Numb3rs
The latest Census figures are out, and for those who enjoy looking at those sorts of things, the Globe does a good job of breaking it down. Oh, and in a completely unrelated story, Pat Martin is predicting the death of the NDP: Martin said his party must make significant gains in the federal election […]

Monday News Roundup
Daveberta has the run down on the new legislative session in Edmonton and the performance of Mr. Ed thus far. Speaking of which, Stelmach says he’s not ready to pick a fight with Ottawa over the new equalization scheme but I’m guessing Danny Williams won’t be quite so nice. There weren’t many leaks for the […]

Wrapping Up The Green Font Series
Original QuestionsWhy did it become an issue?How big an issue is it, really?Can the Greens actual get votes? The Globe & Mail may still have 97 parts left in their Environmental series but I’ll be wrapping mine up today.

Tonight
For those out West or for those who enjoy watching the never ending National reruns all night long on Newsworld, yours truly is on tonight, talking about Stephane Dion.

Gaffes All Around
I generally tend to think that “Boisclair under fire for candidate’s genocide remarks” is not a headline you want in the midst of a campaign. The actual story isn’t quite as bad as the headline makes it sound but still…eek! This is certainly turning into a fun election to follow. If you like politics, it’s […]

Only in Quebec…
The leader of the most (only?) federalist party in the province states the obvious that Quebec could be divisible following a “oui” vote. And everyone considers it a gaffe. Welcome to the weird world of Quebec politics…

In The News
A few tid-bits: First off, there’s Elizabeth Thompson reminding us what Harper was saying about the Quebecois circa 1995 (h/t Wells). Given that Lawrence Cannon is allowed to change his mind on this topic several time within a span of minutes, I’ll cut Steve some slack and not hold him to what he said 12 […]

The World According to Garth
I remember thinking to myself over the weekend, “gosh, it’s been a few days since Garth Turner has said anything”. Well, luckily, this week’s Hill Times gave all the Garth junkies out there their Garthy fix. On the front page, is a story about Garth predicting the next election (May 28th). Inside, they also have […]
