God isn't done with Canada yet.

[Santander]

Holy crap, that is even worse than I originally thought...

[Santander]

Stephen Harper has taken a job at Dentons

I never got the whole, career after politics thing. If I spent a decade as PM, I'd write my memoirs, do a few speeches for extra cash, and spend a lot of time golfing and/or sleeping

I know, right? I suppose making more money is his ambition, and you can never have too much of that, I guess.

He's building financial security for his children. He's not a super rich guy and he's still young, so I respect his decision.

Trudeau could teach those jerks on the streets of Miami a thing or two about proper decorum when a famous world leader dies. When was the last time anyone anywhere danced around in public because someone died? Its not done for anyone else but I guess Cuban refugees are allowed a free pass.

I remember celebrations in the UK when Thatcher died. We can debate whether it is in good taste or not to celebrate someone's death, but that does not excuse a democratically-elected leader of a so-called free country lionizing a brutal dictator. I think it is safe to say that the vast majority of Canadians did not consider Castro a "remarkable leader", and it damages the country's reputation abroad when its leader says such outrageous things.

ELECTORAL "REFORM" IS DEAD!

Great news. Canada survives for a few more years, at least.

[Santander]

That would be a great chart to stick in instinctive America bashers' faces.

Quite so, although it wold confirm the biases of our instinctive Quebec bashers

The mosque monitoring and headscarf bans are particularly worrying. How on earth can we claim to be 'progressive' and want to monitor minority religions and tell them what to wear?!

Those are extremely encouraging statistics for me. Perhaps Canada is not gone just yet.

[Santander]

Thank God. Time to end the socialist tyranny.

[Santander]

The Alberta Party, if it wants to be seriously effective, needs to ally with the Liberals and the Redford wing of the Progressive Conservatives.

You mean the hilariously corrupt one?

[Santander]

Happy Dominion Day.

Terrorist attack in Edmonton being investigated. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like anyone was killed, but the details of the attack on the police officer are rather horrific.

[Santander]

Vive le Québec! Vive le Québec libre!

[Santander]

Harper betrays Canada, undermine Canada position in NAFTA talks

It's called real talk from a real leader.

[Santander]

One of the weirder results of the census is that the number of ethnic (as opposed to religious) Jews appears to have declined by over 50% in five years.

Supposedly there are only 20,000 Jews living in York Region. Yeah right.
