They also want to know why Crawford picked Bourque in the ’98 shoot-out
Gack! Even when I try for some leisure net browsing, I can’t escape politics. I did about 5 double takes on NHL.com when I saw this headline: Parliamentary committee summons Hockey Canada over Doan’s captaincy Good grief. Hopefully they’ll also voice their displeasure over the starting goalie selection, penalty killing tactics, and line combinations being […]

Defense Pool
If you’re like me and your hockey pool isn’t going great, why not try your luck at the “Gordon O’Connor shuffle pool”. Simply pick who the next Minister of Defense will be and when the shuffle will occur and I will use some arbitrary method to pick a winner. And if you think Harper is […]

"By now, we’ve got to get used to Ralphisms"
Just when you thought the guy was gone for good, Ralph Klein in back in the news: However, Klein said Sunday that people misheard him during his heavily improvised three-minute speech. He had actually been speaking about a protected parks area near Rocky Mountain House from which a documentary film crew was banned. As premier, […]

Just In
Justin Trudeau has squeaked out the Papineau Liberal nomination with a first ballot win. Good news in my opinion. The LPC could use some young blood, and Justin’s star power makes up for the loss of Belinda. Best of all, it gets a true hard line federalist in the Quebec caucus (if he wins…). As […]

A Fortnight to Forget
Stephen Harper hasn’t had many bad days since becoming Prime Minister but, boy, the last two weeks have been tough ones for him.

The Foreign Affairs department also […]

Take Two
The second Liberal Ad is similar to the first, adding the Al Gore glacier, a cute baby, and a few words from Stephane Dion.

Bag ‘O Links
-Lots of Afghanistan news. The Liberal motion to set February 2009 as the withdrawal date will be voted down tonight thanks to the NDP even though 2/3 of Canadians agree with it. Gordon O’Connor, meanwhile, is in trouble for the treatment of prisoners, and Dion has some egg on his face for an odd proposal. […]
