Former MP Dennis Mills has written a letter to Stephen Harper, warning against the decentralization of Canada. To be honest, Harper’s decentralization agenda is the only real plank of his platform that I’m “worried” about, should he get in. I’d encourage everyone out there who believes in a strong, central government to think twice about […]

Worst Liberal Party Results Ever (popular vote) 5. Lester B. Pearson (1962) 36.97%4. Paul Martin (2004) 36.7%3. Lester B. Pearson (1958) 33.40%2. John Turner (1988) 31.92%1. John Turner (1984) 28.02% On that topic, I’ve just finished off “The Big Red Machine“, and I must say it’s well worth the read. I thought I’d include a […]

The Liberals have disowned their Abbotsford candidate over allegations he attempted to bribe the NDP candidate to drop out. Considering how safe Abbotsford is for the Tories, it boggles my mind why Dave Oliver would even bother. On the bright side for the Liberals, they’ve gone on the attack against the Tory platform which has […]

Back in 2003 when everyone was walking around the Air Canada Centre in Toronto predicting Paul Martin’s juggernaut would win 200 seats, I never realized that they were talking about his two election combined total.

After the “Duffy versus Duffy” incident, and John Duffy’s seconding of Scott Reid’s beer and popcorn remarks, my mind wandered back to a post Paul Wells wrote at the start of the campaign: I don’t know anyone who dislikes John Duffy, although having said that I suspect I’m now going to hear from them. Still, […]

Andrew Coyne has a poll up, asking who the Liberal mole is. It’s pretty funny stuff.

At least the fears that no one would talk about the NDP over the final days of the campaign won’t materialize. I imagine this should get Jack a bit of press.

It seems a few other people are starting to worry about a Tory majority government…Conservatives. It actually makes sense. A Harper majority means: 1. Martin leaves cleanly, without trying to stick around.2. He’ll be expected to follow through on his entire platform.3. He won’t be able to use the minority government excuse for “shifting to […]

TORONTO – (CP): Paul Martin upped the rhetoric today, promising to implement a national ban on lightsabers. This follows recent policy announcements by the Liberals to ban (already banned) handguns, as well as to ban weapons in space. “This is another example of the fundamental differences between myself and Stephen Harper.” said the Prime Minister […]

Democratic Space has a very comprehensive strategic voting guide. As a Liberal in Alberta, my advice for strategic voting is to: a) Move to Edmonton Centreb) Pray for an Act of God on election day But if you’re lucky enough to live in a politically heterogeneous province, this guide could be useful.
