I generally tend to think that “Boisclair under fire for candidate’s genocide remarks” is not a headline you want in the midst of a campaign. The actual story isn’t quite as bad as the headline makes it sound but still…eek! This is certainly turning into a fun election to follow. If you like politics, it’s […]

The leader of the most (only?) federalist party in the province states the obvious that Quebec could be divisible following a “oui” vote. And everyone considers it a gaffe. Welcome to the weird world of Quebec politics…

A few tid-bits: First off, there’s Elizabeth Thompson reminding us what Harper was saying about the Quebecois circa 1995 (h/t Wells). Given that Lawrence Cannon is allowed to change his mind on this topic several time within a span of minutes, I’ll cut Steve some slack and not hold him to what he said 12 […]

I remember thinking to myself over the weekend, “gosh, it’s been a few days since Garth Turner has said anything”. Well, luckily, this week’s Hill Times gave all the Garth junkies out there their Garthy fix. On the front page, is a story about Garth predicting the next election (May 28th).

I was on the Bloggers Hotstove this week. Topics discussed included those terrorist loving Liberals, the Quebec election, Elizabeth May calling Canadians stupid, and, of course, the latest poll numbers. You can give ‘er a listen to here.

I don’t usually pay too much attention to international politics, but the Globe had a good article on the French presidential election, and the shocking rise of François Bayrou from obscurity. With the run off system they have, the victory of this bland yet bold centrist is certainly possible. The article also goes on to […]

This is from a week or two ago but I just saw it now and got a real kick out of it. You’d think Peter MacKay making a fool of himself would get tiring after a while but I still enjoy it every time. Hat Tip: Bond. Sir Robert Bond.

And people say nobody takes the NDP seriously…

One thing Harper’s bizarre accusations against the Liberals this week did do was take the environment out of the headlines. But with Al Gore poised to pick up an Oscar tomorrow, I figured it might be a good time to talk a bit about the environment. Last month, I asked a few questions related to […]
