I wasn’t going to watch the debate because I had to go to the grocery store and I was pretty sure I knew how it was going to turn out anyway, but I got sucked into it and was mildly surprised. Dalton McGuinty wasn’t as bad as I thought he

We haven’t seen the end of the story of questionable use of government jets. According to CBC 60% of the planes’ flights were taken by passengers not needing the extra security, as well as other interesting uses. Check out this laundry list: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/09/22/challenger-use.html In a separate story they report that

Jim Flaherty expects British Columbia to repay the $1.6 Billion it received from the federal government as part of its HST tax rollout. Here’s something I don’t say very often: I agree with Jim Flaherty. I don’t understand the idea behind the HST 100% but to the extent that I know

CBC reports today that Scotiabank is mulling over the possibility of a Canadian recession. This could make Canada the first major Western nation to re-enter recession. I don’t find this surprising because I work in sales, right on the front line of the economy and I’ve seen what’s been going

There are reports that up to 2 million people are without power around the US-Mexico border. These reports don’t mention that there was also a (probably unrelated) large power outage in Detroit earlier today. Fortunately there was a newsreel running about the Detroit outage across the bottom of the screen while

Loved it. Technically. This is the speech that actually causes some small movement on Capitol Hill (possibly very small) or is Obama’s platform for running against Congress in the next election. I’ll rank the move as solid. The plan?… Well… At this point any kind of action, whether sensible or

So Rogers is now expanding out into the financial services field with credit cards and likely other forms of payments. Although they have no plans on creating a real banking operation with deposits and withdrawals, etc it seems like an idea whose time has come (or has long past), considering

After hearing the allegations of an “iPod tax” there’s one thing I want to see tomorrow: Michael Ignatieff wearing an iPod. A bright green, super-flashy obvious one with white ear buds. Instead of ignoring this or trying to brush it off I want to see Michael Ignatieff take advantage of
Continue readingAdam M On The Front Page: Election 2015
The Conservative Party is making promises of tax relief well off in the future, after the deficit is eliminated. But we are always hearing that the deficit won’t be eliminated for five years (or more) and so the next Parliament is unlikely to make it long enough to see the

Everyone, mark the date on your calendar. Today was the day that we started living in a world where corporate penny-pinching has become so unstoppable that Fisher Price can recall 10 000 000 products for safety problems in one day and it doesn’t seem to be getting viewed as a

OK, so it’s coming out that the lake didn’t cost $ 2 Million. It cost more like $57 000. The lighthouse didn’t cost $100 000. It cost more like $1000. That doesn’t change the fact that when this news broke the government went into overdrive defending those incorrect costs. They

I’m just having a really hard time taking Evan Solomon seriously. How does a change of host radically alter the trajectory of this program so much? Isn’t there some kind of politics editor at CBC that makes sure Power and Politics follows a certain course? If the hosts have so

Conservatives say: They stand for transparency and accountability because they passed the Accountability Act. Liberals should say: Clearly the Accountability Act is a failure. Plain. Simple. Opens a conversation. Takes the Accountability Act off the table as an excuse. Hard to deny. Makes you see why investigating the Jaffer affair
