Layton sets Dion Straight

Dipper Chick: Layton burns Dion- video

"If you can't do your job as the leader of the opposition, I don't know what you're doing running for the job of prime minister." - Layton to Dion, in reference to Dion and the Liberals voting with the Conservatives, abstaining and sitting out votes instead of standing up for their constituents against Conservative bills.

Unspoken communication - yep.

Mac Book Pros "potentially cancer-inducing

Mac Pros stink according to users - The INQUIRER

The preliminary results of the lab’s tests were worrying to say the least,
with benzene fumes reportedly being the cause of the "intense, nauseating"
odour. The Enviro-mentalists were quick to point out that inhaling benzene
fumes on a regular basis was not only less than ideal, but also potentially
cancer-inducing, and urged Apple to look into the situation.

Harper's plagerized speech most likely from the same source as Howard's speech.

Peterborough Politics: Blame It On The Rain

Doesn't it make sense that maybe both Mr. Howard and Mr. Harper, both of whom were and are war hawks, might have received some "study aides" from friendly American sources to help them along? It may not be the best explanation, but it makes more sense than the published expert on intellectual property law plagiarizing a speech made half-way around the World three days earlier for his boss out of zeal. Mr. Harper and his party have a lot of explaining to do, but given their history on matters like these, I fully expect him to answer nothing, insult those who ask and avoid, avoid, avoid. If you hadn't learned yet, that's what the Conservatives call "Accountability".

NDP Tax Rate is competative

The Progressive Economics Forum » Is Layton’s Tax Rate Competitive?

The NDP platform would situate Canada in the middle of the Group of
Seven and well below major emerging markets. The most important
comparators are the United States and Japan. Much, if not most, of the
internationally-mobile capital in Canada is part of American and
Japanese multinational corporations.

Canadian Dollar Up 4 cents to $1 US

The Canadian dollar was at 96 cents US yesterday (Sept 29, 2008). Today it is trading at par - $1 US. Isn't it funny how the MSM always reports on it dropping, but rarely on it rising. You would think that a 4% rise in 24 hours would be something they would report on.
A month ago, it was trading at 94 cents. Now, it is back up to a level not seen since last winter.

Apple shares plummet

Morgan Stanley analyst Kathryn Huberty said that the shares in Apple were far

For Election '08 Canada, the NDP may be the way forward

Borges Blogue: Militantly Undecided

The Federal Liberal Party no longer seems to represent the interests ordinary Canadians during this election campaign. They do have an impressive scheme, called 30-50, 30 percent reduction in the number of people in poverty, 50 percent reduction in child poverty. However their plan to implement is ridiculous, a few thousand dollars in tax credits is hardly the way to tackle poverty, which is simply an expression of the class antagonisms that are intrinsic in the capitalist system.

The New Democratic Party of Canada is far from advocating the democratic and socialist transformation of society for the betterment of all Canadians, however they do understand that the current system is not working, and have committed themselves in the past, and in the future towards reducing the gap between rich and poor, fighting poverty and inequality. The party is the only one that seems to genuinely care about the needs of the working class during this election campaign. That is why, for this election, one must support the NDP, while remaining and identifying as a Liberal.

The Rich Are Staging a Coup Right Now | PEEK | AlterNet

Health insurance? Mike, why are you bringing this up? What's this got to do with the Wall Street collapse?

It has everything to do with it. This so-called "collapse" was triggered by the massive defaulting and foreclosures going on with people's home mortgages. Do you know why so many Americans are losing their homes? To hear the Republicans describe it, it's because too many working class idiots were given mortgages that they really couldn't afford. Here's the truth: The number one cause of people declaring bankruptcy is because of medical bills. Let me state this simply: If we had had universal health coverage, this mortgage "crisis" may never have happened.

This bailout's mission is to protect the obscene amount of wealth that has been accumulated in the last eight years. It's to protect the top shareholders who own and control corporate America. It's to make sure their yachts and mansions and "way of life" go uninterrupted while the rest of America suffers and struggles to pay the bills. Let the rich suffer for once. Let them pay for the bailout. We are spending 400 million dollars a day on the war in Iraq. Let them end the war immediately and save us all another half-trillion dollars!

Don't let this happen in Canada. Stephen Harper wants to privatize our healthcare system. If he does, what happened in the USA can happen here. Vote against the Conservatives this election.

harrowing detail about the Bush regime's election fraud, past, present
and--if we don't spread the word right now--to come. Since he's the
only whistle-blower out there who knows the perps themselves, and how
they operate, we have to send this new piece far and wide.

Elizabeth May does NOT want to withdraw Canadian troops from Afghanistan

This news came as a complete shock to me and, I suspect, also to many Green Party candidates and activists. At the very least, this revelation will help to clarify the voting options of those Canadians who want our soldiers brought home immediately. There is now only one choice for them — to vote NDP.
