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

ck — Thu, 02 May 2013 01:29:41 +0000

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 the . . . → Read More: Oh Bob Fife, Are You Suggesting That You Get Paid Less Than Your CBC Counterparts?

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 in . . . → 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!

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!

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

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, now!

Occupy Wall Street going mainstream?

Jymn — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 12:37:53 +0000

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

ck — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 21:11:13 +0000

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 had . . . → 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

ck — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 19:47:54 +0000

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 had . . . → 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

ck — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 01:07:20 +0000

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 ga . . . → Read More: Meet British Tory Backbencher, Philip Davies–He Can Make Harpercon Cheerleaders Blush

My Apologies To Muguette Paille

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 compared . . . → Read More: My Apologies To Muguette Paille

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

ck — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:16:12 +0000

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 to . . . → Read More: Yeah, Mr McGuinty!
