I’m pretty sure there’s nothing better than a Pierre Poilievre, periodically interrupted… By definition, a filibuster is a prolonged speech; however, the intent of a filibuster, as a political procedure, is to delay or entirely prevent a decision from being made on a particular proposal, or disrupting the legislative agenda,

The corporate tax rate in 2000 was 28% and the unemployment rate was 6.8%. In 2013, the unemployment rate was 7.2% and the corporate tax rate was 15%. Ever wonder why the Harper government™ does not demand job creation from Canadian corporations for these corporate tax cuts? More than 45,000

Canadians are penniless. Love the penny. Hate the penny. Regardless of your feelings on the penny… sure, the penny’s days were numbered, but now that the penny is on its way out, I have a few questions and comments. What of caSh only businesses? What of consumers? And, what of

On March 25, 2011, the House of Commons passed a motion of non-confidence by a vote of 156 to 145. And with that, Stephen Harper and his Conservative Cabinet were found to be in contempt of parliament — an unprecedented finding in Canadian and Commonwealth parliamentary history. How to celebrate:

The Harper government re-introduced the Copyright Modernization Act, Bill C-11 in September 2011. Wonder about where the coverage is on Bill C-11? Me, too. SOPA + PIPA may be dead — or shelved — but Bill C-11 is alive and well and set to pass ASAP in 2012. The Harper

The proposed oil pipeline from Bruderheim, AB to Kitimat, BC will spill. It is not a question of if, but when — and by how much. FYI, oil and gas pipeline incidents and accidents are a regular occurrence in Canada. The majority are classified as minor, discharging less than 10 litres
