There's a reason why Canada's Conservatives were kicked out of office today.

And it wasn't just the overspending on deals set up by Conservative Senators escort girlfiends to buy pimped-out JSF strike planes with bling out the yin yang.

It was that they Lie.

And they always Lie.

Kinda like McGinn!

Speaking of crazy governors, if Jerry Brown hadn't won in California, Meg Whitman would be pulling the same shit there that Walker and company are doing in their respective states.

By the way, since Goldy was on this the other day, is Maruta Shoten really shut down?

There's nothing on their website about it, and the King County Public Health page says conditions were satisfactory there on March 7.

He lies like a rug. His campaign for gang legislation is patently dishonest. He will say and do anything.

The Conservatives were not kicked out of power in Canada and not for any related reason. They have elections in Canada, and dissolving Parliment is something that might happen with a minority govt in a parlimentary system. Below is the reason:

A parliamentary committee recently recommended the government be found in contempt for failing to provide enough information about the costs of its crime legislation. Milliken ruled earlier this month that, "on its face," the government appeared to have breached the parliamentary privilege of MPs by refusing to release the information.

Try reading the WaPo article instead biffp.

Biffp, I think you're missing the real story there, which is that when it comes to Canada, Will is the one pulling the strings. Nothing goes down in the Frozen North without our Will says so. Will Affleck-Asch is...the all-seeing, the all-knowing, the real man behind the curtain: The Puppetmaster.

Keep after him, Goldy. He's a typical Republican. He lies, he cares nothing for the people, his only goal is his own selfish interest. And his attacks on the Affordable Care Act is all the proof anyone needs of that. But I'm sure there will be a lot more.

The polls are wrong.

Mr. Goldy,

How goes the organizing efforts up there at Stranger HQ?

pretty awesome parry at your "mentor," Goldy. I'm so sick of "journalists" interviewing public figures just so they can get a chance to talk, and not being challenged on their opinions.

Fnarf @7 - I know it's hard -- not just because he is stupid but because of the incredibly annoying *way* he is stupid -- but why don't you just try to ignore Will? Everybody else does.

@7 or instead of using teh googlez or teh bingz you could just go to canada.com, bbcnews, etc.

All your freedom is belong to 21st.

Reading Canadian sources and voting in the upcoming election. Thanks Will.

@7 Nice b-slap

So will the trolls here be as stupid and worthless as the ones at HorsesAss?

Josh is just trying to drum up traffic, as PubliCola does little of its own reporting and mostly just reports on what other people are reporting.

I remember reading articles 5 years ago on how there were a bunch of states that had way overpromised benefits, since they didn't have to pay for them now, and were in danger of going bankrupt. It's hard to fathom now, but it wasn't long ago that there was a competitive labor market, so I don't think it was necessarily the fault of governors for not driving a harder bargain-it was more the fault of citizens in not allowing themselves to be taxed enough to pay as they went for services. Reagan paved the way for taxing the one group that doesn't complain-the future. The governors are in a sense forced by the public to follow suit after he normalized this practice.

And way to spank Josh, keep up the good work.
