Diane Finlay on CBC's power & politics said this about the new EI changes: "for example, restaurant employers in calgary have to hire off shore, because EI recipients in calgary will not take those jobs." (they will not work for $12.40 for 20-30hrs per wk) because the average two bedroom apartment in calgary is about $950, who can afford to work in the food trade and live independently?

“It’s even more shocking to me to see that there are 900,000 households in Canada that are food insecure and up to 2.5 million people precisely because this is a wealthy country. It’s even less excusable,” said De Schutter.

seems the UN is chiming in yet again on the pirate regime he's appalled that a million families rely upon food banks daily and weekly in canada.

It would be our hope that the contributions we make to the United Nations are used to help starving people in developing countries, not to give lectures to wealthy and developed countries like Canada,” he told reporters

in true pirate-speak, kenney tells UN to fuck-off. How's about diverting just some of those $100's millions in foreign famine aid to feed our own? why squander billion dollars hosting an economic summit where only the politicians benefit: jet-set around the world, stay in the most expensive lodgings with $millions spent on security, exchange decadent gifts like the $500,000 book captain blah got from italy. these G-summits have been doing no poor muthfuckers like me any damn good. kenney, its time for the gang-plank!

High-ranking Toronto police commanders overreacted during the G20 summit in June 2010 and assumed an “autocratic structure,” with superior officers — including police chief Bill Blair, according to one superintendent — disseminating orders to “own the streets” and take them back from the “terrorists that were attacking our city,”

reports can only criticize, very doubtful any cop will suffer any real consequences, they're above the law. it would be justice serviced if a class actions suit could rise from this. because hundreds had their civil liberties violated, their freedom opressed, were illegally detained, were physically injured. HARPER'S BILLION DOLLAR SECUIRTY BOONDOGLE, he and his party should be held accountable, gang-plank time for the lot!

"I am quite prepared to hold people accountable for misconduct, if misconduct is proven on the basis of evidence, given before the tribunal," Blair told reporters at a press conference.

TO Top Cop says shit! misconduct! what a load of shit this is being soft peddled. ain't any cop going to be compelled to tell the truth: they are programmed to protect and serve their own and to fuck anybody anytime they want. they been serving and protecting themselves thru any allegations thus far in this fiasco, they are untouchable.

By keeping the bill from the committee until autumn, the chances of C-30 being rewritten by that committee and then passed by both the House and the Senate before Mr. Harper has Parliament prorogued, as many anticipate he will, in preparation for a new Throne Speech appear beyond unlikely.

towes the baby-sitter fucker, and once "minister of family values" wants to see who's watching the best free porn! this guy has got to go! gang-plank time!

9. News coverage led to 40,000 people contacting Elections Canada one way or another — whether to report a misdirecting call or by signing an online petition to express concern that it had happened — chief electoral officer Marc Mayrand told a parliamentary committee in April. There are now specific allegations in almost 200 ridings by 800 people.

democracy has been mutilated by the pirates. the elections act does not have enough teeth to prosecute; the governor-general, appointed by the PM will surely not intervene and the worst is yet to come!

Then last fall, disciplinary proceedings against Mauro began on two charges under the provincial Police Services Act alleging deceit and discreditable conduct. The charges stemmed from a fake letter of support Mauro wrote three years ago on his own behalf to the Thunder Bay Police Service under the name of Keith Hobbs, who at the time was president of the police union and is now mayor.

its a tory crime because MOJ allows these bad cops to perpetuate these crimes in every city, in every province, every day.

If you or I were charged with this type of offence we would not be permitted to stay home from work with full pay and benefits until an outcome decided; would not be permitted to stay in our jobs at all. And would we be charged with DECEIPT & MISCONDUCT?

more likely we'd be charged with forgery, identity theft, fraud. and it would not be any quiet affair, the cops would see to it that our names were spread far and wide, use every media channel at their disposal to ensure we'd be ensconced in poverty, forever relegated to low pay, no benefits, or a step up to welfare.

talk about entitlement! demoted for a year? how about dismissal???

"I come here in a non-partisan nature because I'm worried about the state of Canadian democracy under this present government," University of Ottawa law professor, Errol Mendes told the hearing today on Parliament Hill

dissent from environmentalists, academics, human rights and charitable groups, justice officials, provincial and municipal officials and down to the very blue-hairs that were bamboozled by the bible thumpers, there's nobody left to alienate.

they and their chose few have us hostage for the moment but if dissent continues to gather momentum and perhaps in intensity too, the governor general may have no choice if the judiciary declares the federal election void due to voter suppression and they petition the GG into action. lower the jolly roger, extend the gang-plank and pirates, take a number!

addendum from this same article:


"He started that in a minority government, using all the tricks of the trade, from manipulating committees to prorogation to you know what and, now, it's extreme ... Canadians need to know about that. It goes way beyond the budget."
