By Montreal Simon It’s an inspiring sight, and a chilling one. Kevin Page, the parliamentary budget officer standing up for the right to know the truth, in a country where the Big Lie rules. As the Cons try to smear him and muzzle him as they have so many others. They have attacked him for […]
Parliament’s darkest day, and finest
By Montreal Simon It was the Canadian Parliament’s darkest day, and at the same time one of its finest. Each new round of voting began with a round of applause from the New Democrat benches and ended with whoops and cheers from the Conservatives whose majority might means they’ve voted down every motion so far. […]
Renamed ferry terminal is fitting tribute to Jack Layton
A BoB short: The Toronto Island Ferry Terminal is set to be renamed in honour of the late NDP leader, Jack Layton. Also a long-time Toronto city councillor, Layton died of cancer last year. The motion was put forward by Mayor Rob Ford, who said that naming the terminal after the widely-admired politician was a fitting […]
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 […]
