The most under-reported story of last night: The Liberal Party is now officially stone dead in Francophone Quebec. The Repentigny by-election was the last nail in the coffin. The Liberal candidate finished behind the Conservative and the NDP candidates. The CPC candidate received three times the votes of the Liberal.
Did it have anything to […]
Dion supporter Jeff Jedras lets loose with sanctimony over the whipped “nation” vote:
So Harper triple-whipped this thing? Interesting. I could go through the archives and pull up a bunch of fun quotes from the Harper gang about how whipping is bad, freedom of blah blah, but who has time?
You do that, Jeff. In the […]
In memory of the late, great Max West, I reprint his classic essay, “The Hypocrisies of the Urban Liberals.” Jim Dinning’s strategy to scare voters away from Ted Morton reflects hypocrisies like these:
Urban Liberals love openness and inclusion. That’s why they want nothing to do with rednecks and fundamentalists.
Urban Liberals love diversity, as long as […]
I finally managed to get the Rick Bell file off my hard drive.
For the background story, go here. If you have already read my Sunday post on the meltdown of Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell, click here. The text entry does not quite do justice to the actual sound.
I just went to the Blogging Tories site to see if I could find a site live-blogging the London by-election results as they come in. It turns out that Stephen and Chris are live-blogging the results at the top of the page! Check it out.
The Party of Alberta was officially launched at the beginning of November.
I’m not sure about the utility of a Albertan First federal party when the prime minister is currently an Albertan. But if you’d like to see the party get off the ground, head on over and help them become recognized by Elections Canada.
If this is true, and there is a significant chance given the source that it isn’t, then Mr. Chong is truly insane. Giving up a cabinet seat over…this?
Update: Commenter Jeff confirms the rumour. The Halton region’s primary export these days seems to be pains-in-the-ass.
It is nice to see that these former Progressive Conservatives […]
I don’t think he realizes it, but poster Keith on Andrew Coyne’s blog says something profound:
I believe Andrew has already debunked the idea that Canada is a confederation of two founding peoples more eloquently than I, but the last time I checked the Constituion Act of 1867 was signed by Canada, Nova Scotia, and New […]
This exchange between Myron Thompson and a CTV reporter is pretty funny. CTV was fishing for a disgruntled Albertan to embarrass Harper. They didn’t get it, but not for lack of honesty.
Question: Can you tell me in terms of all this debate going on about the Quebec nation, what do your constituents say?
Myron […]
Scan through some of the comments on the Globe’s ‘bad boy’ Alberta piece. This is the kind of ignorance that Alberta is up against.
Midtown Bob from Toronto, Canada writes: A pumpkin could run alberta and still run an $9,000,000,000 surplus.
William Doyle from Prince George, Canada writes: Morton sounds like […]
