Somebody misses his old job
Poilevre gets read to slam McGuinty tomorrow. Flaherty continues his assault today: TORONTO — Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty took the extraordinary step yesterday of denouncing Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty’s management of the economy just hours before the unveiling of the provincial budget. Mr. Flaherty did not say anything he hasn’t already said in recent […]

Je Me Souviens?
If you want evidence of how quickly the media narrative can turn on you, look no further than Jack Layton. The man was praised far and wide for his historic Quebec breakthrough in Outremont last fall. It was only the second Quebec seat won in NDP history and was a sign that the party was […]

For those who thought "yes we can" lacked substance…
I had some fun with the US Presidential race earlier this week. But on a serious note, everyone should take the time to listen to or read this speech by Barack Obama, broken down by Joe Klein here. I started the youtube video on Tuesday night and ended up watching all forty minutes of it. […]

Tories are a Sham, Grits hope to Rock
(that was the best of the comments section…although a strong showing by the Greens will certainly prompt an edit) 8:00 pm: Eight o’clock and the polls are now clos…what’s that? Apparently, there is a concern that thousands of Vancouver Quadrans will log onto the net to see if Martha did or did not win, and […]

Be Nice To Me…
…or I might go on strike! On Friday, it got to be too much for Alegre, a diarist on the flagship liberal blog DailyKos, who frequently writes in support of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. “I’ve put up with the abuse and anger because I’ve always believed in what our online community has tried to accomplish […]

Byelection Monday
First of all, I’m somewhat disappointed in myself that I couldn’t think up a witty St. Patrick’s day themed post title related to tomorrow’s byelections. Regardless, after the Outremont disaster in the fall, people will be playing close attention to these four byelections. The common media consensus is that the Liberals will coast to easy […]
