There’s a bit of buzz today about the fractures forming in the Conservative Party, with the splinter “homeless Conservatives” group threatening to rip the party apart. Scanning their website (brightly decorated with stars and stripes), one quickly notices that this movement is a force to reckoned with. Already, they have recruited dozens of supporters. Admittedly, […]

Yes, he’s a Conservative. More distressingly, he’s a Bruins fan. But I always kind of liked Monte Solberg.

I’ll admit that my understanding of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party is minimal […]

The Liberals have launched a new website, www.onprobation.ca, to document Harper’s mis-management of the economy. The site contains videos from Ignatieff and many of his MPs (at least those MPs who have never been Premier of Ontario during a recession) explaining the Liberal economic philosophy. It also has news stories, timetables, graphs, and that sort […]
