Stephane Dion Actually Solves Historic Problem

If you’re working in the OLO these days (that’s Official Opposition Leader’s Office by the way), you’re probably wondering if Stephane Dion wouldn’t be better off just to retire and go back to his accademic research that he did prior to running for Jean Chretien in the late 90s. Bluster after blumbling bluster have […]

Liberal Party Activists Censoring YouTube Videos Critical of Stephane Dion

It appears that YouTube user “liberalvideo” has been filing Copyright Infringement Notifications against videos that are critical of Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion. Two popular YouTube videos, one critical of Dion’s refusal to renounce his French citizenship, and the other, critical of the Liberals misuse of confidential materials, have been yanked from YouTube’s database.

Problem Gambling: Another problem that Toronto doesn’t need

The Toronto Star:
Legalize all forms of gambling, including Internet wagering, and let the governments simply tax the proceeds.
It will mean far more money into the public purse, in the long run…
And far more money taken out to deal with the social problems that flow from large-scale gambling, as Alberta’s shameful experience with VLTs demonstrates:
A recent […]

The Right to Shoot You Dead: New Texas Gun Law

Criminals in Texas, you’ve been warned:

Cherniak-Dion Conference Call

So Dion held a conference call with a number of Liberal bloggers as selected by Jason Cherniak. Apparently, a list of those bloggers was posted by Cherniak then removed. Anyone happen to get a screen-cap of those names?
If so, I think Dion might soon find cause to regret this decision. Liberal bloggers […]

Politics for the Hearing Impaired/Telepathic

How is it that everyone knows what the Prime Minister is thinking?  How is it that even opposition party members, not even privy to internal Conservative communications and caucus meetings, know for certain that Mr. Harper is going to call an election?
I mean, the guy has said, “I don’t want a spring election” how many […]

Environment: Pulling a Gore-House on Harper

If that isn’t obtuse enough…
What I mean is, a few months ago, some enterprising reporters decided to see if Al Gore was a hypocrite in preaching global warming and the need for personal action.  They investigated his property and found out that it was a huge energy sucker - I believe the number was 20 […]

Being a Conservative - More Then Just Rooting for the Team

Joel, from ProadtobeCanadian, lowers the boom on those who call themselves Conservatives, and behave like Liberals. Kathy, from Relapsed Catholic, follows suit with,
“Getting elected” means nothing unless we change the culture.

McCain Supports Gay Marriage? Early April Fools!

The McCain campaign learned a valuable lesson yesterday about hotlinking and stealing templates.
[The McCain Campaign] used a well known template to create his Myspace page. The template was designed by Newsvine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson. Davidson gave the template code away to anyone who wanted to use it, but asked that he be given […]
