Book Review: Brocabulary Coming in October
2008-09-08 00:46:00 Hey all… When I saw the cover of Brocabulary: The New Man-i-festo of Dude Talk, I was intrigued. When I see the term “bro,” I now think of two different things. The first is fraternities, of which I was never involved with in college. The second is the character Dean from the G4 TV show Code ...
Is Canadian Culture Important? Harper Says NO
2008-08-16 18:37:00 Apparently our PM Stephen Harper, who likely enjoys paint by numbers and took lessons as a child to learn how to play the radio, doesn't recognize the economic and other benefits of investing in the arts.I'll tell you what's wrong with cutting funding for Arts and Culture.According to a 2001-02 Statistics Canada report, with an investment of $6.8 billion from three levels of government, the arts and culture sector directly employed 740,000 people and generated $26 billion for the economy.The arts and culture sector employs as many people as the combined sectors of agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, oil, gas and utilities.Green Party: Harper's disrespectful attitude towards cultural expression will damage Canada's reputation "Slashing funds for cultural activities, both domestic and abroad, is damaging to the fabric of our country and further jeopardizes Canada's international reputation," said Ms. May. "This move appears to be more about extending the government's long t...

Stephen Harper goes too far with his pro-Israel stance
2008-05-12 22:56:00 In a recent speech to mark the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel, Canadian PM Stephen Harper suggested that hatred for the state of Israel is tantamount to hatred for the Jewish people:"Unfortunately, Israel at 60 remains a country under threat - threatened by those groups and regimes who deny to this day its right to exist ... And why? Make no mistake, look beyond the thinly veiled rationalizations: Because they hate Israel, just as they hate the Jewish people."To characterize Israel as a "Jewish state" without any qualification, raises questions about Harper's Zionist sympathies and evangelical affiliations. Israel is not in fact an exclusively "Jewish state", unless you consider non-Jewish Israelis to be widgets rather than citizens. The Jewish population of Israel is around the 76% mark. There are also 16.3% Muslim Israelis, 2.1% Christian, 1.7% Druze.Furthermore, when speaking of Israeli Jews, it is important to note that not all of the 76% represent religious or even Z...

Stephen Harper: hides behind the law on Cadman allegations
2008-03-17 17:11:00 The lawsuit Harper has filed against the Liberals is just another example of conservatives attempting to use the law to shut down legitimate comment. It's the fascist reflex, which is ironical when you consider how upset they get if a Human Rights Tribunal has the nerve to put the clamps on what they regard as their freedom of speech.The Liberal finger pointing over what Harper allegedly knew about the Chuck Cadman deal, is low key when you consider what Harper has himself aimed at opponents.Think back a bit to the years when magazines like the Western Standard were targeting the Liberals during the adscam affair. The mud slinging and accusations flew thick and fast with Western Standard's Ezra Levant leading the charge. The magazine played up a mafia caricature, and referred to the Liberals as "the Libranos". The accusations being hurled were extremely personal and damaging. It makes the Liberal finger pointing in the Cadman affair seem almost polite. The Tories didn't pull thei...

Cadman and Harper
2008-03-12 14:33:00 Hello all,Here we are in political turmoil aren't we.Harper is suing the Liberals and Dion. Opposition is accusing the Conservatives of offering money to sway someone's vote in the House.Well lets see.What do you believe? I think you had two guys in the conservatives that really wanted to make a change for the conservatives and therefore offered a dying man some money for his vote. he refused. Do you think Harper knew anything about it - probably not. Why? Beause he's busy running the government, the country, etc. He is not responsible for running the conservative party, their are dozens of other serfs to do that.It also makes sense to make that offer of money, because Cadman had terminal cancer no insurance company in the world would have insured him.Is Harper in his right to sue Dion and the Liberals for their comments on their website and to the media outside the House of Commons. I do beleve the liberals comments are slanderous, they occurred outside th House and therefore H...

Stephen Harper : the Prime Minister who knows nothing
2008-03-07 09:44:00 Does Stephen Harper live in another dimension? This is not altogether a joking question, because we have a leader in Canada who seems to know next-to-nothing about what goes on in his inner circle.How can you be a leader and yet be so quixotically detached that you don't know your people are making decisions that could effectively damage the credibility of the government and perhaps even precipitate a crisis?Harper, the personification of the three monkeys, never says anything, hears anything or sees anything that might provide a clue to some of the murky goings on in his government. His sense of smell is off too. The stink has been making people across Canada reach for their aerosol cans.Despite audio tape evidence and the word of Chuck Cadman's wife and daughter, that suggests the late MP was bribed by the Tories prior to a Parliamentary vote in 2005, Harper claims he knew nothing about it. He even told Tom Zytaruk on tape that he "didn't know the details". This is a leader who...
