Bully, Cheat, Hijack, Own the Media, Run Away and When That Don’t Work: Add More Seats–In Con Ridings, No Doubt!

Oh that load of misdeeds from Steve.

Now, Blogging Romper Roomie Frmgrl is now peeing  in her panties from being ga ga giddy, and Norman Spector is as happy as a con who ran over a dog or cat in the poor neighbourhood no doubt over the latest news.

Atta Boy Gilles! Now, Watch the Harpercons’ Knickers Bunch Up!

It would seem that since yesterday,  Gilles Duceppe referring to those involved with the  Quebec Sovereignty movement as ‘Resistants’, thus supposedly comparing themselves to the French Freedom Fighters in WWII, is splashed all over the news;  it seems to be coming a close second after health care reform passed last night.

Why an Election Must Happen Sooner, Rather Than Later

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

The Game Has Changed…Canada is Ready For a Coalition

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

Quebec Sovereignty Movement Making a Comeback?

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?

Indeed it was! In spite of the early hour and the cold, we did have a decent turn out somewhere between 700 -1000 folks (a few hundred joined in later at end venue), according to what I was told.  There were merchants and passersby offering support. The police didn’t even get out of . . . → Read More: Montreal Event a Success!

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.

A Letter I wrote To My Riding MP

ATT: Irwin Cotler Member of Parliament for Mont-Royal Liberal Party of Canada

Hello,
