Today is the day: VOTE

And it’s a double header:
this could be the end for Sydney Crosby and his Penns.
And it could be the end for Rodney MacDonald and his Tories.
Let’s hope Syd the Kid pulls off another win. Go Penns
And let’s hope the Rodney just disappears from the map. Bye Bye Rodo.
This time tomorrow, we’ll know the winners and [...]

Rodney MacDonald and Tories in free fall

The most recent poll by Corporate Research Associates has Preem Rodo McDodo in last place for personal popularity.
And his numbers are sliding from 27% popularity three months ago to 20% now.
Way to do Rodo! If you’re going down, you might as well go down big – and in flames.
He ran a unfocused government. Now he’s [...]

Rodney falls on his sword, oops, record

Poor Rodney MacDonald. You almost feel sorry for the man.
His desperation grows with each passing day. And his bizarre campaign just keeps getting more bizarre.
Now he is trying to argue that spending the money legally required for the debt represents good leadership.
The reason? Because it was unpopular.
Oh boy.
Rodo, go back to school, man.
They’re bouncing [...]

Why do NS politicians always hector us?

Perhaps it’s the self-righteous streak that runs through the Canadian character.
Or maybe the lack of sophistication that limits Nova Scotia politics.
Perhaps, it’s down to the fact that Nova Scotian politicians have always traded off  charisma in order to appeal to the lowest-common-denominator.
Whatever the reason, political players always sound like they are hectoring.
Listen to Stephen Harper.  [...]

Heather Foley Melvin: the mistake that Rodney keeps on making

The Tory backroom boys who want Rodney out must be laughing out loud this morning. Rodney keeps handing them easy points in their quest to depose him.
Rodney has extended the contract of the highly-paid patronage appointment of Heather Foley Melvin. You will recall that she is the former car executive and former member of Rodney [...]

Hear that?

Listen.
Closely.
Hear it?
No?
Well, then you’ve heard correctly.
That’s the sound of Rodo McDodo and his merry band doing absolutely nothing.
Rodo McDodo is afraid to do anything that might trigger a confidence vote on his weak minority government.
That’s why we have no budget: the only province in Canada to have no budget – in the middle of a [...]

It’s fun watching them disintegrate, isn’t it?

These are the dying days of the Rodo MacDodo government.
We have prisoners escaping, now at a rate of two per week.
Inept ministers are offering to resign and inept premiers refusing their offer.
We have ill-conceived political stunts to spend money that is legally required to go on the debt.
And we have a scared-to-death premier frozen in [...]

Release Rodney!

As the funny folks of Monty Python might have put it.
We’re losing prisoners at a rate of two a week.
We’re getting good at mistaken releases and losing prisoners in Nova Scotia.
If we’re so good at that, why not lose a premier? Via an election, of course. This release would be the will of the people.
Of [...]

Rodney’s stimu-late package

One thing you can say for our Rodney MacDonald. He doesn’t rush into anything. No sirree.
That economic meltdown is just going to have to wait until old Rodo’s good and ready to have a look at the situation and see what his response will be.
Just like the provincial budget. Why rush? Sure, people are losing [...]

Rumour rumour on the wall …

Who is the fairest hog of all. Could Preem Rodo McDodo be the next senator?
Could he be on the short list for a senate appointment as reported on CBC radio this morning?
Senator Rodney MacDonald.  Has a ring to it, don’t you think?
We at CoD think Rodney is a fine candidate the Canadian Senate.  After all, [...]
