The Montreal Conference
The predictable media reaction to this weekend’s thinkers conference has begun, with Greg Weston attacking the Liberals for: a) Not “articulating an alternative other than the fact they are not Stephen Harper and the Conservatives”. b) Holding a policy conference to find this alternative. *CG smacks head on table* Expect more of that over the […]

Bring on the Death Panels
Obama’s Health Care package passes 219-212. You know, despite all the talk we get about guns, foreign policy, and abortion, Health Care remains one of the largest value divides between Canada and the United States. Because the “leftist” and “socialist” Health Care bill the US passed doesn’t even come remotely close to the “two tier” […]

Great Moments in Abundantly Obvious Irony
Mike Duffy says some students ‘brainwashed’ Senator Mike Duffy isn’t backing down on his criticisms of the University of King’s College and other Canadian journalism programs, saying he “dared to show a little spotlight on some of the bias in the media.” Last weekend, Duffy delivered a speech to local Conservatives in Amherst criticizing journalism […]

The End of 10-Percenters?
It may be the end of an era in Ottawa, as MPs have voted to trash 10-percenters. Sadly Canadians may need to turn to other sources to find out about Michael Ignatieff’s secret coalition plans, and what who Stephen Harper is trying to kill. MPs have voted to put a stop to the practice of […]

Drugs are bad…Marijuana’s bad…mmkay….
Michael Ignatieff shows he can relate to the kids these days: “If I had to tell you as a parent or as someone who has spent his whole life working with young people, the last darn thing I want you to be doing is smoking marijuana,” the federal Liberal leader said. “I want you to […]

Somewhere, Stephane Dion is smiling
Harper’s pre-taped YouTube interview is late getting started – now 15 minutes and counting… UPDATE: And the video is up! Harper goes with the suit and tie, which strikes me as a bit formal for a YouTube video. Yeah, yeah, I’m not expecting torn jeans and a Hannah Montana t-shirt, but maybe he could have […]

Provincial Uprising
Angus Reid has updated their Premier approval numbers from November and it’s not rosy – only 2 of the 10 Premiers crack the 30% approval barrier. And suddenly, Stephen Harper’s underwhelming poll numbers start looking a lot more whelming by comparison. The man has struggled of late and may spend his life chasing an unobtainable […]

This Week in Alberta – The Toboggan Ride Ends
Environics released a new poll yesterday, similar to their numbers from October: PC – 34% (nc)WRA – 30% (+2%)ALP – 23% (+3%)NDP – 10% (+1%)Green – 2% (-6%) So no real changes – my suspicion is the now-deregistered Greens were prompted as an option on the October survey but weren’t in this one. This is, […]

Gilles Duceppe Woos the Ethnic Vote
“That means that Canada can continue to impose its multicultural ideology, the old Trudeau ideology, on Quebec.” –Gilles Duceppe, in the House of Commons yesterday.

Maybe his assistant can play him in the movie…
I don’t have a lot of time for MPs who run attack ads against their opponents during elections for being soft on drugs, then get busted for possession of white powdery substances. But I tend to agree with Misters Radwanski and Steele on this one – Jaffer got off easier than he should have, but […]
