Great Moments in Spin II
If I’m going to hit Stelmach, I guess it’s only fair to hit his nemesis too. From Mayor Dave Bronconnier’s letter to Calgarians: “Until Thursday, April 19, I was hoping to be able to send you a list of the much-needed infrastructure projects The City of Calgary would be fast-tracking, projects that would have enabled […]

Great Moments in Spin
EDMONTON – Premier Ed Stelmach isn’t surprised by a recent poll showing his support slipping, particularly in the province’s two largest cities. “There’s a lot of pressures on Alberta today,” Stelmach said Tuesday. “Anything from taking longer to get to work because of congested roads, to issues tied to housing, more people moving to the […]

"I’m a Liberal. And I’m a PC…"
Since my fellow libloggers are being shy about posting the new YLC ads, and everyone probably missed them yesterday, I figured I’d toss them up here. Bottom line – they’re clever and funny, which is what you want in a viral ad campaign.

Stephane Dion is not a hero. You know who is a hero? Hiro. From Heroes.
Unable to break into majority government territory, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have turned to the burning issue on everyone’s mind this spring…yes…Senate Reform! An exciting series of new ads attack Dion for…zzzz…..sorry, I’m already sleepy just thinking about the topic. That’s right, apparently Liberal Senators are delaying Harper’s Senate Reform Bill. Uh-oh. If this doesn’t spur […]

In the interests of bipartisanship…
As President of the Alberta Young Liberals, I would just like to take this opportunity to help the Alberta Young Tories get a little publicity. Far too often, youth are too partisan and unwilling to work together, but I firmly believe that by helping each other, we can all benefit. Anyways, here’s the top story […]

Political Suicide
So Jean Charest is ready to die on the hill fighting for a tax cut that 70% of Quebecers are against? Uh-huh. Yeah right. I’m pretty sure the guy is gonna blink on this one.

It appears that Canada’s longest serving Premier is going down to defeat in PEI. Although young leaders have been flamming out across the country, 33 year old Robert Ghiz will be taking over as PEI’s Premier. So, for those keeping score on your 2007 election ballot, that gives incumbents a 2-1 record so far. (That […]

Free Alberta
Since fringe parties and fringe movements are one of my personal political interests, I was, of course, overjoyed to come across the Free Alberta website. While I’m hesitant to direct any traffic to their site and boost their google ad revenue, there are just too many great things on this website to pass up posting […]

Poulet
An interesting game of chicken is developing in Quebec, with both the ADQ and PQ promising to vote against Charest’s budget over the fiscal imbalance solving tax cuts. I’m sure someone will blink in this one, probably Charest, since a defeat at this point would probably mean Mario Dumont taking over as Premier. Of course, […]

Random Thoughts on the MMP Ontario Referendum
1929. The year above was the last time the Tories got more votes in Ontario than the Liberal and NDP cumulative vote. Just thought I’d toss that out there.
