So much for a transparent and accountable government, we have even less access to information under Harper than we did under Chretein and Martin. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/05/02/cairs.html?ref=rss&loomia_si=t0:a16:g2:r5:c0.0292333 It wasn't there to serve the government, it was...

After two term of the last conservative government Canada just about came apart. Many people see Mulroney as being more interested in US interests than Canadian and after his party disintigrated in 1993 many of its members went into the Bloq trying pull Quebec out of confederation or the Reform...

Once again our Prime Minister is showing just how unsuited he is to running a real democracy. The opposition has raised justified concerns over a very serious issue of the conservatives attempting to buy the vote of a terminally ill Chuck Cadman and Harpers response has been to use the courts to...

This came out a while ago and pretty much confirms what I've thought about Harper and his supporters from the start. Is there really room in a democracy for parties that want to do away with real political choice? This is one of the big reasons I support Dion, he's one of the few...

I'd like to *gasp* congratulate *choke* Steven Harper *retch* for his new position on the Afghanistan mission. I'm not a fan of him or his government, but he's starting to act as a real leader should on this issue. As far as I'm concerned there's not going to be a military solution to the...

I finally got around to watching Sicko by Michael Moore and it's a great picture. He's an antidote to all the lies and propaganda fomented by the business elite in America who don't want the population in general to realize how badly they're getting screwed. And for those who dispute this claim...

Like the US adminstration that it admires so much the Harper Conservatives have taken Canada down the road to totalitarianism and away from democracy. While they didn't rig the 2006 election, the Conservative justification for changing the government was complete fabrication. We have an even...

Unlike the fictional Pinocchio, ours has his chin grow by increments as he tells more lies. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2008/02/11/mulroney-schreiber.html According to a repsresentative of the company Mulroney was claiming to be lobbying for in exchange for the $300,000...

It's been well established that the Republican White House supports the use of physical and mental abuse against those it deems a threat, but some top Republicans also feel using some of the same coersive and abusive behaviour against the youth of America is acceptable...

I notice there's a new round of slick conservative ads attacking Stephane Dion. No opposition leader in Canadian history has faced such a concerted media blitz by the party in power and few oppositions have had to put up with such harsh partisanship as being carried out by the conservatives in...

Turns out Mulroney was full of **** when he claimed he barely knew Karlheinz Schreiber and that he never received any money from him. Mulroney did in fact receive $300,000 from the Airbus rep from the same account used to influence conservative insiders to buy Airbus craft for a large Air Canada...

The conservatives were caught once again busily chipping away at the rights and freedoms generations of Canadians have worked to bring us. This latest case involves the conservatives seeking to obtain personal information about online activites of Canadians without independent oversight or...

What's going on with the Republican party and all these supposedly straight laced and god fearing politicians getting caught in highly compromising situations? Mark Foley and his misbehaviour with Congressional pages, Bob Allen in Florida now Larry Craig of Idaho caught trying to solicit sex...

I'm listening on CBC radio how the conservatives are trying to undercut other parties by apppointing representatives in opposition MP ridings and encouraging people to go to them instead of their elected MPs. Nathan Cullen in Skeena-Bulkly Valley is fighting this right now. I'll say it again...

So where does the SPP summit leave us. Harper would have us believe it's all about trade, security and jellybeans???? The fact that water was downplayed says it all. It's the one resource that none of us can live without for more than a few days. Our industries use up tremendous amounts of it...

Looks like provocateurs were used by the the Quebec police to stir up troubles between the demonstrators and authorities at the SPP summit. Considering the nature of the summit it's probable the PMO was involved, Harper is a friggin Nazi...

A liberal has taken the central Calgary seat the conservatives have held for more than 35 years, it's also the former seat of King Ralph. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2007/06/13/alberta-byelection.html

For the leader of one of the weakest minorities in Canadian history Harper has been acting with an arrogance that makes even Pierre Trudeau look humble. One of his first moves as PM was to ignore the spirit of the democractic process and invite a high profile Liberal into his party with promises...

Are Bush and Cheney complete hypocrits. The current U.S. administration has no qualms about sending young men and women into combat, where thousands have died and tens of thousands have been seriously wounded. Because of IEDs, there are many with Traumatic Brain Injuries(over 7500) who will be...

Do the Conservatives deserve to use the title "New Government of Canada" as they have been? Have they really made a radical departure from traditional politics, or is this just more spin to make a weak minority government look more appealing than it really is?
