Leave It To The Bloc Québécois To Get Us Stoked For A Federal Election
It doesn’t exactly sport a whole lot of words, but the Bloc Québécois’ campaign song will at least get you pumped up for something unlike that garbage Conservative one. If somebody wanted to tell me it was blaring in a war room, I might even believe him.
A Horrible Choice With A Song To Match
Behold the federal Conservative party’s official campaign song. Awful, isn’t it? And I’m not just saying that because it’s a Conservative song and I’m not a Conservative voter. It really is bad.

More flexibility absolutely can’t hurt. But I don’t think that’s the biggest issue we’re up against here. If we really want to solve the turnout problem, we …
Somebody Just Voted Himself Off The Christmas Card List
This looks like your standard, run-of-the-mill campaign ad, but then… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZuayQFD51w Holy shit, did not see that coming. Yes, that really is six of Republican Congressman Paul Gosar’s nine siblings telling the good people of Arizona not to vote for their brother and to instead support his opponent, Democratic candidate David Brill.

LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS: A CATALOG OF TRUMP’S WORST CRUELTIES, COLLUSIONS, CORRUPTIONS, AND CRIMES There are many depressing words in this article, but I think the most depressing come right at the start when it’s noted that “This is the first in a series.” And that is, unfortunately, no lie. The first link covers …
Best! Inaccessible! Voting! Experience! Ever!
I want to take a second to thank the folks working the polls at the Activa Sportsplex in Kitchener last night for one of the better voting experiences I’ve ever had. None of you were outwardly freaked out by the sight of unaccompanied blind people roaming loose in the wild. None of you tried to …
