More Chretien Funnies

Harper on SM

Canadians didn't know.
The Harper has a kinky side.
As he showed
when he came out this summer
as a Leather Boy.

"When I'm prime minister I will not whip our cabinet,"Harper said.

Decision to hit same-sex unions fast could pay off for Harper

On The Dark Side



Power! Give Me Power!

Tommy Scares Them Still

Election delays Tommy Douglas miniseries

Long after he has passed on, Tommy scares the bejesus out of the political establishment still. The Ghost of Tommy could literally haunt this election campaign as the NDP focus on the privatization of Health Care and how the Liberals and Tories have no plan to stop it. Yep good old Tommy could swing votes to the NDP if the CBC showed this miniseries. Folks would remember when the Left was the New Idea,and that neo-con was just another way of saying Conservative or same old tired ideas. After all Tommy is our Greatest Canadian.

"The [Liberal] federal government's trouble is that they have a wishbone where they should have a backbone."




Tommy Douglas was the most influential politician never to be elected Prime Minister.


Blogging Dippers

Congrats to Robert over at My Bhlag for creating the new Blogging Dippers aggregate newsreader for NDP blogs. No longer just a blog listing site, it actually carries stories. The page looks nice and clean, just in time for the election.


Parental Controls

Adults only? Today’s parents are often shocked by the level of violence depicted in many of the video games...Watchdog group warns parents against offensive video games Uh huh, so who is buying these games for their kids and don't they read the boxes where it says MATURE, Gore and Violence......and do parents really need a watchdog group to tell them the following titles might just be adult, violent, full of blood and gore? Resident Evil 4, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, God of War, Narc, Killer 7, The Warriors, 50 Cent: Bulletproof,Crime Life: Gang Wars, Condemned: Criminal Origins, True Crime: New York City.

Hey We're Famous

Election bloggers waste no time dishing the dirt

This article sure spends alot of time focusing on how the blogosphere responed to Scott Feschuks blog at Liberal.ca With nary a word about the Conservative blog.....so I guess that tells you which of these two blogs should really be drawn, hung and quartered as the poll over at progressive bloggers asks. And it ain't Feschuks cause he at least is actually writing his blog, the Conservative blog is a rehashed press release prior to editing.

Ignatieff Ignites Controversy

Ignatieff endures heckling
Wins nomination

In the foyer outside the meeting, one protester donned a George W. Bush mask and waved a sign saying: "Bush-Ignatieff -- Partners in crime," in protest against Mr. Ignatieff's support for the war in Iraq. Another protester, Irene Oliinyk, complained that Mr. Ignatieff has argued torture was acceptable for detainees in Iraq. "Why would the Liberals parachute someone like that into the riding?" Yep you have to ask yourself that, and I am sure the Liberals are too considering that PM has distanced himself from Ignatieff, but then again what did anyone expect when the new Philosopher King of Empire was touted as the next best thing to replace PM.

Another Harper Gaffe

I love it. Who is running the Conservative media war room Bozo the clown? Global Television has two TVspots one about Harper failing to introduce his Quebec all star team and the other about the media having to chase a Tory candidate for an interview during the scrum. This is hilarious. Harper (doesn't) introduce Tory candidates

CBC Poll-It's Health Care Stupid.

The CBC /Environics poll shows that Health Care remains the top issue with Canadians this election, as it has been in previous elections. It also shows that 66% of Canadians feel SSM is a settled issue, and that the three main parties NDP, Liberals and Conservatives are neck and neck when it comes to honesty in government. However;
  • Almost three-quarters of Canadians asked said they don't expect politicians to keep their promises once they're in power.
  • 56 per cent expressed little or no confidence at all in federal political leaders.
  • 63 per cent said all the federal political parties are pretty much the same when it comes to honesty and integrity - yet 94 per cent said honesty and integrity in government are either somewhat or very important in determining how they plan to vote.
