A few thoughts in anticipation of the government’s imminent collapse.
-Luckily the BQ has found an issue, other than Adscam to run on! This one comes from an alert reader. On the front page of the BQ site, you’ll find what is probably the lamest attack of this election: (in french, of course)
“Young Liberals encourage energy waste”
Montreal, 26 Nov 2005 – While environmentalists meet in Montreal, the Youth Commission of the Liberal Party of Canada, Quebec section, encourages its members, through a competition on its website, to waste energy by decorating their homes with as many red lights as possible.
“Once more, the Liberals prove to us that their words don’t match their actions,” said Chantale Bouchard, president of the Youth Forum of the Bloc Quebecois (FJBQ). “While we try to be conscious of and change the habits of Quebecers, the Young Liberals of Paul Martin encourage overconsumption,” added the FJBQ president.
-CTV’s election blog is up here. They’ll be taking the feed of several blogs, including the Progressive Bloggers.
-Michael Ignatieff will be running for the Liberals (as reported here last Wednesday!) in Etobicoke Lakeshore. It seems like some members of the Ukrainian community are a little peeved but, honestly, when you’ve spent a lifetime discussing ethnic conflicts, you’ll inevitably piss a few people off along the way.
That said. It’s a little disingenuous for Paul to claim he isn’t appointing anyone this time around. He’s simply not signing the nomination papers of anyone who isn’t the chosen candidate in many ridings, leading to de facto nominations. And most people can see through it.
–Political Staples, Let it Bleed, Sinister Thoughts, and James Bow have banded together to do a weekly bloggers podcast of the election. You can check it out on James’ site here.
–Some bloggers are already up in arms over the grant this blog has received. No word yet on what he thought about Paul’s Sunday address a few weeks back.
-Speaking of Sunday, Paul got booed at the big game last night. Just be grateful the Grey Cup wasn’t in Calgary this year.
-I’ll make my election predictions sometime this week but here’s my bold predictions for Alberta:
