Calgary Grit

Speaking of a Conservative Cabinet, I think it’s safe to say Myron Thompson won’t be a member. The best use of Harper’s time right now would be to call up his candidates one by one and tell them to zip it.

About this. It sounds like the guy was misquoted if you read the original story. His campaign manager defected to help the Tories so that the riding can get a Cabinet Minister. The Liberal candidate apparently “understands” his former campaign manager’s motives but is staying in the race and still would like people to vote […]

Two points on the conspiracy theory front: 1. I’m a little uneasy by Harper’s implication over the past few days that the judiciary isn’t independent. Remember, Harper will have at least one SCC seat to fill during his time as PM and if he’s obsessed about partisan judges, I’m a little worried he might appoint […]

CTV starts off on the Cabinet musings. Among their predictions which I’m fairly sure we’ll see are MacKay to Justice, Lawrence Cannon as Deputy PM, and Monte Solberg as Foreign Affairs (which is going to make for very interesting blogging). It’s probably too early to speculate, with the Ontario and Quebec numbers up in the […]

…come your January 24th talking points: 1. It’s Jean Chretien’s fault2. It’s the RCMP’s fault3. It’s Warren Kinsella’s fault4. It’s the media’s fault5. It’s the mole’s fault

With that in mind, here are a few random thoughts I have on the election: 1. When talking about his virtual elimination of the capital gains tax today, […]

In Calgary, truth be told, your vote doesn’t really matter. There’s no such thing as strategic voting so it’s symbolic above all else. Because of that, I’ve been giving a bit of thought as to how I’d vote. Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know that I’m not a big fan of Junior and […]

Umm…vote separatist to save the country? I’ll give him marks for originality.

Holy Crap. Tonight’s CTV poll numbers are downright shocking after Ekos and SES showed the race narrowing. Gregg has the race narrowing…the race for third place in the House, between Martin and Layton. No link as of yet: CPC 42Lib 24 In Quebec, the Tories are up to 31%, with the Grits at 12%. 12%? […]
