Gee, That Was Fast! M-312 Dies and 24 Hours Later, M-408 Crawls out of The Woodwork!

By ck, on September 27th, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, I expressed concern that another hideous fetus bill or motion would be tabled sooner rather than later. I think many of us had that sick feeling. This evening, we were Proven right. The new wank face of fetus is Langley Harpercon, Mark Warawa AKA ra ra war. He is supporting . . . → Read More: Gee, That Was Fast! M-312 Dies and 24 Hours Later, M-408 Crawls out of The Woodwork!

The Battle For Our Reproductive Rights is Won…But Why Do I Think We Haven’t Won the War?

By ck, on September 27th, 2012

I know I haven’t written about ol’ Wankworth and his wankiness in some time. Then again, I haven’t blogged about much of anything as of late. I must offer my 2 cents here, boys ‘n’ girls. I’m happy that this M-312 never came to light. Relieved, actually. However, why do I get this sinking . . . → Read More: The Battle For Our Reproductive Rights is Won…But Why Do I Think We Haven’t Won the War?

By ck, on September 15th, 2012

When I first read Jymn’s post last night regarding the Harpercons’ about face on asbestos, my first thought was that wow!

Yep, ol’ Chrissie Paradis, the “ethical” MP for the only riding that had once produced asbestos, had announced . . . → Read More: Stevie Harper is Simply Choosing his Battles Regarding About Face on Asbestos

Shona Holmes is Baaack! Yet Again!

By ck, on September 5th, 2012

And she’s a stickin’ to her story or should I say her lie about a “brain tumour” that really was a benign cyst of the petuitary gland. She’s back on the tea-party circuit again and she’s featured on the latest Koch brothers’ anti-Obama ads. Just one thing, Shona, how much are the Koch . . . → Read More: Shona Holmes is Baaack!

Media Failures During Quebec Election Campaign

By ck, on September 2nd, 2012

The Grope and Fail has decided to endorse a CAQ / Liberal ‘agreement’ of sorts.

If we could wish anything for Quebec, it would be a minority alliance of the established Liberals and upstart CAQ, one that melds experience, daring and willingess to work with the rest of Canada on our shared challenges . . . → Read More: Media Failures During Quebec Election Campaign

Why I #DenounceHarper and For That Matter, Canada Day And Opposition Parties, You’re Nothing To Write Home About Neither

By ck, on July 1st, 2012

I caught the #DenounceHarper hash tag on Twitter this morning again to commemorate Canada Day. I found it quite fitting, really.

Boys ‘n’ girls, I thought it would be fitting if I gave my reasons why I #DenounceHarper and Canada Day and why you should too.

Premier Johnny-Boy, What The Hell Did You Do Now? 58M For Asbestos, but Not For Students Or Social Programs?

By ck, on June 29th, 2012

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, I honestly thought this whole asbestos cheerleading thing would’ve died a well deserved death by now. I mean, the last remaining asbestos mine, Lac D’Amiante in Thetford Mines closed down. Premier Johnny-Boy looked to be delaying offering that 58M$ loan guarantee to the now-closed Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos indefinitely, . . . → Read More: Premier Johnny-Boy, What The Hell Did You Do Now? 58M For Asbestos, but Not For Students Or Social Programs?

Doctor and medical student interrupt Minister Joe Oliver at press conference

By Jymn, on June 24th, 2012

Dan Gardner thinks the doctor and medical student are being “thuggish”.

But I wonder what alternatives these professionals have to express their concerns and represent the Canadian public? If the Dr and student hadn’t acted “thuggishly”, would we even know that medical professionals are standing up for Canadians? . . . → Read More: Doctor and medical student interrupt Minister Joe Oliver at press conference

Another Step Toward the Death of Asbestos

I Always Thought That Women’s Rights and Access to Proper Care Was a Progressive Value

By ck, on April 8th, 2012

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, due to the fact that certain bloggers who are gung ho over Stevie Wankworth’s Bill C-312 and the fact that there was some patronizing going on for anyone daring to refute them full circle, one of my favourite blogs, Dammit Janet! is no longer found at the aggragator, Progressive . . . → Read More: I Always Thought That Women’s Rights and Access to Proper Care Was a Progressive Value

Woody-Worthless!

By ck, on April 3rd, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, it seems that that abortion debate is going to be reopened, whether we want it to or not. Yikes! Even certain “progressive” bloggers seem to be taking a shine to it.

Uh, Peggy Nash, Just Because Charest likes User Fees for our Health Care System, Don’t mean Quebecers Support Them

Well, Peggy Nash, whatever respect I may have had for you is gone now. And many thought that if she won the leadership, she would steer the NDP further to the left! Ha!

You see, boys ‘n’ girls, in some kind of misguided attempt to win over Quebec support, Ms Nash was willing . . . → Read More: Uh, Peggy Nash, Just Because Charest likes User Fees for our Health Care System, Don’t mean Quebecers Support Them

Planned Parenthood gains back the $ it lost to ideology-driven Susan G. Komen turnabout

By Jymn, on February 2nd, 2012

From Dammit Janet!

While the the big news, and the ultimately sad news, is that the Susan G. Komen foundation has allowed far-right evangelical ideology to interfere with its formerly well-respected humanitarian work, the news that Planned Parenthood has replaced the $650K it lost from Komen so quickly is good news, indeed.

Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

By Jymn, on January 1st, 2012

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement. The media will interpret this lack of visibility to the failure of Occupy and continue to treat supporters as dirty fucking hippies. The year of Occupy will have to wait until . . . → Read More: Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012
