Election Update #11 - Sept 18-28

People think that this eternal election campaign was some devious scheme by Stephen Harper to spend more money than his opponents.  But no.  They're wrong.  It was a devious scheme by Stephen Harper to bore the shit out of us so that we forget to vote.  I'm soooooooooooo bored of all this crap.  Maybe the debate tonight will change my mind?

I doubt it.

The Cons announced a massive donation to fight cancer...if they win the election...and implied support from the Terry Fox Foundation.  Once again, not Steve's fault.  He blames the Terry Fox Foundation for getting things wrong.

Diane Watts doesn't necessarily agree with the language contained in her own advertising, potentially.  Okay?

Jesus.  These guys need to just give the fuck up on their niqab ban.  How many millions are we spending pursuing this just so the Cons can appear anti-Muslim to voters?  And if the citizenship ceremony is so sacred...why are they doing things like this?

An NDP campaign sign has been defaced with...ummm...some pretty vulgar anti-muslim bullshit.  Congrats, Steve.

How did Joe Oliver get his job?  We're all wrong.  There's been no recession.

Canada now a net exporter of terrible environmental performance.  Barrick Gold just poisoned the shit out of a South American river.

Ottawa area Conservative candidates are not participating in debates.  Which is fine.  I mean, we don't really need to hear them say horrible things in public, do we?

The drug company that makes one drug and has pulled in $6 Billion in profits for it is suing the Canadian Government over their attempts to lower the price.

Some handy little ties between the Cons and KPMG, even during their tax fraud probe.

So Trudeau wants nothing do do with the F-35.  It's a shitshow over at Canada Politics.  So many defense experts!

There seems to be some documentation showing that Exxon knew about the causes of global warming back in the 70's.  Didn't we all though?
