OTTAWA, ONTARIO (MARKET WIRE) The World Cup events in speed skating, November 5-8, 2009, provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the performance of our talented Canadian athletes.

Interesting dynamic that looks to be shaping up in the early goings as the Olympic torch relay has begun. It appears that we will be treated to a parade of Harper cabinet ministers participating in the torch relay events. In the midst of the H1N1 outbreak, even the Health Minister is somehow finding the time to go torching: The Honourable Gary Lunn, Minister of State (Sport), and the Honourable Leona...

Just when you think these Conservatives couldn't get any more ridiculous, they do: "Torch celebrations being held in mostly Conservative ridings." 2010 Vancouver Olympic torch-relay celebrations across the country are being held primarily in Conservative ridings, according to documents obtained by CTV News. I really don't feel strongly at all about where they run the torch but, you know,...

After failing to win gold in Calgary in 1988, or in Montreal in 1976, Minister of State for Sport Gary Lunn is promising Canada will “absolutely” win Olympic gold next year in Vancouver.

AllTheHockeyRinksThatFit MinistryVille Yesterday, we commented on a piece by Andrew MacLeod in The Tyee about the connection, by holy matrimony, of one of the third party advertisers that helped elect FedCon kinda/sorta/almost front-bencher Gary Lunn and one of the movers and shakers, a very fine fellow named Robert Evans, associated with an Alberta development group that wants to put a marina for...

AllTheThirdParty'sThatFit OverTheLimitVille Remember when Gary Lunn was demoted to Minister-In-Charge-Of-Hockey-Rinks after the last election ? And remember how we wondered, in the wake of some fantastic reportage from Andrew MacLeod in The Tyee and insightful commentary from Paul Willcocks in the Victoria Times-Colonist , if that demotion, perhaps, had something to do with 11th Hour-RoboCalls and/or...

After taking a look at incumbency effects over the summer, I can now dig a bit deeper when looking back at the 2008 election. Specifically, by looking at subregional shifts in support between 2006 and 2008, and the incumbency effect, it's possible to "predict" how the parties should have done in every riding last election. While predicting something that's already happened has somewhat limited...

Whooee! Well friends an' foes, the gal I adore, Earth Mother Lizzie May, got the nomination to run out on Vancouver Island in the Saanich Gulf Islands riding.

Not surprising: Elizabeth May is now the Green Party candidate for Saanich-Gulf Islands . The long-time incumbent there is, of course, Gary Lunn. He is the Minister of State for Sport. BC has the Olympics coming up. The Greens, Liberals and NDP are going to vote split. As much as I want her in, I'm betting she's third, with the Liberal candidate second, and Lunn in first. If I'm wrong, May will take...
