Not that it's taken that seriously either. But Elections Canada has neither the laws or the tools to properly protect our democracy, and that is an absolute scandal...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-32440176675218485252015-01-19T04:42:22.070-05:002015-01-19T04:42:22.070-05:00If Arthur Porter is to be extradited from Panama, ...If Arthur Porter is to be extradited from Panama, why isn't Ken Morgan being extradited from Kuwait City for further questioning?

A couple of my friends have mercilessly mocked me for being so optimistic, but all things considered I'd rather live my life that way in this sometimes gloomy country. And who is to say there isn't a pony under that heap of manure or bitumen? ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-11551712120249551952015-01-18T17:00:05.013-05:002015-01-18T17:00:05.013-05:00hi granny Betty...I'm not familiar with the cl...hi granny Betty...I'm not familiar with the clip but I will try to look it up, and Joe Oliver's explanation certainly was a comedic routine. Nothing can hide the fact that they are desperate, and they are making it up as they go along. But hopefully most reasonable Canadians will see it for what it is, and they will make the Cons pay for it when the time comes....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-62495005988055294632015-01-18T16:57:03.649-05:002015-01-18T16:57:03.649-05:00hi anon...yes it is a great list, and the brillian...hi anon...yes it is a great list, and the brilliant Alison has had to work hard to keep it up to date. As for celebrating the day the Con regime, I once made the foolhardy vow to run naked down St Catherine's street in Montreal the day it did. But I am a bit older and wiser now, and I think your celebration sounds more reasonable. ;) I will however party for days or until I collapse from exhaustion for it will be a glorious day....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-51641183019579224322015-01-18T16:53:12.640-05:002015-01-18T16:53:12.640-05:00hi bcwaterboy...you are right about the threat pos...hi bcwaterboy...you are right about the threat posed by some of those Harper appointees, like that new judge he appointed for his anti-gay views. There were warnings about Porter even before he got the job of supervising that new super hospital in Montreal, a project I was very interested in, since it replaced among others the Royal Victoria Hospital a place I know well. So I really can't believe that a man like that should have ended up in such a powerful position supervising CSIS of all things. It's absolutely mind-blowing, I feel that there are things we need to know about the Con connection, and I'm looking forward to Porter's trial. As for Alison's perp list, there is no better one, and only one Alison....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-45084471246230440982015-01-18T14:14:35.767-05:002015-01-18T14:14:35.767-05:00Suncor Calgary based oil company and bitumen devel...Suncor Calgary based oil company and bitumen developer just laid off 1000 people how is Harper/Oliver going to explain that to Calgarians?
