Tax Attack
They defined Dion before the Liberals could and now the Tories have set out to define Dion’s carbon tax before the Liberals can. Which is fair enough since Dion has yet to announce the specifics of his plan. Yesterday, the Conservatives showed typical governing party maturity with this online story, which I can only assume […]

DION LIBERALS MUST EXPLAIN THEIR TOTAL INVOLVEMENT IN THE CADMAN AFFAIR Follow the link and you’ll find 5 questions the Conservatives are “demanding” be answered. I agree -answers are needed.

It’s not over until the lady in the pantsuit says it is
Tonight will be “clinching night” for Obama, effectively ending the most exciting nomination race in US history. Whether or not Hillary acknowledges that remains to be seen. I’ll have updates here throughout the evening as the results roll in and the speeches are made. One expects talk will now turn towards finding a vice-presidential nominee […]

Alexa McDonough…
…announces her retirement from politics. Being a former NDP leader, one presumes this is just to set up her “comeback” in 5 or 10 years. I’m not familiar with the local dynamics, but one would imagine that this puts Halifax into play: 2006 Halifax Election ResultsMcDonough (NDP) 46.9%MacKinnon (Lib) 30.9%House (Con) 18%Wright (Green) 3.9%Seed (ML) […]
