Wow. The Harper Government has finally "agreed" to stop supporting asbestos mining. The awesome thing is that they are actually "blaming" the PQ Government for this decision, as they (the PQ) took the lead on made up their own minds. I can't even come up with an equivalent to illustrate how insanely ludicrous this is. Here goes though. Say you have a big family. You're the father. And one of your 10 children is a crack addict. For years and years you support your crack addicted son. You give him money for crack. You threaten to beat anybody up that complains about his crack use. You yell at the police when they show up to bust him and claim that "crack isn't harmful" and all that stuff. You get angry at all of your neighbours and other children when they try to help your son to stop smoking crack. You're the ultimate crack enabler. And then, your son finally comes to his senses, checks in to re-hab and decides that he'll never smoke crack again. And you begrudgingly write your neighbours, children and local police an e-mail telling them that you've finally caved in to their ludicrous no-crack policies. But it's all your sons fault. You'd happily roll along buying him crack if he would just stop being so selfish.
Jason Kenney announces the stripping of citizenship of thousands of people. Which sounds impressive. It must have been the Liberals fault that they made it in the first place.
You read Matt Taibbi and it's just like "What's the point?" He digs out stories that you couldn't even imagine being real and he writes about them in a through and captivating way. And they're all just so depressing...Anyhow. Here's another one about banks manipulation of bonds, interest rates, etc. Depressing. Straight up bid rigging.
Stephen Harper wins something! World Statesman of the Year. Gawsh. That's fancy!
Grrr....Stupid experts getting in the way of reasonable policy! Here, some schmuck claims to know more than our beloved leader about what is going on in Iran. So what if this guy used to be our "Ambassador" to Iran. What does that even mean? He should just stick to...whatever it is he does while he's "Ambassadoring". Not lecturing our beloved leader on how to deal with Iran. And another one.
I love how all of the political science majors posting in the comments section of this story (Ahmadinajad blames the west for destroying rain clouds) use this as justification for yanking diplomats from Iran. And the suggestion that if you think the diplomats should stay, obviously you support Iran. Oh. Wait. Here's a Globe and Mail columnist making the same argument.
Experts again! Who is this guy? President of some polling company? Well of course he has a vested interest in...something and should be banned from providing evidence in the robo-calls case.
Speaking of voter suppression. There was a study done during the last Presidential election. A Facebook Banner and reward widgets was enough to make a significant bump in polling numbers. Which is kind of awesome. And incredibly sad.
Vic Toews sez (not a real quotation): "It's not my fault that Omar Khadr hasn't come back to Canada. It's the US." Because nothing is ever his fault. Doesn't this guy have another job or something?
Is it me, or does it seem kind of crazy that the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs have the most expensive ticket prices OF ANY PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA! Not just hockey. Every sport! How's it feel to pay for failing hockey franchises in the Southern States, everybody?
Another fantastic story on the moral superiority of Americans. We have Waste Management actively lobbying against composting laws. Awesome.
And Intelligent too! 47 Percent of Ohio Republicans are "not sure" if Mitt Romney is more responsible for the death of Osama Bin Laden than Obama. I for one am glad this country runs the world.
I don't even know. Some House of Commons clerks don't want to release F-35 documents.
