A few links worth checking out: 1. Andrew at Bound by Gravity has launched Cancov. Basically, the goal of the system is to classify all the posts on the net together. So, for example, if you wanted to see everything bloggers are writing about Stephen Harper or Health Care, the posts would all be grouped […]

Via Daveberta, comes this (troubling/frustrating/useless/glorious) news that Ralph Klein is planning to stay on until the fall of 2007. With at least half a dozen leadership candidates vying for the cushiest political job in Canada, one imagines things are going to get very testy between the candidates if Ralph does decide to stick around for […]

It’s official. Canada becomes the fourth country in the world to recognize Same Sex Marriage. I guess this means Canada is in for the same social chaos and anarchy that the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain have had to live with.

In all the excitement over the Village People incident in Calgary (“it’s fun to stay at S-T-O-R-N-A-W-A-Y!”), I missed Harper’s stop last week in Barrie, Ontario. Luckily for Canadians everywhere, the Conservative Party website is keeping people up to date on Harper’s summer adventures at their far less cleverly named “Summer Tour ’05” page. The […]

God bless pollsters for throwing some fodder to bloggers during the dog days of summer. Two polls came out this weekend which, while not overly surprising, are likely worth talking about (at least until Harper’s next trip to the tickle trunk). Allan Gregg’s Saturday poll reconfirms what everyone has known for a long time. Mainly, […]

For any Conservatives afraid Canadians wouldn’t be interested in Harper’s summer image makeover, it looks like people have taken qutie an interest in Mr.Harper.

It’s a warm day in July during Stampede and I don’t have the heart for a serious political discussion. So, instead, let’s have a bit of fun. 1. Top Comments for the Stephen Harper Picture(These are all courtesy of Comments, this site, and Cerberus) 10. Now, to stay one step ahead of the backlash backlash: […]

I must say I was quite disappointed today. I’d heard that Harper would be flipping pancakes at two breakfasts in Calgary this week and was expecting a lot of material for the Glad as Hell Tour updates. But I have yet to see any news stories recapping the events. Then, lo and behold, Warren digs […]

Well, as much fun as it will no doubt be over the next week to watch Paul Martin dance around Klein’s health reforms, I suppose it’s only fair to examine them and see just how scary they really are. In typical Klein fashion, everything is very vague: The two politicians stressed that the discussion paper […]

I’ll have more thoughts on Ralph Klein’s “third way” once I take a look at all the details. For now, I thought, I’d bring back this little blast from the past: “Well, unlike Stephen Harper, I do care…. And unlike Stephen Harper, I will look Ralph Klein in the eye and I will say ‘no,’ […]
