“Stars” Shine in Federal By-Elections; Not So Much In Kamouraska-Temiscouata

By ck, on November 30th, 2010

Well, I noticed that a good many in Vaughan seem to prefer glitter over substance in voting in Robocop Fantino, but only by the slimmest of margins. Will this mean an early winter election? Could be, if Steve wants to ensure that Fantino run again…as mentioned before, I don’t see Fantino enjoying the . . . → Read More: “Stars” Shine in Federal By-Elections; Not So Much In Kamouraska-Temiscouata

By ck, on November 29th, 2010

While Canadians are keeping an eye of the three federal by-election races happening today, particularly the hotly contested riding of Vaughan, there is a Quebec provincial by-election happening today as well–Kamouraska-Temiscouata. Like Vaughan, this by-election is also the test of leadership. The fate of premier Jean Charest and Parti-Quebecois leader, Pauline Marois will largely . . . → Read More: Kamouraska-Temiscouata–The Quebec Version of Vaughan & Why Canadians Should Pay Attention To This By-Election Race–(UPDATE)

La Marois Is Desperate: Is There Anything She Won’t Do To Be Premier?

By ck, on November 19th, 2010

I’m sure most have followed the circus that is Quebec politics these days. Premier Jean Charest is the cheese standing alone while everyone; right/left; federalist/separatist; Anglophone/Francophone are all calling for his head served on a silver platter these days. Everybody’s singing oops! Sorry, make that shrieking from the same song book; demanding a . . . → Read More: La Marois Is Desperate: Is There Anything She Won’t Do To Be Premier?

Can a Tax-Payer Funded Arena Buy Jean Charest & Stevie Spiteful Love?

By ck, on September 8th, 2010

I can’t say this is surprising. I knew that Jean Charest would jump at the chance to attempt to buy himself some love again from the Quebec voters. Yesterday, he committed 180 million dollars for this project in addition to what Quebec City mayor, Regis Lebeaume has already committed. In all, 400 million . . . → Read More: Can a Tax-Payer Funded Arena Buy Jean Charest & Stevie Spiteful Love?

Jean Charest Takes Back a Former Government House Leader and Iggy’s Aid, Making Him An Offer He Couldn’t Refuse & Jane Taber & the Harpercons are Already Pointing Their Daggers at Iggy

By ck, on August 11th, 2010

Yes, we all knew this day was coming; Jean Charest would shuffle the cabinet. With his Quebec Liberals polling at all time lows given the last budget was chock full of user fees and the party is still mired in scandals, Charest is doing what many are calling “shuffling the lawn chairs on . . . → Read More: Jean Charest Takes Back a Former Government House Leader and Iggy’s Aid, Making Him An Offer He Couldn’t Refuse & Jane Taber & the Harpercons are Already Pointing Their Daggers at Iggy

Premier Charest, You’d Better Appeal! Let’s Have Something Go Right In This Mandate

By ck, on June 22nd, 2010

Up until a few years ago, when the schools switched from religious school boards to the secular linguistic school boards, parents had a choice of three classes they could enroll their kids into: the Protestant Religion, the Catholic Religion or a class simply called Moral instruction; the latter was more secular and appealed . . . → Read More: Premier Charest, You’d Better Appeal!

Is Pauline Marois Lying or is She Being Shoved Out The Door By Gilles Duceppe?

By ck, on June 13th, 2010

Gilles Duceppe has been throwing a monkey wrench into the overpriced G8/G20 festivities by sending letters to world leaders promoting Quebec sovereignty.

“As I am sure you are aware, Quebec is a nation in its own right,” Duceppe wrote in the English version of the letter, dated June 9, 2010. “There is a . . . → Read More: Is Pauline Marois Lying or is She Being Shoved Out The Door By Gilles Duceppe?

A Fall Election? A Provincial One in Quebec, That Is

By ck, on May 17th, 2010

If Pauline Marois has her way we could well be going to the polls come as soon as this Fall, or maybe even late this summer.

Yes, Jean Charest has a majority and has until 2013 to call an election. However, after ousting Tony Tomassi and the potential for more to go either . . . → Read More: A Fall Election? A Provincial One in Quebec, That Is

Before I lambaste Ms Kheirriddin with the shabby treatment I usually deliver to these yellow journalists and columnists she so richly deserves, I would like to open with some good news. Victory! According to CJAD news this fine evening, Premier Jean Charest, along with finance minister, Raymond Bachand and health minister Yves . . . → Read More: But…But Tasha!

What I Have Said all Along…

By ck, on April 15th, 2010

I have been saying that folks really don’t care about a transparent and accountable government. At least, not the Harpercons anyway… Brother Steve is the hero of the day and he can be as secretive as he likes I guess… Here’s this rather astute comment from Wilson over at BC Blue:

It Doesn’t Have Cocaine or Busty Hookers, But it Does Come With the Mafia, Apparently–(Update)

By ck, on April 13th, 2010

Yessirree Bob! Another scandal happening in Quebec, involving the Charest Liberals, Municipal governments, construction industry and of course, the Italian Mob supposedly partnered with said construction companies. Jean Charest’s numbers started dropping over the fall when it was alleged that the Quebec Liberals were involved in scandals involving the issuing of construction contracts . . . → Read More: It Doesn’t Have Cocaine or Busty Hookers, But it Does Come With the Mafia, Apparently–(Update)

The Americanization of Canadian Health Care: First, Quebec, Then, Rest of Canada

By ck, on April 1st, 2010

Yes, everyone is all abuzz about this health care so-called user fee. As I mentioned previously, if the fee was a fixed price going up to 200$ per year and it ended there, I would be ok with that given 200$ at the end of the year is still not the American Private . . . → Read More: The Americanization of Canadian Health Care: First, Quebec, Then, Rest of Canada

Why an Election Must Happen Sooner, Rather Than Later

By ck, on March 6th, 2010

After hearing about that miserable budget and the latest developments on investigation torturegate, and of course, the ongoing blunders of Jason Kenney and other of St-Stevie’s Harpercon flunkies. I have rethought my position since I posted To Call or Not To Call an Election This Spring. The more I read and hear about . . . → Read More: Why an Election Must Happen Sooner, Rather Than Later

Quebec Sovereignty Movement Making a Comeback?

By ck, on February 7th, 2010

I first caught hint of this in, oddly enough, the Edmonton Journal, a paper from a highly conservative province that has not only never made any secret about wanting Quebec out of Canada, but a lot of the most conservative Albertans would love to separate from Canada themselves as they seem to think . . . → Read More: Quebec Sovereignty Movement Making a Comeback?
