Gordon's global financial transactions levy idea mocked.

Found this in the Financial Times , on McSnotty being snubbed on the world stage. He really does come across as that kid that wants to be in the gang but is not wanted and the gang can't beat him up as their mum's will give them crap so have to tolerate him. McSnotty Brown threw his rather porky and overweight self behind a global financial transactions levy on Saturday morning, calling for “a...

The audacity of youth

A pair of young journalists led Jack Layton’s scrum yesterday with questions about heckling in the House. They would seem to have followed up with a couple other MPs, similar exchanges showing up in the scrum transcripts. The last question posed to Jim Flaherty surely demonstrates a degree of chutzpah that bodes well for the [...]

Kelly McParland: Lacking ideas, Liberals steal them instead

When Liberals aren't accusing the government of deliberately sabotaging the H1N1 vaccine campaign, they apparently fill in the hours reading NDP policy manuals. NDP leader Jack Layton has spent many happy hours flaying credit card companies for their devious and dishonest practices.
