Sometimes I just can’t keep my mouth shut.

and this would be one of those moments.
 There has been a lot of discussion going on at Bill Tieleman’s blog in response to his post in support of the gun registry in Canada. I’m not going to get into all the details, but suffice it to say that the comments are heated and there are very few people [...]

“Contrary to what the Premier and the Transportation Minister say, the public is NOT behind the government on this contentious issue.”

The above is a quote from Ben West , and it still resonates within my thoughts. It calls me to ask the question, why does Gordon Campbell continue to ram through projects with economic  and ecological/social implications that will affect generations of residents in our area - without the support of the public?
The answer? Money. Profit. Pure and Simple. [...]

Bits and Bites – Wednesday December 10th

It’s Wednesday, hump day, and it sounds like snow is coming our way soon! 14 shopping days left-for those of you who are keeping track. Myself, I haven’t purchased anything yet. Nada. Nothing. This coming Friday will be my ‘do-everything-in-one-day’, day. Get in and get out, no injuries or prisoners. Then, while everyone else is running around like [...]

Tories live to rule another day as Governor General agrees to suspend Parliament.

And thank you to her for doing so.
We Canadians trotted off to the polls recently to elect a leader for our country, and Stephen Harper was clearly the victor. Personally, I did not vote fora coalition government that includes the Bloc, and I’m sure no one else did either. Was that a choice on the [...]

Bits and Bites -Wednesday December 3rd ( ohmygod!!It’s December?)

Hmmm….every year I say I’m going to start shopping in July by buying those little generic gifts you know you are going to need for someone who stops by, or someone who surprises you with a gift, but, as usual, I did not. I am gift-less. On the upside though, I have stocked all my [...]

Me, a Neo-Con?

Nahhhhh- hardly. More like I have a veracity for the truth. And truth seems to be the only thing in short supply during election time.
Which is why I would like to know what Harper plans to do know that his little lie has been exposed about the Cadman tape. The highly disputed portions have had their [...]

Liberal Press handler remains silent on relationship with numbered companies

No reply from Dan Lauzon to this second email fired off yesterday afternoon:

Thank you Dan. Could you please clarify for me if 55555 Inc. / 55555 Canada Inc., are  “partner organizations” of the Liberal Party, or do they perform some other function relating to the [...]

Transparency, Secrecy and the space in between

Humour me a moment.
I recently blogged about the hilarious Conservative smear websites listed under the federal liberal website, www.Liberal.ca.  Should one visit that site, and click on  ‘sites’ ,  you will find  the following websites:
i.liberal.ca
www.thegreenshift.ca
www.thisisdion.ca
www.scandalpedia.ca
www.bushharper.ca
www.harpernomics.ca
Nothing unusual- the almost obligatory smear that all candidates participate in, and this year the Liberals are pulling out all the stops [...]

How much is the Harper Smear Campaign costing the Liberals – and who’s funding it?

In my never ending quest to find some valid reason to vote for someone other than the Conservatives ( not a conservative fan), I’ve been checking out the competitors sites to see what they have to offer.
A short visit to the Liberal party website  offered these bits of Anti- Conservative  propaganda. Check them out if [...]

Is Stephen Harper a POSER????

Well, well, well……. it seems that our Prime Minister IS (was)a lot like Australia’s Prime minister… so much so that they once used the same words, in the same order, in the exact same manner. Well, once that we know about – who knows how many times this has happened. The Vancouver Sun is reporting this [...]
