By ck, on September 20th, 2011

Yes, boys ‘n’ girls, put this one under the file of if this weren’t so sad and dire for Canadians, it might actually be rip roaringly hilarious.

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

Toronto Star’s Token Con Cheerleader Angelo Perischilli to Become New Harper Mouthpiece

By ck, on August 31st, 2011

Yes, boys ‘n’ girls, Angelo Perischilli is replacing Dimitri Soudas as Stevie Spiteful’s mouthpiece. I guess all that Harpercon sucking up and Liberal derangement syndrome has paid off. No, he doesn’t parle en Francais, which leads me to believe that Steve really doesn’t care much for French speaking Canadians, particularly Quebecers. I mean, if . . . → Read More: Toronto Star’s Token Con Cheerleader Angelo Perischilli to Become New Harper Mouthpiece

Looks Like Dr. Kellie Leitch of Simcoe-Grey Made Her Choice a Long Time Ago

By ck, on August 19th, 2011

It appears that hundreds of health professionals are now putting Harpercon MP for Simcoe-Grey, Kellie Leitch on the hot seat in an open letter, basically reminding her of that pesky little hippocratic oath she took when she decided to practise medicine in her previous life, and denounce her own government’s stance on asbestos.

But I Thought The CBC Had a Two Year Cooling Off Period With Ex-Politicians-Juxtapose!

By ck, on August 19th, 2011

I know I’m going to need to be heavily sedated after writing the first sentence, but I find myself in agreement with the Blogging SupposiTory resident McCarthyist, BC Blue today. I am asking the same question he is today:

Why is CBC allowing Stockwell Day to break their 2 year cooling off policy?

However, . . . → Read More: But I Thought The CBC Had a Two Year Cooling Off Period With Ex-Politicians-Juxtapose!

In Solidarity With Michaela Keyserlingk And Jean Charest Also Has Dirty Hands

By ck, on August 18th, 2011

Ok, for lack of anything original, I’m going to do a variation of what DeBeauxOs did earlier over at Dammit Janet. Boys ‘n’ girls, how do you spell ReformaTory? C-A-N-C-E-R. I do mean cancer in oh so many ways as anything they touch is poison. But today, of course, we’re talking about their . . . → Read More: In Solidarity With Michaela Keyserlingk And Jean Charest Also Has Dirty Hands

Stevie Harper’s Conservatives Show Just How Spiteful They Are As They Go After a Widow Of an Asbestos Victim

By ck, on August 14th, 2011

Yep, no holds barred with this gang of miscreants. That asbestos lobby is just so damned important to them that they won’t let a widow of a man who died of asbestos related mesothelioma get in the way of their agenda. They’re going after her for the use of their contempt party logo.

I’m Sure Mme Turmel Expects Nothing Less

By ck, on August 1st, 2011

Well, what do we have here? Some Harpercons along with Timmy Powers, warning that Nycole Turmel will be “no 1 target” of her political opponents.

“She will find herself under scrutiny, and already has, for her past support of the Bloc Québécois. The NDP is vulnerable on issues of separatist accommodation and she . . . → Read More: I’m Sure Mme Turmel Expects Nothing Less

Excuses! Excuses!

By ck, on July 6th, 2011

Apparently, voter apathy was not restricted to the young at the 41st election. Below are the numbers broken down of the wall of shame known as the non-voters:

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

How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers

By ck, on June 27th, 2011

Assuming Stevie Spiteful stays in power, that is, and after watching both the NDP and the Liberals, this week-end, along with Stevie Spiteful’s spin machine in his media, it looks like it could well be for a very, very long time to come. Only a very sleep deprived Lizzy May seemed to have . . . → Read More: How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers

At Least Ruth-Ellen Brosseau Knows the Difference Between a Lockout and a Strike

By ck, on June 24th, 2011

I’ve been following the marathon debates on forcing the locked out Canada Post workers back to work on the CBC page live feed since last night and observing the debates on Twitter. The rookie NDP MPs have been actively participating and have, in my opinion, all been quite articulate. Sure some of them . . . → Read More: At Least Ruth-Ellen Brosseau Knows the Difference Between a Lockout and a Strike

Oh Laur-rie Hawwnn! Me Thinks You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!!

By ck, on June 7th, 2011

Yes, nice to know that the military industrial complex is still very much a concern on the feeble minds of certain yahoo Harpercons. According to a cable released by Wikileaks to APTN, it would appear that the now demoted esteemed redneck of Edmonton-Center, Laurie Hawn is a tad disappointed these days. He was . . . → Read More: Oh Laur-rie Hawwnn! Me Thinks You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!!

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. Now, no one is exactly sure what it may entail except for the fact that it will likely include the scrapping of the gun registry and of course, . . . → Read More: OH Harperland!

Awww! Jason Kenney! My Heart Is Breaking! Somebody Get Him a Fainting Couch!

By ck, on June 2nd, 2011

Poor Jason Kenney! By extension, poor, poor Harpercons! My heart bleeds for you! Now we understand why Stevie Spiteful wants to have elected senators. It appears to be all about his dear precious Alberta, a province that sends six senators to the red chamber to represent them. Jason Kenney’s digestive tract is twisted . . . → Read More: Awww!

Trouble in Harpercon Paradise? Say it Ain’t So!

By ck, on May 19th, 2011

Oh, this is just too precious! Stevie Spiteful already losing his micro-management touch?

A battle is shaping up inside Tory ranks ahead of the party’s national convention next month, once again pitting members of the old Canadian Alliance party against former Progressive Conservatives in Quebec and Atlantic Canada, the Canadian Press has . . . → Read More: Trouble in Harpercon Paradise?

Francis Scarpaleggia, You Just Got Your Answer-Several Weeks Later

By ck, on May 18th, 2011

Well, Stevie Spiteful has indeed had quite the busy day today. After appointing his new puppets, he’s managed to squeeze in time for stacking his senate yet again.

I Stand Corrected, Why So Shocked Bevie Odeous Keeps Her Old Job? And Other Musical Cabinet Chair Games

By ck, on May 18th, 2011

Well, the mystery has now been revealed. Stevie Spiteful’s new 38 seat cabinet, same as his last cabinet while still in minority–a number he once slammed Paul Martin for as too big. But, as we know, in Harperland, what’s good for the goose ain’t necessarily good for the gander.

Harpercon Booster Jane Taber and the Rest of the Reformatories All Hurt By Iggy

Ok, Jane, you got what you wanted, your dreamy Steve got his precious kingdom and Iggy is gone. What the hell is your problem now? Are you perhaps auditioning for Sun News (oops! Bell dropped ‘em)?

End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority

By ck, on May 1st, 2011

We have no arrived at the end of the road of election 41 campaign. We have been polled, tweeted, newsed, etc. Before I go on, I would like to review all the party’s campaigns briefly.

Maybe there is something to be said for peek-a-boo campaigns? Jane Taber was certainly very complimentary of . . . → Read More: End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority
