Beib-asshian


                If you are born with a pretty face and a heart shaped ass you can make millions of dollars for absolutely nothing. After being married for 72 days Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from NBA player of the New Jersey Nets Kris Humphries.  It’s obvious that the wedding that was televised was all a sham and it sucks for Humphries who had been doped into marrying her. This whole thing really makes me angry that gay people can’t get married in the U.S because they are “ruining the sanctity of marriage” but Kim and Kris can. She’s only famous because she had sex with someone on camera for $5 million. She had sex with someone and then profited from it therefore, she is a prostitute. As for Humphries, even though I feel bad for him a little, he should have known what he was getting himself into.  Why would he follow the NFC? Kardashian banged players who play for the NFC south and the NFC west. The sex tape, the NFL players, her parading around in outfits that show most of her lady parts wasn’t a red flag, not to mention that she is always partying in nightclubs? It’s obvious that Humphries is just a big dumb jock idiot. The whole Kardashian family is just grotesque and extremely selfish and brainless.
                Apparently a woman is claiming that Justin Beiber fathered her child. She claims she and the singer went backstage into a bathroom and had sex. When she told him to put a condom on he said “I don’t want to”.  She also says that he told her she would be taking his virginity.  Of course Bieber and his reps deny all of that and say that it is false. I personally have been praying everyday that the baby is in fact his. I hate this annoying stupid bratty kid so much. I hope that kid is his so the baby can one day teach Beiber how to act like a man. I hope his stupid fans find him repulsive and then he becomes a nobody afterthought just like Jesse McCartney. He has a song called baby, and he might be raising one now. If I was Beiber I’d commit suicide because I’d hate myself. Seriously though, if I was Beiber I would use the pain of this as an inspiration to make a new album. It’s a chance for him to stop making music for little annoying girls and make music for adult men and women.  No more crap about trying to get a girl to like you in between English class and social studies. Start using crack cocaine and sing about how the man is keeping you down. I don’t think I hate any other celebrity or non celebrity for that matter than Beiber. He is one of the few people I wish death upon consistently. By the way, there’s nothing controversial or wrong about wishing someone would die. Everyone in the world at some point in their life wished someone else would die so, me saying that I wish he would die isn’t provocative at all. I also wish the cast of Jersey shore would die and also Bills owner Ralph Wilson.

0-7 :(


It’s hard to enjoy watching football when your team gets absolutely destroyed and humiliated every week.  I feel like putting a paper bag over my head. The Indianapolis Colts are horrendous without Peyton Manning. Someone has to take responsibility in fact I want someone to get fired for this. This team has always been a great solid playoff team and always was close to winning a second Super Bowl. The Sunday night game against the Saints was unbearable.  I found myself sitting there and constantly changing channels to avoid the carnage. Sitting in my living room and watching on my big screen TV my favourite sports team get manhandled made me enraged. Not to mention NBC’s coverage that consists of showing Bourbon Street any time could, playing music from the dreaded Bayou, and showing idiots in the stands with “Who Dat” signs.  Plus, Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth are so boring to listen to. They just thrive at being mediocre broadcasters going through a mid life crisis. Everything about this season irritates me especially seeing 2nd class teams like the Lions and the Bills playoff bound. The Bills will play at Rogers Centre this Sunday. I don’t want to watch the NFL playoffs in January and not see the Colts play with the Steelers, Chargers, Patriots, or who ever.  Peyton manning has to stop standing on the sidelines and looking all depressed and helpless. The camera focuses on him several times during the game and he’s just standing there looking like he wet himself. From now on please watch from the booth or inside the locker room.

Relax, you’re a sports journalist.


 Not 5, not 6, not 7, said LeBron James of the Miami Heat when asked how many championships the team would win. Ever since then the media has been hounding him and his team for his comments. Sports journalists have to understand that the men they are interviewing are athletes. You shouldn't hold them to a higher standard. These are men with very little education who are essentially jocks with money. They will say or do things that may contradict the team and themselves but, that doesn't mean you should beat them over the head with it. You’re not interviewing or reporting on politicians, law in- enforcement, business owners, or the government. You’re covering people who get paid to play a game in an arena in front of tens of thousands of people. It’s the quintessential definition of show business.  Sports are the greatest form of reality television and to sharply criticize any athlete for saying he wants to win multiple championships is arrogant. Remember that you place on a golden pedestal those with multiple championships.  The ones to focus on are those who have criminal records and or known use of performance enhancing drugs. 
                Focus on things in sports that work and don’t, for example the WNBA. It’s time to scrap this league. Nobody cares or watches these games. You have to know a guy who works for a cable company to get the channel that the game is on. Just a few weeks ago the Minnesota Lynx beat the Atlanta Dream 73 to 67 to win the championship. The NBA subsidizes the league and pours millions into it every year. There’s nothing wrong with the young women who play basketball but, this league has run its course. It’s time to shut it down.
                Enough with the pink already! I’m tired of watching NFL games and seeing players wearing pink cleats, pink gloves, and pink hats. I know breast cancer is terrible and it’s great the league raises money for it but, making the players wear pink is so ridiculous. I don’t want to see my favourite football players wearing pink. I don’t want to see Ray Lewis wearing one of those pink head covers. I don’t want to see Adrian Peterson with a pink mouth guard. I definitely don’t want to see Dwight Freeny or Robert Mathis wearing pink. Although Donovan McNabb and Jay Cutler should wear pink gear all season.
                I want to see LeBron James play in the NFL has a wide receiver. First down he runs in the middle and gets wrecked by Ray Lewis, Urlacher, Polamalu, and pretty much anyone, even David Akers. The NBA lockout is really hurting the great game of basketball. I love basketball so much and it sucks not being able to see Raptors games on television. They already cancelled the pre-season and the first two weeks. Now David Stern is threatening to cancel the Christmas Day games. What else is there for me to do on Christmas if there are no games on TV? I hope they end this lockout because TV is boring enough and if there are no basketball games on TV during the week I’m stuck watching the Big Bang Theory instead of the Raps taking on the Celtics. I’m stuck watching a Christmas carol and a Star wars Marathon instead of the Lakers playing the Heat at the Staples Centre. Plus, watching hockey is such a chore. It’s so boring and the game is just has exciting as a poker game.
                The MLB should add another spot to the playoffs. Baseball in the post season is very exciting. I used to think baseball was a very boring spot but, the success of the Blue jays this season made the MLB a great game to watch. The playoffs have been great. The fall classic is going to be a great series with two teams not from the north east but rather the heartland. I 'm rooting for the Cardinals to win in 6 games over the Rangers.

Fall Election Preview

This october the people of Ontario will head to the ballot box and vote for the person they believe would be the best Premier for them. According to a recent Nano's poll Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty had a slight edge over PC Tim Hudak. Meanwhile NDP leader Andrea Horwath is a distant 3rd. Nevertheless there are still 20% of voters who are still undecided and depending how they vote if they vote will determine the winner. It looks as though it will be a minority government for who ever wins. Even Horwath could come from behind and win. This is an election for Dalton McGuinty to loose. He has been on the offensive attacking Hudak and calling the Ontario PC's "The tea party". On the other hand Hudak claimed that the Premier would give a job to a "foreigner" instead of a Canadian. This type of political mudslinging and hyperbole will definitely turn off voters. Both of these candidates risk looking partisan. Horwath has been staying out of their way answering reporters questions and speaking to constituents and is looking electable. For some reason her polling each time has always come out at a distant 3rd. She can't get any more votes than that and if she wants to win she has to do something or say something to give her a spark or some sort of momentum. If she drags her feet this is going to be one of the many mistakes the NDP do this year. The Liberals have 38.1%, the PC have 34.7%, the NDP have 24.3%. Who ever wins is going to have to deal with a number of things such as health care, education, the tax code and Toronto. Here is the link to the Nanos Poll. http://www.nanosresearch.com/main.asp

I Love YouTube


YouTube has become a huge platform for young artists to showcase their talent. I watch a lot of music videos on the Internet of artists trying to get their big break. In many cases it has worked out for them and for a lot it doesn’t. The fact that YouTube allows people to express themselves freely gives a person complete freedom to do what they want, even if it’s a corny idea. There are many great artists on YouTube and I don’t think they get enough recognition because I can honestly say that there are songs on YouTube that are better than the filth I hear on the radio. One specific genre that I see a lot of is hip-hop music. I see where people can make the argument that hip-hop music isn’t what it used to be, I can agree with that. I don’t think hip-hop will ever return to the way it used to be but I also don’t see that as a bad thing. A lot of rappers have their own style, which makes music more fun and unique. Keeping the same style gets old and listeners want more variety. I like that rappers are being more creative with their work for example featuring a rock group on a song. I think the blends of music together makes it that much more spectacular. Don’t get me wrong; it’s not only the rappers. Many artists are featuring artists from different genres and I personally find this kind of music to be the best. Classic hip-hop can never be replaced. Many artists use the same old school sounds in their music but it’s rare to hear a whole album that has an old school vibe.

Is Obama a socialist?


Not even close. When senator Obama was running for president in 2008 he promised many things to the American people and the world. As soon as he won the election he was attacked by conservative news media Fox News simultaneously he was attacked by republicans in congress especially tea party republicans. They said economic policies were too liberal and too far left and that he was hurting the economy. The stimulus bill that was started under President Bush and continued under Obama is one of the many things they blame him for. I agree Obama’s stimulus bill failed but it didn’t fail because it was too big. This is where Liberals like me and conservatives differ. The stimulus bill failed because it was too small, if it had been bigger the economy would have rebounded and it would help people find jobs. The other reason it failed is one the republicans never acknowledge. Half of the stimulus was the Bush tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. When President Obama worked on health care reform he made a huge mistake, he started the debate with the public option. The public option is government insured health care which means if you are an American and your coverage is too expensive and the health insurance companies are giving you a hard time you would be able to switch and receive the same care from your doctor or from any hospital and it would be affordable to you and would not put you in financial strain. If people like the insurance they already have then they would be able to keep it that’s why it’s called public option. Obama is a member of the Democratic Party and as a democrat he should have started the debate with universal health care. Universal health care is a single payer system like Canada’s health care system which means you don’t pay the government pays for the health care. Every western first world country has some version of this except the United States. Getting rid of the health insurance companies should have been his goal. These companies profit from people’s sickness raising rates and not covering patients for many diseases and cancers. If he started the debate from single payer but wasn’t going to get enough support in congress to pass the bill he could of then cut a deal and got the public option passed knowing that there is no need for a middle man for health care. If that isn’t enough to prove that Obama is not a socialist than this will. Big companies and corporations are supposed to pay taxes to the federal government. Exxon Mobile and BP are two of the world’s biggest oil companies. They pay lower taxes then middle class families and they receive tax cuts from the government. If Obama closed loopholes and stopped giving big oil companies the American peoples tax dollars he would save $4 billion over 10 years. General Electric (GE) gets billions in tax relief from the government but pays absolutely no income taxes. GE is the owner of NBC News and MSNBC. MSNBC is a leftist liberal network that supports democrats and extensively makes republicans look bad which makes MSNBC the equivalent of Fox News. Obama always gets good coverage and news reports making him look good and in exchange GE abuses the tax code and pays no taxes. The 2012 re-election campaign has started and Obama’s team estimate that they will get over a billion dollars in campaign contributions to defeat the republican candidate. Obama is democrat who has passed over and over again bills that are exactly what republicans want. Obama isn’t a socialist he isn’t even a democrat he’s moderate conservative he just happens to be on the blue team but would find himself surrounded with people just like him if he was on the red team.
For more detailed information on who donated to Obama’s campaign and who will donate this time around go to this website.   http://www.fec.gov/

Norway Terrorist

 The atrocities that took place on July 22 2011 will be remembered forever by the people of Norway and people all over the world. When things like this happen we must remember that the majority of people in this world want to live free, want secularism, tolerance, and freedom of speech among other things. It’s the few that try to derail us that are heinous and will face the consequences of their actions.
Anders Behring Breivik is the coward who ended up killing 76 innocent civilians out of hatred for Norway’s multiculturalist society and the liberal grass roots organisations who have liberal immigration policies. His xenophobia is directly specific to Muslims and Islam. He is a far right wing Christian terrorist who tried to start a holy war against Islam. It was only a matter of time until people started to criticize the response by the police and emergency services. Media helicopters were at the scene at Utoeya Island an hour before the police arrived. Meanwhile, a government building was under attack by bombs. It had become clear that the police were unprepared for simultaneous attacks. What’s troubling is that Brievik was already known by the police since March 2011, that when authorities discovered he had bought chemicals from Poland online.
Director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, or START, Gary LaFree says, “The greatest threat of large-scale attacks come from individuals and small groups of extremists who subscribe to radical Islamic or far right-wing ideologies”. Domestic terrorism such as this has been on the rise. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Right Wing anti-government groups grew by 60% in 2010. Breiviek had such distaste for multi-culturalism that he preached “unity over diversity” claiming diversity was destroying European society.
The killer’s goal was to reverse the immigration of Muslims to Europe and although the killer is a white Christian, there some media coverage reporting that the attacks were from Islamist extremists. The American cable news host Bill orielly was angry behind his desk last week scolding the mainstream media for calling Breiviek a Christian. Going on to say that, “Christians are non-violent”. Yet his network, Fox News, has been equating law abiding Muslims with radical Islam. Yet he and others like him fail to realize that Christian extremism can be just has radical and dangerous as Islamic extremism. During The Crusades in the 15th century the pope started several campaigns with the goal of capturing the holy land and battling many different religions in holy war. The threats that we face in life are not these specific religions, but instead religion itself.  Not all the names of the victims have been released but the ones that are can be found on this link.

Racist School

This is just absurd. News stories like this make me cringe. Kymberly was excited to be her schools valedictorian. It is an honour to be your graduating class’s valedictorian. Her honour was taken away from her. If you haven’t read this story it is about Kymberly, a graduating student moving on to the next chapter in her life. She was set to be the first African-American to be named valedictorian at her school since 1989, which makes it a huge deal for her and a huge honour. Her school destroyed this honour when it was announced that Kymberly would have a co-valedictorian who was Caucasian and had a lower GPA. According to reports the school’s media specialist (who happens to be Kymberly’s mother) the school’s personnel was afraid the naming Kymberly valedictorian would cause a “big mess”

It is no longer 1950. It is 2011 and the fact that people are still racist angers me. Kymberly deserves this award because of her achievements academically and the fact that she has to share this award because a couple of people thought it would cause a mess is just absurd. She deserves to be the sole winner of this award. You’ll be glad to know that Kymberly and her mother have filed a lawsuit against the school and I hope that Kymberly and her Mother win.

Botox

In the old days if you looked in the mirror and saw wrinkles and aging skin you had no choice but to live with it and be accepting of the fact that you’re getting older. Getting older used to be respectable. Grey hairs and wrinkles were badges to show that you went through life and have experience and wisdom. Things have changed now. A guy with scrubs and a stethoscope will take needles filled with toxins and inject it in your face and one hour later the bones in your face will relax and smooth out those wrinkles. But wait there’s more. Not only can you make your face wrinkle free you can also inject Botox in your lips and get those plump lips much like the ones on Angelina Jolie. There’s no doubt Jolie is beautiful but do you really need to inject your face with Botox, can’t you just adopt a black baby instead? I get it, people want to look better and feel better about the way they look and it’s their right to buy it. Whatever happened to the days of liposuction, laser eye surgery or shaving off your eyebrows and using a cosmetic pencil and drawing a new one free-hand? I certainly don’t have the face of a GQ model but Botox isn’t even an option for me, I’d never touch the stuff. Then there are people who like Heidi Montag admitted to People Magazine in 2010 that she had 10 procedures done in one day that cost roughly $30,000. I’d been saving for two years after my first surgery. I knew it would be an investment for my career”. Looks like that failed, she is as irrelevant as ever. If you really want to use Botox than go ahead, what do I care, but don’t blame the doctor when you die of the toxins. Thanks but no thanks, I’ll keep my wrinkles and be proud of them. If I ever do want to get rid of them, I’ll use an iron.

Captain America Review


The story of the first avenger was a movie I couldn’t wait to see as it was the last of the avengers. Chris Evans plays Steve Rogers, a skinny kid from Brooklyn whose dream is to join the army. There’s just one problem, he’s 5 foot nothing and 90 pounds. As many of you know he gets picked to participate in the super soldier program where he is transformed into Captain America. The army sees him as an asset but not in combat. He is sent around the country performing songs to get people to buy bonds and support the war effort. After a trip to Europe to support the troops he hears about his best friend who may have died or been captured. Steve heads out to find him. He finds his friend along with 400 more soldiers that the villain (the red skull) has captured. From there we see Captain America leading his own troop on various missions to destroy hydra. Hydra is what the red skull is working on and it is basically a very powerful weapon that destroys everything. Captain America eventually fights the red skull and defeats him on a plane. The plane is headed to New York and will destroy much of the city so Rogers takes action into his own hands and crash lands the plane in the middle of no where. He wakes up 70 years later in present day New York under the supervision of none other than Nick Fury. The action in this movie was well done although they did use a lot of slow motion, which kind of annoyed me. The most interesting part of this movie was after the credits where we got to see The Avengers trailer. The trailer was very rough but it still looked promising. Overall the movie was a 7/10. 

Chris Brown needs therapy.

By: Hussein Mohamed
Let me tell you something about Chris Brown and guys like him. This guy is completely out of control. Ever since he beat up his girlfriend he’s been behaving recklessly. He went back to work made music and didn’t take responsibility for what he did. While doing a sit down interview with ABC’s Good Morning America, host Cookie Roberts treated Brown with such delicacy that she in a way was scared to even ask Brown the question everyone wants to ask him. Of course he refused to answer her questions and later on while he was in the green room, Brown snapped and trashed the room and broke the large glass windows. BET hosts didn’t even ask about the incident when Chris Brown made an appearance on 106 and park. This guy needs to see a therapist and get help for his problem. He is seriously in danger of ruining his life and career if he doesn’t get professional help. He has anger issues and issues with women. That’s the last thing an R&B singer needs to be identified with. Not to mention everyone loves Rihanna, she was just named Italian Vogue woman of the year. 

Mad Men style shows + Vampires for Tweens

By: Hussein Mohamed
Mad Men is a very popular show that has won numerous Golden Globes and Emmy awards. The show is geared toward a mature older audience much like HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Shows from a different era are very popular and are being produced more for television and movies. It’s as lucrative and entertaining to its fans as the vampire shows are popular towards tweens and young adults. Hollywood as adapted to the interest of the fans and they are raking in millions of dollars. That makes everyone happy. We get the shows that we love to watch; the networks get the return on their investments. What makes it sweeter is when a new show is created. Enter hostess and werewolf. 



Entourage Premiere!!


The boys are back! The eighth season of Entourage kicked off Sunday July 24 and it was a strong start to the season. This is a review so if you haven’t watched this episode this is going to ruin it for you! Season 7 was left at a huge cliffhanger with many unanswered questions. What happened to Vince and his addiction? What will happen to Ari’s marriage? How will Drama’s show do? What will Turtles business ventures turn in to? What will become of E and Sloane and the biggest one Will E be successful in taking down Murray?
You can see with all these question it was no surprise that season 8 was highly anticipated. Episode one provided a start to the answers to these questions. The episode starts with the new partners E and Scott talking to a new client. That’s right, E and Scott took Murray down. The new client is none other than Johnny Galecki from the hit TV show The Big Bang Theory. Bringing Galecki on was a surprise for me because I don’t know if he’ll fit in with the appeal of the show. You’ll know what I mean if you watch The Big Bang Theory. He plays a bit of a tough guy in Entourage but I can’t take him too seriously, however it is still early in the season so let’s see what happens! As for Vince he has checked out of rehab ready to work and he brings a movie idea with him. Drama has started his new cartoon “Johnny Banana’s” along side Andrew Dice-Clay and Turtle is well, Turtle. E’s marriage is now in shambles but it isn’t really clear why. My thought is it’s because Terrence (Sloane’s father) asked him to sign a prenuptial agreement.
In this episode we learn about Ari and his wife’s situation and there is a huge announcement on his wife’s part that destroys Ari. While this is happening we see the gang trying to keep Vince away from any drugs or alcohol and it frustrates Vince, he just wants to get back to being normal and not being treated any different than he used to. I think we’re seeing more of the human side of Ari Gold this season as well as a new and improved Vince. Season 8 is off to a great start and I can’t wait to see next week’s episode!

How PM Harper wins elections and how we can stop him.

By: Hussein Mohamed
In January 2006 Canadians elected Stephen Harper Prime Minister, the first conservative prime minister in 13 years. The liberal party lost the confidence of the people due to the sponsorship scandal that would in the later years linger and contribute to the party’s demise. Harper promised to get Canada’s fiscal house in order and create jobs and pass a budget plan that would help our economy. Canadian troops were already in Afghanistan assisting the U.S on the war on terror but, Harper’s intention was to have our troops control and commit to controlling southern Afghanistan mainly Kandahar, one of the most dangerous city in the world. With Canadian troops there all alone to control, our troops fought terrorism with bravery to allow the Afghan people to be free from tyranny and give them freedom and equality. With a great amount of troops on the ground fighting a defiant Al-Qaeda, 157 of our troops were killed including 4 civilians, 1 diplomat, and 1journalist. Their sacrifice will be remembered forever but, what we will also remember is the torture scandal that rocked parliament. Liberal and NDP critics blasted the prime minister claiming that he was hiding Afghan torture memos that gave the green light for Canadian troops to torture detainees in Afghan prisons in Kandahar. The memos, much like the ones George W. Bush destroyed were detailed accounts of soldiers water boarding and using “enhanced interrogation methods”. Torture of course is illegal under Canadian law, international law, and the Geneva conventions act. Harper said the allegations were baseless and partisan and that the memos will be handed to a federal judge who would review whether the defence minister and the prime minster broke laws to get detainees to give up information that could be used to capture terrorist cells. The memos had not been handed to the Judge in full not to mention it was highly redacted. The other parties decided not to pursue because the polls suggested that the Canadian public were not going to vote for the other parities if they focused on the memos instead of fixing the economy at home and lowering unemployment. Harper shut down parliament during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics because of political pressure. Once Ottawa reopened, party leaders focused on getting ready for the 2011 federal election. Harper painted Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff as liar who will raise taxes on people and ruin the country. They painted the Bloc leader as a divider who will only look out for Quebec’s interests. They painted the NDP leader as someone who doesn’t know how to fix the economy and will spend billions of dollars on programs that Canadians can’t afford to pay for. It worked and Harper won a majority government. The conservatives acquired 166 seats, the NDP 103, the liberals a disappointing 34 essentially switching places with the NDP losing the opposition status, and the Bloc gained a total of 4 seats. The new parliament was seated last month and now these new members will run our government with the objectives of balancing the budget and creating jobs. If we as Canadians don’t succumb to the tricks of this conservative government, we have an opportunity to go after the memos and bring this to light because it’s the right thing to do. We can’t ever forget what was done in Kandahar. Canadians don’t want to use our military as a body that tortures people. We spend $7 billion a year in Afghanistan to fight terrorism; the Canadian press must do their jobs as a government watchdog and pursue this until we learn the facts. We must send a message to the world that we are not the United States, we are better than them and that we only use our military for good not evil. More importantly we need to send a message to Harper that we will not stand for cover-ups and corruption and that he and his government will be accountable for their actions. I think the other party leaders understand that now that Harper has a majority government they’re will to pursue this is more important than their political goals to gain more power in Ottawa. If the NDP want Jack Layton or another NDP leader to be elected as PM they must first allow Harper to govern. Let us, the people at the grassroots level tell you when it’s time for an election. Attacking Harper in parliament 3 on 1 is not going to do anything but make Harper look innocent. Instead allow him to lead on all federal matters and work with them to meet their goals. If they fail, which they will, that is when you attack. That is how you win in politics; make Harper take responsibility for a failed economy and high unemployment.  I’m not saying that we can’t get positive bills passed or progress but that it’s highly unlikely to happen. If the conservatives could persuade the country for more power under these circumstances both fiscally and socially. Then we the people must be smarter than our American counterparts and realize what 8 years of conservative rule did for the United States. Things have gotten worse under Harper and we can’t let him destroy our values. If the other parties can’t comprehend how to take him down politically then we can and we will, it’s happened before and it can happen again. We have something the politicians don’t have, the news media. If Canadians paid attention to political news as much as hockey and in turn demanded the press to be better, Harper would have lost the election at best, at worst kept a minority government. Harper knows as long as he can keep it 3 on 1 he will always win in the end. When Harper wins we all lose except the banks, oil companies, billionaires and millionaires. They don’t lose, they win big. I’m not okay with that, I want to see progress for the middle class; I want to see investments in education and infrastructure. We have to tell Harper you may have won the election but we want progress for the middle class, and we demand to see the memos and we aren’t going anywhere.
