Are You Ready for a Spring Election?

I was almost late for work today, but I just couldn't stop staring at these pretty little lines from the latest EKOS poll. Especially the blue Con one going down like a hot air balloon with a hole Guergis... in its side.


Helena Guergis and her husband Rahim Jaffer are doing what Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals could not – shake up the electorate and provoke a Tory slide, according to a new poll. 


But I was surprised that more people didn't pick up on these ominous words:


“Obviously, highly speculative this week but if things worsen for the government over the coming week, speculation about a snap election will become almost as interesting as the prurient innuendos swirling about Jaffer and Guergis,” Mr. Graves says.


Because I believe we could be very well heading for a early summer election. Just like Chantal Herbert predicted.


The opposition parties and, in particular, the Liberals are adamant that they are not seeking a snap campaign. But the matter is increasingly out of their hands and into those of the Speaker and, eventually, the Prime Minister.
No one who watched Harper in action over the time of the 2008 parliamentary crisis doubts that he would be sorely tempted to take his latest conflict with the minority Parliament to the people rather than bow to the opposition and the Speaker's will.


Because believe me Harper does want to go, and sooner rather than later.


All the sordid  scandals swirling around the government can only get worse, and the economy is smelling like roses. But that could change when interest rates start to rise in June. The housing bubble could pop, and the stock market could  take a tumble.


So now is the time. The Liberals are still looking for a campaign plane. Jack Layton is battling cancer. Stephen Harper must be twitching foaming with anticipation. 


He could run on the economy, he could shutdown all the inquiries, he could dismiss the Afghan torture and murder scandal, like Peter McKay was doing today in Question Period.


“I just wish,”  (McKay) continued, the rest of his comments playing out rather predictably, “that for once we would get a question from the honourable member that would reflect an acknowledgement that the men and women of the Canadian Forces are continuing to do great work on behalf of our country, at great risk to themselves and their families. He should stop disparaging their name, their work, stop making allegations, insinuating that they are war criminals. That is despicable, detestable evidence.”


And since sadly so few Canadians care about Afghanistan, he just might get away with it.


Of course it all depends on that little blue line. Will other polls confirm the Cons are falling like a hot air balloon? Because if they do Great Ugly Leader probably won't dare take the plunge.


But you know what I'm saying eh? We better be ready.  


Because the monster is foaming, hungry and DESPERATE. An election call could come next week.


And we can't afford not to be ready...

Helena Guergis and the Blabbermouth

Ever since I heard that Helena Guergis had been banished to a musty corner in the House of Commons, I've been waiting to hear what she thinks of her new seatmate.

The independent MP and honking blabbermouth André Arthur. 

Well Helena isn't talking, because she's got bigger problems.


Helena Guergis, the former minister of state for the status of women, was expelled from caucus and is being investigated by RCMP over allegations of partying with cocaine and prostitutes, CTV News has learned.


But the blabbermouth is eh? And it's not good. 

If I was her advisor I would say...tell her...take a holiday. Go somewhere else you look pale. Go get tanned. It's finished. She's toast, stick a fork in her.

Golly. With advisors like that who needs enemies eh?

I thought she'd be glad to find a quiet corner, as far away as Stephen Harper as possible. Because when you make the Cons look like the party of  hookers and coke, you don't want to look into his cold dead eyes.


But now I'm not sure.

Helena... Helena...it's your new advisor Simon. When you return to Parliament bring a pair of dark glasses, and an i-pod with some really loud music.

Because I'm afraid you're going to need them...

How to Beat the Bullies

There are many ways to beat the bullies. You can report them to your teachers, or your supervisor.

Or the ones that love you the most...



And hope that they will hear you, and speak out like Colin Farrell recently did.


"I can't remember much about the years of physical and emotional abuse my brother Eamon suffered. I was very small. The thing i do remember though, quite literally, is blood on his school shirt when he came home in the afternoon...People are often afraid of difference. They feel that anything that causes fear, should be turned away from. My brother represented fear for so many people, but caused joy in my life.


Love unites, it brings us closer to an understanding of the possibility of beauty amidst all the confusion and pain that life can bring. Hate is a disease. It is fear's messenger and it makes us do terrible things in a shadow of our better selves, of what we could be.Bullying is torture, it is another betrayal of basic human decency and its scars reach way into the future of its survivors. But the saddest truth is that not all children survive it.


You can also fight them, like I did.  But why should you become violent like them? When today was Pink Shirt Day.


And that's a much better way to beat the bullies.


Especially since the idea came from Canada.


Speaking of my heroes...I'm going to have to include this police officer and his colleagues in the Victoria Police Department.

For looking so good in pink. And for taking bullying seriously, when so many don't.


Yup. They've changed a lot, and so have I.


But some things don't change. Bullies are bad.


And bullying must be STOPPED....

Chucky Harper and the Horror on the Hill

If you wanted to get a really good idea of what Great Chucky Leader's Cons have done to this country, all you had to do was take a helicopter... or a porker ride... over Parliament Hill today.

There was poor Remy Beauregard's widow telling a committee how the Con appointees who took over Rights and Democracy bullied her husband to death.

Trépanier said new board members appointed by the Conservatives harassed her husband, which contributed to his ill health. Beauregard suffered a fatal heart attack in January after an acrimonious board meeting.

While in another committee room there was Richard Colvin, the decent diplomat who was smeared as a traitor or a Taliban supporter by the Cons, for blowing the whistle on the Afghanistan Rape and Torture Scandal.

Even though we now know that what he said was true. And that the truth is even uglier.

A Canadian officer shrugged off a question about whether, in retrospect, Canadians should have monitored the interrogations to make sure prisoners weren't tortured.

“From the Afghan point of view, that would be like your mom sitting down with you on the couch while you're trying to make out with your girlfriend,” the officer said. “It would have been awkward.”

And will haunt our army FOREVER. Because now they've been corrupted too.

Then an hour after the Information Commissioner blasts the Cons for trying to muzzle access to information.

Stephen Harper's right-hand man, the political thug Guy Giorno, crawls out of the PMO, and denies that. While Con MPs line up to kiss his ass.

The power of Mr. Giorno was reflected in the lineup of Conservative MPs singing his “how great thou art” praises in Hallelujah Chorus union, throwing puffball questions that could have been written by Mr. Giorno himself and, come to think of it, probably were.

Has our Parliament ever seen a more porker spectacle?















Have they no shame? Oink.

But wait there's more. There they were in the House of Commons grunting and sniffling, and refusing to answer questions about the Helena Geurgis Affair.

Or explain why the Ethics Commissioner doesn't seem to think much of the information Stephen Harper gave her.

NDP Leader Jack Layton took a poke at the government’s wall of silence. “Now here is the so-called tough on crime Prime Minister who will not even tell Canadians why he has called the cops on one of his own,” he told the House of Commons.

Which makes you wonder what Great Chucky Leader is up to eh ?

Did he whack a female minister just to make himself look good? And is this a government or the MOB?

Oh boy. Sometimes all you see are the trees, and they're ugly enough.

But on a day like today you get to see the forest, and it's absolutely HORRIFYING.

These Con porkers are crawling all over our Parliament, making a mockery out of it, corrupting its very soul. Their government is rotting like meat off a bone.

And the stench is overwhelming...

The Gay Agenda is Finally Exposed

As you probably know the homophobic bigots of this world like to go on and on about the Gay Agenda.

You know... our plan to takeover The World.

So as you can imagine it's a closely guarded secret. For example, I get my marching orders from notes my controller sticks to the fridge instructing me not to forget to pick up milk and dog food. Or else...

And they're in French too ....to make sure nobody else can read them.

But despite all our precautions, the unthinkable has happened.

The Gay Agenda has finally been EXPOSED !!!!


But wait that can't be right.

The gym at 6:30 in the MORNING? The GAY agenda? Don't be ridiculous.

And besides the world is a much nastier and crazier place.

“Madieye Diallo's body had only been in the ground for a few hours when the mob descended on the weedy cemetery with shovels,” reports the AP. “They yanked out the corpse, spit on its torso, dragged it away and dumped it in front of the home of his elderly parents.

A man that's known as being a homosexual can't be buried in a cemetery. His body needs to be thrown away like trash,' says Sene. 'His parents knew that he was gay and they did nothing about it. So when he died we wanted to make sure he was punished.'”

So if you want to know what the gay agenda is really all about, all you have to is remember what they did to Madieye and his brothers.

Or remember what they're still doing to gay kids in our Canadian schools.

Or watch this movie, and find about more about how it all started...


Because forty years later it's still the same old agenda.

We want to be FREE.

Everywhere.

The bigots must be defeated.

And enough is ENOUGH...

Dimitri's List and the Christianist Bigots

Well I'm a bit late on this one...but I see that Dimitri Soudas has been appointed Con Minister of Propaganda and Disinformation.

And I can't think of a better Con for the job. First he makes a fool of Great Ugly Leader:

At the G8 leaders' summit in Italy last summer, Mr. Harper was forced to apologize for attacking Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff for something Mr. Ignatieff did not say. Mr. Harper had initially pounced on Mr. Ignatieff after Mr. Soudas gave him information that turned out to be incorrect.

But gets away with it because if you're a dumb hyper partisan Con, you can't blame the Liberals enough.

Then he appears on the Evan Solomon show late last week and makes a complete idiot out of HIMSELF.

By first saying this:

"Minister Geurgis as a Minister of State for the Status of Women is doing a good job."

One day before they whack banish her.

Then saying this...with a straight face:

"Accountability and transparency is something we take very seriously."

Muahahahaha.

And then wraps up his klown performance by blaming the Liberals, and earnestly insisting that Jaffy and his friends couldn't have pimped the PMO because:

Evian, Evian, The Prime Minister's office is PADLOCKED.

But of course he doesn't mention that it's definitely NOT padlocked for Christianist bigots who spend their time attacking gay and women's rights.

The Canada Family Action Coalition acknowledges it has held private meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and members of the current government six times since 2008.

The latest meeting with the PM took place March 11th.

Which just happens to be a few days before the Harper ReformCons announced they would not be funding abortions for poor women in developing countries.

And who can forget what the porker homophobe Charles McVety likes to brag about ?















That he can get Stephen Harper on the phone ANYTIME he wants. Belch.Oink.

And then of course, there's the way Dimitri treats the media:

Mr. Soudas, while serving under Sandra Buckler, the second director of communications Mr. Harper had after being elected prime minister, insisted that reporters who wished to ask Mr. Harper a question at a news conference in Ottawa or outside of the capital put their name on a list he controlled and from which he would select a questioner.

Like they were sheep... or stooges:

The Canadian Press is the only major organization that continues to refuse to put its reporters' names on a list in order to ask Mr. Harper a question.

And Lord Harper was a dictator.

Yup. Dimitri is the man for the job alright.

Just another yappy Con.

And his master's little voice...



But forget about the chihuahua eh? It'll do what it's told to do.

Just concentrate on the scarier question.

Who is REALLY running Canada...

The Homophobia Bus and the Gay Boy's Life

I just found out that a Christianist group has decided to pull this billboard off the sides of buses in Toronto.

A large, electric-blue banner featuring an oddly tattooed youth and the question: “Does God care if I'm gay?” has been voluntarily removed by the Christian group behind the campaign after a flood of public complaints

Which is just as well eh? Because one...I'd hate to have to walk to work in the rain. But I'd rather do that than ride on a homophobia bus, and besides my mum told me never to trust a guy with tattoos on his neck. Scary.

Two...I don't care what any imaginary Big Baboona has to say about me...

“Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.”

Because if anyone wrote that nonsense today they'd give them anti-depressants. And tell them NO they can't bring their goats into the house... or keep their wives in the barn.

Or cover up child abuse.

Which reminds me.... if I had my own bus. And I could put what I want on the side of it.

This would be my message...














Because the truth will set us free eh?

And if the bigots think their Big Baboona should worry about us instead of their churchy perverts, they're not just krazy, they're EVIL.

Because we choose life over death, love over hate.



















Because when you're gay, free and proud.

A gay boy's life is a wonderful thing.

And even in a frozen land.

Life is just a BLAST....



-----------------------------------------------------

P.S. Jonsi is an Icelandic artist who sings in English so his American boyfriend can understand what he says. Because when I say we are warriors of love, and so much better than the bigots, I really mean it.

Helena, Harper, the Cops, and the Village Idiot

It's too bad that Helena Guergis wasn't there when Stephen Harper fired her quit her.

Or disappeared her.

Because then it would have been like a Canadian Evita eh? With Helena singing "Don't cry for me Mr Mountie." And Harpie singing "The truth is I hardly knew her."

Instead of just stumbling out in front of the cameras....with more pancake makeup on than a drag queen.... mumbling I can't say nothing:

"I've referred the allegations to the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner and to the RCMP. Under the circumstances, I will not comment on them further said Harper."

And then running for cover.

Which had me thinking gosh, either this must be REALLY bad. Because it's not every day that a PM sics the cops on his own Minister.

Or Harper is a nasty misogynist bully because he kicked Helena out of the caucus. But didn't do that to Maxime Bernier for losing the secret documents, and playing naughty with the busty biker chick.

How unfair. Poor Helena. That'll teach her to work for a Christianist who makes a habit out of humiliating female ministers. But what's she going to do now?

Because when I think of her as Evita, I can't help thinking of this depressing song...



Oh boy. That was sooooooo sad. And even a little busty.

But hey, at least she doesn't have to sit next to Bev Oda anymore, or inhale Harper's farts, or pretend she's the Minister for the Status of Women. And she's still got the Big House and Jaffy the Party Animal. So I'm sure she'll be fine.

Which is more than I can say about Stephen Harper. Because now Canadians will start wondering how many things can he hide at the same time? Torture and murder in Afghanistan, the theocon conspiracy in the PMO, his plans to kill medicare, and now Helenagate?

And if this sordid scandal turns into a criminal case, could this mean Stephen Harper and Helena Guergis might soon be closer than ever before? Staring into each others cold hard eyes... across a crowded court room?

Oh I hope so. I LOVE stories with happy endings.

And this one has a bonus.

Rona Ambrose is BACK !!!!!!

















Golly. What more can we ask for eh?

Stephen Harper, Helena Guergis, the Party Animal, the Mounties AND the Village Idiot?

Woohoo !!!!!!!

Forget about that drippy tune.

I like this one better...



She could have been a CONTENDER. He could have had a MAJORITY.

Oh well. Easy come easy go.

Have a great weekend everybody !!!

The Cons, the Hookers, and the Mob

They're covering up torture and maybe even murder.

They're muzzling Parliament, and intimidating the opposition.

They're torching the planet for profit, and selling off the country to the highest bidder.

Their theocon hitmen are going after women and gays, and throwing bricks through the windows of human rights organizations like Rights and Democracy and KAIROS.

They're using our tax dollars to buy votes, by squirting pig manure in their own ridings.

Of the $69 million in federal funds, $52 million will be spent on 24 projects in Conservative ridings. Ridings held by federal New Democrats will see 11 projects in this series of announcements which will get federal funding of a combined $10.17 million. There were just 4 projects in Liberal ridings that will divvy up just over $1 million in federal funding.

They're stacking the Senate with porkers like Mike Duffy. They've got Helena Guergis terrorizing P.E.I. And a Minister from Tequila.

And now they've got cocaine and HOOKERS?

Buh buh buh buh BUSTY.

Is this a government or the MOB?

















Which I'm sure is what the auditor general is going to say when she gets a whiff of the Porky Action Plan.

Yup. First we laugh at them.

When considering a new GG, Harper looks at diplomats, generals and #bustyhookers

Then we defeat them.Then we arrest them. And if that doesn't work.

Then we destroy the Cons...



Or let Jaffer and Guergis do that for us. Because they're doing a SUPER job.

Muahahahahaha...

I LOVE this story....

Constance, Carolyn, and the Bigots

Yesterday I wrote about the sad story of Constance McMillen, the gay teenager who was cheated out of her prom by a group of cruel bigots.

And I wrote in the comments that it reminded me of the way white high school kids behaved in the redneck south during the days of segregation.

How I had seen videos of them standing outside schools and chanting "two, four, six, eight, we don't want to INTEGRATE." While their parents and school officials and bigot cops looked on admiringly.

Then today I read this story.

(Carolyn King) spent all Saturday getting ready, fixing her hair, slipping into the pink floral dress her mother finished the week before….She and her date drove that 1965 night with her father and a retinue of supporters and protectors toward the high school gym. They turned the corner. The gymnasium was dark, empty…..White mothers of the prom planners had kept the location of the Jones Valley High prom a secret so she couldn’t attend…."Of course they all taunted me about it -- `Did you like the prom, Caroline?’”

I guess some things in the Bible Belt never change eh?

The victims of their cruelty may be different. But not those who would hurt and humiliate the oppressed.

Because bullies are bullies. Bigots are bigots.

And boy are they DISGUSTING...
