Whooee! Well, friends an’ foes, a coupla days ago, I posted up a blog story on how I’d written to a buncha NDP MPs an’ to Jack Layton, too, tellin’ ’em they need to vote to keep the gun registry if they want a hope in hell of fixin’ it. The comments se…
Continue readingBouquets of Gray: How does that prorogation look now?
In light of the recent news that the enough NDP MPs will be voting against the Conservative attempt to end the gun registry, I wonder how Harper feels about his last prorogation. Instead of allowing the government to recalibrate and regroup, it seems …

Jack Layton has his own views on politics like anyone else, and sure perhaps his opinion is regarded a little more than the average person, but he is the leader of the NDP so it makes sense. As the leader of one of the major political parties in Canada…

Pollster Nik Nanos, who gets quoted in the media because he runs a polling firm, has no idea what his statistics about Canadians means. His latest poll shows that Canadians are fed up with minority government and have no faith in any of the leaders or parties. True. Apparently Mr. Nanos thinks this means that […]
Pop The Stack: Can Iggy and Jack Learn to Work Together?
You should read this interesting article at Macleans by Peter C Newman on the trials of the Liberal leader this summer. It sounds like Iggy really has come a long way in understanding Canadian politics, good for him.

Whooee! Well, friend an’ foes, I just sent an email to a few NDP MPs via an online thingamajig that lets you send it automagically. The online tool has a pre-written letter that you can sign but you can change it or write yer own letter in the space pr…

On the latest edition of CTV’s Question Period, ex-Iggy press secretary Ian Davey responded to a question about a Sun Media report by saying the Sun “is a newspaper for people who can’t read” thus betraying what most senior politicos actually think about the tabloid. The surprise is not, of
