After having been hiding out at work all evening, I have finally just gotten home from flipping burgers and making milkshakes and am in desparate need of a shower... if only working fast food wasn't so greasy, perhaps I could come home after a shift not smelling like a giant french fry - however, I could not help but blog... blog, then shower... or blog, shower and blog some more before going to

Conservative MPs gave Stephen Harper a standing ovation during a closed-door meeting Wednesday when he told them he will not yield to criticism of the way the government commemorates military deaths... Flags on Parliament Hill will no longer be selectively lowered to half-mast when soldiers lose their lives.Although I could understand how some families may not want to draw attention to their

"Canada's top general is denying a report that the new Conservative government asked to approve his speeches" and "Prime Minister Stephen Harper also says there's no move to censor Gen. Rick Hillier" ... interesting...Seems to me that they are are censoring, but not censoring - "I want to know exactly what you're going to say, and when you're going to say it, or no cookie before you go to bed"...

I'm sure that Harper being in Burnaby and seeing an array of protesters is old news - though apparently it's not yet old news to the protesters, who "are still angry"; meh, I don't blame them... in fact, I would very much like to partake in a good wholesome Canadian protest. Harper claims to want to follow through with this and that, why doesn't he follow through with his "accountability"

"Call Stephen Harper what you will, but don't call him a Conservative Casanova" (Canadian Press, 2006) - no problem, can do - he's not my type... I'm not into the slime-ball creepy Conservatives, thank you very much. And quite frankly, blue isn't one of my favorite colors - give me a nice mauve or crimson, perhaps a nice charcoal black. The prime minister was quick to correct a New Democrat MP

Like most days when I have a long break between lectures, I like to sit and "chill" in the student lounge, scrolling through random newspapers and giving my friends an ear-full when something strikes my fiesty political opinion. Oh, it's grand being an opinionated university student... for that reason alone, I felt compelled to blog about the random articles that I have read this morning - and

The Anti-Emerson Walk for Democracy protest was yesterday in Vancouver-Kingsway; it's a pitty that I wasn't able to go... I was the typical university student slaving away on multiple term-papers, however I must say... I'm damn proud of how many people showed up to defend what they believe for. It's obvious that the government and blue-tinged smurf-like Conservatives will be able to sweep

Has anyone else noticed that green vest Harper always wears? Not only was he wearing it out in Afganhistan but it found his way to Mexico as well. This gives me yet another theory about our beloved PM... the green vest is Harper's security blanket. His wife would not allow him to pack his teddy bear or tickle-me Elmo... so he was stuck with the green vest - poor guy, how is he going to sleep

In a news article that I read today, Harper said "Conservative supporters and Canadians at large should flood their MPs with demands for the kinds of change they want to see in government" If he wants change, then I suggest that he starts with his hair - would it absolutely kill him to get some highlights? A haircut? Or a new toupee? The one change I would like to see however, is another Liberal

Seeing as I have a few minutes to waste before going to my Psychologylecture, I thought that I would take a few minutes to blog - while I criticized Emerson yesterday, I thought that I would switch things up and poke fun of Harper's fashion statements.I'm sure that everyone has seen the hideous cowboy-getup, dear God, I have never seen something so ugly... a slightly over-weight politician

Constituents in Vancouver-Kingsway are still not pleased with David Emerson - not only are they plotting to plant "de-elect Emerson" signs on their front lawns like pink flamingos, but to send messages to Emerson via the clouds - sending an Et-esque message, saying "David Emerson Call Home""A Vancouver-Kingsway resient has hired a small aircraft and piolet out of Toronto to fly over Ottawa as

It seems to me and our beloved pollsters that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's trip to Afghanistan failed to boost the "waning public support for the combat mission" (The Ottawa Citizen, March 25, 2006) ... recent polls suggest that only 52% backed the use of our troops "for security and combat efforts against the Taliban and al-Qaeda" ... so, as most polls go - subtract an extra couple percent

OTTAWA - Opposition party leaders warned yesterday they are willing to bring down Stephen Harper's minority government if it does not change its course -- particularly on the Tory promise to provide a child-care subsidy to parents -- in the next two weeks.In separate meetings with the Prime Minister, interim Liberal leader Bill Graham and the Bloc Quebecois' Gilles Duceppe reminded the

"It's up to New Democrats and the Bloc Quebecois to see that the minority Conservative government survives its first throne speech, says Opposition leader Bill Graham", the interm Liberal leader paid Harper a visit to remind him, that he's not as strong and mighty as he thinks he is... if political leaders Stephan Harper wouldn't be the roaring lion that he thinks himself to be, but rather a

It does not look like David Emerson will be weeping into a tissue murmering "they love me, they really love me" as many beauty pagent contestants or actors say after winning some sort of award - perhaps "they hate me? Why do they hate me?" or something like that... as in the Vancouver Kingsway riding thousands of signs saying 'De-Elect David Emerson' will be hammered into the freshly spring-green

According to a news article that I read, the latest poll suggests that "Tory support is as strong as it was in the Jan. 23 election" I'm sorry, but who exactly did this poll? Did the pollster walk into a room of conservatives? Or did they walk into a room of random people and asked "So, do you like the complimentry cheese and crackers?"Polls all depend on who's being asked... "In this week's poll
