By Jymn, on March 10th, 2012

This is disgusting. Stephen Maher, along with Glen McGregor, is doing a yeoman’s job of reporting the beginnings of the Robocalls scandal.

Another Step To Criminalizing Dissent?

By ck, on March 7th, 2012

It certainly looks that way as the Harpercons and the RCMP turn Canada into a more McArthyesque place to live. Apparently, one Mr. John Allsop became a “person of interest” as the RCMP made a special house call to his place of residence, basically, telling him he should watch what he does and . . . → Read More: Another Step To Criminalizing Dissent?

Keep thinking you live in a democracy, dear.

What’s happened to my country? I went away for a couple of weeks and all hell broke loose. I came back to find that someone named Poutine stole the last election. At first I thought this was a typo, that they meant Putin.

The new Conservative journalism: we really want to get to the bottom of Robogate. Stop laughing. We do!

By Jymn, on February 25th, 2012

Funny how fast Canadian Conservative writers and operatives can turn on the ethics charm offensive as they quickly close their bag of dirty tricks and begin concern trolling for truth and transparency when it looks good for them. Stephen Taylor and Tim Powers, Conservative writers both, have shown sudden concern about the ethics . . . → Read More: The new Conservative journalism: we really want to get to the bottom of Robogate.

American law enforcement officials: “U.S. is becoming ‘more progressive’ than Canada”

By ck, on February 10th, 2012

Well, I’m sure many Liberals can rest easy, for now–the fetus fetishist, Trifon Haitas, lost the nomination to advertising exec, Grant Gordon last night.

Pam Geller Pushes Her Hate-fest Agenda–Even if it Means Perpetrating a Lie

By ck, on February 6th, 2012

How low can Pamela Geller sink?

The classification of “honour” killing has just become too much of a dog whistle for the bigotted extremes, these days. Pam Geller is running with it to promote her Islamophobic agenda.

Today’s Conservative: afraid of debate, emboldened by a docile media

By Jymn, on January 31st, 2012

For the 13th time in nine months, the Conservatives have stifled debate on an issue important to Canadians, especially those approaching old age. “Enthusiastic support”, indeed. When the public is shut out from discussion, of whose support is Van Loan speaking?

By Jymn, on January 28th, 2012
