My Prediction? We’re a Goin’ To Have an Early Snap Federal Election

By ck, on February 8th, 2014

Well boys n girls, I’m about to make another prediction. I believe Stevie Spiteful is going to call an early snap election. The election will likely be called sometime later this spring or early summer after the newly gerrymandered election map has been redrawn, complete with 30 more seats. Here’s why.

Stevie Harper Will Never Leave, At Least, Not Until Next Election

By ck, on June 9th, 2013

Many journos, pundits, and journos are speculating as to whether or not ol’ Stevie Spiteful will leave sooner rather than later. Hell, even Chantal Hebert, who announced in her last column for the Toronto Star that she is taking a summer leave of absence to write book, announced that she made arrangements with . . . → Read More: Stevie Harper Will Never Leave, At Least, Not Until Next Election

A Politician Who Keeps Her Promise and How Long Will Pauline Marois and the PQ Last?

By ck, on September 23rd, 2012

Pauline Marois had a very busy first day of school, boys ‘n’ girls. After the first day school, by decree, La Marois has scrapped the proposed tuition hike for at least this year, struck the most contentious and punitive portions of Bill 78 (now Bill 12), issued a permanent moratorium on the production . . . → Read More: A Politician Who Keeps Her Promise and How Long Will Pauline Marois and the PQ Last?

Why Franky Legault, What is Your Hurry?

By ck, on September 6th, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, it looks like ol’ Franky Legault is confirming one of my predictions and worst fears. It appears that ol’ Franky Legault is in even more of a hurry for the Liberals to select a permanent leader than they are.

Why I #DenounceHarper and For That Matter, Canada Day And Opposition Parties, You’re Nothing To Write Home About Neither

By ck, on July 1st, 2012

I caught the #DenounceHarper hash tag on Twitter this morning again to commemorate Canada Day. I found it quite fitting, really.

Boys ‘n’ girls, I thought it would be fitting if I gave my reasons why I #DenounceHarper and Canada Day and why you should too.

Justin Trudeau’s “great hair” – Toronto Sun’s independent thinkers dutifully recite Con talking points

By Jymn, on June 29th, 2012

Justin Trudeau humiliated Sun Media by knocking the shit out of a Conservative Senator, broadcast live on Sun News Network in front of taunting and eventually stunned TV hosts and an even more stunned Conservative audience.

Justin is the son of the most hated Liberal and one of Canada’s most popular PM’s ever. . . . → Read More: Justin Trudeau’s “great hair” – Toronto Sun’s independent thinkers dutifully recite Con talking points

Ted Opitz Election Overturned By Court But Don’t Get Too Excited

By ck, on May 18th, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, it’s often we hear about good news in this increasingly undemocratic nation of Harperland. However, when something good happens, we really should take note of it, even if it may well only last a short while. Yep, the election results of Etobicoke Center have been overturned by the court.

Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement.

We Don’t Have a Speaker! We Have a Stevie Spiteful Yes Man!

By ck, on December 13th, 2011

I honestly don’t know why people are so shocked about our adorable speaker, Andy Scheer. I always knew he would be a hyper-partisan speaker. Others speculated about whether or not he could be non-partisan, as well, despite the fact that the Harpercons would’ve preferred someone older.

It’s official, Daniel Paille has won the Bloc Quebecois leadership with a little over 61% on the second ballot (they used a preferential voting system).

How can opposition battle Harper’s War Against Information when there’s no battle plan?

By Jymn, on November 21st, 2011

HillTimes:

There are an estimated 1,500 communications staffers working in ministers’ offices and departments, including 87 in the PMO and PCO.

(And don’t forget Sun Media, Postmedia, editorial board at Globe & Mail and 90 percent of the media.)

Oooh! Shiver me timbers! Pat Martin used the word “Fuck”. Wow! Not like he the first politician to use it publicly. Remember Senator Nancy Ruth’s shut the fuck up moment?

Susan Delacourt points this out in her blog this morning. Some examples are cited.

It seems that Timmy Hudak is pulling a Stevie Spiteful. When in doubt, bring out the evul coalition bogey man!

Speaking at a Toronto hockey arena, Mr. Hudak repeatedly lumped the other two parties together and suggested any alliance would inevitably lead to higher taxes in the province. He said such a coalition . . . → Read More: Ontarians, Are You Getting a Sense of Deja-Vu?

And Now, Let the Leadership Race Games Begin…But Before That, Let’s View The Quebec Challenge

By ck, on August 29th, 2011

Speculation regarding Jack Layton’s successor had already begun within days following his death. Personally, I thought it was in poor taste. Kind of predatorial, really. I mean, couldn’t we bury Jack first before getting to this new business?

RIP Jack Layton, 1950-2011

By ck, on August 22nd, 2011

I just learned that Jack Layton passed away from cancer much too young early this morning, surrounded by his family. He certainly made history for the federal NDP and contributed a lot and still had much to contribute.

I’m Sure Mme Turmel Expects Nothing Less

Well, what do we have here? Some Harpercons along with Timmy Powers, warning that Nycole Turmel will be “no 1 target” of her political opponents.
