As you may have heard, Christy Clark is the premier of British Columbia. As such, she is alleged to be a politician. If they know anything at all, politicians are expected to know how to vote. Christy Clark doesn’t. The truly sad and amazing tale of Christy Clark’s attempt to

LisaKirbie.com: What’s Andrea going to do?
If she supports the Liberal budget, she’s not going to have another chance to defeat the government before Christmas, I’d wager. If she supports the Liberal budget, the PC party is going to crucify them. Saying that by supporting the Wynne budget, she’s supporting scandal and waste, etc. (Expect lots

Last Sunday, on his weekly radio program, Toronto’s mayor offered to generously to sit down with women – over coffee even – and “explain how politics works” to us. A lot of people were astounded and offended by this. I decided to take him up on his offer. I called

I don’t know Deb Hutton but I do know what it’s like when a politician goes after you because of who you’re in a relationship with. There is no excuse for this. And if you’re wondering what I’m talking about. Check it out. Here and here, too. (Also, important to

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think the new PSAC ad attacking the Harper government’s environmental record is all that effective. The Public Service of Canada VP thinks otherwise, however, calling it “shocking and aggressive.” But, really, it’s more of a yawn. It’s about a minute too long and

I saw these guys play live at the Luv-a-Fair about 23 years ago now. Couple of things to note: 1) I’m old and 2) it never should have taken 23 years for Public Enemy to receive this kind of recognition – long overdue. And if you don’t know what the

One giant leap for the opposition.
