You can have your dorky Captain Kirk vs Captain Picard arguments. Canada’s own Cmdr Hadfield is the real thing… Cmdr Hadfield’s version of Bowie’s “Space Oddity” was made in part by Bowie’s former Canadian bandmate. (via @GinaPhillipsSNN) More here.

Christy Clark makes a habit of running red lights with her son in the car: And with that the car has already sailed underneath the stale red stoplight and through the empty intersection. “You always do that,” says Hamish. What an excellent example for her kid… And the media, when not totally ignoring the facts, [...]

In a blatant attempt to buy an election with our own money, BC’s tied-for-worst premier* is pledging to extort more tax dollars from us for schools: As a new poll indicates B.C.’s premier is on very shaky ground with voters only a week before the election season officially launches, Christy Clark is pledging nearly $600 [...]

While the Liberal-supporting #MediaParty members try to make out there’s some controversy regarding the Auditor General’s report on this massive Liberal scam, others are reporting the blatant and distasteful facts: Taxpayers have been robbed… In total, over the last three years, more than $50 million has been clawed out of public-sector operating budgets to pay [...]

BC officially dumps the HST to revert to the old GST/PST system on April 1, 2013 thanks to stupid people who, out of anger for the BC Liberal lies (understandable), opted to punish everyone with the anti-HST referendum vote instead of punishing just the lying Libs at election time. Working part-time in retail, I get [...]

McGuinty’s “Green” Energy… It’s all about the money: A subsidiary of an American energy company has chain-sawed a bald eagle nest to make way for a wind turbine with the blessing of Ontario bureaucrats.

Theresa Spence isn’t talking. The Attawapiskat First Nation chief is fasting and she can’t talk when she’s fasting, according to her spokesman Danny Metatawabin. Why not, I wondered? It’s not as if her mouth is full. More: “There is no evidence of due diligence in the use of public funds, including the use of funds [...]

If you buy eggs in BC, you are literally paying for the BC Egg Marketing Board’s propaganda: The British Columbia Egg Marketing Board, speaking for the province’s egg farmers who control it, routinely laments the growing tendency of consumers to save a buck or so a dozen by buying eggs in the U.S. Yet B.C.’s [...]

In case you haven’t been following closely, the CBC tries unsuccessfully to shame Canada’s military over a two-year-old video made when Bin Laden was still alive. And they made their attack just days before Remembrance Day… Defund the CBC.

Further to this post here… The CBC adds the opinion of one of their own taxpayer-funded “comedians”: “When you are in the workplace — and especially if it is the military — it’s like you’ve got to have some kind of sensitivity to the current world that we live in,” said Majumder. Oh-oh, I smell [...]

The porn queens* at the Mother Corp are shocked, shocked I tell you! The real story is in the comments: I don’t get it.

Canadian Media Party pablum for the anti-Harper left

Dean has the latest on Canada’s “professional” journalists: Notice the CP headline “Harper ships armor-clad cars to India for 6-day trip” which is patently false as Harper has no say about his security. The Globe ran the same headline but has now changed it to “RCMP shipped armour-clad…” Smith and Chase both know full-well that [...]

This article attracts such comments from these types: There is no room for dissenting commentary in the leftwing echo chamber! Round them up now and throw them in jail, or better yet, off to the re-education camps! Additional note: Apparently the violent fantasy is the genius of an Ottawa comedian, so that was probably a [...]

Our PM sets an example: Harper, who makes $157,731 as an MP plus his $157,731 prime ministerial stipend, will now receive three per cent of his prime ministerial salary per year of service.If he serves until after the next election, in 2015, he’ll get about $47,000 a year in pension, $57,000 less than he would [...]

Actually, they say they want the retailers to change their trademarks to accommodate French or else pay hefty fines. I would love to see the retailers pull out in one gigantic sucking sound… Some of the world’s largest retailers are fighting for the right to keep their identity intact after Quebec’s French-language watchdog demanded they [...]
