The polls and news reports are filled with the notion that Jack Layton will do what Michael Ignatieff cannot... win votes in Quebec. There's even talk that Layton will outperform the Bloc Quebecois on their home soil! Can you imagine that? Quebecers being fed up with a political party whose sole aim is to break up the country? If this is true, then Hallelujah! But … [Read more...]
Banks move to cap Debit Card spending to protect profits
A story coming out of CNN Money and LogisticsMonster.com caught the attention of my friend Jane Gaffin's attention the other day. Her comment prefacing the links she sent me was: Still Have Your Money In A Bank? Are You Freakin’ Kidding Me? Case in point: Debit cards: $50 spending limit coming? (That's not enough to pay for a couple's lunch much less new boots for … [Read more...]
Canada’s First Family of Moral and Intellectual Bankruptcy
RE: The Conservative Party, as with most Canadians, finds outrage and revulsion in some of the more brutal facets of Middle Eastern and Asian culture. Previously, under the stewardship of the Liberal Party of Canada and its lunatic policies of multiculturalism, immigrants have been welcomed to Canada with no instruction that Canada will not tolerate honour killings, female … [Read more...]
Justin Trudeau isn’t “barbaric”, he’s a “moron”
Trust the son of PET to come up with such a stupid statement... As if riding on daddy's coattails isn't enough, he's decided it's time to make his own mark on the Canadian political landscape. Poor little Justin is all upset over the wording in a pamphlet that's sent out to folks wanting to immigrate to Canada from around the world. The wording he finds so … [Read more...]
Obama wants more “gun control”… shocked, I am!
It's no shocker that Obama wants more "gun control". Of course he does! It's also no surprise that he blames gun owners for the problems, without actually putting it into those words. Everyone know he'd be making some dumbass announcement about "gun control" after Congress-woman Gabrielle Giffords was shot along with dozens of others. It was only a matter of … [Read more...]

Nothing spells H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E quite like “Hillary Clinton”
In yet another astounding display of hypocrisy, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke out of both sides of her face during a speech at George Washington University last week. Saying “There’s no app” for fighting internet repression, she was clearly addressing the Egyptian crisis, where the government cut off all internet access to the country in a desperate bid to stay … [Read more...]
Bill C-60 — citizen’s arrest and defences of property and persons
Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in Toronto Thursday to announce the introduction of a government bill, C-60, that would, in theory, prevent honest citizens like Toronto store owner David Chen from being abused by our legal system. Officially the title of Bill C-60 is “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen’s arrest and the defences of property and persons)”. … [Read more...]
Conservative Govt to introduce citizen’s arrest legislation?
The Globe and Mail reported that the Harper government was getting ready to introduce legislation making it easier for citizens to make arrests. This comes in the wake of Toronto shopkeeper David Chen’s horrific experience at the hands of the Ontario criminal justice system. What’s heartening about this announcement that, if it’s true, it could begin to put an end to … [Read more...]
BC Politics — Corruption as usual
There's one thing you can always count on in BC Politics: It's never about what's best for the province or the people, but about what's best for the people wanting power over both of them. In the wake of the latest scandal-ridden BC Premier, Gordon Campbell, the dog and pony show has been in full swing to see who gets to sit in the Big Chair. BC Liberal Party president … [Read more...]
