Gilles Duceppe Announces: “The Party That will Determine the Fate of Stephen Harper is the Bloc Quebecois”

Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc Quebecois, went into Harper’s track record and made the case for Quebec separation at his first visit to Dawson College in Montreal Quebec.

The CRTC Betrays the Canadians it’s Suppose to Protect

Like browsing the internet? If the CRTC had their way, you would be paying more for it. As if Canadians don’t already have enough expenses and raising prices and not to mention that 80% price gap with the United States… Don’t we all just love it when the rich play a monopoly on the powerless?

PUCAPAB: The Liberals Have a Sense of Humor as a Spring Election seems Imminent

They’ll go Negative

It did not take too long for the Conservative Party of Canada to come out with more attacks, attacks which take Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff out of context and force an unfair manipulation tactic.
