Sold Out or Smart Move?

I'm trying really hard not to think this is just a move to buy the Liberal party time to measure support before launching into another election.

ugh.

Protest Music

Not like Pete Seeger, I mean protest music being played.

Check it out:

Parents' group protests Britney Spears song

Parents' group protests Britney Spears song | Entertainment | Music | Reuters

I think we should petition that the song not be played because it's vulgar, but because it's crap.

FFS.

Metallica is my new favourite band!

Oh Macleans, Oh You...

What happens when the most entitled generation ever hits a recession?

Macleans.ca - Dude, where’s my job?

I'm trying not to hate on Macleans, but they make it so hard.

The article is worth a read though, it'll make you laugh at the Boomers staring down the barrel of the recessiongun and doing their best to deflect attention.

Enjoy!

Confusing Citizenship Changes

Proposed federal regulations unveiled in mid-December seek to prevent children born to or adopted by Canadians outside the country from passing citizenship on to their children if they are also born abroad.

Citizenship changes could create 'inferior' citizens-via thevancouversun

Ok, but isn't this is the same government that has allowed children adopted/born abroad to automatically become citizens? It's just weird, I didn't know we were so freaked out about citizens of convenience that we would allow a sort of tier system. Shouldn't we be a bit more concerned with creating a class of stateless people than with the potential that some might not have the strongest loyalty to our flag and ~~queen~~ PM?

Prorogate This

So our government failed to overthrow itself. At least we got a new word to throw about.

A prorogation is the period between two sessions of a legislative body. When a legislature or parliament is prorogued, it is still constituted (that is, all members remain as members and a general election is not necessary), but all orders of the body (bills, motions, etc.) are expunged. (In the British parliament, this has now changed somewhat in that Public Bills can be carried over from one session to another.)

Parliamentary session - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To me it seems like we've got two groups looking to look good in front of the Canadian people by campaigning on each others shortcomings while already elected. That shit sucks during election time, but it's out of hand when it happens after an election and BEFORE a throne speech.

Bah.

One would think that with a minority government ALL parties ought to work to form a coalition. I suppose that's what governing with the consent is all about but that's just not happening. What's happening is a farce.
