Calgary Grit

I’ll be updating this as the ethics committee continues to grill Mulroney – not as frantically as Kady O’Malley, but updates will be forthcoming. From what I’ve seen so far, Brian is certainly in fine form – despite his age, he’s still an all-star at this. Among the highlights so far: -“My biggest mistake in […]

-This is kind of cool – Stephane Dion blogging from Bali. –Radwanski is right on the money here. There needs to be some sort of degree of presumed innocence among Parliamentarians because, if scantilycladwomangate has taught us anything, the wild accusations being tossed around are starting to get way out of hand. -Also via AR, […]

Mr. Smith is out of Washington…with a six figure severance package, despite leaving his posting early by his own choosing. Man, I would totally be gunning for that job if it wasn’t for the fact that you need to be a Tory Cabinet Minister to get it. Also out is Minister of Finance Lyle Oberg […]

Finally, we understand why James Moore is deemed less competent for a Cabinet position than Gordon O’Connor, Michael Fortier, or Jason Kenney – he’s a pervert. Yes, NDP MP Irene Mathyssen, has dropped the bombshell that I can only imagine will splash across the front page of the Globe & Mail tomorrow morning. Rather than […]

So Luc Lavoie is out and NDP spinster Robin Sears is in as Mulroney’s spokesman. Not a good sign given how long Lavoie has been spinning for his old friend… You’ve got to wonder if this has something to do with Lavoie’s comments on the fifth estate special from February ’06: “There never was any […]
