…who, funnily enough, are in the news again. How interesting:
Quite a change from this, just a few months ago:
“It has one purpose only, and that is to stop Tim Hudak from being premier of Ontario,” said Spiro.
You’re welcome.
Earlier reports that the killer who has been terrorizing France was a neo-Nazi are apparently wrong. Police have surrounded the alleged shooter, who is claiming al-Qaeda links.
If it’s him, I won’t cry if today is his last day on Earth.
Now, assorted far-Right pieces of human garbage are celebrating the fact that it looks like it’s al-Qaeda. Some of them are commenting on this web site.
They’re celebrating because they’d prefer it wasn’t one of their own who committed these terrible crimes. Like, you know, it recently has been.
I, meanwhile, will predict silence from minimizers/legitimizers on the Right – those who actively and regularly minimize neo-Naziism, claiming their numbers are too small to worry society, as well as those who legitimize Naziism by defending their “free speech” rights.

The ads are pretty good, as these things go. They cite unhelpful things about Rae’s record as the NDP premier of Ontario, and they end it with the obvious tagline: “He couldn’t run a province. He can’t run Canada.”
That’s the main criticism that can be made of Bob Rae, of course, and you’re going to be hearing a lot of it in the months ahead. Under his watch, Ontario became an economic basket case — unemployment and welfare rates way up, growth and investment way down.
The purpose of attack ads is to surface feelings voters already have about a politician. Rae, Canadians suspect, makes wildly spending drunken sailors look like paragons of fiscal probity.
The Con ads will remind voters about Rae’s record and voters will vote accordingly.
