The Ontario PC Party is up in arms now that one of their own, Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees, has put his name forward for the speakers chair. Dalton is just one-seat shy of a majority government, and that means neither opposition parties could affo…

Tim Hudak and the Ontario PC’s were clearly playing the US style “family” card during the Ontario leaders debate tonight. Like Sarah Palin constantly mentioning her son Trig in talking points, Tim Hudak mentioned his daughter Miller multiple times duri…

I wanted to learn more about the newly elected MP here in my parents’ riding of Richmond Hill. So my first instinct was to visit the Tory’s official website, www.conservative.ca. I was a little mind-boggled, yet not surprised, to find that no such lis…

Hard quality work shows for itself. Joining the likes of General Douglas McArthur, former Liberal MP, my former MP, The Hon. Bryon Wilfert, is going to receive Japan’s second highest honour, the Order of the Rising Sun. Bryon has worked tirelessly for …

Awwwe… isn’t that nice? The newly appointed Conservative Senator wants us to thank him and sympathize with him for taking a pay cut (using our tax-dollars) to sit in an un-elected chamber to “serve the public”. Even if and when he loses his race to s…

I would like to commend the United States Senate for voting to repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. Despite the pain the Democrats went through in losing these stronghold Senate seats, it is great to see Republican Senators like Scott Brown of M…

There are grumblings in the Alberta political scene that the almighty Ezra Levant may vie for the Conservative nomination to replace Jim Prentice in Calgary Centre-North. If that’s the case, we should definitely have Warren take him on.

Harper’s embarrassing and blatantly obvious ploy to frame and blame Ignatieff for the failed UN vote has made it alllll the way across the Atlantic to the UK Guardian. Harper is truly an international embarrassment beyond riches. Who’s gonna get the PM…

So after yesterday’s sad rejection from the UN, I thought I’d flip the channel over to our Conservative friends over at the Blogging Tories to see what their reactions were. Basically it’s a lot of excuses and finger pointing: “Ignatieff’s fails the t…

Harper puppet minister, Lawrence Cannon, recently accused Michael Ignatieff of putting his party over the country by apparently not wanting Canada to sit on the UN Security Council. By injecting domestic partisan politics into the international scene, …

“Nando is not your run-of-the-mill, ordinary citizen. He is a professional politician who has been feeding off the teat of …

“One of the great blessings that we have in municipal governance is the fact that few people vote.”- Nando Iannicca, Mississauga Ward 7 City Councillor, December 13, 2006 (www.nandoiannicca.com)Is that so, Nando? I think it’s time for change. Mississau…

A Liberal motion (whipped vote) to include contraception within family planning programs for developing nations has been defeated. As a Canadian development aid worker currently living in Africa, this is absolutely shameful. I even had a few Zambian co…

With the rising federal deficit and a very confusing national health-care plan, tea-party participants have every right to be angry with law makers in Washington. We have recently seen this anger turn into consecutive elections losses for the Democrats…

The federal Liberals have finally decided to fight back. “Highly partisan” flyers are now being sent out to Conservative-held ridings. It’s about time we fight back! Fight fire with fire. Playing Mr. Nice Guy has been slightly ineffective, in my opinion.

In lieu of the recent Toronto Pride federal funding fiasco, the Harper Conservatives have recently turned down funding for a Montreal arts festival that is geared toward the LGBT community. With their poll numbers sinking lower and lower in La Belle Pr…

Congratulations Prime Minister Chrétien on his appointment to the Order of Merit by her majesty. With a long history in public service, an immpecable record of fiscal responsibility as leader, and unmatched electoral success (other than by Mackenzie K…

I would expect that most politically minded readers (of all political stripes) could tell the difference between satirical humour and me being a “fascist” seriously wanting to start military coups on a municipal level.Everyone is entitled to their op…

It’s been over 2 weeks, and the city continues to pile up with garbage. We can literally hear a pin drop at City Hall. Toronto needs a new mayor. Not just any mayor, we need an effective one who isn’t leashed and gagged by organized labour. David Mille…

The first of July is a day of reflection and celebration. Whether you are a citizen, a refugee, a permanent resident or a student, today is a day to reflect upon the great nation in which we live.My middle-class parents and I immigrated from Hong Kong …
