Oh Canada We Love Our Beaver (video)

As long as we are on the subject of swift Harper/Con government flip flopping on anthem changes. I heard this version of Oh Canada for the 1st time this afternoon.   Very catchy!

Harper/Cons: Hands in Our Pockets with Olympic Action Plan TV Blitz

I have been enjoying some of the Olympics but it’s hard sometimes given the incessant Harper/Con television advertising I am forced to watch, bought and paid for with my tax dollars. Buy commercial time with your own party money like everyone else!  This picture sent to me by a friend, was included in a serious of pictures of incredibly stupid journalistic headlines.  I had to post it because it sums up my feelings pretty well about the enormous amounts of money being spent on advertising inadequate EI benefits  and other Con self promotion messages, when we are in a a serious deficit position.  Cutting back means setting an example, so it’s time stop spending our money like a drunken sailor tooting your “please love us” message to Canadians.  How about taking that money and adding more compensation in EI funding for each applicant?

Try caring more about your country and the economic mess created since you took the economic reigns of power Harper/Cons (and this includes you Jane Taber, h/t Jeff Jedras) and less about yourselves.  Giant annual surpluses to pay down debt have been turned into massive deficits in just 3 years.   Harper made the biggest cabinet in recent history full knowing we were in a recession and that’s costing us a bundle too.    I have not forgotten the prorogue and Canadians, though distracted by the Olympics until Sunday, have not either.

CAPP Pro Democracy Rally Greets Harper at BC Legislature (video)

This is fresh video from my partner at AM Fresh of the CAPP pro democracy flash rally that took place in Victoria at the BC Legislature building during PM Harper’s address to the BC parliament on February 11, 2010.  Left without a voice in his own parliament because he locked the doors, it’s an interesting contrast to see that BC politicians can still find time to work in their parliament and host an Olympics.  We are simply brilliant out here in BC!

Protestors think PM Harper is lost and they want to show him the way to the House of Commons, but unfortunately he took the cowardly back way (twitter rumors say secret tunnel?)  out running with his tail between his legs rather than answering to voters.  My partner was also able to capture the large, fake PM Harper, greenhouse gas emitting motorcade used to trick the protestors in this video.  Why doesn’t he open his own parliament again and make his fluffy speeches there?  The Harper/Cons Xmas holidays have gone on long enough and it’s time to go back to work!

Vigil for Lost BC Autism Early Intervention program (video)

My partner from AM Fresh has compiled this video of Victoria’s Candlelight vigil for the closure of the Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) program at Queen Alexandra Centre and across BC.    The vigil took place Monday, January 29th on the steps of the BC Legislature.  I still get teary when I watch the 1st part of the video.
