Queer-liberal: When everybody expects a leader to be very bad, but ends up just being sort of bad, I guess that means he wins the debate…

I’ve had 24 hours now to digest what I saw during yesterday’s Ontario leaders’ debate, as well as the knee jerk analysis last night and today’s commentary and reactions.   I watched last night with my politically-inclined Brazilian boyfriend, whose knowledge of Ontario politics and the three leaders is less

Queer-liberal: The folly of Hudakian Conservatives in the Ontario PC Party will cost them this election…

In 2003, Ontarians had fully experienced the impact of Mike Harris’ neo-conservative policies in action: crowded schools, never-ending labour disruptions, demoralized teachers, growing health care wait times, closed hospitals, fired nurses, neglected infrastructure, transit going nowhere, poisoned water, 7 dead people in Walkerton, unchecked and possibly bad food in our

Queer-liberal: Andrea Horwath pulls a "Jack Layton", but this time progressives will flock to Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals to stop Hudak’s Conservatives…

In fact, I might even suggest if Vaughan does secure the Liberal nomination (which seems very

Queer-liberal: Kick attention-seeking, mischief-making American bigot Peter LaBarbera out of the country, please!

It seems hatemonger Peter LaBarbera’s temporary detention by Canada Customs at Regina’s airport last week was quite justified, considering what the bigoted troublemaker got himself into on the University of Regina’s campus today. LaBarbera, along with infamous hate propagandist Bill Whatcott (whose guilt promoting hatred against gays and lesbians was upheld

Queer-liberal: By-election results show Tim Hudak’s far-right agenda still tanking in Ontario…leaving an opening for Wynne’s Liberals to win again…

Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario Liberals got decisively whipped in yesterday’s provincial by-elections in Niagara Falls and Thornhill.  Their result in Thornhill, which was slightly stronger than their 2011 result in the same seat, showed Liberal support in the GTA is, at least, hanging in there under Wynne’s leadership.   For a party
