Calgary Grit

Dear Stephen, Given that Tom Flanagan and your other strategists are prone to telling you things like “maybe we should hold a victory march down central Alberta to wrap up the election”, I thought you could use a little free advice. And here it is: GO NOW! Don’t wait. Don’t hesitate. None of this wimpy […]

Well, that was actually fairly quick – and probably smart of Jack to wait until Monday so that he could control the news cycle. Ladies and gentlemen, we could very well be into an election campaign in 9 days time. The ball is now in Harper’s court – I’ll have more on this tonight, but […]

The title says it all.

The full breakdown of the latest Allan Gregg poll is now on-line here. I’ll post more on this in the coming days, but for the time being I’m not as positive that we won’t see an election call this year as some people. There are a lot of reasons for the NDP and Conservatives to […]

Let me get this straight. Our Governor General is best buddies with an FLQ member and no one cares. She appears in a documentary toasting to Quebec independence and no one cares. But she cracks a few jokes about Andre Boisclair and suddenly she has crossed the line? (*CalgaryGrit smacks head against computer desk repeatedly*)

The NDP has a pretty funny poll up on their website that’s definitely worth a look. Taking a cue from the steps others have taken in the past to stack NDP web polls, I’m encouraging everyone to go vote for Grant Mitchell on the final question, in an effort to finally give an Alberta Liberal […]

Given this: Liberal 31%CPC 30%NDP 19%BQ 13% How long before Dosanj caves completely on private health care? I give him about 5 hours. At this point, Layton could probably get the Liberals to nationalize the banks if they asked for it…

For once, I’ve managed to scoop the Globe & Mail on a PMO leak. Last evening, I received a brown envelope with the transcript of Paul’s radio broadcast he will deliver this Sunday. I’ve re-printed the text bellow: “My fellow Canadians: We have finally gotten to the bottom of this horrible, horrible scandal, that has […]

So Alfonso Gagliano is apparently considering a return to politics. Since he’s been banned from the Liberal Party, he would, obviously, be running as an independent. However, I feel that Gagliano shouldn’t stop there. Idependents rarely get election and Gagliano clearly has the resources to start up his own party. I really think it’s time […]

First, Gilles Duceppe boycotts the press gallery dinner because his act has fallen flat in past years and he doesn’t enjoy being mocked. Now, André Boisclair is upset that Michaelle Jean used this year’s dinner to crack a joke about him. Is it just me or does it seem like separatists have no sense of […]
