Here’s my straight-up views on the by-elections in Vaughan and Kitchener-Waterloo. Liberals: We won huge in Vaughan, in a seat that is comfortably Conservative federally. I didn’t expect we’d win as big as we did.  In Kitchener-Waterloo, we got clobbered in a seat held by the Conservatives for a generation.

Britain is America’s “closest ally”? Really? Thanks for nothing, Mr. President. Sincerely, Canada

…To cover Obama’s speech live!

She wanted to force an election months after the last one. She isn’t supported by her own party when it counts. She lets nutcases run for her. She isn’t honest.  Ever. She’s hiding where, and how, her party gets money. She’s lies to the media, and the public, about her party. All

His own party doesn’t like him. He has crazy policies. He was prepared to force an election months after the last one. He is prepared to put politics before peoples’ safety. His hacks conceived and managed Ornge, and were responsible for the resulting scandal. His own supporters think he’s leading

Quote: “…every federal party would kill to get its hands on a proven federalist campaigner who can bring in 50 Quebec seats after three gruelling mandates.” See? I’m not crazy. Hebert agrees. If he gets through the inquiry intact, he’s viable. The Liberal Party of Canada would do very, very

I was positively delighted to learn that an unwanted bird had finally flitted away. I can now stop hating the place, and refer work to them. Tweet tweet.

…and, as far as I know, it still isn’t on sale until the first week of October.

Like they did in this case.

When we heard this story on CBC this morning, we all got a bit sniffly. This guy is a hero – and in a Hummer, no less!

The polling firm that says the NDP is way ahead… …is the same firm that declared the Parti Québeçois was headed towards “a comfortable majority.” Why does the Star do this? Why does any media organization, for that matter? Media political polls have turned into a bloody farce. The media

I’m starting the Jean Charest for Liberal Party leader campaign, right here. Who’s in?

Winners: pro-Canada parties. Losers: pollsters, pundits, PQ.

Steve, whose stuff I read religiously, had this amazing tweet a few minutes ago: Canadians spent 28.5 hours a week watching TV last year, says CRTC, up half hour from last year. — Steve Ladurantaye (@sladurantaye) September 4, 2012 I find that amazing. A day a week! Who has time

As of Tuesday night, Canadian politics is going to change for the worse — for Conservatives, for Liberals, for independents. But the New Democratic Party won’t give a damn. As of Tuesday night — and if successive polls are correct – the Parti Quebecois will win power in Quebec. And,

A group we do work with – one focused on gender issues – is looking for an entry-level female writer, one with writing samples, great attitude, etc. Full time post. If you know such a person, or are such a person, contact me.

Seriously, why does anyone give a rat’s ass? The North of the Queensway commentariat are all a-Twitter about it this morning, comme toujours. (Their bitchy solipsism drive me nuts, which is why I don’t read them any more. But that’s a story for another day.) A few weeks back, when

Today is: 1. A great Smashing Pumpkins song; 2. The day before school starts; 3. The day before the anniversary of Brian Mulroney’s 1984 win, and the last time folks opined the Liberal Party is dead; 4. The day before the PQ wins in Quebec, and our politics get all

…is leaving The Current! Will be weird, now. Anyway, I can reveal now that said voice attended a couple SFH shows. Should’ve got him to intro us when we had the chance.
