Conservatives weasel out of their arctic commitments, puts Canadian sovereignty at risk.

War drums are beating in the arctic, countries are committing resources to securing their claims - some of which clearly belong to Canada and what is the government's response? Tucking their tail between their legs and leaving.

Loblaws CEO : Farmers' Markets Will Kill People - E. Coli Edition

Remember on February 8 2012 when Galen Weston exclaimed that farmer's markets will kill people? Turns out that Weston's supermarket chain beat the farmers to the punch. On March 13 2012, Health Canada issued a health hazard alert for NO NAME, read Weston's brand, of beef burgers and steaketts. Farmer's markets may not kill people after all but E. Coli from Loblaws' products most certainly will.

Elections Canada has complaints from over 700 people, crickets chirp

Did anyone really think the flood of complaints that poured into Elections Canada were going to make a difference with regards to the 2011 federal election? 31000 complaints were made and only 700 are of a specific nature according to the venerable Elections Canada. Add to the fact that the identity of Pierre Poutine may remain anonymous for years, an electorate with the attention span of a hamster and you have a dead story.

Conservatives Refuse to Release Records, Call on Rivals to do the Opposite

Is it too much to ask that the Conservative Party of Canada be held to the same standard as other political parties? Is it too much to ask that the Conservative Party of Canada be held to the same standard they hold their rival parties to? For the Conservative Party the answer is clearly yes, it is too much to ask. The Conservatives are refusing to release their phone records related to telemarketing during the last election while demanding that the Liberals do the opposite.  Ridiculous.

Conservatives Still Tops and the Rest Lag Behind

Seriously what is it going take? Canada has once again given the Conservatives a pass despite all of the current scandals wracking this government. Nanos conducted the poll between February 25th and 29th.

Robogate Weekly Recap: Pat Martin sued And Other Tales of Woe

What a week! Robogate is really coming into its own as the most persistent and egregious conservative scandal yet. Here is what happened this week in brief.

Friday March 2nd: 


Racknine CEO Matt Meier sued Pat Marin and the NDP for 5 million dollars. Why? "Martin's words were defamatory, and, in the very least, carried the innuendo that Meier and/or RackNine had committed criminal activity, fraudulent activity, participated in a conspiracy, intimidation, sabotage and/or deceit," the claim says. Of course Racknine's guilt is beyond dispute in this whole scandal and no one denies it. Guess what Rackinne? You guys aren't Elections Canada, even though you pretended to be on election day. Pat Martin has certainly stood out through this whole affair calling out the Conservatives and their Racknine surrogates.


Conservative MPs employed US telemarketing firms during the election. Contrary to another one of Stephen Harper's lies: “We’ve done some checking we’ve only found that it was the Liberal Party that did source its phone calls from the United States.”


Former Liberal MP Boris Wrzesnewskyj expects a ruling regarding his claim that he lost in his riding of Etobicoke Centre by 26 votes due to election irregularities. Note: this riding has his by Conservative/racknine robocalls


Elections Canada confirms that it is investigating fraudulent robocalls and has received over 30000 complaints. Documents show that the investigation started soon after the May 2011 federal election.
