Very interesting look at the contents of CIMS, the Tory equivalent of the Liberalist. Scroll through the powerpoint presentation – the link is in the 9th paragraph: The Conservative Party’s system is widely reported to be the largest. Every time you write a Conservative MP, every time you

The NDP leadership race is heating up and the most interesting development to me is that there seems to be a competition growing for who can be the most concerned about the sorry state of our democracy and the most committed to fix it. Take Peggy Nash, her website has

Continue readingGlobe & Mail dips its toes into Robogate
Globe & Mail editorial office The Globe & Mail, that dusty old Miss Haversham of a newspaper, has been notably silent on the Robogate scandal, dancing around it like a wounded Dervish. It has yielded the floor to another Conservative publication, the National Post of all papers, to take the
Continue readingTerahertz: No clear mandate #ndpldr
The race to be the next leader of the NDP and Leader of the Official Opposition is looking like it’s going to take at least a few rounds to decide. Few candidates seem to have wide enough support to win on the first, or even second ballot. In which case,

Don’t worry everyone, MP RoboCop is on the job! Fantino, the former Toronto police chief who is Tory MP for Vaughan, said he, too, is trying to get answers after his name turned up in court documents […] “From my personal experience over 40 years of law enforcement I think

For the first time ever, the poverty level in each region of the world has fallen. According to the World Bank’s Development Research Group, the number of people living on less than $1.25 per day (at 2005 prices) was less in 2008 than it was in 2005. This report suggests

…and fawned all over? An officer of the Order of Canada. Looks like Conrad will keep his medal. Different rules, of course, for a one-legged man fallen on grim times, an old Aboriginal who said stupid things too close to a microphone, and a shady Sikh lawyer. [H/t]

The National Energy Board is conducting hearings on Enbridge’s proposal for a pipeline from Alberta’s tar sands to the town of Kitimat in the heart of BC’s Great Bear Rainforest. If approved, over 200 oil tankers would be navigating the difficult waters off BC’s Northwest Coast each year, making widespread

Our leader of course is Bob Rae. He makes a point on Facebook: According to the RCMP, March is “fraud prevention month”. I hope that includes electoral fraud… WFDS

The media is developing a disturbingly schizophrenic mentality about last year’s election fraud. On the one hand, there are a score of new reports every day of ridings where people are coming forward saying they received calls impersonating Elections Canada or the Liberal Party and redirecting them to a bogus

No apologies for violating my own “nil nisi bonum” rule with that cartoon by Gilbert Shelton. There are always exceptions. Breitbart filled a much-needed gap. He lived a mercifully short life. He singlehandedly did the near-impossible—lowering the already wretched state of American political discourse still further, building his nest in

[This post appeared last week, in slightly modified form, at KevinMd.com. Nice to see it’s generating a huge response and vigorous debate there. TE.] For the past month, the case of Amanda Trujillo has resonated deeply among nurses, triggering an avalanche of postings on Facebook, Twitter and in the nursing blogosphere.

At least that seems to be the consensus at the following newspapers: The National Post The Vancouver Sun The Hamilton Spectator The Toronto Star The Calgary Herald The Lethbridge Herald The Ottawa Citizen The St. John’s Telegram And the list goes on, with one predictable exception, of course: The Toronto

This just in from Stephen Harper’s hometown paperThe Calgary Herald: For Harper Tories, prison spending trumps seniors The Harper government is prioritizing new prison spending over maintaining seniors’ retirement benefits, for reasons known only to itself. There is only so much money out there so the obvious solution is to

One of the things that struck me when I was in Shanghai five years ago was the number of adolescent boys on school outings. I knew, of course, that there are a lot of “missing” girls, because Chinese parents for more than a generation have been trying to get around

Robo calls, robocon, election fraud. These things are on the minds of many due the alleged fraudulent phone calls from the Conservatives or their friends. Yesterday we learned from CBC that Elections Canada was visiting the offices of RMG. RMG is likely the largest supplier of robo calls and voter contact in the
