Why McCain Looks Like a Winner, And Why That May be Bad

At this point in the primaries, it seems very probable that Obama will win the Democratic nomination. I support Clinton in the contest, and while history tells us to never write off a Clinton, I must say that it looks like Barrack is inevitable.
So the question that comes to mind for conservatives is twofold: First, can […]

Garth Turner Hypocrisy Example # 3081

C’mon Garth, you could’ve waited a few weeks before directly stating that another organization were thieves (on national television too!) after the threats that you made to this site’s owner over a post I wrote. Of course, you’ll probably say you’re allowed to use such words, being in opposition and all or that you’re […]

Jim Prentice: Doing The Right Thing For All The Wrong Reasons

There was quite a bit of anger among conservatives in Canada last week when the boys in Ottawa blocked the sale of a Canadian (space) satellite division to an American buyer. Gerry Nicholls railed against the decision by a Minister of Industry who is admittedly not so inclined to keep industries prosperous, given some of […]

Celebrity Endorsements May Hinder, not Help Campaigns

Costas Panagopoulos, an assistant professor of political science at New York’s Fordham University, has pointed out that Oprah Winfrey’s support of Obama may have done little for the Obama campaign, and may have actually hurt Oprah’s personal popularity.
To be sure, Oprah remains one of the most popular figures in America, but recent data suggest her […]

Tom Lukiwski: The One Who Cast The First Slur…

Should it be a surprise that of all the people I know, the ones who are *socially liberal* when it comes to issues of lifestyles and choices are the also the ones that are most willing to drop the phrase “fag” when it comes to describing someone in a derogatory manor? I blogged about […]

The Lights Are Back On, And Still No One’s Home On Granola Street!

9:40 pm — I think I looked outside at one point during the 8 o’clock hour to see if the cityscape changed here; it didn’t. Lights of businesses, houses and cars were still on. So I’m not even sure if this whole thing went ahead outside of the urbane, advanced city cores of […]

Stephane Dion’s days are numbered

I think we can forget about both his membership and his campaign because his own Liberal sharks are circling around him. Their leader has nowhere to go but to swim down The Nile:
M. Dion a refusé de voir dans ces fuites le signe d’un malaise face à son leadership. “Non. C’est un manque […]

More Garth Turner Hypocrisy!

First up, Platty does a little research and rightfully concludes that the MP for Bearded Bitter Bikers has no leg to stand on when lecturing others on the importance of voting. Maybe we should follow Garth’s rationale and make sure that all those Liberals lose the privilege that they’re not too keen on using. […]

Could Dion Lose His Own Party’s Memebership?

The Ottawa Sun reports today that indeed it’s quite possible and that the recently vocal Quebec wing of the Liberal Party is stirring with a movement to invoke a clause never used before to revoke Dion’s membership in the Liberal party. I’m not sure how this would affect the Montreal area MP as past […]

Ontario’s Budget Goes Nowhere Fast!

The economy is eroding and prices are soaring for consumers. Indeed, when compared to just twelve months ago, the mood of your average Ontarian is much grimmer when it comes to the economy. Most specifically, Ontario is regaining the dubious honour that it had twenty years ago when it became dead last in […]
