A flurry of news articles in the past 24 hours about a Marc Garneau potential leadership bid. Rocket analogies abound!

It’s quite amusing to watch Harper and the NDP give each other love taps in the form of half-hearted, dueling attack ads. “You so scary, Mulcair. Booga, booga.” “No, you so weak on the economy, Harper. For shame, for shame.” Yawn. One almost has to wonder why the NDP and

Until Justin Trudeau makes his final decision as to whether he’ll be running for the Liberal leadership or not, we’ll no doubt be treated to endless journalistic wheel spinning from various quarters. Most of the tripe we’ve been subjected to so far revolves around the obvious comparisons between Mr. Trudeau

Le Journal de St-Michel a rencontré Justin Trudeau, le député fédéral du compté de Papineau, pour discuter de plusieurs sujets d’actualité. L’année 2011-2012 a été chargée pour le député, qui fait le point sur ce qui s’est passé dans son comté de Papineau, et ce qui est à venir. La

Much has been said and denied about the painfully obvious strategy the Dipper-Cons have been pursuing in their obsession with destroying the Liberals. Everything they do hinges on the belief that all will be right with their respective worlds if only the Liberals disappear. This is becoming an even more

Stephen Harper isn’t fearless but he’s got a gift for intimidation and manipulation. He knows fear intimately and he knows how to use it. Smears, spin, attack ads, Harper’s got a giant money-fueled arsenal of hate and fear and he’s been raining destruction down on his opponents for years. Few
