Stevie Spiteful’s Asbestos Hypocrisy, Johnny-Boy Charest, Would Be Modern Day Shylock, Their Enablers And Canadacausescancer.ca

Stevie Spiteful, as you all know by now, boys ‘n’ girls, still refuses to add asbestos to the list of hazardous materials at the Rotterdam Convention.  To be specific, as Pogge pointed out earlier, according to the article from Mia Rabson,

Substances on the list are not banned but countries exporting them must . . . → Read More: Stevie Spiteful’s Asbestos Hypocrisy, Johnny-Boy Charest, Would Be Modern Day Shylock, Their Enablers And Canadacausescancer.ca

Oh Laur-rie Hawwnn! Me Thinks You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!!

Yes, nice to know that the military industrial complex is still very much a concern on the feeble minds of certain yahoo Harpercons.  According to a cable released by Wikileaks to APTN, it would appear that the now demoted esteemed redneck of Edmonton-Center, Laurie Hawn is a tad disappointed these days. He was . . . → Read More: Oh Laur-rie Hawwnn! Me Thinks You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!!

Thanks For Stopping By, Petey! In Fact, Thanks For Nothing! Rant Alert

I’m so not impressed with any of ‘em these days! Not the Harpercons, the NDP opposition, not the Charest Liberals or the Parti Quebecois and of course, the ignoramouses who decide to grace the comment boards of the CBC and the like these days.  What the hell is wrong with all of you????

If The Constitution Has To Be Reopened To Introduce Elected Senators, Why Not Abolish The Senate Altogether?

Let’s open with a rather ominous quote from the only elected senator, Bert Brown, shall we? Because, it’s really an eye opener, and it’s more than a threat, if the provinces don’t get their shit together to set up senate elections that are not paid for by the feds.

“Right now, if Harper . . . → Read More: If The Constitution Has To Be Reopened To Introduce Elected Senators, Why Not Abolish The Senate Altogether?

When The Mentor Becomes The Flake

Don’t worry, folks, Tom Mulcair is going to coach these new kids on the block.

End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority

We have no arrived at the end of the road of  election 41 campaign. We have been polled, tweeted,  newsed, etc.   Before I go on, I would like to review all the party’s campaigns briefly.

Maybe there is something to be said for peek-a-boo campaigns? Jane Taber was certainly very complimentary of . . . → Read More: End of The Road: No Time To Be Lulled Into a False Sense of Security and Stevie Can Still Get His Majority

Enough With The Civics Lessons And The Speculations Already! Wait! I Have Another Scenario To Chew on!

I think Iggy just handed Stevie Spiteful his majority last night while talking to the Harper brown nose of the CBC, Peter Mansbridge.  It was an excercise in Gotcha Bull-shit on the part of Mansbridge, along with the rest of the Harpercon media and Iggy fell for it. Now the Harpercons and their . . . → Read More: Enough With The Civics Lessons And The Speculations Already! Wait! I Have Another Scenario To Chew on!

CK’s Quebec Riding Watch Part 2–Rest of La Belle Province

I’m back to deliver my thoughts on the rest of the province.  You can refer to part 1, Montreal riding watch here.

As I’ve mentioned yesterday, Jean Charest will not be intervening in this election because of his poor reputation at this time as well as the deal he signed with the Harpercons . . . → Read More: CK’s Quebec Riding Watch Part 2–Rest of La Belle Province

CK’s Quebec Riding Watch–Part 1 Montreal

Everybody’s coming out with them. I thought I should put in my two cents. I have divided my analysis into two parts as it will be long, particularly my take on Montreal ridings.  I have added some trivia, some trademark CK snark and some humour.

There will be a few notable differences off . . . → Read More: CK’s Quebec Riding Watch–Part 1 Montreal

Speaker Rules Against Harpercons, But…

There always seems to be a but in the Speaker’s rulings, doesn’t there?  Today appears to be no exception. I will get to that later.

Speaker Peter Milliken has spoken:

Speaker Peter Milliken has found the Conservatives in contempt of Parliament, handing powerful ammunition to opposition claims the Harper government’s autocratic behaviour represents . . . → Read More: Speaker Rules Against Harpercons, But…

Perhaps The Biggest Reason Jack Layton Doesn’t Want To Go To An Election

It appears that Jack Layton will be undergoing hip surgery soon.

The New Democrats are in a position to determine the timing of the election, depending on their support of the March 22 budget, and Layton’s health problems are now a factor in whether Canadians will go to the polls this spring.

Layton’s . . . → Read More: Perhaps The Biggest Reason Jack Layton Doesn’t Want To Go To An Election

Looks Like Harpercons Can’t Wait For The Budget To Call Spring Election

According to Susan Delacourt’s latest article,  one Don Burroughs received a call from the Harpercons yesterday afternoon.  It even appears that a date has been set for March 29th for election day.  Here’s more:

Don Burroughs said he received a call from the Conservative party on Friday afternoon and was asked whether he . . . → Read More: Looks Like Harpercons Can’t Wait For The Budget To Call Spring Election

CK’s Predictions For 2011 – Good, Bad and The Ugly

Some will be predictable. Some, many will chide me for being pessimistic; I call it realism, but anyway…  These are my predictions. If any of my co-bloggers and contributors have any predictions, they’re strongly encouraged to do their own posts about them. It would be interesting indeed. Anyhow, on with the festivities as . . . → Read More: CK’s Predictions For 2011 – Good, Bad and The Ugly

Puzzling: The Bloc Quebecois and the NDP Questions

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

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

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!

Jack Got Lucky, Or Did He? Iggy On The Hot Seat. Bloc With Nothing To Lose. Stevie and Candy, Only Themselves To Blame–Some Last Thoughts Before Gun Registry Vote Tomorrow

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.

Rural NDPs Following Charlie Angus’ Lead?

You all remember  Gary Breitkreuz, right? That yahoo who, through the use of a sock puppet, who is now long gone (naturally), basically threatened to beat Iggy black and blue? Oh yes! Gary Breitkreuz, just a “Good ol’ Boy!” But, unlike Waylon Jennings’ theme to “The Dukes of Hazard”, he really does mean . . . → Read More: Rural NDPs Following Charlie Angus’ Lead?

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

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?

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?

Long Form Census Debacle: Nothing More Than an Attempt at a Perfect Storm For an Election Call For Steve

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.
