And people thought Christian Paradis wouldn’t be able to handle Public Affairs – it seems he has taken the torch from Michael Fortier and…refused to make the torch public until a take out the trash day comes along: OTTAWA — Ottawa’s advertising budget doubled to more than $80-million in the first full year of the […]

Paul McCartney to jet back to England because: “I like […]

Monday, I mulled over some of the arguments against changing the name of the Alberta Liberal Party. Today, I look at some of the arguments in favour of changing the name (or creating a new party), and toss in my two cents. 1. “After 87 years of losing, it’s time to try something new.” When […]
