark became the latest Con stooge to denounce Thomas Mulcair, for simply pointing out that the Dutch Disease is killing our manufacturing sector, I said it could only mean one thing. Big Oil and its Con puppets were scraping the bottom of the barrel. But [...]
Robocalls: The seven deadly ridings
By Allison@Creekside As a follow up to my earlier chart showing Steve’s Margin of Victory in ridings with the closest vote margins, I’ve adjusted it to include only the seven being contested in court for voter fraud and added two columns of polling data from an EKOS research paper based on a recent phone survey [...]
Jack Layton’s bequest to the West
By Frank Moher As God’s cruel jokes go, this one’s a doozy. Jack Layton, having built the NDP into the Official Opposition and created a sense of hope for the resurgence of a genuine left in Canada, one that would keep the right from running roughshod over the poor, the middle-class, and those who see [...]
Granny Turmel and the red separatist scare
By Montreal Simon As the Liberals continue their fevered pathetic assault on Nycole Turmel. No doubt hoping that out of her ashes, their shrunken party will rise again, like some fleshless phoenix. Or some charred scarecrow. Even as they help fuel comments like this and this and this in the pages of the MSM. It [...]
Bill Blair’s G20 alibi
By Alison@Creekside An interview with Andre Marin, Ontario Ombudsman and author of the G20 report “Caught in the Act,” sheds a little light on the blackout surrounding who was responsible for ordering kettling at the G20 a year ago. Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair, as we have previously heard, had not heard of the term kettling [...]
Who needs attack ads when you have the Globe and Post?
By Montreal Simon Well I must admit it’s looking bleak out there. It’s been raining for days. The traffic cones are sagging like most of the population. And the Dark Lord of Canada is working feverishly in his castle preparing to unveil his zombie cabinet under a cone of silence. From The Globe: The pieces [...]
Election 2011: The Liberals elect the Conservatives
By Alison@Creekside Just a 2% increase in the popular vote took the Cons from 143 seats in 2008 to a 167 seat majority tonight, thanks to our fucked up first-past-the-post system and because of what happened in key ridings in Ontario where presumably the Lib voters moved over to the Cons: ie., in Toronto the [...]
The NDP surge: Thank Adam’s generation
By Dave Brindle Cousin Gordon and I – he, the country boy, and me, from the city – talked prior to his oldest son, Adam’s, birthday this winter. “Adam turns 18,” Gordon said. “He’ll be able to vote.” His first thought wasn’t that his son was now eligible for a draft, or of his son’s [...]
Doing the Orange Wave
By Montreal Simon As you know I have always tried to be as non-partisan as possible. All I want is ANYONE but Harper. But these days, like most people in my neighbourhood, I’m also hoping for an orange wave. I’m hoping for that because I honestly believe that what Jack Layton has managed to achieve [...]
Is Trost right again?
By Alison@Creekside Con MP and anti-abortion crusader Brad Trost, who lists being a member of the cross-party Pro-Life Caucus as one of his duties as an MP on his website, addressed the Saskatchewan Pro-Life Association’s annual convention on Saturday and thanked its members for their help in killing off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. “Let [...]
