Come Join the Dark Side! We Got Poutine, Pepsi and Jos Louis! (Mise a Jour) — Part D’Uh??

By ck, on March 23rd, 2014

Tweet

Well, no, not really part d’uh. I’m just resurrecting this snarky, satirical and sarcastic post I did 4 years ago with the help of a Montreal friend, Karl, with an update or 2.  I thought it would be fitting to resurrect during this fine election campaign. Because every election campaign is in dire . . . → Read More: Come Join the Dark Side! We Got Poutine, Pepsi and Jos Louis! (Mise a Jour) — Part D’Uh??

Much Talk Over Latest Leger Poll on Quebec Election. Too Bad It’s More Than Likely About Nothing

By ck, on March 15th, 2014

Tweet

A recent poll had come out putting Dr. Phil’s Liberals and Pauline Marois’s PQ virtually neck and neck with the CAQ support slipping.  Many of the columnists and pundits have claimed, for the most part, that this poll is the result of Marois and Peladeau jr sovereignty referendum talk.  There are some that . . . → Read More: Much Talk Over Latest Leger Poll on Quebec Election.

Pierre Karl Peladeau’s So-Called Economic Credibility and PQ Becomes a Pro-Corporate Party Like Everyone Else

By ck, on March 15th, 2014

Tweet

After reading through a week’s worth of news articles, columnists and the twitter machine, there appears to be one common theme; Peladeau Jr. was recruited to provide economic credibility to the Parti-Quebecois to mainly the business community.  Furthermore, according to a PQ campaign ad, Pauline Marois is featured alone walking a hallway  (which . . . → Read More: Pierre Karl Peladeau’s So-Called Economic Credibility and PQ Becomes a Pro-Corporate Party Like Everyone Else

By ck, on March 9th, 2014

Tweet

Boys n girls, where do I start?  Ok, it’s official, Peladeau Jr is now running in the riding of St-Jerome in the upcoming Quebec election.  I don’t know whether to laugh or to be pissed?

For openers, the humour.  As many recall, Peladeau Jr  and Sun Media launched Sun TV News Network shortly . . . → Read More: Pierre Karl Peladeau Running For PQ? Rene-Levesque Must Be Rolling In His Grave -UPDATE

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

By ck, on October 21st, 2011

Tweet

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.

Quebecor has received more than half a billion dollars in direct and indirect subsidies and benefits from Canadian taxpayers over the past three years, yet it is not . . . → Read More: Quebecor Paranoia Grows-Demands CBC-Radio Canada To Remove Certain Offending Portions From Web Site

Poor Pierre Karl Peladeau. Playing the victim again. Paranoid, too.

By Jymn, on October 20th, 2011

Tweet

Most likely spurred by the facts presented by the CBC about Quebecor’s welfare habit, the media chain’s chief came out firing today against the ‘state broadcaster’. Problem is, Peladeau came off wimpy and whiny, somehow befitting a news chain known for its self victimization and pouting. Not only that, there was a whiff of paranoia . . . → Read More: Poor Pierre Karl Peladeau. Playing the victim again. Paranoid, too.

Good to see CBC fighting back against Quebecor’s petty attacks

By Jymn, on October 19th, 2011

You want to piss off a Conservative, come armed with facts (emphasis mine).

What Quebecor won’t tell you about its attacks on the public broadcaster

For more than three years, Quebecor has been using its newspapers, and more recently, its SunNews Network TV license to pursue a campaign against CBC/Radio-Canada. But there are some . . . → Read More: Good to see CBC fighting back against Quebecor’s petty attacks

And Now, Introducing the Witness for The Harpercon Prosecution, Fox News North!

By ck, on September 27th, 2011

Boys ‘n’ girls, the Harpercons want to hold a parliamentary hearing regarding the future of the CBC, basically. And  guess who their star witnesses will be? Yup! You guessed it! Pierre-Karl Peladeau, Ezzy Levant, and of course, king McCarthyist of the CBC watch, Brian Lilley-white.  Oh yeah!

When A King of Porn Slams Rupert Murdoch…

By ck, on July 17th, 2011

Tweet

This is amusing. I already thought it was kind of rip roaringly hilarious when a crook like ol’ Connie Blah blah Black slammed Rupert Murdoch. However, when Larry Flynt of Hustler Magazine and other sleaze, the king of scuzz, hisself,  slams ol’  Rupert  for his sleazy and unethical behavior and that of his . . . → Read More: When A King of Porn Slams Rupert Murdoch…

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

By ck, on June 7th, 2011

Tweet

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

Or you could insert any other Tea-baggin’ connie name and that would do just fine.

Well, here’s another tea-baggy con who can’t seem to hold down a job. It appears that KKKory has resigned from Quebecor and Fox News North.

Kory Teneycke, a former spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has resigned from an effort to bring a right-leaning TV network to Canada, saying his partisan past is . . . → Read More: KKKory Pulling a Sa-wah Palin! Bye-Bye, Now!

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

By ck, on September 8th, 2010

Tweet

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?

By ck, on September 5th, 2010

Pierre-Karl Peladeau and Gilles Duceppe, as well as the mayor of Quebec City, Regis Lebeaume, all have one common goal; to bring an NHL franchise back to Quebec City. In order to accomplish this, NHL commissioner, Gary Bettman has made clear to Lebeaume that a new arena is essential before he can even . . . → Read More: Peladeau’s Fox News North, Duceppe’s New Reason For Sovereignty: All About the Politics of Hockey–Some Questions
