Calgary Grit

It’s really hard to know what to make out of Stephen Harper’s new makeover. I suppose the most obvious conclusion to draw is that Harper will be staying on to lead the Conservatives in the next election. This in itself isn’t too surprising although I’d been warming up to the theory that Harper might quietly […]

Bishop Henry has a new ally.

With the floods in Calgary, the Herald ran a pretty funny cartoon today I just had to post. Click on the imagine for the full sized version. Ouch!

T0m Olsen wrote up his MLA report cards in today’s Herald. With all the hijinx in Ottawa I haven’t been following the legislature as closely as usual this session, so I won’t critique his rankings that closely, except to say I think he was a little hard on the the three Calgary Liberal MLAs.

Bourque is on his game again today, reporting on the mis-speak that will be sure to launch a thousand one-liners. Martin: “Forget it buddy, Boudria is getting into Cabinet before you… “ (hat tip to the alert reader who sent this in with the caption)

In a noble gesture today, Paul Martin has called on the opposition parties to put aside ‘partisan’ politics and…umm…pass his agenda.

He also is expected to […]

After going after the Conservatives yesterday for making same sex marriage their top issue, I feel it’s only fair to lambast the Liberals for dropping it way down their list of priorities.

I know Conservatives are upset about a lot of things the Liberals are doing. Now, with this news, we can finally get a sense of their relative outrage. So, for those keeping score, the Conservative Party is more upset at the prospect of two dudes marrying in Alberta, New Brunswick or PEI, than they are […]

In a very bizarre QP today, Paul Martin responded to a question by tabling the “South Beach Diet” and telling Stephen Harper he should take a look at it. I’m dead serious. The same person who called on Stephen Harper “to resume respectful dialogue” in the House called him fat in Question Period. I’m not […]
