Mayor Miller is a Friggin Genius

Even in the depths of a bitter summer garbage strike in Toronto, our not beloved at all mayor David Miller has been able to give us an inadvertent gem.

SOS – RCMP

According to Wikipedia, to paraphrase, an SOS signal has been a universally recognized distress signal since at least 1905. While Morse code is slightly out of fashion these days, “SOS is still recognized as a visual distress signal.” The RCMP brass need to review this definition for a couple of reasons.

A Prayer for the Weary

Dear Lord God of Heaven and Earth, please grant us weary bloggers solace from these two guys.

Coalition or “Coalition”, That is the Question

There will be a coalition government in Canada but it won’t be the one we were thinking of…

An Election, Please

The last week’s events on Parliament Hill demonstrate how cheap and childish our politicians can be and how utterly absurd many aspects of our democracy are, or are about to be. Let me be the first here at Stageleft to suggest that the only sane course forward is for the Governor General to dissolve the House and insist on an election.

Get your Free Speech Antidote…

Did you know, for example, that even a political finance shell scheme that some might consider fraud is actually an issue of free speech in Canada?  That bit of hack spin sounds like it came from the Conrad Black school of accounting.   Got scandal?  Insert “free speech”.

A Bigger Issue at Stake

In a previous post on the Warman affair, I took a simplistic, perhaps vindictive, approach to the libel suit that now faces Kate, Kathy and Ezra Levant.

Free Speech Yawn of the Year

I support free speech. With that speech comes the responsibility not to slander or libel someone unless I can prove the accusation. If that fails then I better be able to back up what I said or wrote with my wallet. That is why this whole episode really makes me yawn. [...]

Galileo or Arrogance Epitomized?

It takes some pretty big stones (and ego) to stand up and say that “they’re wrong, I’m right” without anything to back up the assertion.

Silliest Motion Ever.

Has there ever been a more pointless, childish or ridiculous motion introduced the House of Commons? Help me, I don’t know for sure. Can anyone come up with one worse than this?

A motion condemning the other opposition parties for voting Paul Martin’s government out of office is the best that Dion and his advisers can […]

Honesty in Blogging

It’s not often that we come across a brutally honest post in the blogosphere.

Astounding Stupidity

I have to admit to thinking that my colleague Balbulican has been a bit harsh of late with his new phrase “moronosphere”. Boy was I wrong.

The Sound of Bunk Science

They keep trying, you have to hand it to them, those dastardly deniers. Their sycophants just eat it up too. This is one of the best lists of TV Weathermen, pseudo scientists, energy company money beneficiaries and others just plain misquoted. It’s not surprising considering the author of the report. He’s [...]

Ironic Economics

Time for all of us to brush up on Tai Chi, perhaps?
