By Kim, on February 21, 2012, at 11:22 pm Kevin Falcon, BC’s soon to be unemployed Finance Minister tabled his “Prudent and Responsible” Budget today. Which would be fine, if it were true, but it’s not. The reason his budget is complete and utter bullshit is his plan to privatize one of BCs few remaining moneymaking corporations, the Liquor Distribution Branch. According . . . → Read More: Christy Clark’s BS Budget

By Kim, on January 27, 2012, at 11:21 pm Our Canada is gone. Harper made that perfectly clear this morning in Davos, Switzerland. Sweeping changes to Old Age Pensions. Privatisation of science and innovation. Deregulation. MacKay signed off our military sovereignty quietly yesterday, authorising Homeland Security operations on Canadian soil, in the event of an emergency, or a terrorist attack…

By Kim, on January 3, 2012, at 11:41 pm Today the news sites are jam packed with interesting tidbits about government spending and the disparity of wealth in this country. First out of the gate is the fact that CEO’s and CFO’s earned the median Canadian income by noon today.

By Jymn, on January 1, 2012, at 10:33 am Occupy will stay underground and grow its infrastructure and goals. More and more organizations and individuals will pledge allegiance to the movement. The media will interpret this lack of visibility to the failure of Occupy and continue to treat supporters as dirty fucking hippies.

Others speculated about whether or not he could be non-partisan, as well, despite the fact that the Harpercons would’ve preferred someone older.

By ck, on November 20, 2011, at 11:52 pm Indeed I think that’s exactly how Georges Seurat would’ve visualized ol’ Lieutenant Pike.

It’s not enough to exhibit iron-fisted control over his own party members and the media but Mr. Harper is making sure that theConservative message is also dictated to the RCMP.
Self-censorship is almost tolerable in the ranks of one’s own party but muzzling the RCMP is a crime against all . . . → Read More: Quelle surprise! Harper muzzles top dog Mountie.

Conservatives have a very well defined hierarchy of idiocy. The National Post is about midway down the pack, excelling at Disingenuous, Lacks Moral Clarity and Will Do Anything to Further a Conservative Meme. Not to mention the bottom of the pack for Empathy.

By Jymn, on September 26, 2011, at 8:20 am Local right-wing gadfly and embarrassment to the city, Vancouver’s Paris Hilton, Leah Costello, is hosting war criminal Dick Cheney at her very elite, very right wing Bon Mot book club. It is appropriate however that a member of the cocktail wienie set is responsible for inviting such a ‘controversial’ criminal to our country and fair city.
