Why the Con's Phony Tax Revolt Is Doomed to Fail



If you believe our Con media you might think that the entire country was rising up to fight the Liberal government's plan to make our tax system fairer.

If you believe Andrew Scheer, you might think that millions of middle class Canadians are as mad as hell at Justin Trudeau for calling them tax cheats.



Even if he didn't.

If you believe Pierre Poilievre, you might think that Canada is in a state of rebellion.

And sure enough, here's an anti-tax protest in Saskatoon...

The Greedy One Percent and the Moral Message of Bernie Sanders



I remember seeing a lot of signs like those  during the heady days of the Occupy movement.

Back in the days when everything seemed possible, and it looked like the beginning of a revolution.

But of course it didn't happen, the movement was brutally put down, and seemed to fade away. Even as the rich grew richer, and the poor grew poorer.

But you can't kill an idea or a movement whose time has come. 

And the Occupy dreamers were right, capitalism doesn't work.

The Capitalist Pigs and the Cream Separator

















Uh oh. I mean oink oink. I see the unrepentant capitalist pig just can't help itself. Stuffing itself with human misery. While the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. 

A new report finds that the gap between the rich and the poor just keeps getting wider in Canada.

So much for the Con plan to cut government jobs, drive down wages, reduce benefits by attacking unions, while giving the rich juicy tax breaks.

Does God Hate Sunday Shopping?















P.E.I.'s Transportation Minister seems to believe he does.

A debate over Sunday shopping has led P.E.I.'s transportation minister to suggest God had struck down the leader of the Opposition, who fell and injured herself after introducing a bill to allow Sunday openings year-round.

"I'm not what you call a saint, but I believe in God and I believe in [doing] the best I can do. You were at CBC pushing Sunday shopping, were you not? On TV?" he asked Crane. "Right after that interview what happened?"

"We had a bit of an accident," Crane responded.

"Does that not tell you something?" said MacKinley.

"Like what?" said Crane.

"Like the Lord works in mysterious ways, and maybe you should start worrying what's going on here? We are going all the time, we're getting farther and farther away, whether it's prayers in the schools or whatever it is," said MacKinley.


Holy Spud Batman. He's the Transportation Minister? How do they get around in P.E.I.? On donkeys, camels, or chariots?

And although I almost don't dare type this question eh?

In case I break a finger.

But if God hates Sunday shopping.

What does he think of shopping on Black Friday?

And isn't that WORSE?



MacKinley you theocratic buffoon. You idiot. Repeat after me:

Sunday is just another day. 

Shopping is religion.

And God is a SALE...
