Not a big deal since he’s already said he wasn’t going to run again, but Joe Comuzzi has been kicked out of Liberal caucus over his decision to back the Harper budget. Hard to disagree with booting him on this. On the grand daddy of all confidence motions, party unity needs to reign supreme.

Couldn’t have said it better myself so I won’t even try.

“The long, tiring, unproductive era of bickering between the provincial and federal governments is over.” –Jim Flaherty Uh-huh. Glad we finally got that problem solved. More bold proclamations from Canada’s Finance Minister: Mr. Flaherty said the budget should “end the bickering” between provinces over the issue [of equalization]. “The day of governments with their hands […]

I’ve said for a while that I don’t think we’ll see a federal vote until 2008, but the common consensus is certainly turning towards a spring vote these days.

There are two questions from the original six I asked which still need to be answered; […]

For those out West or for those who enjoy watching the never ending National reruns all night long on Newsworld, yours truly is on tonight, talking about Stephane Dion. [note: can also be viewed online…about 16 minutes in] Paul Hunter asked a bunch of questions, so I’m kind of curious which ones were used…
