Puzzling: The Bloc Quebecois and the NDP Questions

By ck, on December 30th, 2010

Everyone talkin’ spring election. Most had predicted it long before Iggy even said that he would more than likely not vote for it unless that F35 purchase and corporate tax cuts were removed. The Liberals had also said they would like to see something in there for Family home care. Things not likely to happen . . . → Read More: Puzzling: The Bloc Quebecois and the NDP Questions

Blogging SupposiTory Jojo Blue Like You Would Like Us All To Know She Doesn’t Want Rights

By ck, on December 11th, 2010

Yes, and she’s probably staring in the mirror at her tear stained blouse about now and thinking that the Winnipeg Free Press‘s Robert Marshall & Julian Fantino are her heroes and Justin Trudeau and his Dad are such terrible ogres. Before I go on, let’s take a look at an excerpt, shall, we?

If Fantino Wins, Then What? How Long Will The Honeymoon Last?

By ck, on November 28th, 2010

All I had been noticing from the pundits, columnists and bloggers was if Fantino would win Vaughan by-election tomorrow, it would be a disaster for the Liberals. That this could ruin Iggy’s leadership. Hell, Jim Travers paints a picture of a Harpercon momentum on a roll taking advantage of the beleaguered Liberal party . . . → Read More: If Fantino Wins, Then What?

I Think We All Knew This Was Coming

By ck, on November 9th, 2010

It was just a matter of time before Liberal MP for Esquimalt Juan deFuca, Keith Martin would either resign on his own or get kicked out of Liberal caucus after shooting off his claptrap regarding private for profit health care, particularly after Ujjal Dosanjh publicly threw him under the bus. It was suspect . . . → Read More: I Think We All Knew This Was Coming

Gun Registry Passed; Stevie Spiteful Sets Trap Out of Spite; Opposition Don’t Step In It! Time to Move On

By ck, on September 23rd, 2010

Everywhere I’m reading from blogs, pundits; mainly the Harpercon cheerleaders; all saying that Stevie will get his majority due to this loss; he will campaign pretty much solely on scrapping the registry. They actually think he will be successful! That’s fine. I wouldn’t expect anything less. Pathetic, really. One trick pony for the . . . → Read More: Gun Registry Passed; Stevie Spiteful Sets Trap Out of Spite; Opposition Don’t Step In It! Time to Move On

Stephen Taylor, Put Up or Shut Up!

By ck, on September 21st, 2010

A typical Harpercon cheerleader’s modus operendi; psyche everyone out when things don’t look to be going their way. I had read on some of the blogs about Stephen Taylor tweeting that some Liberal MPs will be staying away from the vote tomorrow evening. I went to Twitter to check the feed out, to . . . → Read More: Stephen Taylor, Put Up or Shut Up!

By ck, on September 21st, 2010

Dear readers, let’s forget for a moment where we stand on the long gun registry and gun control for a moment–it’s not what this post is about. It’s solely about leadership and politics that have led to this point. Really, for the sake of this post, we could insert a vote on any . . . → Read More: Jack Got Lucky, Or Did He?

It Looks Like Iggy Is Taking Kelly McParland’s Advice

By ck, on August 28th, 2010

Susan Delacourt is one of the few columnists who has been not only printing the facts about Iggy’s bus tour, but has actually remained positive about it. I only wish some of the more Liberal leaning columnist would have (and would) followed her lead rather than to continue nitpicking and lamenting him. After . . . → Read More: It Looks Like Iggy Is Taking Kelly McParland’s Advice

By ck, on August 26th, 2010

David Eaves first released this news about an hour ago. Now, it’s released on the Liberals’ web site.

Well, Jack, Who Are We Supposed To Blame Then? Isn’t This The Sort of Thing You Chastise The Liberals For?

By ck, on August 20th, 2010

Well, it’s official now. Jack Layton will not be whipping his caucus into voting against Mullet head Hoeppner’s Bill c-391, the scrapping of the long gun registry which will no doubt, set the precedent for Stevie Spiteful to go the way of no gun control, just like Texas and Arizona. Way to go . . . → Read More: Well, Jack, Who Are We Supposed To Blame Then? Isn’t This The Sort of Thing You Chastise The Liberals For?

Ok, Somebody Has Some ‘Splainin’ To Do! How Did The Harpercons Bounce Back So Quickly?

By ck, on August 10th, 2010

How the hell does Harris-Decima come out with a poll that has Steve bouncing back overnight–So soon after Ipsos-Reid releasing their poll having Harpercon and Liberals’ numbers much closer together? How could Stevie spiteful be already on the rebound? Not like Steve’s changed his mind regarding the census or his big assed private . . . → Read More: Ok, Somebody Has Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!

Will There or Will There Not Be an Election This Fall? Who Would Want It, If Anyone At All?

By ck, on August 10th, 2010

Both EKOS and the usually Harpercon friendly Ipsos-Reid polls have Harpercon numbers slipping and those of the Liberals rising somewhat bringing them to a near tie with, of course, the Harpercons hanging on to a slight advantage. If Steve was really planning to get an election off the ground this fall, his plans . . . → Read More: Will There or Will There Not Be an Election This Fall? Who Would Want It, If Anyone At All?

A Harpercon Fundraising Letter With Same Old Tired Arguments

By ck, on August 2nd, 2010

Indeed. I found this letter over at Susan Delacourt’s blog. We should be amused at this letter, the arguments are just that tired and old and seriously, just don’t reflect today’s reality and in all likelihood, shouldn’t deflect an angry base from why they’re pissed with the Harpercons-the abolition of the census.

Iggy! What Are You Thinking? National Unity? Such Heresy!

By ck, on July 27th, 2010

Reckless! Simply Reckless, I tell you! Iggy! How could even suggest such foolish ideas as to attempt to bring Canadians together! Yes, to the Harpercons, concepts like National Unity are “disturbing trends”.

Here is the latest sunshine the Kory clan had to pump today:

No sooner was the sanitizer flying off the shelf than we received a harsh letter from Liberal MP David McGuinty — brother of Ontario’s Pinocchio Premier — taking us to task for the tone of our critique.

Yes, your’s truly played hooky from work today to attend. Well, no, I actually got permission from my supervisor to get the day off, but you get the idea.

By ck, on July 19th, 2010

With all the blogosphere talking about the potential for Stevie scrapping the long census form; one should stop and ask a few questions. This is, after all, Stevie, the master tactician.
