Tuesday
September 9, 2008
by: Eugene Parks

Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Scandalpedia Conservative Scandals
This web site has an interesting list of the scandals engineered by the Harper Conservative government. Some serious and some down right illegal. Yet this was the government determined "it said" to provide accountable and clean government.

Canada: Peace Maker and Paramedic
Tuesday
September 9, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: Not even in World War I was Canada to give over its control over its own forces and submit to the policies of other nations, yet the Harper government has essentially made the Canadian Armed Forces part of the US National Guard. Canada does not have any business protecting a drug economy Afghanistan or defending a US pipeline yet that is what we have had nearly one hundred Canadians die for.

Tuesday
September 2, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin

Election? You bet!
Wednesday
August 27, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The Prime Minister has been sounding the warning steadily since the middle of last week that he is going to call an election this fall. The facts of the matter are dead simple, he has identified himself and his country so closely to the United States their politics is now overshadowing all Canadian issues which really are no longer Canadian issues and the writing is on the wall, if you wait until after Obama is elected it is oblivion for Harper and company.
