Uh oh. I KNEW it was a mistake to make Dean Del Mastro, the Con point man on the robocall scandal.
One moment he was leading the charge, bellowing like a bull, claiming da Liberals did it, and that the Cons didn't do dirty stuff like that.
The next moment he was under investigation.
It seems like it took forever. But tonight bullied children in Ontario are finally a little bit safer.
And gay kids have the right to call themselves gay, and form Gay-Straight Alliances.
No matter what some Catholic School Boards have to say, or what grotesque homophobes like Charles McVety spew out of every orifice.
I'm not sure I agree with this kind of protest.
I'd prefer to see a million angry Canadians in the streets.
But anything is better than nothing.
To resist is a sacred duty.
And silence is not an option.
Oh no. Somebody please stop him. It looks as if Jean Charest has finally, as we say in Québec, perdu ses pédales, or lost his pedals.
He's so eager to discredit the students, so he can run against them in a snap election, he's accusing them of plotting to sabotage the Montreal Grand Prix. And now look what he's done.
As you probably know I'm not exactly a fan of Jason Kenney.
Ever since he said that gays should be free to marry, but only if they married someone of the opposite sex, I have had trouble taking him seriously eh?
And I don't think I could EVER trust a middle aged religious fanatic who is "saving himself" for marriage, but believes that WE are the ones who need saving from Satan...or the Liberals.
It was wet and miserable in Montreal today. But that didn't stop thousands of people from attending a rally to support the Quebec students.
Thousands of people clad in raincoats and carrying umbrellas gathered in Montreal's Jeanne-Mance park Saturday afternoon for what was billed as a family-friendly protest in support of Quebec's students and in opposition of Bill 78.
And not only were there more kids than usual, but there were also more older people.
In 1985 the late Quebec filmmaker Pierre Falardeau made a short movie called Le Temps des Bouffons (The Time of the Buffoons).
It showed members of the Montreal elite partying at the exclusive Beaver Club, dressed in colonial costumes.
And Falardeau used those scenes to make a biting, and deliciously vulgar comment, about the state of Quebec society.
I'm sad to see that so many GM workers are losing their jobs in Oshawa.
The Canadian Auto Workers union received official notice Friday that GM will begin shutting down its consolidated assembly line in the fourth quarter, which will wipe out 2,000 jobs, reducing the number of GM employees in Canada to about 8,000.
I feel sorry for their families, the latest victims of the Dutch Disease, and of the Con Master Plan to turn us into a low wage economy.
They don't call Jean Charest the Mad Emperor of Quebec for nothing eh?
For this is madness.
Four days of negotiations ended in an impasse on Thursday when Premier Jean Charest’s government refused to budge on its plan to increase tuition fees.
It was likely the last chance for an immediate resolution to the social crisis that has gripped the province for almost four months.
This is delusional.
Whew. I see Tom Mulcair managed to gallop into Alberta today, cast his eyes upon the darkness of the Oil Sands, and make his getaway without dropping the dreaded T word.
In his first-ever visit to the Alberta oilsands as NDP leader, Mulcair was about to substitute “tar” for “oil” when he hastily corrected himself.
“They’re bitumen sands because the chemicals are neither oil nor tar,” he said at a news conference hours after being taken on a tour of the mine and tailings pond reclamation process by Suncor Energy of its site in northern Alberta.
And without giving an inch.
