What’s Next? Over my Dead Body!

By ck, on January 31st, 2010

I should read my daily emails of care2care more often. Once in awhile, it can present something interesting.

What’s next? Little by little! Our bodies are no longer private or our’s to do what we want with.

First, we hear the idiotic arguing of financing abortions during the now (well pretty much, anyway) . . . → Read More: What’s Next? Over my Dead Body!

Now, Who do We Have Left? Has the CBC Joined the Ranks of the Other Harpercon Cheerleaders?

By ck, on January 31st, 2010

Contrary what the whining Blogging Tories might tell anyone who’ll listen, the Corporate media of today is very slanted to the right and they pretty much tell us who to vote for. They tell us what to believe, what our priorities should be and how to feel. Sometimes, their stories, columns and various . . . → Read More: Now, Who do We Have Left?

Saturday Nite Nostalgia

By ck, on January 30th, 2010

This evening, a treat for the baby boomers and perhaps some gen-xers raised on the best of the psychedelic ’60s.

Those who are Gen-Y; it may take getting used to, given what is available to you these days, but I hope you like it.

Yes, it’s The Jefferson Airplane, and not their big . . . → Read More: Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Are Doctors Only In the Profession for Money These Days? What is a Volunteer?

By ck, on January 28th, 2010

Now there’s a frightening concept. In the U.S., this would apparently hold true, given their opposition to health care reform in the U.S. for the most part. Perhaps, not so much in many European countries where they’re paid considerably less than their Canadian counterparts; all European nations seem to pay their doctors less . . . → Read More: Are Doctors Only In the Profession for Money These Days?

I Had to Break My Own Rule

By ck, on January 25th, 2010

Remember how liberal I was with comments? How I allowed all, including those I disagreed with? I would allow anything, no matter how ridiculous as long as it didn’t incite violence.

Well, the time has come for me to break my own rule & I hope it will be the only time I . . . → Read More: I Had to Break My Own Rule

Saturday Nite Nostalgia

By ck, on January 23rd, 2010

After the success of the rallies, I was reminded of this Rolling Stones tune; it was also used in either Sicko or Capitalism a Love Story, I forget which one.

Since I can no longer listen to the Beatles’ version of that song without thinking of Stevie, I thought we should bring . . . → Read More: Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Montreal Event a Success!

By ck, on January 23rd, 2010

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!

Montreal No Prorogue Rally Details Finalized

By ck, on January 20th, 2010

Yes, they are. A short march and a rally with a few very short speeches.

I do hope that those in and around Montreal will come in great numbers despite the early hour. At least (knock wood), the weather should cooperate.

This is a non-partisan event. Everyone is welcome, no matter what . . . → Read More: Montreal No Prorogue Rally Details Finalized

Will the Potential New Buyers of The Montreal Gazette and Two Other Papers Finally add Balance?

By ck, on January 20th, 2010

One can only hope. When something makes Jabba the Roy’s knickers go up in a bunch, one has to believe it can be a good thing. Before I go on: I have to know: since when do real doctors have time to call in radio shows? I think someone likes the sound of . . . → Read More: Will the Potential New Buyers of The Montreal Gazette and Two Other Papers Finally add Balance?

Saturday Nite Nostalgia

By ck, on January 16th, 2010

Well, in light of Stevie probably choosing which blue sweater vest to wear to some charity for his photo ops to fool Canadians, I thought this silly little number by the Kinks would be appropriate.

I’ve always been a fan of Johnny Rivers for some reason. This particular song particularly reflects how . . . → Read More: Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Thanks Thor

By ck, on January 14th, 2010

I would like to thank Thor from the Blog, Driving the Porcelain Bus for what was no doubt long and tedious work find all those links reminding us who Stevie and his nasty little friends are. The real Stevie; the real American Georgie wannabe, ultra right wingnut who shows nothing but contempt for Canadians . . . → Read More: Thanks Thor

French Quebecers Seem to be too Cynical to Care About Prorogation

By ck, on January 13th, 2010

Something that I had been concerned about since this all happened. An article in today’s Grope & Fail with translated sources from French language newspapers. Honestly, had it not been for my observations of apathy amongst my French speaking co-workers and Francophones in general as well as the low Francophone memberships Montreal and . . . → Read More: French Quebecers Seem to be too Cynical to Care About Prorogation

Some should Just Leave Math for those With Know How

By ck, on January 12th, 2010

I had a dilemma earlier: either wreck my page with this drivel of a video or link to the Mathematically challenged shrews Hunter or Sandy’s pages, thus, surely giving them more traffic.

I decided on neither, but will tell you all it’s at Hunter’s page, Climbing out of the Dark, if you dare . . . → Read More: Some should Just Leave Math for those With Know How

Jean Lapierre: Axe to Grind with his Former Party or Harpercon Shill?

By ck, on January 11th, 2010

Which is it? Either? Or both? Maybe neither of the above. If so, why would you tell Andrew Carter, morning man on CJAD, that Canadians don’t care about Harper flying the coup, torturegate, employment insurance and of course, climate change? C’mon Jean, just because you may not care for these things doesn’t mean . . . → Read More: Jean Lapierre: Axe to Grind with his Former Party or Harpercon Shill?

Friday Nite Nostalgia

By ck, on January 8th, 2010

I know, usually reserved for Saturdays, but, I’m still working on a piece which will only be published tomorrow. So, what the hell! Perhaps tomorrow I can have comedy here.

Bon Jovi is probably one of perhaps very few bands past 1980 that I like and whatever I like past 1980, I can . . . → Read More: Friday Nite Nostalgia

Jack Layton Wrote Me Back!

By ck, on January 7th, 2010

Well, at least someone with access to be able to compose emails from his account anyway. It may even be (probably) a mass mailing responding to those who wrote to him. But, it’s something; some semblance to make us feel better:

Here goes the email response:

Thank you for your comments regarding Stephen . . . → Read More: Jack Layton Wrote Me Back!

Stevie Says Fuck Off Canada! Let’s Extend the Same Courtesy!

By ck, on January 6th, 2010

From A Creative Revolution. Go!

Just a thought, We weren’t hit as hard as the U.S. by Global recession that Stevie’s big buddy, Georgie caused largely in part anyway. Why is Stevie hell bent in turning us into Bush era U.S.?

When will you buy a . . . → Read More: Stevie Says Fuck Off Canada! Let’s Extend the Same Courtesy!

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.

A Letter I wrote To My Riding MP

By ck, on January 5th, 2010

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

Hello,

I think most Canadians realize that the prorogation on the part of PM Stephen Harper is more sinister than last year’s. All one has to do is to read the news and the columnists. Globe & Mail‘s John Ibbitson calls . . . → Read More: A Letter I wrote To My Riding MP
