I'm reminded of Dumb & Dumber right now. "Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this...and totally redeem yourself!" The Senate votes to send the union finances bill back to the House of Commons.
If you constantly have to spend a lot of money telling everybody how great you are, how great everything is and how great of a job you are doing...chances are it might not be so.
Is it common for elected officials to issue politicized talking points to bureaucrats? About another bureaucrat? Man. What a bunch of assholes. The Conservative encouraged diplomats and bureaucrats to talk shit about the Auditor Generals report on fighter jet procurement. What a bunch of stupid assholes.
Too bad. I had hoped Vic Toews leaving politics would have been the result of pitchfork wielding farmers. Not retirement.
A new report on drug use in Vancouver suggests some not-all-that-surprising conclusions: One, Vancouver's "harm reduction" strategy seems to be resulting in more treatment and less jail time. Two, federal drug supply strategies (i.e. the "war on drugs") seems to be having little to no impact on drug pricing or availability.
The Conservatives are seeking a shitpile of money from the Council of Canadians to pay for the robocalls trial. Didn't they basically lose this trial, but it was found there was no proof that the election outcome was affected?
What a pandering asshole...can't have a gun lover angry at the Prime Minister. How is this deserve comment from the PM? The RCMP in High River picked up some unsecured, out-in-plain-view guns when they were searching houses for flood victims and this is some sort of tragedy for the PM and his gun lobby buddies.
This Tyee article blames Calgary flooding on climate change and hopes that the oil industry will see the error of their ways.
Quebec seems to have lost their court case to try to hold on to Quebec long gun registry data.
Convenient. The trial of a former Harper aide has been delayed due to health concerns.
An interesting Slate article linking up statistics and studies into gun violence. In the US.
