  • Quick Hits -Today is the last day to vote for the Blog of the Year. There are a lot of close races out there and while I’m positive this blog won’t win, Calgary Liberals are all about the moral victories! So get out and vote! Sean Icognito, who is my choice for best new blog, […]

  • Sgro’s No-No I always find it odd when someone resigns and says they did nothing wrong. I mean, we have a new and improved ethics commissioner. Surely if Judy Sgro and Paul Martin believed she deserved to keep her job, she would have stuck it out until his report. If they believed she’d done something […]

  • Lots of Ink Paul Wells must be snowed in today with his jazz records broken. Either that, or he’s making a last gasp push to win blog of the year. He’s gone on a mad posting spree and put up 10, count ‘em, 10, posts today. Among the highlights: 1. In depth discussions on Pepe […]

  • Doing His Job The volume of praise for Conservatives on this blog is no doubt fleeting. And I’m positive I have never said nice things about a Conservative Premier here before. But after reading this story, I’ve got to give full marks to John Hamm. Instead of throwing a hissy fit, flinging insults, and taking […]

  • Private Klein This blog’s top newsmaker of 2004 is off and running in 2005, grabbing headlines with new talk about private health care. He didn’t reveal the details but he’s said it will push the bounds of the Canada Health Act (well, duh…if we’re talking private health care, that’s a given). This raises a few […]

  • Star Wars: Return of Celluci According to Paul, we’re joining Missile Defense. Except this is Paul Celluci. Paul Celluci, who is, uh, leaving his job and whose job to the best of my knowledge doesn’t, umm…allow him to decide Canadian foreign policy! Either he’s full of it, or he’s leaking something he shouldn’t be leaking. […]

  • And Now For Something Completely Different… What’s the only difference between the Ukraine elections and the Liberal Party leadership review vote? John Turner was sent to supervise the Ukrainian elections whereas John Turner’s old supporters will supervise the Canadian ones. But seriously folks… I posted a while back about how some Calgary ridings did not […]

  • Baby Killers OK. I feel somewhat guilty for dismissing what is certainly a very contentious debate in a few lines yesterday. And abortion is one topic I really never wanted to touch here since I don’t see it as a political issue at all – the issue is dead in Canada right now despite Martin’s […]

  • 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, […]
