The World is Watching

Kim — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 00:12:27 +0000

I’m getting tired of the racism displayed for all the world to see right now. I thought we were so much better as a collective society. I was wrong. It’s not just the right-wing extremists. It’s looking to me like somewhere around half of all Canadians are completely unaware of how our country works. . . . → Read More: The World is Watching

An Unprecedented Friday Afternoon Document Dump, cont…

Kim — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 22:27:27 +0000

A message from BC. Last Friday in BC, Christy Clark announced that there will be no fall election. This amounts to a bloodless Coup of our fair province. Clark has no mandate. She is unelected. She sailed into power by the grace and deep pockets of the same group of suspects that may have . . . → Read More: An Unprecedented Friday Afternoon Document Dump, cont…

Most Clear Insight Into Harper’s Mind Thusfar…

Logan — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 09:24:58 +0000

While perusing a Toronto Star article today entitled Harper’s Tories Leave Mulroney Cold I came across this quote from an annonymous Tory MP:

“Being in power is better than not being in power,”

I don’t think a more clear insight into the mind of Stephen Harper has ever been offered up. He’s run . . . → Read More: Most Clear Insight Into Harper’s Mind Thusfar…

Corruption, ad nauseum

Kim — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 23:26:10 +0000

Today’s headlines in the CBC (they have since started to bury the story) and the Globe and Mail (strangely, with 0 comments, yet it does not say that comments are disabled) advise us conveniently, just in time for the Liberal leadership race in BC, that all elected officials are completely exonerated in the matter . . . → Read More: Corruption, ad nauseum

La Marois Is Desperate: Is There Anything She Won’t Do To Be Premier?

ck — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 23:44:48 +0000

I’m sure most have followed the circus that is Quebec politics these days. Premier Jean Charest is the cheese standing alone while everyone; right/left; federalist/separatist; Anglophone/Francophone are all calling for his head served on a silver platter these days. Everybody’s singing oops! Sorry, make that shrieking from the same song book; demanding a public . . . → Read More: La Marois Is Desperate: Is There Anything She Won’t Do To Be Premier?

update from BC.

Kim — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 19:35:15 +0000

Really the definitive piece for describing the mourning taking place in BC right now…for justice, for freedom of the press, transparency, democracy. BC Mary, Robin Mathews, Rafe Mair and Peter Ewart have it all. Including the battle cry to the people, we will not roll over and let you do this on our watch! Go . . . → Read More: update from BC.

This Cannot Be The End Of BC Rail

Logan — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 01:50:25 +0000

The promise was made, “BC Rail is here to stay.” Then they sold it. Then the legislature was raided by the RCMP. Three people were charged with varying things such as fraud, accepting gifts, and offers of employment. Seven years later, the trial was set to resume. Finally, hopefully, we would discover what happened, . . . → Read More: This Cannot Be The End Of BC Rail

In other news, justice is dead in BC…

Kim — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 21:14:03 +0000

Amazing. Apparently this morning in courtroom 54 at the Vancouver Supreme Court, a deal was brokered between the defence for Basi, Virk and Basi and the Crown. Guilty pleas for Basi and Virk, in exchange for no jailtime, they get house arrest. Charges of money laundering have been dropped on the second Mr. Basi. . . . → Read More: In other news, justice is dead in BC…

Come Join the Dark Side! We Got Poutine, Pepsi and Jos Louis! (Mise a Jour)

Maudit merde de Tabarnac!! Maclean’s has gone and done it again, like so many corporate media outlets in the rest of Canada do; they bash our Belle Province de Quebec. Maclean’s is claiming that Quebec is THE most corrupt province in Canada and will be published in this week’s magazine. Well, we must be doing . . . → Read More: Come Join the Dark Side!

the hanging judge

Kim — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 17:26:07 +0000

I have promised to delve into the judiciary and how that pertains to our current crisis in democracy in Canada, but I just can’t possibly do justice (pun intended) to the subject to the degree that Robin Mathews can! From The Legislature Raids Second article down, by Robin Mathews September 20, 2010. And then, . . . → Read More: the hanging judge

the horseman

Kim — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 19:51:07 +0000

I have been seeing some very disturbing trends in policing in this country of late. The symptoms are widespread throughout the body to the point where I can’t tell where the disease leaves off, it in itself may be a symptom of a pandemic of much greater proportions. I having been noticing alarming . . . → Read More: the horseman

Gotta Fill ‘em New Big Assed Prisons; Not Prison Farms, but Big Assed Private Prisons

ck — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:55:10 +0000

Wow! I mean, just…wow! I go away from the blogosphere, thinking it would be same ol’; same ol’ since I left it early last week. Much of the same is going on but with even more stupidity and desperation and insanity on the part of the Harpercons. The more time goes on these days, . . . → Read More: Gotta Fill ‘em New Big Assed Prisons; Not Prison Farms, but Big Assed Private Prisons

I Smell a Made-For-TV Movie Or a Danielle Steele-ish Novel

ck — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:20:04 +0000

Or both…usually there is some trashy novel with the shorter and trashier version of the movie to come…

This rather long column in the Toronto Star has just all those ingredients for Steele-ish/Collins-esque novel–Trashy made for TV movie of the week. I mean, this kind of thing just writes itself. It is once again, . . . → Read More: I Smell a Made-For-TV Movie Or a Danielle Steele-ish Novel
