It’s the day after the morning after and the parties must now reflect on the campaign that was and look ahead to 2012. I’d rather look ahead than look back but I would like to just say that, despite the constant “Stelmach defied polls and pundits“, the polls were correct (with one exception). The undecideds […]

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw this blog post title while scanning Liblogs this morning: Vindictive God Crushes Huckabee’s Hopes

I’ve been too caught up in the Ed-Files election to pay much attention to the goings-on in Ottawa over the past few days but, boy, have there ever been goings on!
