RoboCon and VikiLeaks

Surprisingly, the Canadian government is dealing with other scandals it’s instigated. Vikileaks was the subject again today, where the Speaker ruled that Anonymous (an unrepresented collective of hackers and political activists) was found to have breached the privledge of Minister Toews who’s created the monster of a bill, C-30 (to spy on Canadians using the Internet).

You can’t arrest an idea, but you can call it before a committee even though there are no people there to represent it.

Anonymous gets to #Toewstify

ShitHarperDid.com cocreator points out, the IOC didn’t bicker about how much muscle Ben Johnson grew from cheating, and if his original muscle would still have been enough for first place in 1988. Why give the Conservatives more slack for something more serious?

“Canada’s Math Problems”:

I’d like to speak to you about Canada’s serious math problems.

First of all, the Harper Conservatives were elected to a majority government with less than 40 per cent of the votes. That’s four in 10. Mathematically speaking, four in 10 is not the majority of numbers between one and 10. In fact, four out of 10 happens to be a failing grade on a math test. It’s also a losing — and I repeat losing — road trip for a hockey team. But perhaps most importantly, four in 10 isn’t even enough dentists to credibly recommend you a tube of toothpaste.

If four in 10 isn’t good enough for toothpaste, should it be good enough to run our country?

(Crowd yells, “No”).

One response to “RoboCon and VikiLeaks

  1. Our electoral system has traditionally produced majority governments with minority vote counts. Such is the way of First Past The Post elections. The conservatives are no more the beneficiary of this than any other party so to caterwaul about this in respect to only the CPC is more than a little one sided.

    The vickileaks thing is far more interesting a point of discussion I think. What’s truly interesting is the reaction among his constituents, many who seem to think that he is being victimized unfairly. Not much is expected of politicians these days and so it may not be surprising to know that some think less of the tactics used to exposed Vic Toews than of his personal character flaws in the context of him “springing to the defence” of all those Canadians who may be victimized by child pornographers or whatever other balderdash one may think is the aim of his legislative agenda.
