We pledge to quit whining, stop requesting fraudsters be placed in charge of government sponsorship contracts and start fundraising.

Recession Bites Harder In Ottawa

As fears grow of a widening global recession, what of the people on the street, those ordinary working families so beloved of Jack Layton. What of the kitchen tables they will soon be burning to keep warm? It's not as if they'll need them anyway, there being no food to put on them.

TDPC recently caught up with one such ordinary Canadian, and asked him how he sees his future. We'll call him 'Richard'. Until recently, Richard has enjoyed a good standard of living with a stable and reliable stream of what he described as freelance cleaning jobs. Richard had found his niche as an online cleaner, removing dirt and filth from the Internet. He'd cleaned up all around, in fact, both literally and figuratively.

But now, Richard says, his major client and major source of income has been commissioning reports into the quality of his cleaning work, and those reports have cast into doubt on not only the standard of his work, but also the very need for it. Richard sees his income beginning to dry up.

What might someone like Richard need to do to ride out this next recession? Experts we spoke to suggested that there might really be only one option - emigrate to Zimbabwe, where people like Richard and his friend Warren are still in very high demand.

Immunity For All

In keeping with MAD's suggestion, we have revised the name of this blog to avoid Kinsella, Lucy, and Jenny Lynch-mob.

I seem to remember that not everyone likes doG (peace and blessings upon him) but we do. Immunity for Corgis!

And Now Unveiling...

... the corgis' greatest technical achievement. We told you it was coming, and here it is, publicly revealed for the first time: the cheese flavoured cat. H/t to Doggerelle.

DogmaticTM Corporation Issues Statement Concerning Missing Felines

In response to media reports concerning a large number of missing cats in Stourbridge, England, The Dogmatic^TM Corporation (a division of Doggerel Party Labs) issued a statement today neither confirming nor denying that corgi operatives in England have been testing the company's cat sequestration technology.

"No comment," said Chief Operating Officer Angie. "Can I have my food now, please?"

As Kinsella Steps Up Again

I can't help wondering, with WK announcing his return to the federal Liberal ranks, and suddenly being very visible indeed on all major media outlets...

What will be Dalton McGuinty's Eurosausage?



"I have no ambitions in that direction." "You do mean you."

Here's The Question

we need to ask everyone we know over the next few days.

If the economy is a sick patient, who would you want treating it? The uncaring, antisocial Dr. Gregory House, or the slapstick Dr. Doolittle who understands squirrels better than people?

If you're on the operating table, do you want someone who cares? Or someone who knows what they're doing?

Dr. House's patients get better.

Plans For The Nuclear Plant

the corgis are planning to build in the old gazebo are advancing nicely.

And On That Note

Well They Are Actors, After All...

From the Globe and Mail:

The performers — including Colm Feore and Wendy Crewson — noted that the arts provide 1.1 million jobs within cultural industries and contribute $86-billion to the GDP.

They say the $45-million that the Conservative government cut from culture funding last summer could seriously damage their industry.

Yep. an $86 billion-dollar industry. A $45 million dollar, highly targeted cut (for those arties who aren't too strong on math and science, that's 0.05 %). Serious damage. And they said that with a straight face, too. Where else could a 0.05% cut in subsidies cause 'serious' damage?
