I did a guest blog on the Daily Canuck today where I futily tried to sum up the convention, the Kennedy campaign, and why delegates should vote for Gerard in 150 words. In other news, I’m up for Best Blog and Best Progressive Blog in the Canadian Blog Awards this year. While it does seem […]

I had a pair of Liberals e-mail me today asking for my take on the Red Ribbon Report amendments so I figured this would be a good time to post my thoughts on the proposed constitutional changes (as the sound of hundreds of readers who could care less about the Liberal Party constitution leaving this […]

Garth Turner’s much anticipated news conference today contained the salacious bombshell that…wait for it…backbench MPs don’t have much power in Ottawa! WOW! I must say it was quite courageous of Garth to take up the plight of the independent MP after he became an independent MP. It reminds me of how he valiantly criticized Harper’s […]

For the Democrats, the Kennedys are political royalty and for the Liberals, it’s always been the Trudeaus. So it certainly brought a smile to my face to see Justin Trudeau speaking highly of a Canadian Kennedy: For those wanting the English version, here’s my rough recap of what Justin had to say: About the race: […]

Yesterday, I posted the answers to questions I sent to LPC Presidential candidate Bobbi Ethier. Today, I post the answers from another challenger, Senator Marie Poulin: 1.

Garth Turner is planning to make a “major” press conference Tuesday. Bold Prediction: This has the Lyle Oberg false alarm written all over it.

I’ll be going into the Red Ribbon Report and the proposed constitutional ammendments later this week (I know what you’re thinking: “a blog post on Liberal Party constitutional changes – I CAN’T WAIT!!!!”). However, it should be noted that Mike Eizenga will be hosting online Q & A sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday to answer […]

It’s not nearly as glamorous as the leadership race…or the nation question…or even the Red Ribbon Report vote (which I’ll be talking about later this week). Hell, even the Paul Martin tribute will probably be more interesting. But the race for the presidency of the Liberal Party is still an important one. Because of this, […]

As others have already said, the idea to hold a state funeral for the last remaining WW1 veteran is a wonderfully appropriate one. Everyone should take a moment to sign this petition.

Both courtesy of Kinsella, 1. Some scary musings about Harper considering constitutional reform and a massive decentralization of power. 2. Howard Dean will be the keynote speaker Wednesday night at the Liberal convention. Since I’m a day late, the obvious “we’re going to Regina, then Calgary, then Quebec…YEEHAW!” and “third straight American speaker” jokes have […]
