It’s Getting Hot in Here… On my tour of the Canadian right yesterday, I gathered reaction from a few of the blogs I mentioned briefly. I guess that’s one of the problems of hitting such hot button topics in a single paragraph. So, in fairness to what were some well developed arguments, I’m going to […]

MIA MLAs Courtesy of Tom Olsen, here are the number of days missed during last spring’s 43 day legislative session by Alberta MLAs. So who were the worst truants? Ken Nicol, Lib 23 (announced retirement in January to run federally) Marlene Graham, PC 16 (retired) Hung Pham, PC 15 Moe Amery, PC 11 Ralph Klein, […]

Crossfire One good thing about the Blog Awards (our campaign motto here: “Vote CalgaryGrit – as a Calgary Liberal he never wins anything!”) going on right now is that it gives people a chance to get a look at some blogs they might have been oblivious to in the past. So I decided to glance […]

Don’t Let The Door Hit You… 2005 is off to a great start! Given that Paul Cellucci never spoke ill of Canada, I will bite my tongue and not criticize the rodent as he departs. I will also hold off on any criticism of Tucker Carlson who, along with Crossfire, is exiting stage right. Boy, […]

Housekeeping First of all, I’ve updated my links section. I axed any blogs that hadn’t been updated in the past month (including Andrew Coyne who is a manic depressive when it comes to his blog) and divided the links up. If I overlooked any blogs, let me know and I’ll add them. I also added […]

Grities As 2004 comes to a close, I thought I’d do one of those useless, yet somewhat fun year in review awards that everyone likes to roll out at this time of the year. The award title still needs work, but here are my picks for the best and worst of 2004: Nuclear Cockroach Award […]

Calling All Bloggers! I’ll be updating my links shortly so if you have a high quality blog (or, heck, mediocre quality will do) or know of one, post a link to it in the comments section or e-mail me. If you’ve e-mailed me about adding a link in the past month or so, I’ll add […]

Merry Christmas Not sure how many updates I’ll put up over the holidays because, even without the NHL, there are other things that need to be done. It’s been a busy year politically and we can all use the break. Two things before I hit the eggnog: 1. Paul Wells picked up on my post […]

Democratic Deficit Now that most of the Calgary area ridings have had their annual AGMs and delegate selection meetings for the LPCA and Biennial conventions, I figured I’d post a few interesting observations. As you probably know, under the Liberal Party of Canada constitution, a leadership review has to be held at the upcoming Biennial […]
