Wildrose has been dropping sharply since the bozone layer eruptions began.  The PCs now own Edmonton, and the huge Wildrose lead in Calgary has vanished.  Rural Alberta is rural Alberta: WCC, blah blah blah. Contrary to what Canada’s conservative-dominated media pundits may tell you, (a) the PCs have run a

I love it when conservatives give writing tips, and then misspell two key words in three sentences: Hey Kinsella: You would make a great writer for the National Enquire. Have you ever consider that? Totally amazing what goes thru that little mind of yours. Howard Melnikel

This story, about the loathsome Bev Oda’s willingness to blow the equivalent of most Canadians’ monthly pay on herself, reminded me of this unforgettable photo: Isn’t that gross?  What a great role model she is for our kids! Now, how about this gem, about her fellow conservative, Danielle Smith: in

The Ontario PCs are voting for one. The Ontario NDs keep issuing ransom note demands, and hold rallies to call for an election. Ontario doesn’t want or need an election. But if there is one, we’ll win it.

Harper didn’t just win by uniting the right, however. He did something else, too. For a decade, Chretien defeated conservatives by highlighting every boneheaded, xenophobic utterance by (mostly) Reform Party MPs and candidates. Harper watched this and learned, too. As soon as he won his new party’s leadership in 2004,

Danielle Smith, the former TV talking head now propped atop the Alberta Wildrose Alliance Party, should have heeded Harper’s lesson. When she had a chance to do so, Smith could have expelled the far-right lunatics who now make up a sizeable segment of her candidates. She didn’t. As a result,

It’s cold and rainy, but I’m here with Son One, Two and Three, plus two big labs. It’s perfect. One downer: gas cap was off the boat when we got to it. Could someone have actually siphoned out gas? Sad, if that’s what happened. Anyway. Board and card games await!

1. All political parties attract their fair share of idiots and extremists. 2. It happens on both Right and Left. 3. When the media or the public bring idiocy/extremism in your ranks to your attention, you shouldn’t defend it. 4. You should condemn it and, when serious, kick the idiots/extremists

Alberta voters, apparently, have a different view. Wildrose has got wasted vote in rural areas; the PCs have vote where it matters most, on the seat count. The final weekend in Alberta will be like the final weekend, federally, in 2004.  No less than Tom Flanagan has written about how

Right here. (But, whatever you do, National Post’s Jen Gerson, don’t cover that!)

Jen Gerson thinks it’s “fear mongering” to take a look at the public record of Wildrose extremists, such as the one who has called for David Suzuki’s murder.  That’s a quote: “fear mongering.”  It’s not “actual reporting,” says Gerson.  Her bosses at the National Post, who have done exemplary work

…the same Wildrose delegate, Richard Evans, who mocks Holocaust victims, and promotes the neo-Nazi Stormfront web site. Here’s an exchange between Evans and Kate MacMillan of Small Dead Animals, who you can learn more about here. So, a new question for Danielle Smith: why do you associate with someone who

…we may well win it, too.  It’ll be interesting, next week:

My daughter loves them, so do I.  So we went to a sold-out all ages show at the fabbo Parts and Labour on Queen West this week, and the Cancer Bats were epic in their god-like genius.  Epic. Saw one guy punch a hole in the ceiling when this tune

Not too good, I think, but perhaps you have a different take.

That is, Danielle Smith: Why have you recruited Richard Evans, who promotes NAMBLA and the neo-Nazi Stormfront, and who mocks Holocaust victims? Wildrose organizer Richard Evan wrote a motorcycle registration number on his arm, pretending to be a Holocaust survivor. He thought that was funny. Does Danielle Smith?

Care to disclose your chummy relationship with the guys behind the “Jew tax” story and the clannish Jewish businessmen story? You know, how one of them is now a Wildrose candidate? No? Well, carry on, then. Keep doing what you do.

Allison Redford and Danielle Smith. You may have heard of them. Feist. Has been in all the papers. Hayley Wickenheiser? Also somewhat well-known. Oh, and this idiot. He drove the school administration so crazy with his Leftist/punk rock antics, they refused to put in his picture in the yearbook the

Okay, I didn’t. But I’d give a kidney to get it.
