This letter has been making its rounds across the country this week: Thanks for nothing, Stephen Harper Do we thank God that today’s H1N1 flu is apparently not as deadly as the First World War pandemic? As it stands, Canada is entering the height of its spread, unprotected. Consequently, millions of Canadians will miss six to 10 days of school or work, adding insult to an already injured economy....

He comes off as wooden and manipulating as his reputation but his office continues sending out staged photos of Canada’s Prime Minister in the hopes the feel-good pics will be picked up by newspapers and even blogs. The Globe and Mail has a few of them with comment, but the one the sticks indelibly in the [...]

Whether Conservatives or Liberals like it or not, New Democrat, Peter Stoffer was ELECTED by thousands of Canadian citizens to represent them in the House of Commons! Senator Mike Duffy was SELECTED by only one person, Stephen Harper, to sit in the fat cat club known as the Senate of Canada. Both the Conservatives and the Liberals have used this historic unelected institution to ply patronage and to...

'Round Ottawa Michael Ignatieff — starving artist. Now do you like him? A great moment of laugh-out-loud nonsense comes courtesy of Liberal MP Pablo Rodriguez in the National Post : “For 18 years, the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada … lived the life of an artist, with all the financial insecurity that comes with it.” Oh, for the love of... Are we to believe the last...

I can understand why Stephen Harper drives "progressives" nuts with rage ... it's the bloody hypocrisy. I have no doubt that Harper & Co. are fully aware that the science that underpins the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming is badly flawed, and each month that passes finds more holes being drilled in the foundations of the IPCC's case. Just this week, for instance, 160 physicists...

Into the wayback machine, Sherman, to re-appreciate some Bush era sleazitude (emphasis nad-whompingly added): Internal Justice Dept. Report Cites Illegal Hiring Practices For nearly two years, a young political aide sought to cultivate a "farm system" for Republicans at the Justice Department, hiring scores of prosecutors and immigration judges who espoused conservative priorities and Christian...

I have made this argument before but, clearly, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's advisors and the Bureaucrats leading the anti-Bridge Company charge do not want the PM to read my remarks. They would prefer that the PM live in Delusionville as they keep insulting the US Government. Oh I know that Canada, and their P3 friends, are so graciously prepared to take over the border crossing problems to make...

Like many Presidents before him, President Obama planted a commemorative tree on the White House Grounds today. The 25’ Littleleaf Linden replaces an Oak planted by President Harrison in 1889. So, if we had a similar tradition here in Canada and Stephen Harper was a tree… what kind would he be? [...]

In fairness, I very much doubt that Harper intended to steal the Prince's thunder -- my guess is a speech writer took the Prince's (great) quote and didn't realize the Prince was going to use it himself. And nobody did a joint review of both speeches (that's sloppy). So the "boner" is accidental... DiManno: As royals arrive, PM lacks tact, Jean is too tactile Stephen Harper uses Prince Charles's...
