Finally, one of the “big four” has had their Redistribution Commission’s report released… unfortunately for those of us that are not Conservative, things haven’t really changed in our favour. Alberta has moved up from 28 seats to 34 seats, with the original proposal adding in a new riding in the

Blunt Objects: Roger Cuzner for Liberal Caroller
The Member for Cape Breton-Canso has shown once again why the Liberals are the best party on the Hill. Calling Flaherty an elf is absolute gold.

These polls are coming out fast and furious it seems, with Abacus Data the latest to release new poll results – I suspect they’re moving to a monthly schedule. Sadly though, Abacus doesn’t do much else in terms of questions asked in their polls, like Trudeau Polling, so we don’t

Sigh. From Kinsella’s blog: [Comparing Leger to Forum] as here, is like comparing the Beatles to Milli Vanilli. Like comparing Kobe beef to ground chuck. Like comparing Stephen Hawking to Johnny English. Like comparing a Harley to a Moped. Like comparing Olympic wrestling to pro wrestling. Like comparing a Ferrari

This new poll out for the federal scene from everyone’s favourite Quebec pollster, Léger Marketing (well, they’re my favourite because they break down their data the way I like), their first once since April of this year. It isn’t too often we see them come out of their province, though

Three provinces, admittedly minor, have had their redistribution commissions complete their reports. Let’s go over the changes from the original proposals quickly. Newfoundland & Labrador has some minor changes to their proposed ridings, but there continues to be 7 ridings total, with all retaining their same partisan make-up, with the

The last person to jump into the Ontario Liberal leadership race, Harinder Takhar, has been sending me a lot of e-mails recently. And while I would usually find this to be a mild annoyance at times, I like when Takhar sends me e-mails about his campaign and his platform, because

More sort-of good news for the BC Liberals in their long struggle from the depths of utter destruction, as a new Ipsos Reid poll puts the party at 35%, their highest in any poll since a February 2012 NRG Research poll. Ipsos Reid (BC Provincial – November 26th-30th, 2012)New Democratic:

I don’t support it because guns are important to Canadians.No, wait, I do support it, “in principle,” but it is now too divisive to bring back now that its gone.But! I support Quebec bringing it back because it is less divisive there.What the hell.If y…

Dear federal Liberal leadership candidates,My name is Kyle Hutton and I am the author of the blog Blunt Objects, President of the Burlington Young Liberals Club, and a dedicated Liberal since I could vote. But I am also a dedicated democrat, who hol…

The federal commission here in Ontario which is drawing up the new boundaries for the 2015 election (and beyond, I assume), have become the only ones so far to propose new changes to the map they originally proposed, which can be seen here in its full …
