Cut the Crap Christy!

Kim — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:22:29 +0000

Our unelected Premier of BC, Christy Clark, can’t figure out why the Occupy Movement insists on persisting in their efforts. From ctvbc yesterday,

Government lawyers have already filed an injunction against Occupy Vancouver protesters, who moved Monday from city property onto provincial land – and Premier Christy Clark says demonstrators shouldn’t expect to see . . . → Read More: Cut the Crap Christy!

Occupy Montreal: a lesson in dealing with itinerants and homeless

Jymn — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:26:58 +0000

As the Occupy movement rolls on, it must deal with those who come not so much to share in the communal building of a new form of alternative resistance to the ills of our financial and governmental system, but for shelter and food. Mixing in with determined occupiers are the itinerants and homeless, . . . → Read More: Occupy Montreal: a lesson in dealing with itinerants and homeless

Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

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. That same scandal that ol’ Chrissie Paradis once . . . → Read More: Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

Homeless For Five Days And Five Nights

ck — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 00:36:18 +0000

In the midst of political blogging my co-bloggers and I usually do around here, I always wanted to interrupt this theme with something different. As someone who is left of center, social justice has always been important to me. As such, I think it is also important to bring awareness to such causes as . . . → Read More: Homeless For Five Days And Five Nights

More About the (Ahem!) “Compassionate” Rethuglicans, Tea-baggers, & other Cons

ck — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 02:17:53 +0000

I just caught the link to the frightening video below. Many of the still images are so reminiscent of images we see in old newspapers and history books of the sights of The Great Depression. In fact, only the fact that they’re in colour and that the scenery looks somewhat modern separates the fact . . . → Read More: More About the (Ahem!) “Compassionate” Rethuglicans, Tea-baggers, & other Cons

Stephen Taylor Now Confirms Stevie Spiteful’s Not So Hidden Agenda

ck — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:59:55 +0000

Yes, for not only those on the fence centrists and those who think Steve has left his Reform and NCC thinking behind and willing to entertain a Sweater vest Steve majority, but also those progressives who are still willing to believe that a few years of a Stevie majority wouldn’t be so terrible or weren’t so . . . → Read More: Stephen Taylor Now Confirms Stevie Spiteful’s Not So Hidden Agenda

Flanagan Takes a Page Right Out of GW Bush’s Playbook

ck — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 16:50:26 +0000

Yes, Tom Flanagan has decided to find a captive audience in the Grope & Fail today, out serving that tough on crime kool-aid. Flanagan shows his talent for taking a positive statistic of lowering crime rates by making them still almost as high as the U.S. Fine, think about that one for a moment; . . . → Read More: Flanagan Takes a Page Right Out of GW Bush’s Playbook

Neo-Cons Continue to Justify Unabashed, Unregulated Capitalist Greed…this Time, Women are the Scapegoat

ck — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:58:55 +0000

Fern Hill’s post regarding taxation on sterilization particularly grabbed my attention this morning. She found this idiotic idea from yet another one of those unstable blogging neo-tards where she expresses idiotic ideas like hitting childless couples with heavy tax penalties and taxing contraception (500%) to the point of turning it into illegal contraband like cocaine . . . → Read More: Neo-Cons Continue to Justify Unabashed, Unregulated Capitalist Greed…this Time, Women are the Scapegoat

Nice to See My Tax Dollars at Work and a Photo-Op Not wasted

ck — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:41:35 +0000

The Grope and Fail certainly didn’t waste any time taking a pic of Stevie and Haitian President Rene Preval, wearing matching blue shirts. All together now: YUCK! Iggy, here’s a hint: the next time you want to do campaign ads; no more blue shirts!

Stevie’s big announcement was a 12 000 000$ pledge to . . . → Read More: Nice to See My Tax Dollars at Work and a Photo-Op Not wasted

Rah Rah Siss Boom Bah! St-Stevie the Cheerleader

ck — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:39:12 +0000

Yes, Stevie has suddenly developped some form of patriotism. He is all ga ga giddy now that the Olympics have started. To him, patriotism means watching over-paid athletes perform death defying stunts and play silly games.

Heaven forbid these ‘athletes’ should go out and get a real job and step out of the bubble . . . → Read More: Rah Rah Siss Boom Bah! St-Stevie the Cheerleader

More Evidence North American Society is Declining

I have to say, I am discouraged. It is indeed a dark day for me and I have been seeing more and more of those lately.

First, I get pissed off reading wall postings from an American neo-con redneck who decided to set up camp and troll at the Facebook group, No Shona Holmes, . . . → Read More: More Evidence North American Society is Declining

Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK! Get your Meds Adjusted! Abortion is Covered Here; Why Shouldn’t It Be Covered Elsewhere?

ck — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:04:49 +0000

I was goofing off on Twitter after dinner to check news updates and other tweets from followers, those I follow, and yes, sometimes the ultra neo-con tweets for entertainment. This evening’s session on Twitter led me once again to Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK’s ( Big Blue Wave if you must know). In all honesty, even if . . . → Read More: Suzy ALLCAPSLOCK! Get your Meds Adjusted!
