Duffy and the born-again Christians

You have to feel for the Duffster. There he was, most loyal lap-dog in Big Steve's kennel, being totally hung out to dry when the optics of his expense claims suddenly made him a liability.

That has to cut deep.

What did he expect? To hear him tell it in court today, he expected a little loyalty back, according to the CBC. And not just loyalty, but empathy, honesty, and perhaps even a bit of mercy. After all, he was dealing with a crew of "born-again Christians," and why would he expect less from that lot than he would expect from Jesus himself, and after all, wasn't Jesus all about truth and love and forgiveness?

Well yes; if you read the Sermon on the Mount you might think so, but Big Steve's Alliance Church Mafia were cut from stiffer cloth than that. Take a gander at their "Vision Prayer" and you'll get a sense of what sort of religious nutters were running the country for the last ten years. These are hard-core Christian Zionists; they're to Christianity what the Taliban are to Islam.

Here's hoping Duff does better with Justice Vaillancourt than Christ did with Pontius Pilate.

Harper claims Canada is number one for accepting refugees; CBC fact check reveals we're actually number forty-one

Check it out for yourself.

More and more often the mainstream finds itself in agreement with what the pot-addled think-tankers here at Falling Downs have been saying all along; Harper's Holy Rollers are a pack of lying weasels!

Montreal mayor unexpectedly finds his balls

Check this out! There's Milquetoast Coderre giving quite an impressive middle finger to the unctuous twat Deepak Chopra, the Canada Post boss who claimed that seniors pleaded with him to end home mail delivery.

How assholes like Chopra make it to the top in the civil service bureaucracy is a complete mystery. Maybe he's a regular at Big Steve's church.

On the other hand, what a pleasure it is to find that the most recent Montreal mayor actually owns a pair. If you follow Montreal politics at all you'll know they've been through a number of sad-sack mayors who have all campaigned on "reform," which in Montreal apparently means prying the fingers of certain Italian-Canadian entrepreneurial families off the levers of municipal government.

The reform will go great for a few months and then, oopsie, the reformer is outed in a CBC undercover investigation, surreptitiously stuffing wads of hundred dollar bills in his socks at an Italian bistro...  

Game over!

On to the next reformer...

Maybe Denis Coderre is the real deal.

Anybody who can stand up to the Harper gang won't have any problems with the Mafia.
