1. Yesterday, Dave Bronconnier declared September as “yellow ribbon month<\/a>” in Calgary. While the timing is a bit suspect, rumour has it that October will be declared “provincial\/municipal funding agreement awareness month” or “celebration of overpass construction month”.<\/p>\n

2. Brian Mulroney is in the news for “lashing out<\/a>” against Pierre Trudeau. To be clear, this is a former Prime Minister trashing another former Prime Minister who has been dead for seven years, over things the later did a quarter century before becoming PM. Real classy Brian – good to see you aren’t bitter or anything.

The Calgary Sun calls it a “clash of the titans”, but I’m not sure it can really be considered a clash when one of the “clashers” isn’t really able to, you know, respond.<\/p>\n

3. Fred Thompson <\/a>has jumped into the Presidential race and I’d have to peg him as the odds on favourite to take the Republican nomination at this point. The same way a lot of Liberals are longing for another Trudeau, one imagines a lot of Republicans would love to find the next Reagan and Thompson will probably be close enough for many of them.<\/p>\n

4. Interesting move for McGuinty to release his full platform <\/a>over a month before election day.<\/p>\n

5. For those who missed it on Saturday, here’s the link to Andrew Coyne’s “politics here is uniquely stupid<\/a>” column. Gotta agree, at least partially.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
