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

Jason Kenney Gets His Job Data From Kijiji — Myths Regarding Labour & Skills Shortages Debunked

By ck, on March 29th, 2014

Boys n girls, very recently, data from Stats Can and the Parliamentary Budget Office have been debunking the Harpercon propaganda regarding so-called “skills shortages”; sounding off on a supposed future “labour shortage”. It’s about time. Jason Kenney was recently skewered after going on Power Play with Don Martin, singing the praises of Kijiji. . . . → Read More: Jason Kenney Gets His Job Data From Kijiji — Myths Regarding Labour & Skills Shortages Debunked

Oh Bob Fife, Are You Suggesting That You Get Paid Less Than Your CBC Counterparts?

By ck, on May 1st, 2013

That is the question @YukonGale asked on Twitter tonight during tonight’s episode of Power Play on the boob tube this fine evening. I watched it too. For those who did not watch, Don Martin asked both journalists (Toronto Star’s Tim Harper and of course, Bob Fife, CTV’s Ottawa bureau chief) he had on . . . → Read More: Oh Bob Fife, Are You Suggesting That You Get Paid Less Than Your CBC Counterparts?

“Where the Heck is Gerry Ritz” A New Hit From Jimbobbysez

By ck, on October 6th, 2012

Yes, boys ‘n’ girls, here is the latest hit from Jimbobbysez.

On a more serious note, commenter Holly Stick left this link at my post regarding the meat industry. It is a must read. The meat industry is far from exempt from culprit corporations who are driving down wages and union busting . . . → Read More: “Where the Heck is Gerry Ritz” A New Hit From Jimbobbysez

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

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

Nice Little ‘Manifesto’ You Got There, But, I’m Going To Burst Your Little Bubble–You ARE Part of the 99%

By ck, on October 13th, 2011

Boys ‘n’ girls, let’s give this college senior a big hand here! No, really! They’re making it on their own without any help from anyone on very little! Or so it would appear…

Oh, college senior, but you are very much part of the 99% ! Say it loud! Say it proud, . . . → Read More: Nice Little ‘Manifesto’ You Got There, But, I’m Going To Burst Your Little Bubble–You ARE Part of the 99%

Occupy Wall Street going mainstream?

By Jymn, on September 30th, 2011

Occupy Wall Street protests have garnered very little media attention, especially the television kind. Yes, there’s been the usual ‘dirty fucking hippies’ smirking from the New York Times and the like, but nothing substantial. Most Americans, except those who work or live near Wall Street, have taken little notice. That’s about to change.

Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

By ck, on June 30th, 2011

Finally, I post my thoughts about the NDP filibuster of Stevie Spiteful’s draconian Back to work legislation of locked out Canada Post workers and the press coverage it has received, along with many Canadians’ attitude toward it. I’m not only concerned at Canadians’ attitudes toward Bill c-6, but also all the misinformation that . . . → Read More: Being Oppositional, ‘Socialist’ Filibuster Drinking Games, Pandering to the Misinformed, Attempting To Debunk Some Myths

How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers

By ck, on June 27th, 2011

Assuming Stevie Spiteful stays in power, that is, and after watching both the NDP and the Liberals, this week-end, along with Stevie Spiteful’s spin machine in his media, it looks like it could well be for a very, very long time to come. Only a very sleep deprived Lizzy May seemed to have . . . → Read More: How Bill C-6 Can Set a Dangerous Precedent For All Working Canadians, Including Non-Unionized Workers

Meet British Tory Backbencher, Philip Davies–He Can Make Harpercon Cheerleaders Blush

By ck, on June 21st, 2011

I probably shouldn’t be blogging about this asshole, as I’m sure our labour minister, Ms Lisa Raitt would no doubt, find him, well, sexy. However, I’m sure what backward, assinine this British Tory backbencher is pushing will no doubt find its’ way here in Harperland and in the US, to make the tea-baggers . . . → Read More: Meet British Tory Backbencher, Philip Davies–He Can Make Harpercon Cheerleaders Blush

My Apologies To Muguette Paille

By ck, on April 14th, 2011

De Beaux Os left a comment to an earlier post I wrote on Mme Paille and she brought up a point I didn’t think of. When I first saw Mme Paille’s facebook fan page last night, I saw a few compare her to “Joe the Plumber”. Sure enough, many in the media . . . → Read More: My Apologies To Muguette Paille

Yeah, Mr McGuinty! How Dare You Restrict My Freedoms By Implementing a Worker’s Rights Bill!

By ck, on November 4th, 2010

Well, not my freedoms; I live in Quebec for openers. However, that is basically what’s ruining Maria “Dodo Can’t Spell” ‘s day or shall I say, life, to hear her rant about it. That’s right boys ‘n’ girls! Rights for Temp Workers is tantamount to slavery! Slavery! She says! Apparently, she enjoys being forced . . . → Read More: Yeah, Mr McGuinty!
