I think there is a huge lesson for all liberal bloggers to be learnt from Lieberman’s overdue debacle: WE NEED TO GET ORGANIZED! Yes, Liblogs/Progressive bloggers are both great initiatives but clearly not enough if we really want to make a difference in politics. In order to do that we must be able to: 1) put pressure on our own Liberal/progressive candidates to stay the course and not turn

Taking again a page from the neo-con playbook of lies and deceptions, Harper-the-Crook does what he knows best: pretend publicly to do one thing while secretly doing exactly the opposite. The Star reports: "The Harper government is poised to cancel federal funding for Canadian international academic programs, including Canadian participation in the Fulbright program, one of the most prestigious

Harper continues unabated his assault on truth and decency! Does Canada really have to hit the bottom like US did with Bush to understand that Harper is a crook?"Canadian teachers developing internet resource materials about climate change have been left in limbo since the Harper government quietly shut down the main government website on global warming, www.climatechange.gc.ca on June 30.

Linda McQuaig (Toronto Star) nails nicely Harper's PR stunt in Cyprus : "Not since George W. Bush appeared on a U.S. warship declaring "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq has there been a more transparent — and ridiculous — attempt by a political leader to portray himself as a heroic defender of his people."

The Star reports today that Harper is the only G8 leader to support again Bush's failed policy in the Middle-East. What the heck is this guy doing? Harper is throwing Canada into a very dangerous situation with no parliamentary debate, with no public consultation, nothing, only because he, like Bush, is a ne-con fanatic (no brain, only ideology).What's next? Sending Canadian troops to Iraq to

It appears now that Emerson was thinking about switching sides while campaigning as a Liberal. Is there any legal loophole that can be used for suing him for something like breach of contract or anything similar?

What direction should the Liberal party follow given the present conservative siege and public apathy to its social, environmental, and foreign policy agenda? Toronto Star suggested last week a few answers, but my guess is that there is nothing wrong with the substance of the Liberal agenda. It just needs a different packaging, a new generous idea that will re-define the public

Everyone speaks about Emerson, Fortier and O'Connor (the lobbyst), but there is one more dubious character in the the Tory government: Vic Toews, the new justice minister who pleaded guilty last year to breaking provincial election laws. Isn't that nice? A law-breaker appointed as justice minister? Where is the press when you need it?

I don't get it. It is only my impression or the Liberal reaction to Harper's move yesterday was pretty mild? They produced a brief statement , which looked rather pathethic and was hardly mentioned by the press today. What is going on? Why are they so shy? You may want to check this as well.

Harper's aids deny now he had an asthma attack. They claim now he took prescribed antibiotics for a possible (??) respiratory infection. Hmm....The story sounds a bit fishy to me. Does anyone know the medical history of Harper? Besides asthma, has he suffered of anything significant in the past?( find link to the article here).

Honest leadership doesn't pay! Martin's defeat is largely the result of his good intentions. He wanted to clean up government and prevent corruption. This is why he set up the Gomery Commission in the first place. This is why he came clean with Canadians about what what went wrong in the sponsorship file. And this is why he apologized to Canadians for how public money were spent in that case. In

Ok, Liberals were formally defeated last night, although not as bad as many predicted or dreamed about (SES remains clearly the only reliable polling company). In fact, I dare to say that the results place Liberals in a better position than Tories. On one hand, Harper won a very weak minority mandate, weaker than that of the preceding Liberal government! He will not be able to implement anything

CTV has been one of the most aggressive attack-dogs of the Conservative propaganda machine in this campaign. Let's not reward CTV tonight by watching their coverage of the election. Switch to CBC!

Here's my prediction: Martin will win another minority! A weaker one (around 110 seats), but still a minority. I've already posted a Truman picture on my site (www.truthteller.ca).

Media keeps praising Harper for the way in which he managed to run a "flawless" campaign. Isn't that ironical? The only reason Harper was able to run a "flawless" campaign is because the media didn't do its job (with a few notable exceptions). 95% of reporters exaggerated and salivated over every Liberal misstep, but they didn't bother to ask Harper any tough questions. The latest example about

After conspiring with Harper to bring the government down for no reason, Layton has spent day after day attacking viciously Liberals in the name of the "progressive" cause. At the same time, he didn't even bother to criticize Harper for scraping the national day-care program, committing Canada to Bush Missile

What kind of change do we really want? Borg-pundits pound us day after day that Canadians want change. Fine! I've always hated status quo. Status-quo is only for losers. They don't know what they want and hence they prefer to stick with what they have. But that's not the whole story, of course. The NATURE of

Well, the media seems to suggest exactly that. Most of the Borg-pundits want us to believe that a Harper victory is as inevitable as death. For them, the only question left is whether Harper will win enough seats to have a majority instead of a minority government. The rest doesn't matter. Resistance is futile! We need to assimilate to the new conditions. The polls have spoken!

Does Martin has an ace up his sleeve? Martin: "I think the important question is when did it become clear we were going to win and the answer to that is five minutes ago."The Truth Teller Post has the story.
