RedBedHead: Norm Kelly v Rob Ford: The Right Wing Mayor Is Dead. Long Live The Right Wing Mayor!
Happier days for the populist right
Well, it was indeed a circus at city hall yesterday. I wasn’t able to attend the performance live but did have the pleasure of watching some of it unfold via the miracle of the interwebs. Those Ford brothers sure know how to do a great imitation of The Sopranos – belligerent, bullying, pulling faces like a couple of 12-year old school yard pricks. Better

Richard Hub Hughes-Political Blogger Canadians are all going to be affected by the Harper Government handiwork on many levels. In the news right now of course the Chief Theresa Spence Hunger Strike and the ever growing ‘Idle No More’ movement are, as they say, trending. The pressure on PM Harper

If Stephen Harper thought his grudging offer to meet with the AFN Chiefs would defuse the Idle No More movement, he couldn't have been more wrong.From Sydney to Cornwall to Vancouver.Because you can't stop a movement whose time has come eh?Or it seems stop Christie Blatchford from smearing those in the

Assorted content for your Sunday reading. – Pam Palmater explains the historical background to Idle No More: (M)ost Canadians are not used to the kind of sustained, co-ordinated, national effort that we have seen in the last few weeks — at least not since 1969. 1969 was the last time

Poor Chrissie, down time from hanging around the Shafia trial and sounding “honour killing” dog whistles is proving not to suit her too much. Her latest column in the Nasty post proves as much. I guess during down time for Chrissie, she can only write so many autobiographical columns about

After reading Chrissie Blatchy’s latest scrawlings, just when I think she can’t get any nastier or more insane, she does!
It’s why, where I used to think that before I got really old I’d get me a gun so I could shoot myself, I now wonder if I won’t instead turn the weapon . . . → Read More: Chrissie Blatchford–Shoot the Nurses; Ask Questions, Later, Maybe, If it Suits My Agenda

Niagara Health is taking a beat down lately. First it was an uncontrolled C. difficile outbreak, then a provincial administrator was appointed to deal with the outbreak, and now this: When Doreen Wallace fell and broke her hip in the lobby of a Niagara Falls hospital, she figured at least she’d get help — and fast. But […]

I actually did a double take, and my jaw dropped, slightly when I read this: It’s why, where I used to think that before I got really old I’d get me a gun so I could shoot myself, I now wonder if I won’t instead turn the weapon on some officious hospital executive, wanker bureaucrat […]

Conservatives. Paper lions. They roar, they brag, they do everything except confront those who would question them or disrupt their one-lane political evangelism. They will tell you their flight from confrontation is out of fear protesters would disrup…

Man, what a bitter woman she is!! Is there no nasty she’ll stop at to suck up to a man in uniform? This time, she’s after Lori Massicotte. You remember Ms Masicotte, that poor surviving victim of ex-Col. Russell Williams who was left bound and naked for five hours by police? Yep, ol’ . . . → Read More: Chrissie Bitchford is At it Again!

It’s no wonder. When you consider this yesterday from the ‘liberal’ New York Times:The group’s lack of cohesion and its apparent wish to pantomime progressivism rather than practice it knowledgably is unsettling in the face of the challenges so many …

Indeed she is, so are others in her field today, sadly. But before I go into that. I will do a little review of the past few days of others of her friends like CJAD’s Trude the Prude and of course, Johnny Kay’s Mommy, Babs Kay.

Another National Post column. Another cry for help. Poor Christie. The big, bad public didn’t like her innocent little Jack Layton column and she’s sad. For herself. You see, we’re all wrong and she’s right. Far right.H/T: @PopeShakey
