– no answers of course, but at least some the questions are getting better.

Questions From The House
Belay That Promise, We’re In Power Now
Stephen Harper before the election: Canadian Cabinet Ministers and their staff will be covered by Canada’s access to information law… we’re all about accountability dammit
Stephen Harper after the election: Good luck on that one buddy, well see ya in court.
If You Redefine It As Something It Ain’t –
– you can make the numbers say anything you want….. can the first “hate crime” trial for criticizing Israeli policy be far behind?
Unborn Victims of Crime Act
The following is the text of Ms. Nicole Demers (Laval, BQ) statement in the House yesterday regarding her opinion of the Unborn Victims of Crime Act, and the demonstrations that were taking place as she made it…. plus (of course) my opinion.
Dear Liberal Party of Canada
Subtitled: My apparent “links” to organized crime
I could care f*cking less if Bernier’s ex-girlfriend knew a guy who knew a guy who was in a bike gang - you’re starting to sound like Americans. If you have nothing better for Question Period please contact me for assistance, I’ll give you some real questions that the government can provide partisan non-answers to.
Updated: Who knew I was so well connected?
Conservative Math
With those sorts of skillz OMMAG probably shouldn’t be looking for a colour commentator job with the CFL, and I certainly wouldn’t want him mucking about with national economics, but CPoC Election Finance HQ might want him.
The War On Smoke
When will they figure out that this sort of thing is not the answer?
Election On The Horizon - Send Money
Got my regular monthly propaganda email-out from the Liberal Party today, there’s apparently “an election on the horizon“….. I have no doubt that there is an election on the horizon, I’m just not sure how far away the horizon is in the House of Commons these days.
Further Misrepresenting The Already Misrepresented
For reasons that make no logical sense at all the Guardian has chosen to title an article about shark attacks “Surge in fatal shark attacks blamed on global warming”, but if you read the article itself the only reference to global warming (a phrase which I am coming to loath btw) it says “Another contributory factor to the location of shark attacks could be global warming and rising sea temperatures” — somewhat different from what the title indicates ‘eh?
Open Trackbacks & Comments Sunday
The “How Deep Is That Hole Anyway?” Edition
Send a trackback, leave a comment, and ponder the creative election financing methods used by the Conservative Party of Canada to help gain power, as outlined here, here, and here, by northwestern_lad at Peterborough Politics.
About That Transparency & Accountability Thing
The federal Conservatives have quietly killed a giant information registry that was used by lawyers, academics, journalists and ordinary citizens to hold government accountable.
Big Winds Come From Empty Caves
Liberals are vowing to amend the government’s film tax credit legislation at the risk of triggering a federal election, insisting they will not let bureaucrats decide what Canadians can watch.
Maybe If They Tried Honesty?
Politicians just can’t get any respect, according to an Angus Reid Strategies survey of how Canadians feel about various professions. […..] The poll revealed only 25 per cent of Canadians respect politicians, a sharp drop from 61 per cent in 1994.
Can We Get An Answer In The House?
From the April 30th online Hansard a question asked by Mr. David Christopherson (Hamilton Centre, NDP) regarding Harpers increasing control freakishness, to which, in true Canadian Parliamentary tradition, no answer is given.
Disband Them !!
Just saw on Mike Duffy Live that the Conservative minority government will vote against a motion that expresses “full and complete confidence in Elections Canada“…. does that mean 6 more weeks of stupidity in the House?
Update: And the vote is 152 for 117 against in a whipped vote.
