Any Bets As To What Happens Next For Stevie?

By ck, on May 20th, 2013

After that twitter storm of #PMHarperMustResign, I found a few interesting tweets. Got me thinking. We already knew that Stevie Spiteful was planning to shut the place down early and prorogue and return in the Fall with a brand spanking new cabinet with fresh faces and a Throne speech even before the shit . . . → Read More: Any Bets As To What Happens Next For Stevie?

A Few Questions Regarding Senate Gate, Some Thoughts and Why Is All Excused if You’re a Conservative?

By ck, on May 19th, 2013

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, it appears that Stevie has had a bad week. What does Stevie do when the going gets tough? He either runs and locks himself into the nearest toilet available or skips town.

Senategate has proven to be no different. When revelations surfaced regarding Porky Puffy Duffy’s 90 grand “gift” . . . → Read More: A Few Questions Regarding Senate Gate, Some Thoughts and Why Is All Excused if You’re a Conservative?

Oh Bob Fife, Are You Suggesting That You Get Paid Less Than Your CBC Counterparts?

By ck, on May 1st, 2013

That is the question @YukonGale asked on Twitter tonight during tonight’s episode of Power Play on the boob tube this fine evening. I watched it too. For those who did not watch, Don Martin asked both journalists (Toronto Star’s Tim Harper and of course, Bob Fife, CTV’s Ottawa bureau chief) he had on . . . → Read More: Oh Bob Fife, Are You Suggesting That You Get Paid Less Than Your CBC Counterparts?

To Those Knocking Teaching as not Real Work Experience; You Must Not Really Value Your Children

By ck, on April 15th, 2013

Boys ‘n’ girls, this is a rant that is long overdue. I’ve seen the righty trolls bitch about teachers being paid too much or they’re being greedy every time there is a labour dispute as it happened in Ontario recently. They bitch that teachers don’t really work all that hard and they have . . . → Read More: To Those Knocking Teaching as not Real Work Experience; You Must Not Really Value Your Children

Dear Ol’ Baggy Babs

By ck, on March 25th, 2013

No, boys and girls, I am not talking about ol’ Babs Kay…this time. I’m a talkin’ about Connie Blah Blah Black’s other half, Babs Amiel.

It goes like this.

Dear Babs, Just finished reading your recent trash in Maclean’s. Thanks to you now, I have indigestion. I have read from many apologists for . . . → Read More: Dear Ol’ Baggy Babs

Ya Know How Media Types and Pundits Like to Say Justin Trudeau is Too Inexperienced to Lead? Well, Just a Moment…

By ck, on March 17th, 2013

Justin Trudeau may not be my first choice for Liberal leader, but I have to say, watching that conservative media all go in a tizzy over Justin’s lack of experience is really rich. I guess Petey Penashue trying to explain his job, badly, slipped under the radar. It won’t slip under our radar. . . . → Read More: Ya Know How Media Types and Pundits Like to Say Justin Trudeau is Too Inexperienced to Lead? Well, Just a Moment…

The Language of Oppression

By Kim, on March 17th, 2013

Tweet Muzzled. Our Scientists. Civil Servants. Librarians and Archivists (? Yes, you read that correctly, Librarians and Archivists). Our Members of Parliament. Journalists. Activists. Charitable and Environmental Orgs. Have I missed anyone? I have a problem with the way muzzled gets used these days. In this Governments actions and in the casual way . . . → Read More: The Language of Oppression

Why I’m Embarrassed to be Canadian…Again! Tom Flanagan Edition

By ck, on February 28th, 2013

I was on Twitter earlier this evening and some of the tweets quite frankly made my blood run cold. It seemed that quite a few out there were actually minimizing ol’ Tommy Flanagan’s musings about Child pornography. Flanagan’s not evil–only trying to be controversial, some say. Others clearly too stupid to understand the . . . → Read More: Why I’m Embarrassed to be Canadian…Again! Tom Flanagan Edition

Is the National Post working in tandem with Sun News?

By Jymn, on February 23rd, 2013

I can’t help but notice that National Post’s Jonathan Kay has been trumpeting Sun News Network and Ezra Levant lately. Which seems odd in that Kay works for Sun Media’s primary competitor, Postmedia.

It’s not just the free praise and publicity that Kay has showered on Levant and co. It’s most likely a . . . → Read More: Is the National Post working in tandem with Sun News?

Trolls and Polls

By Kim, on January 25th, 2013

Tweet Updated at bottom Racism and ignorance are obviously alive and thriving in Canada today. I can’t help feeling overwhelmed by it. Saddened. Discouraged. But I have this doubt in my mind, based on stories that have surfaced over the last few years. We all know that Stephen Harper is extremely controlling in his . . . → Read More: Trolls and Polls

Who Audits the Auditor, and why it’s not news…

By Kim, on January 18th, 2013

Tweet Deloitte and Touche. Auditors of Attawapiskat. It turns out, for one of the 4 largest Auditing Firms on the planet, this firm has faced alot of critisism, charges and fines. After the 2006 election, they were forced to retract their audit of the Conservative Party of Canada. From the Ottawa Citizen

Lance Armstrong and Dean Del Mastro – tour de lies

By Jymn, on January 18th, 2013

Haven’t blogged much lately because frankly I’m sick to death of the absolute grip the Conservatives have over our country and its media. It’s barely worth blogging anymore because let’s face it, who cares? Canadians certainly don’t.

While the press has a field day with the obviously phony Lance Armstrong and his cowardly Oprah interview, the . . . → Read More: Lance Armstrong and Dean Del Mastro – tour de lies

Did Chrissie Blatchy Blatchford Just Liken Chief Theresa Spence to a Terrorist?

By ck, on December 27th, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, it sure looks that way.

It is tempting to see the action as one of intimidation, if not terrorism: She is, after all, holding the state hostage to vaguely articulated demands.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised though. I mean, her hatred of all folks and things Aboriginal is quite . . . → Read More: Did Chrissie Blatchy Blatchford Just Liken Chief Theresa Spence to a Terrorist?

Why is Stephen Harper so intent on making Chief Spence a martyr?

By Jymn, on December 27th, 2012

Tweet Stephen Harper, for all his shortcomings, is a shrewd strategist. He is known for his astute surveying of the political horizon and coming up with a precise show to please the public and fool the media. This immaculate playing of the publicity game has been the primary reason he has stayed in power . . . → Read More: Why is Stephen Harper so intent on making Chief Spence a martyr?

Margaret Wente’s plagiarism, er, ‘attribution’ problem. Part Deux.

By Jymn, on November 20th, 2012

“An earlier online version of this column contained unclear attribution. This version has been clarified.”

That’s the note appended to Margaret Wente’s latest Globe & Mail column. Does this pseudo journalist never learn? How is she still employed? Does she now warrant an editor exclusively devoted to her work? “Unclear attribution?” Are you kidding me? . . . → Read More: Margaret Wente’s plagiarism, er, ‘attribution’ problem. Part Deux.

Harper least trusted. Media at dismal 6% approval.

By Jymn, on November 12th, 2012

The good news.

The survey found only 16 per cent of Canadians place “a lot of trust” in their Prime Minister, putting Stephen Harper near the bottom among all leaders in the Americas.

“In an international context, Harper has a lower level of trust than almost every other national leader in the hemisphere,” . . . → Read More: Harper least trusted. Media at dismal 6% approval.

Wanker of the Day: Brett Mitchell of Selkirk Record

By Jymn, on November 5th, 2012

Or, how being good at one’s job in journalism is a firing offence. The Jill Winzoski story.

If you’re looking for a story to represent the true nature of our 90 percenter Conservative media, this one would be considered a masterpiece (emphasis mine).

It was almost as if James Bezan had become the young girl . . . → Read More: Wanker of the Day: Brett Mitchell of Selkirk Record

Telling. Fox News asks of NBC’s Sandy telethon: “How is NBC going to control what people say?”

By Jymn, on November 3rd, 2012

Fox News is aghast that NBC will be broadcasting a benefit concert for the victims of Sandy. Why would that be? Because NBC is the pawn of Obama and all the acts (Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Aguilera, Sting, Joel) are flaming liberals. That’s why. Plus…

”Where are the conservative performers?”

Number one, numbnuts: . . . → Read More: Telling. Fox News asks of NBC’s Sandy telethon: “How is NBC going to control what people say?”

The Final Countdown to Treason

By Kim, on October 30th, 2012

Tweet Tomorrow is the last day to stop the ratification of Harper’s secret treaty with China. Elizabeth May (bless her parliamentarian soul) has been active and vocal against this secret, closed door deal. Signed by Harper in Russia, of all places. Quietly tabled last month with no disclosure, no debate, none of that government . . . → Read More: The Final Countdown to Treason

Sue-Ann Levy destroys her career in Tweets

By Jymn, on October 23rd, 2012

I’m joking of course. Sue-Ann Levy is employed by Lorrie Goldstein and Sun Media. Nobody gets fired over at that outfit. Ezra Levant regularly has to apologize for his blatant racism and lies. But he still resides on the Sun News Network throne. Let’s face it – the right is a no-pink-slip zone.
