I've got to be honest... I'm really happy to see some former MPs punted into retirement today. The only thing that tempers my joy at seeing these morons sent packing, is that some of the morons that needed to be retired somehow managed to retain their seats. The MPs I'm referring to here are the NDP Turncoats... the MPs that said they would vote to scrap the registry and … [Read more...]

If Layton’s and Ignatieff’s Current Spending Habits are anything to go by…
If Layton's current spending habits are anything to go by... then an NDP-led coalition government with the Liberals will lead us down the road of financial ruin. That's a pretty strong statement, but I stand by it for this reason: Government records of MP spending shows that Jack Layton tops spending by all MPs in the House of Commons. The thing is, he's not spending his … [Read more...]

The iPod Tax and the Coalition of Ignatieff, Layton and Duceppe
A $75 tax on anything with a hard drive? Sounds ludicrous, doesn't it. But so did a tax on blank CDRoms back in 1997, and that came true faster than you can say "Liberal-New Democrat-Bloc Coalition". I'll get to Charlie Angus and his proposed iPod Tax in a minute. Most people don't realize any more that the cost of every single blank cdrom (rewritable or not) sold in … [Read more...]
More news about CBC’s Vote Compass and the Liberal Connection
The news about CBC's Vote Compass tool just gets better and better. A few days I wrote about how the tool was allegedly created "to help voters decide" who to vote for in the upcoming federal election.

NDP MPs Under Fire
While NDP party leader Jack Layton does the right thing (allowing a free vote on Candice Hoeppner's private member's Bill C-391), Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff declares war on two NDP MPs. Niki Ashton (Churchill) and Malcolm Allen (Welland) are the two MPs that Ignatieff believes are the key to ending Bill C-391. In a post on the Liberal party website, Ignatieff … [Read more...]
