The second Alison Party of Alberta 30-second advertising spot, which, like the first, fails to properly identify the advertiser. Below: Ms. Redford as she appears in the second ad and the logo if the Television Bureau of Canada. The Alison Party of Alberta’s two new TV ads are not ready

If there is anything that the last decade in Canadian politics has proven, it is that Canadians want a strong leader that can connect and be liked by the people. The Liberal party nominated twice in a row a leader which had significantly problems with likeability and resulted in back

INTERNATIONAL POLITICS: THE KING IS DEAD; LONG LIVE THE KING: The news tonight is that the North Korean dictator Kim Jong–Il has gone to join his unlamented father in apotheosis. The Korean regime has in fact gone well beyond the bizarre mutation of a Marxist hereditary monarchy. It has become

North Korean Dear Leader and Axis of Evil alumnus Kim Jong-Il boards the last train to Deadsville. Hmm. Bonus track: From last year, Hitchens on North Korea.

So last night Mallory went to bed at the usual time. As often happens, I hear her fumbling for her water bottle. This is followed by a short period of silence, which is followed by more sounds of water bottle being put back on shelf. This is followed by silence.

The story, courtesy of the UK Telegraph: For the first time on record, the Chinese Communist party has lost all control, with the population of 20,000 in this southern fishing village now in open revolt. The last of Wukan’s dozen party officials fled on Monday after thousands of people blocked

Today we learned that the stable Harper majority government has launched yet another round of ads trumpeting the Conservative Party’s unfulfilled commitment to repeal the life saving long gun registry. But why now, right before Christmas? They have a majority in the House of Commons. They could have passed their

We've twice (here and here) alluded to something rather odd happening on the Blood & Honour forums (as opposed to the Blood and Honour International/Combat 18 forums). Given that three of their own have been accused of and arrested for a series of assaults in Vancouver, one might expect something

Interesting article in the Straight about Kenney’s ascension in the Conservative ranks. The writer Charlie Smith feels that Kenney is the logical successor to Harper, with the scandals plaguing former favourite Peter MacKay all but eliminating the very elite Minister of National Defence from contention. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has
