…you know you couldn’t pay for coverage this helpful. Wow.

From that Ivison column Grits are passing around: The Liberal sense of manifest destiny has taken a hit with a new poll that suggests the party has less than 30% support — a drop of nearly 10 points in six months. …the trend in all public surveys is the same

Driving in with Son Two, Arcade Fire’s ‘Ready to Start’ comes on.  I personally think Arcade Fire are insufferably pretentious/precious, and Win Butler makes Billy Corgan seem shy and retiring.  But this remains a great pop song, and that line in the middle corresponds to my view of quite a bit

Just as the Cons make use of their leader’s artistic expression to fundraise, so too do the Libs, now. Stick to your day jobs, fellas. If this keeps up, Tom Mulcair will start belting out show tunes in Question Period.

Ladurantaye, this blue-check legit?   

Quote: TORONTO – Premier Kathleen Wynne says if the Progressive Conservatives want her to drop a lawsuit against two of their members, all they have to do is apologize. Wynne launched a suit last April against then PC leader Tim Hudak and MPP Lisa MacLeod for saying she oversaw and

Hard for Libs (principally those in Ontario) to kvetch about this when they have benefitted from this.  Conversely, it will make it difficult for Cons (principally those in Ontario) to kvetch about this when they have this. Don’t you love it when the universe balances out?  

Here’s yet more evidence, from Tom Adams. My recent experience, here. This man is out of control. Facing serial human rights complaints. Buying a $2,000 flat screen TV for his “home office” with taxpayer dollars – and expensing body wash and after shave. Tweeting photos of himself on a government

Authorities are trying to determine whether Andreas Lubitz’s relationship difficulties with his girlfriend played a role in his

How does bombing targets in Syria, without asking Syria for permission, and continuing to condemn Syria, make us an ally of Syria? #cdnpoIi — Warren Kinsella (@kinsellawarren) March 26, 2015 Opposing the Obama-led international coalition for whatever reason is one thing. But to actually suggest we have now somehow become

You all know my views on scandal stuff, but you also know I am a digitized, Internet-based broken record, and possibly not even a person.  To wit: scandal-mongering DOESN’T WORK. Cole’s Notes version as to why: The media/politico chattering class call EVERYTHING a scandal, and always append “gate” to the end

Right here: “The Bureau also took into consideration the dynamic nature of media markets and the challenges faced by traditional media in adapting to an increasingly digital world.” Shorter version: newspapers need all the help they can get, and we aren’t about to hasten their demise. Knock yourselves out, etc.

These are some of the things that happen every four years: leap year, a total solar eclipse, the Olympics, and the FIFA World Cup.  Oh, and debate—ad infinitum, ad nauseam—about the Liberals and New Democrats coming together to defeat the Satanic Stephen Harper Conservatives. That, too, happens every four years—and,

This Matthews guy is smart. One expert in genocide and war said the government motion neatly manoeuvred Trudeau into repudiating his own party’s foreign policy legacy. “I think now from a political perspective this is a bigger wedge issue because Liberals were the ones who helped bring about responsibility to

And here’s yet another reason why.

As expected, the Harper government is moving to extend and even expand our participation in the international force targeting ISIS. The Conservatives – with the possible exception of Michael Chong – will be unanimous in their support for that motion. The NDP – with no exceptions that I’m aware of

…which, clearly, is a European insane asylum.

If you’re like me, you form judgments based upon a number of variables. You look at the evidence, and you choose. So, you look at the evidence unearthed by the United Nations, which has reported that ISIS is “selling abducted Iraqi children at markets as sex slaves, and killing other

I can breathe in this world.    

Mark my words. My band did a Toronto show on Thursday night. We played live, and we were seen by a respectable number of people as far away as Australia. I’m told we were among the first bands to ever use this new video live streaming thing in that way.
