Take a few minutes for a trip down memory lane, where the honourable Rob Nicholson waxes rhapsodic regarding the delightful benefits to Canadian democracy of "fixed" election dates, never once letting on that he's bullshitting you the entire time . In retrospect, it's quite the performance, isn't it? Who knew he had his fingers crossed?

For a guy that's such a leader, Stephen Harper seems to be having a good deal of trouble keeping his fellow Conservatives on message and on the team. And the campaign hasn't even started yet.You'll recall that last week, an election looming, Harper's justice minister Rob Nicholson hastily convened a last-minute press conference to announce, minus any actual legislation, research or supporting materials,...

Shrieking from this crazy lady aside , I think its a helluva idea for the Liberals to be pounding Stephen Harper on his refusal "to come clean on the right to choose" . Rob Nicholson has announced that a new, totally non-abortion related bill is coming, but nothing concrete is on the table yet and nothing is likely to be before a snap election call . Meanwhile the old bill is not going away . The Tories...

Just days before Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to engineer a snap election, his justice minister, Rob Nicholson, has suddenly been seized with the import of meting out harsher sentences to criminals who endanger pregnant women. As with many of Harper's manoeuvres, politics, not policy, are clearly driving this proposal.

Shorter Rob Nicholson : "No, you won't." Shorter Ken Epp : "Bite me, asshole." I'm pretty sure I know how this is going to play out: I don't really care who wins, I'm just praying for fatal injuries.

Justice Minister Rob Nicholson is planning to kill the Unborn Victims Of Crime Act , replacing it with a government bill that would leave "no room for the introduction of fetal rights". But the bill C-484 has nothing about fetal rights in it. It merely defines a wanted unborn baby as a separate object which is valuable to the woman who carries him, so it proposes separate punishment for harming the...
