Oh fuck these clowns. More pandering to gun owners. Fuck off. Nobody cares about your stupid "Swiss Arms rifles". All announced at a shooting range.
The Europeans are upset about the Stephen Harper Airlines free flight to Europe as well. Turns out bureaucrats accepting an unnecessary $300,000 flight has ruffled some feathers. And they've pointed out that the whole thing was unnecessary and the excuses are probably bogus.
Joe Oliver thinks changes to EI premiums will create 25,000 jobs. The PBO thinks it will cost 9,000 jobs. Hmmmm...that's a bit of a spread.
Another Harper law will be challenged in court. A group is suing to overturn the new election laws. As well, they won't provide information on how much it cost to make changes.
Patrick Brazeau has more problems. He has been arrested again.
Evidence for Democracy has released a report detailing the muzzling of Canadian scientists. Basically, it's way, way harder for Canadian government scientists to present their research and speak out than it is for US government scientists.
The Cons new regulations on TFW's have no teeth. Remember the Victoria area McDonald's caught abusing the program? They were denied more TFW's twice...then phoned and complained and had the decision reversed and the TFW's fast tracked. As well, a cafeteria on a reserve that suffers from high unemployment has brought in temporary foreign workers.
Let's just ignore your thoughts on the Harper Government response to global warming. Not enough regulation? Weak targets? Needs to go further? Irrelevant. As this story details, the Environmental Commissioner thinks we aren't even on a path to reach our insanely low goals. And even worse, the actual regulations are a secret! And the reductions we have made have come primarily due to Provincial programs, not Federal. Jeffrey Simpson is onto it as well.
An organization involved with treating addiction has come out in favour of legalizing marijuana.
Wow. American TV networks are suggesting that if their business model isn't propped up by forcing their channels on people that don't want them, they're going to lose money and have to pull out of Canada. I guess I see their point. I mean, who wants to be forced to keep customers by offering them something they want for the money they're giving you? And I would also be upset if people no longer wanted to give me money for something that they didn't want in the first place.
This is really interesting. The Cons want to be able to freely use copyrighted news in political ads.
Great news. There's not only a 1 percent for money...there's a 1 percent for booze consumption. People wonder why macrobreweries still exist. It's to service those guys.
Two cops responded to a noise complaint, entered a house illegally, beat a bunch of people up and kept their jobs. The people they beat up won their court case...but the City won't pick up their $66,000 in legal costs.
Well of course we're not going to support the Hong Kong protestors! That would take balls.
This is sad. The pot smoking mountie has been found dead. Just a really sad, tragic story.
I'm going to be super fucking pissed if refusing to support a plan to bomb ISIS with six fucking airplanes results in 4 more years of the Cons. Super pissed. Here's my bold prediction: As the Cons receive a boost in support for their bombing the shit out of terrorists, an election is called.
