Canada 150 Thinkers’ Conference in Montreal–A Success; But Beware of Harpercon Sore Loser Cheerleaders

By ck, on March 28th, 2010

I will be blogging more in detail on a few of the themes I’m most particularly concerned with (“How do we Care?”) a little later on this evening or even tomorrow. We just had to be busy this week-end with other commitments and errands.

I think even Iggy’s speech was very good and . . . → Read More: Canada 150 Thinkers’ Conference in Montreal–A Success; But Beware of Harpercon Sore Loser Cheerleaders

I’m Seeing Deja-Vu

By ck, on March 25th, 2010

Over at Scott Diatribe’s, his observations of the corporate media are that basically, the Liberals’ 150 Thinker’s Conference is going to “bomb”; to be a miserable failure. Here we go again. This sound familiar to anyone? It should. Not that long ago, the Corporate media was telling folks how to feel about prorogation . . . → Read More: I’m Seeing Deja-Vu

Voters’ Priorities Go To Pot …And Why do Some Progressives Fear Iggy More than Stevie?

By ck, on March 16th, 2010

Here we go yet again. Once again, Iggy may not be our first choice, but he’s all we’ve got at this time. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t, yeesh! This time, it’s about that whole marijuana; to legalize or not to legalize? That is the question of the day it . . . → Read More: Voters’ Priorities Go To Pot …And Why do Some Progressives Fear Iggy More than Stevie?

It Must Really Suck to be You: Especially When Pesky Ol’ Reality and Truth Get in the Way

By ck, on March 8th, 2010

Yes, Romper Roomies (Blogging Tories), I do mean you! Good Gawd, just how desperate are ya to not only keep the megalomaniac St-Stevie and his evangelical Harpercons in power, but to actually get him his majority? How low are y’all willing to sink to achieve this end. I mean you all laughed at our . . . → Read More: It Must Really Suck to be You: Especially When Pesky Ol’ Reality and Truth Get in the Way

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

New Budget–No Poison Pills–For Now

By ck, on March 4th, 2010

Ricky P is on CJAD live discussing the budget just handed down. CJAD morning show’s Andrew Carter will be talking to Jimbo Flaherty, hisself!

Like the the Throne speech last night, this budget has no surprises. Not even a poison pill…this time around.

I was kind of expecting Flaherty to bring back that . . . → Read More: New Budget–No Poison Pills–For Now

To Call or Not To Call an Election This Spring

By ck, on March 1st, 2010

That is what many of us are asking ourselves as well as speculating about, among, of course, other things. Frank Graves of EKOS polls tells the Hill Times that the Liberals would be ‘crazy’ not to call an election now

Grits’ best chance to ‘get rid of this guy. He’s very resilient, the economy . . . → Read More: To Call or Not To Call an Election This Spring

Jane Taber and her Insipid Articles of Late

By ck, on February 26th, 2010

I think Taber must be bored since Question Period took time off and even then, I have noticed Taber can get petty in her writing. I caught this over at BC er in Toronto. Her latest fluff is some very strange obsession with bugging Iggy about which olympic hockey team he’d root for. . . . → Read More: Jane Taber and her Insipid Articles of Late

Here We Go Again! Stevie Doing What He Does Best: Play Divide and Conquer

By ck, on February 18th, 2010

Oh hell, here we go again. In my earlier post, I had mentioned that Duceppe was elsewhere giving speeches and Iggy said he wasn’t invited to a pre budget release meeting and that only Jack Layton would be in attendance. Remember, he was the one who did not vote with the January 2009 . . . → Read More: Here We Go Again! Stevie Doing What He Does Best: Play Divide and Conquer

Not Only C.R.U.S.H. Stevie’s Numbers, but Also Push for the Coalition: This Time With Feeling

By ck, on February 16th, 2010

I read Thwap’s (Thwap’s Schoolyard) post today regarding his distaste for Iggy and the Liberals. He leaves the impression that the Stevie and Iggy aren’t that much different as he refers to Iggy as ‘Harper-lite’, particularly if he becomes prime-minister as well as predicting that a minority would be the best they can . . . → Read More: Not Only C.R.U.S.H.

The Game Has Changed…Canada is Ready For a Coalition

By ck, on February 8th, 2010

I have always thought that an outright merger between the Liberals and The N.D.P. with perhaps the Greens (although, if one looks carefully, they’re not really left of center) would be what’s best.

I certainly understand Dylan’s concerns (Right of Center Ice) about a coalition government being a bad idea based largely in . . . → Read More: The Game Has Changed…Canada is Ready For a Coalition

Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK! Get your Meds Adjusted! Abortion is Covered Here; Why Shouldn’t It Be Covered Elsewhere?

By ck, on February 2nd, 2010

I was goofing off on Twitter after dinner to check news updates and other tweets from followers, those I follow, and yes, sometimes the ultra neo-con tweets for entertainment. This evening’s session on Twitter led me once again to Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK’s ( Big Blue Wave if you must know). In all honesty, even . . . → Read More: Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK! Get your Meds Adjusted!

Well, It’s a Start! See What Can Be Done When We Make the Effort?

By ck, on January 5th, 2010

Well, it appears that social media is really giving a run for the money against the corporatist media.

It’s about time! For openers, the Facebook group, Canadians against the Proroguing of Parliament , is now nearing 50, 000 members and growing. There are other such Facebook groups, whose memberships are also growing.
