A couple of stories that couldn’t be elaborated into an entire post: I met Elizabeth May (the leader of the Canadian Green Party) not long ago when she came to my local university. We had a chat about their emission reduction plans – a 30% reduction from 1990 levels by 2020, and 90% by 2050. (However, [...]

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 [...]

Just want to add my two cents to the television event of the week for the political junkies of the nation. This was not a substantive event, the information presented in the Stoffer study was worthy of noting, yes. But the larger interest here arising out of Duffy's presentation is one that has to do with the morphed Conservative psyche, I would submit. In two ways. First, there's the spectacle of...

Here's a map of Canada, showing the results of the 2008 federal election. Observant readers will notice a distinct pattern. If you start on one coast and move across to the other, you see a lot of blue, some burnt orange, and whatever that colour is they use to identify the Bloc Quebecois. Not a lot of red. There's Newfoundland, a splash along the Ontario/Quebec border, and that one itty-bitty riding...

There have been a number of stories about the Conservative government and its principles that, taken in isolation, are telling but don't really amount to much. But when you look at all these stories in aggregate, a picture certainly begins to emerge about the style and attitude of this government: Gov't program wants job applicants' views on Tory budget : An elite federal program to recruit the cream...

I came across this ancient (more than 10 years old) web site featuring essays by various conservative/libertarian writers. Found this dusty op ed I wrote a long, long time ago when I still had some hair, called " Romancing the left." More interestingly, here's an essay on the site written by Prime Minister Harper back in 1999 when he was still president of the National Citizens Coalition....

The women's soccer semifinals of the Mountain West Conference between the Brigham Young Cougars and New Mexico Lobos featured such bad sportsmanship that it made ESPN SportsCenter. One dirty shot by Lobos defender Elizabeth Lambert may singlehandedly revive interest in the Dorothy Hamill haircut among female athletes.

Canada's ruling Conservative Party has maintained its double-digit lead over major rival the Liberal Party, according to a new poll released Thursday. The weekly EKOS poll put the Conservatives at 37.4 percent, compared with the Liberals at 26.8 percent. Both parties are back at the support levels they got during last year's election.

I get press releases from the Liberals, New Democrats, Conservatives, and Greens delivered to me daily via RSS . As you might imagine, most press releases from most of the parties are asinine most of the time. The point of a press release is to try to frame an issue in a way that is favourable for your party and unfavourable for other parties. Fair enough, I get that. But today's press release from...
