Stephen Harper and the Scandal that Won't Disappear



He's gone to ground. He can't be found. He's hiding from the media. Even his Twitter feed has gone silent. 

He's trying to make the sordid Senate scandal disappear by disappearing himself.

But even from the safety of his hideout, he's lashing out at those he considers his enemies.

The Ghastly Legacy of Margaret Thatcher



This time I waited until I was sure she was dead before I started celebrating eh?

For I'll never forget the last time Margaret Thatcher's death was announced.

And I was halfway through a bottle of cheap wine, until I realized it was only John Baird's pussy who had passed.

But now ding dong she's really gone, and I'm making up for that bitter disappointment.

The Cons and the Shaming of the Poor




Every time Diane Finley tries to defend why she is waging war on the poor, she claims that it's just a question of saving money.

Just like she did today when Thomas Mulcair went after her for ordering EI inspectors to barge into the homes of the unemployed. 

“Service Canada has a responsibility to find and stop inappropriate claims and to protect the funds that Canadians have paid in the system,” Finley said. "Last year, the employment insurance program lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to inadmissible claims."

Even though what she's really doing is trying to shame the poor, like the Cons in Britain.

Diane Finley's Hideous War on the Poor



She has always been one of the most brutish Cons.

A hardline right-wing ideologue who would wage war on Canada's poorest and most vulnerable citizens.

And have the unmitigated gall to deny it.

Last month she claimed that EI inspectors didn't have quotas for uncovering fraud that they were expected to discover. 

Only to be exposed today as a shameless liar.
