I really do need to learn French soon

Damn that accent is so horrible.

I dig her accent~ESPECIALLY if it is offensive to "proper" French nationals!

I know nothing at all about the space program but methinks this brave woman deserves a fucking medal! The same tirades should be a regular feature in the U.S. house and senate. CSPAN would become a ratings MACHINE!!

GUY IN DRESS: "ORDER, ORDER."

PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE THROUGH HIS DRESS: "Fuck order, WHO DRESSED YOU THIS MORNING?!"

To me, this is real politics. People should get all worked up about frauds and corruption. Western cultures tend to look down on expressing strong emotions and consider it 'lowerly' when loses temper in public space. That's okay when everything was fine and dandy when economy was prosperous and things actually worked the way they were suppose to work. But when shit has hit the fan and everything is out of place, you gotta lay it down on'em and show some blood saying it's not all fine and dandy anymore.

Hear, hear! Week-minded and week-willed posers who get bent out of shape for lack of acceptable decorum. Who the fuck needs em?! All it says to the gifted and untainted is that we don't want your dissent, we want to control the masses with fear and threat of imprisonment. Courts are a joke as well. Don't get me started on the U.S. House and Senate either. It's a fool that believes the thing works anymore.

Being a Canadian, I stand 100% behind her. We don't know for sure who made these calls (choke, cough cough, hack hack) but when we do find out (at least one riding is now going to have a re-election due to these calls) and when enough of the affected ridings get their fair shots at casting their votes, I for one hope the guilty parties go to jail for a long long time.

I live in one of the ridings that got these calls, and both my roommate and I received calls telling us to go to another polling station. I called Elections Canada and was informed that they do not make phone calls but that they had received an unusual number of complaints.

This happens every election cycle here in the US, though predominantly to the young, the poor and the minorities. There are over 120 new laws on the books here in the States restricting the voting rights of those folks, sending out mail saying you have to vote on x day. It happens every election year in this country and it's only going to get worse for one reason... The republican voting block is shrinking. Younger people, blacks, and especially Latinos, these groups are growing rapidly and vote democrat predominantly, so instead of trying to actually get these groups on board by supporting them, republicans do their best to restrict their ability to vote. It's why a number of states (mostly southern states) make it so you need a state ID to vote and make it extremely hard to get new IDs, especially in the inner cities. In some states you cant vote with a student ID, but you can with a gun license. Florida has a new state law that makes it illegal for groups to help people register to vote. How preposterous is that? This is all in the name of 'voter fraud'. Funny thing is, in the last several years there have been a total of five.. yes.. five.. cases of this that actually went to court in the entire United States. Whats really funny is that two of them were republicans who held an office. One was a secretary of state! (The person in each state tasked with making sure voting and elections go smoothly in essence.)

I feel bad for Canadians. Their government has essentially been paid off by the oil industry. They are making out like bandits up there and their beautiful country is being torn apart (both physically and socially) because of it.

Being loud isn't how you get heard - it's how you get marginalized and ignored.

To the extent that there are people "pulling the strings" (and Canadian politics is actually not terribly corrupt), those people are happiest when their critics behave like this.
