Yea, I’d be upset too if my portrait of a nude Christy Clark was covered every-time some kids group came to the library.
Good thing Rob Ford isn’t PM.
Earlier in the week Warren Kinsella penned a piece in Sun Media suggesting it was strange the Big mean Stephen Harper Conservatives have not run a negative ad on new NDP leader Thomas Muclair… yet:
So where, in all of this, is the Conservative attack on their real enemy, Thomas Mulcair?
It’s not like they don’t have a reason to attack. According to the latest national polls, the Conservatives are no longer merely tied with the NDP. For the first time ever, the New Democrats actually are ahead of Stephen Harper’s party.
But still, the Cons do not attack. Apart from a poorly conceived swing at Mulcair’s caucus, only silence emanates from the Harper war room. No one knows why. Here’s one theory: With the Liberals, all of the Conservative attacks were centred on character, not policy. The Tory ads took something that was personal to a succession of Grit leaders, and made it political. But with Thomas Mulcair? Nothing.
It is all very odd. The Cons have nothing to fear from the third-place Libs, yet attack; from the Dippers, there is now much to worry about, but they do nothing. Why the change in strategy? The likeliest explanation is the Tory war room has yet to settle on a character-based attack that will work. Until then, Mulcair should enjoy his holiday from pain. It’s pleasant. But it isn’t going to last.
The attack is coming.
But perhaps the “Tory war room,” has made an other assessment, that once Canadians get a good look at Thomas Muclair, they won’t like what they see. Perhaps they feel it’s better to let Muclair define himself his own image:
What’s more interesting is Mulcair’s response. On Tuesday, he told Postmedia News the premiers of Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan (and presumably everybody else, including that notorious Stephen Harper sycophant, Stephane Dion) are merely acting as Harper’s “messengers,” that he (Mulcair) is right, they’re wrong, and he won’t respond to mere premiers since his fight is with Harper.
That prompted Paul Wells of Macleans.ca to humourously observe the idea of premiers Wall, Clark and especially Redford waiting by the “Harperphone” for instructions could only come from Mulcair, who believes anyone who disagrees with him must be part of a conspiracy. (If Mulcair starts twirling ball bearings and musing about who stole his quart of strawberries, run!)
Why get accused of being mean when half the political establishment is accusing your opponent of being out of touch?
Dalton McGuinty blames Alberta for Ontario being broke, in debt and trying to recover from the “worst recession since the great depression,” as our superiors so smugly called it then.
New NDP leader Thomas Mulcair thinks Ontario and Quebec may never get on track, Stephen Harper being so desperate to deflect that he is using the three western premiers as messengers to fool the rest of us. Canada is broken, and it’s Alberta’s fault.
If your unemployed, can’t make your bills and worried about losing your house in Cambridge, however, the news is good. The recession, it turns out, saved us all:
If Ontarians want to continue to flip a switch and have the lights go on, then some tough decisions have to be made about the future of electricity, said Sean Conway… a public policy advisor who served in the Ontario legislature for 28 years…
“We have to ask ourselves what constitutes the public good,” he said.
In areas like Waterloo Region, demand for electricity is growing, but the infrastructure to supply it is lagging behind.
Cambridge Hydro president and CEO John Grotheer agreed.
“The recession saved Ontario,” said Grotheer.
There you go, saved by that eve Stephen Harper and his western messengers. And the news gets better, it turns out your electricity prices are going up again in the fall:
Meanwhile, the utility will be introducing Time-of-Use billing between August and October across Cambridge and North Dumfries.
Watch for it, I’ve yet to meet anybody, regardless of what time they wash their clothes and do the dishes, that have seen their electricity prices do anything but skyrocket with this system.
All the fluffy news about those nutty celebrities
What’s this we hear about John Travolta and the masseuse’s (masseuse?)? Travolta, of whom it has long been whispered has a very large closet, has been accused this week by two male masseuse-er-ers of requesting the deluxe massage.
“He had a car full of condoms and choclolate cake wrapping.” said one in his $2-million lawsuit. “He showed me his semi-erect penis”
“He rubeed me in a very wrong way, and went berserk when he didn’t get what he wanted,” claimed the other when he joined (horned in on) the lawsuit.
“OMG,” we gasped here at Fluffernutter World Headquarters, “you mean scientology isn’t an effective cure for homosexuality?”
Someone better call Tom Cruise and make sure he knows that.
Lindsay Lohan stepped out in New York this week looking pretty good for a 35-year old. Wait! What? She’s only 25? Well then, let us just say the hard living is starting to show.
Oh, and tip for LaLohan: the collagen injected lips isn’t actually a good look.
Speaking of Lohan, we can stop worrying about her now that we know she’s practicing spiritual chanting at Courtney Love’s house. Apparently Love advised Lohan at the height of her legal troubles, and the advice: chant. Now she’s going to an all female chanter-size at the Love hole, which is, according to Love, “good for her.”
Well if it’s worked for Courtney Love all these years, what could possibly go wrong?
Update: Now this is just getting out of hand.
A third man is claiming John Travolta requested his help in breaking his vows of scientology.
The VIP services employee for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines said Travolta came up to him, saying he had something on his neck, and disrobed as he got close. “He hugged me and asked me to give him a massage,” said Fabian Zanzi. He also claims Travolta offered $12,000 to have sex.
As this happened in 2009, and Fabian kept quite quiet until the $2-million lawsuits were flying, we’re listing ourselves as skeptical.
That Chris Brown sure seems
like a nice young man. Convicted of assaulting his then girlfriend, Rihanna, back in 2009, Brown is now taking verbal shots at her via song.
In the little wee hours of Thursday morning, Brown released a re-mix of Kanye West’s Way Too Cold. In it, he raps (***language warning***):
Don’t f$&% with my old bitch it’s like a bad fur,
Every industry n#%£$& done had her.
Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to have her,
Bitch is breaking codes, but I’m the password
Nice.
Rihanna immediately un-followed Brown on twitter, to which Brown replied (on twitter, naturally) “I didn’t say any names so if u took offense to it then it’s something you feel guilty about.”
As Max Smart would say, the old “I never said it was about you, but if the shoe fits” argument, second time I’ve fallen for that this month.
Like I said, nice guy.
