NDP Election Strategy: Campaign With a Corpse
Thu Dec 22, 2005 – 8:19 am
Well, that’s mean, I admit. But imagine if Harper were to refer constantly to Robert Stanfield or Paul Martin to Pierre Trudeau.
For the NDP, it’s the 1970s all over again (or perhaps mid-80s).
It’s pathetic that the 2 most common words coming out of Jack Layton’s mouth these days are, […]
Swinging Supremely
Wed Dec 21, 2005 – 6:40 pm
The categorical assertion that everyone knew” what takes place in these clubs would suggest that the seven Supreme Court Justices who favoured the swingers clubs may have taken a little research trip to Montreal sometime this year.
Paul Martin Confuses Morality with Science
Tue Dec 20, 2005 – 10:14 pm

If Canada’s relation with the United States is all about protecting sovereignty, as Prime Minister Martin has said of lately in his vote-garnering attempts, then the opposite also applies.

There’s a storm brewing south of the border that should make for an interesting week to come. Follow the links. (via Instapundit)
Macleans Biased?
Sat Dec 17, 2005 – 6:27 pm
It seems strange that a nominally conservative poster like myself would choose to defend Svend Robinson in his inaugural post here at ThePolitic, but I couldn’t let the cover of the December 19 2005 edition of Macleans pass by without comment.
