I’ll repeat it one more time! God Almighty folks, I never thought I’d see the day! Canada appears to be sliding into another round of unity woes — divided this time over economics and ideology between the New Democrats of Thomas Mulcair and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. ———————————————————- Photograph by: REUTERS/Chris Wattie , National [...]

Dear Readers: Bev Oda needs to be bounced. Not only from the Conservative Party, but from Parliament and politics in general! I can’t believe the hubris of this woman who spends the taxpayers hard earned bucks like it was Monopoly money. First she ditches her “5 Star” room at the Grange St. Paul for an [...]

By David Frum: Under Stephen Harper, Canada can fairly claim to be the best-governed country among advanced democracies in the world. Thursday’s federal budget locks up Canada’s lead. Right now, the major economies share a common economic problem: With the world slowly and fitfully emerging from the worst economic crisis since the 1930s, they must [...]

Dear Readers: You may have heard from the mainstream media that Justin Trudeau won the boxing match against Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau in their charity boxing match in Ottawa Saturday night, but don’t believe everything ya hear. According to the Perspective Research Department Brazeau gave Trudeau a standing knockout in the third round and the [...]

It sucks being right. I said sometime ago on this blog that this is a government that makes lists of enemies; lists and files containing whatever damaging or private information might be useful to them. At this point it would not surprise me in the lea…

By Marc McDonaldWelcome to Progressive Music Classics, a series I run at my blog that I’m bringing to The Reaction. The mighty post-punk band Gang of Four emerged from Leeds in the late 1970s. Their debut album, Entertainment! was a ferocious blas…

By RamonaDon’t expect me to be going over every single attack on women’s rights just because I’m writing about modern-day, 21st-century, 2012, just-in-the-last-month attacks, which, as you might have noticed, are escalating at such a dizzying pace we c…

The Prime Minister is acting like someone with a guilty mind. It’s been hard on all Conservatives I’ve spoken with to admit this is the case. Consider you’re a Conservative (if you aren’t), and imagine the possibility that the Prime Minister is implicated in a conspiracy to commit elections fraud. If you’re not willing to [...]

Reading poetry is apparently cool; At least as cool as the Maple Leafs are.
I hope I did a service for my country in reading this. Service was a pun, sorry about that.

Special thanks to my Green blog buddy, Jim Bobby for the poem adaptation.

Conservatives should know better than anyone that it isn’t the number of people who protest that is important, what matters is why they’re doing it. Many have attacked the turnout of protests against the government in recent years, from th…

As organizations and groups committed to protecting freedom of expression and public debate on Palestine/Israel, we demand that Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney immediately retract his March 7th statement “conde…

“…Nothing happened”
Elizabeth May’s passionate speech imploring our “tough on crime government to get tough on electoral crime!”

The video is a week old, but is as relevant at my writing, as it was back then. There…

Oil Man Bruce Carson is possibly getting a free pass from a government who came to power claiming to be tough on lobbyist stains. After being caught red handed with ex-con Bruce Carson in the Prime Minister’s Office, advising Prime Minister Harper, the report on what to do has been largely ignored by the main [...]

There’ve been murmurs about renaming the RoboGate/RoboCon/RoboCalls/RoboScam scandal into something else, or dropping a cutesy name altogether. The fact is there were live calls made as well as robodialed calls, where the voice pretended to be representing Elections Canada, and Constitutionally illegal fake information was given to the phone call recipients. Since most parties used [...]

Making the social democratic movement operate like a “normal” more centrist political party is the kind of advice the mainstream press has been offering to the NDP since shortly after it was founded in Calgary, as the CCF, in 1932.
NDP members want the…

Stephen Lauten has laid out a very plausible track and concludes that the voter suppression that appears to have occurred could only have been a well coordinated plan carried out by a very knowledgeable group.Go read.

If Del Mastro is a robot, expect his head to blow off from a serious logic error [Star Trek style], any day now. The Liberals made an improper robocall, in Guelph of all places, and it confused the issue around the Conservative-supporting illegal robocalls across the country that impersonated Elections Canada, and misdirected voters to [...]

Now that Poutine’s identity is [almost] out in the open, we need to know how he made those calls. Fortunately I know some good bloggers who can help you understand that part of the Poutine election fraud conspiracy I call RoboCon (AKA RoboGate, RoboCalls, RoboScam, Scam Calls Scandal, Decepti-calls, etc.) The scandal has been in [...]

Canada’s short-lived version of Where’s Waldo, is now closing one chapter in the morning, to open a new phase of the search. Will Pierre Poutine finger their co-conspirators, and spill the curds about the whole electoral fraud scheme? I’m guessing that is unlikely to happen, so it will be up to police to follow the [...]
