By Alison@Creekside Ten years ago the Cons bought CIMS, their Constituent Information Management System, and began stuffing it with our phone numbers and adding smiley/frowny faces beside our names and whatever other info they could glean about us.

By Alison@Creekside Ottawa Citizen: Some say PM could justifiably shut down Parliament in crisis: survey A small but growing minority of Canadians says the prime minister would be justified in closing down Parliament and the Supreme Court in the face of ‘very difficult times,’ according to a survey” What a fabulously leading survey question!

War: Hey, it worked for Bush
By Alison@Creekside Last week at Goldman Sachs in New York in a Q&A with the WSJ editor, Harper seemed keen to give the impression that the US had taken the initiative and come to Canada cap in hand requesting further military contribution in the fight against ISIS in Iraq: Transcript excerpt : WSJ : “Would you rule […]
A Modest Opinion – Concrete proof we need more birth control
By Nathaniel Moher The Supreme Court of the United States, or SCOTUS as they like to be known (not to be mistaken with scrotum, the word I see, and now you’ll see, every time you look at the acronym SCOTUS), recently declared (like an old southern belle) that US employers can refuse to cover birth […]
