End the Harper Circus

Another clever, well-done, creative anti-Harper video.



Vote strategically.

Daddy Harper

There are some wonderfully creative election videos zipping around the Toobz. Like this one, answering (sorta) the series of 'It's Over, Steve' made by women all over the country.



The anti-Harper forces are smart, funny, and creative. And we totally get this whole democracy thing.

Vote strategically.

sometimes...the subconscious can be a b*tch...eh Harpo?

Harper in His Own Words

This man is demanding a majority.



'Politics as usual' will give it to him.

Vote strategically. Join the Post-Partisan Progressive Movement.

Or get ready to apologize to your GLBT friends.

Rachel Maddow Is Envious of Canadian Parliament

Sure, Rachel ultimately uses the occasion to talk about USian fiscal transparency, but she does a very creditable job of explaining the Canadian situation. She seems to have a better grip on it than many Canadians.

I really want our MSM to do some education on Canadian government and electoral system, while they're breathlessly covering the horse races and keeping score of gaffes.

I know. Hopeless.

We've turned into louts, too

As Jymn points out, Canadians are no longer international good guys.

Now, we are being told we're louts to boot.

It is a good thing that the World Junior hockey tournament did not last any longer. Another week, and we might have had a border war.

Even as it was, I think we saw a different side of the normally placid, polite, patient good neighbors we thought we knew. Buffalo was invaded by a sea of red. The tide has receded, leaving behind some hard feelings, shattered stereotypes and an aftertaste as bad as the backwash from a warm Molson.

Whatever happened to the polite, humble, rule-respecting folks we thought we knew? Where were the civic-minded citizens who dutifully wait at the street corner when the traffic light is red, even when no cars are coming? Wherever you are, we want you back.

I am not sure if it was the insufferable sense of hockey superiority, or the pre-and post-game beers, but this tournament brought out the inner lout in a lot of Canadians. Arrogant, loud, drunk, obnoxious — if I didn’t know better, I would have thought that they were, well, Americans.

(And we're still miserable tippers.)

And Stephen (You Won't Recognize Canada When I Get Through with It) Harper still isn't done with us.

Lawless Government

I can't run video at my place, so I've been reading about this for a week without being able to see it.

It's excellent and I love the music.
