Quebec May Open Safe Injection Sites A L’Insite And Compassion Club

By ck, on October 5th, 2011

It would be about time and why shouldn’t we? We are, after all, a province of progress or supposed to be. After all, we opened the first Compassion club, a place, highly supervised, where sick people with the prescription from a medical professional can obtain medicinal marijuana, albeit, on the fringes of the . . . → Read More: Quebec May Open Safe Injection Sites A L’Insite And Compassion Club

Outasite! Supreme Court bludgeons Con ideology with reality.

By Jymn, on September 30th, 2011

One of the few benefits of not having any political power is that you get to sit back and watch the majority power fall all over its own ideology and arrogance.

Less than 40% of Canada voted for these guys. That’s not a mandate for anything other than doing . . . → Read More: Outasite! Supreme Court bludgeons Con ideology with reality.

War on drugs ravages world’s patients living with pain

By Jymn, on September 20th, 2011

When I think of the war on drugs, I think of conservatives in western countries and their prohibition against marijuana. Of course, it’s a much bigger issue than that. It’s a war in which pleasure is something to deny and fear. But this war goes beyond mere denial of pleasure. It denies . . . → Read More: War on drugs ravages world’s patients living with pain

Two Classes of Crime and Justice Which Stevie Harper Will Be Sure to Emphasize

Stephen Harper’s at the wheel. Tasha Kheirridin rides shotgun. Fear’s in the backseat.

By Jymn, on September 8th, 2011

Tasha Kheirridin is a frightened woman. She is terrified of walking outside her door. Perhaps that’s why she wants a man around to protect her from the inconveniences of life, the petty criminals and especially the big bad Muslim men with the big black beards (emphasis mine).

Personally, I’d like to . . . → Read More: Stephen Harper’s at the wheel. Tasha Kheirridin rides shotgun. Fear’s in the backseat.

Harper Sounds Islamophobic Dog Whistle, Again, Just In Time to Commemorate 9/11

By ck, on September 7th, 2011

In another move back in time, Stevie Spiteful plans to reintroduce two anti-terror clauses that were originally introduced in 2001, but expired in 2007. Here they are!

One allowed police to arrest suspects without a warrant and detain them for three days without charges if police believed a terrorist act may have . . . → Read More: Harper Sounds Islamophobic Dog Whistle, Again, Just In Time to Commemorate 9/11

the corporate nature of municipal governments…

By Kim, on August 28th, 2011

from Priscilla…

Unlike the Federal and Provincial Governments – a Municipal Government is a Corporation and that may explain why some local Councils appear to have no conscience. Living breathing people have entirely different needs than a Corporation so perhaps it’s not so strange that the voting public can be amazed and . . . → Read More: the corporate nature of municipal governments…

Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

By ck, on July 31st, 2011

Not to mention, no doubt, things to drive American Homeland Security Batty and drive the McCarthyist Tea-bagger paranoid types off to the fainting couches. Norway’s response to the recent terror attacks, quite different from Dubya Bush’s “We’ll smoke ‘em out!” vengeance speeches following 9/11 or those crazy security measures like airport body scanners . . . → Read More: Things North American Corporate Media Would be Sure To Suppress But Would Be Crazy Enough To Work

Royal Pains, Brainwashing of Canada, Big Shiny Distractions Supercede Democracy–Rant Alert

By ck, on July 4th, 2011

Before I continue, full disclosure: like many Quebecers, I am anti-monarchy and think it’s antiquated and a waste of tax dollars. Furthermore, like Gilles Duceppe said awhile ago, they never work and they live off the backs of the tax-payers. I have to ask, particular today’s neo-cons, who love to villify the poor, . . . → Read More: Royal Pains, Brainwashing of Canada, Big Shiny Distractions Supercede Democracy–Rant Alert

Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

By ck, on June 30th, 2011

Finally, I post my thoughts about the NDP filibuster of Stevie Spiteful’s draconian Back to work legislation of locked out Canada Post workers and the press coverage it has received, along with many Canadians’ attitude toward it. I’m not only concerned at Canadians’ attitudes toward Bill c-6, but also all the misinformation that . . . → Read More: Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

NDP’s Joe Comartin Falling For Typical Harpercon Strawman Politics: Hook, Line and Sinker

By ck, on June 13th, 2011

And if what Mr. Joe Comartin says about you is true, Mr. Irwin Cotler, you’re really no better. However, Mr. Comartin, did you have to ask him to accelerate it without debate or further examination? Do you really know what you’re doing? Apparently, even with a Harpercon majority, this is one of those . . . → Read More: NDP’s Joe Comartin Falling For Typical Harpercon Strawman Politics: Hook, Line and Sinker

Does It Really Take Four Cops And Three Gunshots To Subdue a Homeless Man?

By ck, on June 8th, 2011

I really should’ve titled this post, Four cops turn busy Downtown intersection into the OK Corral. They deserve nothing less. However, I may just get myself arrested or sued for that these days the way things are going. You just never know.

OH Harperland! The Beginnings of The Police State, Where Women Are Second Class Citizens

By ck, on June 5th, 2011

Yes, that horrid omnibus bill that it is to come out in about a hundre days ; that lawn order ‘n’ morality themed omnibus bill.

If Only Helena Guergis Were Actually Guilty of Something

By ck, on May 30th, 2011

Maybe she’d not only have been able to stay in Harpercon caucus and even won her seat back in Simcoe-Grety.

That does seem to be a pattern in the world according to Harpercon, don’t it? Jason Kenney just rehired his corrupt staffer, with a promotion to boot!

At Least We Can Thank Gawd RK Ball Ain’t In the Running For Justice Minister or Public Security

By ck, on May 16th, 2011

I knew that Harpercon majority would really bring out the wingnutty crunchy goodness, as CC would say, in those blogging SupposiTories. Yep, it’s more amplified. RK Ball, Stephen Taylor’s resident theocrat and evolution denier, RK Ball has a whopper of a goody for us today.
