It's that time of the year again, when Christmas cards and year-end letters start arriving in the mail. I've managed to get my hands on the letters being sent out by all party leaders and will be posting them here over the next week. First off, the Prime Minister. Greetings friends! It’s been another great year despite these grave economic times, which we are only now coming out of thanks to...

The "in and out" litigation is being heard in the Federal Court this week. This is the one where the Conservatives are seeking to exploit what they believe is a loophole in the Elections Act. It's a gigantic loophole that they're arguing for, actually, one that would essentially render meaningless the federal campaign spending limits on national parties. Their argument is that they can transfer...

Back in January, I wrote that the Liberal Party faced a serious problem in the aftermath of Stephane Dion's disastrous leadership coup mounted by Michael Ignatieff to take over the leadership of the Liberal Party without a vote. The problem was the fury of Canada's left , both within the Liberal Party and those outside of it, which had come so tantalizingly close to achieving power, only to see it...

Colvin's testimony was alarming and the Conservative Party response, true to form, abysmal and disgusting. But there are shoes yet to drop regarding Afghan prisoners. So far the discussion seems to be around what happens to prisoners after Canada hands them to the ANP or ANA. The next shoe to drop will be when the stories come out about what Canadian soldiers have done to Afghan prisoners. Right now...

Canada is at war. It may seem hard to believe at times, given our remoteness from the conflict and the distinct lack of impact on most Canadians’ daily lives. But when our soldiers in Afghanistan are not helping provide schools, health clinics and training to the Afghan army, they are helping defend Afghan population centers against a predatory and nihilistic enemy. And when that thuggish enemy,...

The NY-23 special election is now over , again, but for the absurd conspiracy stuff LOSER Doug Hoffman is peddling to his know-nothing base so he can raise money for 2010. Congressman Bill Owens has gotten two excellent committees , given that his district includes Fort Drum and 100 miles or so of border with Canada -- Armed Services and Homeland Security. But here's what's more interesting than all...

The Conservative Party of Canada is showing its true stripes this week. On two equally disgusting fronts. First, the Tories are defaming whistle blower Richard Colvin because he implicated that government employees in both Defense and Foreign Affairs tried to bury the torture of Afghan detainees in Kandahar's prisons. Second, the Tories are continuing their relentless pursuit of the Jewish vote by...

I was going to call this blog entry “How liberals REALLY think” , but then I remembered how the liberals’ Canadian lamestream media division has been apoplectic this week and writing up a fake “news” story drummed-up by liberals and further lefties, concerning the Conservative Party sending out junk mail and (the lefties and their media say) how the Conservatives insinuate...

The United States and its imperialist partners are losing their war of conquest in Afghanistan and a further escalation is required. Canada’s Conservative Party government now faces the thorny problem of bringing its policy into line with U.S. plans. General Stanley McChrystal, the head of the U.S. armed forces in Afghanistan, says more troops are needed if the invading forces are to prevail,...
