It makes you wonder whether the guy is simply as dumb as a post or so incredibly arrogant as to be derisive enough about the public of Canada that he’d just out and out lie. Just how valid is Harper’s claim that changing governments without a new election would be undemocratic? “It’s politics, it’s pure rhetoric,” [...] http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/harper-wrong-on-democracy-claims-experts-grade-10-students/feed/ http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=spookyhill&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spookyhill.net%2F2008%2F12%2Fharper-wrong-on-democracy-claims-experts-grade-10-students%2Fhttp://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/harper-wrong-on-democracy-claims-experts-grade-10-students/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/spookyhill/~3/475236237/ http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/lets-at-least-try-to-understand-what-we-say/#comments Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:23:26 +0000 gall http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/lets-at-least-try-to-understand-what-we-say/ A comment by Norman Spector on the Globe and Mail site caught my eye as well: On CBC, Peter Mansbridge and Don Newman were quick to pour cold water on the Prime Minister’s assertion during his televised address that “Canada’s government has always been chosen by the people.” Both cited the Byng-King affair, in which the [...] http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/lets-at-least-try-to-understand-what-we-say/feed/ http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=spookyhill&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spookyhill.net%2F2008%2F12%2Flets-at-least-try-to-understand-what-we-say%2Fhttp://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/lets-at-least-try-to-understand-what-we-say/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/spookyhill/~3/475236238/ http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/coalitions-and-canadian-government/#comments Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:41:14 +0000 gall http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/coalitions-and-canadian-government/ The recent and ongoing events in Parliament are hardly surprising, unprecedented, or unjustified. I supose I could rattle off the usual litany of correctives such as ‘we elect MPs, not governments—the GG asks someone to form a government’, ‘this isn’t the first time a government has gone down in a vote of non-confidence where a [...] http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/coalitions-and-canadian-government/feed/ http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=spookyhill&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spookyhill.net%2F2008%2F12%2Fcoalitions-and-canadian-government%2Fhttp://www.spookyhill.net/2008/12/coalitions-and-canadian-government/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/spookyhill/~3/475236239/ http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/11/spookyblogs-future/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:08:29 +0000 gall http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/11/spookyblogs-future/ I find it odd to be posting about consolidating sites, services, and such when I have been so incredibly slack in posting to this blog these past 2 years. However, I have been spending money on services I do not use, so a few rationalisations are going to have to be done.  Basically, I am going to get rid of the [...] http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/11/spookyblogs-future/feed/ http://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=spookyhill&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spookyhill.net%2F2008%2F11%2Fspookyblogs-future%2Fhttp://www.spookyhill.net/2008/11/spookyblogs-future/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/spookyhill/~3/475236240/ http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/11/side-effects/#comments Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:08:43 +0000 gall http://www.spookyhill.net/2008/11/side-effects/ I really have no idea why I thought of this commercial tonight, but I just had to go find it on YouTube.
