The Bloc have some fun videos up of Jean Lapierre on their website. Fun because:a) He’s got a goofy mustacheb) He’s talking about sovereignty Update: Wells has a good post on Lapierre up. Also, the NDP take aim at the Liberal commercials. You see, it turns out the “ordinary Canadians” in them are all prominent […]

(Very Important Update At Bottom…Scroll Down) I’m a little hesitant to post this since I can’t, for the life of me, imagine why something like this would be leaked to Medisys. If there was a leak (and it looks like there was), I always assumed it was because of negligence, or because some low level […]

Remember back when Jean Chretien lectured the Americans on the benefits of running surpluses? Remember how upset everyone got? Remember how everyone said it would be different once Paulie took over? Well it is. Our Prime Minister has gone from lecturing the US in areas where Canada excels, to lecturing the US in areas where […]

(Cross-Posted to the CTV Weblog) The NDP are nice. They are a nice party full of nice people with good intentions. Ed is a nice man, Jack is a nice man, Jack’s wife seems like a nice lady. They poh-pah the Tories and Liberals for engaging in all out war, preferring to be respectful of […]

For anyone who hasn’t already noticed, CTV has set up “blogger banter” on their website for the rest of this election.

PoliticsWatch has yet to come out with their PM Picker for this election, but the CBC has a “vote by issue” poll up on their site. They ask you a series of questions and then match you up to the party you agree with the most. I took the quiz, and agreed with Layton on […]

There are some really close races for the Canadian Blog Awards this year, so I encourage everyone to get out and vote on this, the last day of voting. Think of it as practice for voting on January 23rd…except you don’t have to walk through the cold to a polling station. And there are actually […]

SES proves more baffling by the day. The Liberals now have a stunning 40-26 lead in the SES poll. They’re up by 20 in Ontario, and the two parties are neck and neck in Western Canada. What’s more surprising is that the daily Gregg poll in the Globe has the two parties within 5 or […]

(Warning: I know this is going to generate 50 comments from angry right wingers) I’m in shock. Paul Martin has come out with a policy that is:a) boldb) smartc) politically savvy I was beginning to worry that the entire Liberal platform would consist of extending current policies to 2030 and re-announcing projects which had already […]
