Orwell's Bastard

“To paraphrase Michael Cooke: Does it ever occur to you, Toronto, that you have a bigger problem, and it isn’t Mayor Crackhead?”

“If the Mounties, whose track record on gender issues is disgusting and grossly incompetent, cannot or will not do the job they were sworn to do, and the Crown prosecutor would prefer to sit on his duff, then maybe Anonymous can out those creeps, naming and shaming them. Because only the bright light of day will put an end to all this. If citizens have to turn over the rocks themselves when the justice system throws up its hands, then so be it. What else can we do?”

Any charges against these asshole cops?

Ha. From McCormack to Boothby to Fantino to Blair, nothing ever changes, no matter who the martinet on top is. A dysfunctional, militaristic, quasi-fascist organization with a culture designed to avoid accountability and protect the assholes in its midst while their buddies go blind, deaf and dumb.

Plus ca change.

“While Harper was busy twice proroguing government, Chavez was holding fourteen national elections and referendums, taking his policies to the people for approval an average of once a year. Harper, however, literally suspended parliament in order to avoid a nonconfidence vote and hold on to power. And he lectures Chavez on democracy. What’s worse is that Harper locked the doors on parliament to avoid discussion of diplomat Richard Colvin’s strong evidence that Harper’s government was handing Afghan detainees over to Afghan prisons known to torture. Good thing Harper also threw the bit about “rule of law” and “respect for human rights” into his eulogy for Chavez.”

Harper’s response to the death of Hugo Chavez was both arrogant and baseless - rabble.ca

Jesus H Christ, Harper. Shut up. For once in your worthless life, just shut the fuck up.

Something for those inbred, ignorant little redneck wannabes up in Sutton to think about. Assuming they have more than one brain cell among them.
“The trailer for the documentary in production opens with a quote from writer George Orwell: If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. It is an appropriate setup for a film that Oscar-nominated filmmaker James Spione has set out to produce to show the unprecedented war on whistleblowers that the United States government has waged.”

MPs say it’s time to test blimps for remote communities | Toronto Star

Um … since when is private profit the test for deciding whether to extend public services? You do these things because they’re needed and because it’s for the good of the community, not because you think some asshole can make a buck off it.
“Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has made it clear to Ontario’s new Premier where he stands on transit funding, telling Kathleen Wynne he is “adamantly” opposed to new taxes or tolls.”

Well, that’s fine then. Just how does Mayor Stupid propose to pay for any kind of public infrastructure? Not like he’s had much luck shaking the private-sector money tree.

How about you, sir? Or you, ma’am? Stumped on how to pay for things? Don’t know what government does, or think the public sector’s just an overpaid, lazy trough of unionized iniquity? Problem with the city? Why not call the mayor at home? He’ll sort this out for you. Is your sidewalk cracked? He’ll come over and pour the cement himself. Your house is on fire? Call Rob, he’ll be right over with his hose.

This ignorance thing really isn’t an act for him, is it.

Again, if you use the words “reverse racism”, “misandry”, “reverse sexism” or “heterophobia” because you sincerely believe these are real issues or that white people, males, heterosexual/gender-conforming people are being “oppressed” or disenfranchised, I canNOT take you seriously as a human being and you lose all credibility with me.

yes. kindly step off my planet.
