Conrad Black: Lessons from Mackenzie King
Full Comment (Free subscription) | yesterday
Stephen Harper has now served longer as a minority prime minister than any of his predecessors except Lester B. Pearson, a PM who was only three or four seats short of a majority. Pearson left office in 1968. And times have changed since then. While Harper is dealing with the venomous hedgehog of the separatist Bloc Québécois, Pearson had to contend with the bizarre, but crypto-federalist,...

Chris Selley's Full Pundit: Torture? In Afghanistan? For shame!
Full Comment (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
It's the cover-up that kills In which Canadians yet again prove their infinite capacity to be amazed that Afghanistan is a really horrible place. The Toronto Star ’s editorialists are well scandalized by Richard Colvin’s “bombshell” allegations of torture and cover-ups of torture in Afghanistan. Now, don’t get us wrong — this is big, bad news. But we’re not...

Party Like It's 2009
CalgaryGrit (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
Everyone went list-crazy in 1999, but the end of the aughts is fast approaching with little fanfare or retrospective. So, since this December figures to be a lot less interesting than the last, this is the perfect time for a Calgary Grit mini-contest. So, what I want from everyone are suggestions for the “top Canadian political moment of the decade”. You can define that however you see...

Paul Wells Likes It Horizontal?
Bowie's Blog (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009
Behold, rich criticism of a vertical command structure from the man whose unflattering book on Prime Minister Martin criticized his office for being horizontal. "Groupthink," he called it. Too much participation from too many people, and too much consensus; the Martin PMO was doomed to failiure in Orwellian terms. "Right Side Up" is actually an insightful book, and as an unrepenting...

And so, we return to the Criminal Justice & Licensing ( Scotland ) Bill. It’s a hodgepodge of issues and concerns. Issues of sentencing are stacked beside attempts to criminalise serious organised crime, extreme pornography and the trafficking of persons. How old should people be before they are prosecuted? Is 12 years an appropriate threshold? What about the spouses of folk accused of committing...

ottlib (Free subscription) | 11/14/2009
I have recently been criticized by some other Liberal bloggers because they claim that I refuse to see the reality of the current situation of the Liberal Party and that my attitude is part of the problems that they are having. Although he was too polite to say it in so many words one blogger even implied that I may be deluded. I have been called much worse and I take none of the criticisms personally....
