Jim Flaherty’s Death Does Not Warrant the Hero Worship he Has Been Receiving

By ck, on April 13th, 2014

I shouldn’t have to open this post with I’m sorry for Flaherty’s family’s loss. That is a given. In fact, I can empathize. I have lost people recently. I really hope Flaherty’s family finds the strength to continue with their lives. It’s one reason why I haven’t really spoken of it on Thursday . . . → Read More: Jim Flaherty’s Death Does Not Warrant the Hero Worship he Has Been Receiving

Thursday Night’s Quebec Election Leader’s Debate and The Power of Misinformation

By ck, on March 22nd, 2014

I’m a bit late giving my opinions here, but here goes.

First off, for those who complained or mocked Pauline Marois for being, shall we say, animated, would you rather a debate where everybody is standing still like statues and speaking in a monotonic voice? Perhaps where they all basically agreed with each . . . → Read More: Thursday Night’s Quebec Election Leader’s Debate and The Power of Misinformation

Let’s Start Commemorating This International Women’s Day by Demanding Justice

By ck, on March 8th, 2014

I will open with a Happy International Women’s Day to all my likeminded readers. However, I’m afraid this is not a pleasant post. I will be talking about many issues facing women today, mainly in Canada.

I found it hilarious that Tasha Kheiriddin, preaching human rights using typical right winged talking points when . . . → Read More: Let’s Start Commemorating This International Women’s Day by Demanding Justice

On Remembrance Day…

By Kim, on November 10th, 2012

Tweet It has been just over a year since my son returned home from the War in Afghanistan.

And Now a Word From the ‘Biblical Scholars’ of Chick-Fil-A

By ck, on August 6th, 2012

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, seeing is believing. These ‘biblical scholars’ who are also historically challenged try to answer why they support Chick-Fil-A and their homophobic stance.

What’s funny is that the interviewer wasn’t asking trick questions. In fact, they were quite straight forward in plain English. Perhaps she should’ve asked phonetically, going . . . → Read More: And Now a Word From the ‘Biblical Scholars’ of Chick-Fil-A

By ck, on August 5th, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, no, this is not from the Excited States of Amerika. This is from Canada. More specifically, from so-called Liberal Toronto. Surprised? I’m not. Let’s keep in mind that Toronto did overwhelming elect a mayor, who, among other things, is homophobic. I know, the place in question is in Brampton, . . . → Read More: No Gays Allowed to Rent Here!

Mr. James Moore: Where Do Babies Come From?

By ck, on May 19th, 2012

Inquiring minds want to know! But it appears that James Moore doesn’t really want us to, or perhaps he doesn’t know hisself. After all, he does belong to a party full of Socons. He has hang-ups with the sex education exhibit at the Museum of Science and Technology.

Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

By Jymn, on January 1st, 2012

Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement. The media will interpret this lack of visibility to the failure of Occupy and continue to treat supporters as dirty fucking hippies. The year of Occupy will have to wait until . . . → Read More: Jymn’s half-assed Predictions for 2012

By ck, on October 30th, 2011

Yes, that would be the same Eric Duhaime, the one who begged the feds, not once, but twice, to somehow intervene in the construction scandal woes in la Belle province, a problem that dates decades that needs systemic changes that not even the feds can touch.

Oh those Crazy Rethuglicans! Gotta hand it to them, they’re nothing else, if not rip roaringly entertaining at times! It seems, they’re particularly nuttier when they fight each other in a primary.

After reading Chrissie Blatchy’s latest scrawlings, just when I think she can’t get any nastier or more insane, she does!

By Jymn, on October 14th, 2011

So it goes in OWS land. Not long after hearing that the Canadian company responsible for kicking out the protesters from Zuccotti Park had backed down, police resumed their indiscriminate head bashing of wayward protest members. At one point a motorcycle cop ran over a pedestrian.
