It is with great vigour, excitement, and simulated frisson that I announce the start of the start of my run for the leadership of the Manitoba Liberal Party. I am the perfect candidate. Smart, but not too smart. Attractive, but not too attractive. Rich, but not… well, not rich at

Tony Clement to bring in performance reviews for public sector employees. “if your not performing, prepare to be out.” What a joke! I wonder if Tony Clement has some type of performance review that dictates if he keeps his job? Oh yes, I believe he does…it is called an election…and

Being on holiday has induced in me a certain mental torpor, so please forgive me if this post states the obvious. Those of us who write politically-oriented blogs are, of course, engaged intellectually and emotionally in the machinations of those we elect. And I suspect it is to our regular
