  • Liberal Speed Dating Helps Voters Make Their Choice

    While the sit-down interview format of the last “debate” served as a nice introduction, the timid questions served up by Harvey Locke didn’t give us any sense of how the candidates would perform in the heat of an election campaign. Saturday, we were treated to a series of short two-way and three-way debates, with many […]

  • Liberals One-on-One

    My mind has been on the Ontario Liberal leadership race the past few months, so I’ll admit to not having paid close attention to the federal contest. Not wanting to feel left out the next time a lively debate over Karen McCrimmon’s proposals on income tax reform breaks out at a dinner party, I decided […]

  • Liberal Leadership Pool

  • An update on all the people MAYBE running for Liberal leadership

    The expectation is that rules for the Liberal leadership race will come down in June, setting the stage for a summer of getting to know the men and women wanting to lead Canada’s third party. But while we won’t know the rules of the race for another month or two, that hasn’t limited speculation in […]
