What Will You Do Now, Johnny?

By ck, on May 22nd, 2012

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, what ever will Premier Johnny do now? It seems he may be in check and mate. That dreadful and vague Bill 78, passed last Friday (I put in highlights here); that was supposed to bring ‘social peace to the streets of La Belle Province has done anything but. . . . → Read More: What Will You Do Now, Johnny?

Oh Premier Johnny! You Have Been Learning From Stevie Spiteful & Vic ‘Lock ‘em Up’ Toews, Haven’t You? Plus, Mask-uh-raid Fun

By ck, on May 18th, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, Johnny’s foe once upon a time is now his mentor. He has learned well about stupid politician tricks. Bill 78 is right out of the Stevie Harper rule book. 1) Rile up populist anger by purposely pretending to want to negotiate, offer something really stupid and then throw his hands . . . → Read More: Oh Premier Johnny! You Have Been Learning From Stevie Spiteful & Vic ‘Lock ‘em Up’ Toews, Haven’t You? Plus, Mask-uh-raid Fun

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

By ck, on February 15th, 2012

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

Trying To Understand Politics In Quebec These Days–Part 1–Is Sovereignty Really Dead? The Potential Resurrection of Gilles Duceppe

By ck, on November 30th, 2011

I had heard nothing from the federalist media, particularly from those from the right who say nothing but sovereignty is dead in la belle province. The evidence they have? Well, some polls, which I do take with a grain of salt–the usual suspects–Leger Marketing. Sadly, that is all most Quebecers have to work . . . → Read More: Trying To Understand Politics In Quebec These Days–Part 1–Is Sovereignty Really Dead? The Potential Resurrection of Gilles Duceppe

Some Misgivings on the Part of Some Harpercon Backbenchers on the Asbestos Issue?

By ck, on November 21st, 2011

I was surprised when I read this piece from Jennifer Ditchburn and Andy Blatchford last night. It appears that some Harpercon backbench MPs are getting a tad uppity and starting to look for their own information regarding the dangers of asbestos on their own. Five abstained from voting on an NDP motion to . . . → Read More: Some Misgivings on the Part of Some Harpercon Backbenchers on the Asbestos Issue?

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, it looks like this is the moment many have been waiting for; the moment where Francois Legault’s fictitious party becomes a reality. He is to announce this tomorrow.

Upcoming By-Election In Bonaventure is Something Quebec Voters Should Be Watching And Why I am Rooting for The Liberal Candidate

By ck, on November 10th, 2011

The by-election in the Gaspesie riding of Bonaventure will be held on December 5–less than a month from now. It’s a by-election, much like last year’s by-election in Kamouraska-Temiscouata, will be one to watch. The task at hand is to elect a successor to former natural resources minister and deputy premier, Nathalie Normandeau, . . . → Read More: Upcoming By-Election In Bonaventure is Something Quebec Voters Should Be Watching And Why I am Rooting for The Liberal Candidate

Quebecor Paranoia Grows-Demands CBC-Radio Canada To Remove Certain Offending Portions From Web Site

By ck, on October 21st, 2011

Not long ago, Jymn covered the CBC, coming armed with certain facts about Quebecor. A few things Quebecor won’t tell us. Let’s refresh our memories, here.

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.

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

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

Stevie Spiteful’s Asbestos Hypocrisy, Johnny-Boy Charest, Would Be Modern Day Shylock, Their Enablers And Canadacausescancer.ca

By ck, on June 16th, 2011

Stevie Spiteful, as you all know by now, boys ‘n’ girls, still refuses to add asbestos to the list of hazardous materials at the Rotterdam Convention. To be specific, as Pogge pointed out earlier, according to the article from Mia Rabson,

Substances on the list are not banned but countries exporting them must . . . → Read More: Stevie Spiteful’s Asbestos Hypocrisy, Johnny-Boy Charest, Would Be Modern Day Shylock, Their Enablers And Canadacausescancer.ca

Johnny Boy Charest, Are You Insane??

By ck, on June 14th, 2011

I’m really convinced our premier has lost it. I’m seriously wondering if he’s on drugs. Sometimes I wonder if we have a need to do things so differently just for the hell of it. It really looks like Johnny Boy is prepared to take the feds to court over senate reform. He doesn’t . . . → Read More: Johnny Boy Charest, Are You Insane??

Trouble In Pequiste Paradise–This Time Over That White Elephant For a Non-Existent NHL Franchise

By ck, on June 7th, 2011

I always knew this would happen eventually. Perhaps not over that ridiculous proposed hockey amphitheatre of Regis Labeaume’s in Quebec City for the non-existent resurrection of the Quebec Nordiques, but I knew that despite Pauline Marois’s whopping 93% approval vote at her leadership review last April, that the knives would still be continuing . . . → Read More: Trouble In Pequiste Paradise–This Time Over That White Elephant For a Non-Existent NHL Franchise

Thanks For Stopping By, Petey! In Fact, Thanks For Nothing! Rant Alert

By ck, on May 26th, 2011

I’m so not impressed with any of ‘em these days! Not the Harpercons, the NDP opposition, not the Charest Liberals or the Parti Quebecois and of course, the ignoramouses who decide to grace the comment boards of the CBC and the like these days. What the hell is wrong with all of you????

By ck, on March 30th, 2011

I’m back to deliver my thoughts on the rest of the province. You can refer to part 1, Montreal riding watch here.

Pork Served Up In Deep Oil

By ck, on March 24th, 2011

After a long time, Harpercon flunkie Christian Paradis and his provincial counterpart here, Nathalie Normandeau, have reached an agreement on The Old Harry oil and gas field which straddles the Newfoundland/Laborador and Quebec borders out on the Gulf of St-Lawrence. Wow! Talk about timing! I mean, the Quebec government has been trying . . . → Read More: Pork Served Up In Deep Oil

CK’s Predictions For 2011 – Good, Bad and The Ugly

By ck, on December 31st, 2010

Some will be predictable. Some, many will chide me for being pessimistic; I call it realism, but anyway… These are my predictions. If any of my co-bloggers and contributors have any predictions, they’re strongly encouraged to do their own posts about them. It would be interesting indeed.

By ck, on December 7th, 2010

Anyone catch Eric Duhaime’s last excuse of an article yesterday? Oh Eric, it’s so hard trying to force an agenda most don’t want, isn’t it?
