Alberta Politics: RCMP raid on UCP candidate’s business, polling trends, hordes of advance voters wind up the Internet
Alberta’s Internet was in a furious swivet last night. There seemed to be something to wind everyone up as we enter the final stretch of a provincial election both sides have characterized as an epochal event sure to seal the fate of the province if it goes the wrong way.
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Will Andrew Scheer’s Con Friends Help Justin Trudeau Defeat Him?
In Alberta the advance polls are open, and Albertans have started voting in a provincial election Jason Kenney and his United Conservative Party are favoured to win.But the UCP has been hit by one bigot eruption after the other. The RCMP is looking into allegations of voter fraud during Kenney's leadership

I teach crisis communications to lawyers-to-be at the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Law, my alma mater. My students, as always, are terrific. And, for the whole term, we’ve been focussing on just one topic: LavScam. It makes sense. LavScam is the perfect fusion of a communications crisis and the
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Andrew Scheer, Faith Goldy, and the Right-Wing Extremists
It was one of the most grotesque interviews I have ever seen. Two right-wing Christian fanatics on the bigot Rebel, discussing why they could never support a harmless motion condemning islamophobia, not long after a gunman killed six Muslims in Quebec City.And then cheerfully making plans to go duck hunting together.Andrew Scheer

As the Great Polar Bear God of the Great White North knows, I did everything I could this weekend to try to escape the fake scandal.I went over to the island and finished painting my friend's sailboat. I read a lot of stuff but nothing about Canadian politics. I hung out
Continue readingWarren Kinsella: Five things about Scheer’s #LavScam press conference today
1. He looked and sounded Prime Ministerial. Moreover, most Canadians want Trudeau gone; the election is therefore now a referendum on whether Andrew Scheer is up to the job. Moments like these suggest he is. 2. Justin Trudeau is clearly attempting to libel chill any public discussion of Lavscam. It
Continue readingAlberta Politics: An election’s coming and the PM’s treading water – where’s a Russian to blame now that we need one?
It was a year ago Friday that the government of Canada declared Kirill Kalinin and three other Russian diplomats persona non grata and sent them packing for using, in the words of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, “their diplomatic status to undermine Canada’s security or interfere in our democracy.” Nobody bothered

Assorted content to end your week. – Will McMartin writes that if we needed more evidence that Jason Kenney’s trickle-down economics are nothing but a scam to concentrate more wealth in the hands of the rich, British Columbia’s own moves in the same direction produced none of the promised economic

“We will be there to support you one 1000%. What I can tell you one thing… I promise you… you won’t have to be protesting on the front of Queen’s Park like you did with the Premier here” Doug Ford Was Mike Harris really that good that we needed a

The last two prime ministers tell us much about this country of Canada. In June 2015, I wrote a comment on PM Stephen Harper, accusing him of being a bully. It seemed to be his way of making up for his deficiencies as a human. A reader reminded me of

Dear Liberals: This is an open letter to all of you. I want to start it by telling you why I became a lawyer. It was a movie, called The Oxbow Incident. It was a Western, released some 75 years ago, and it starred Henry Fonda. It was about how

…and this is just the start, you phony SOB. Dozens of young women here for Daughters of the Vote turn their backs as Trudeau speaks -in solidarity with Ms Wilson-Raybould and Ms Philpott pic.twitter.com/aAhdlDHrcS — Peter Julian (@MPJulian) April 3, 2019 A stunning demonstration of young women speaking truth to

Let’s start with a pop quiz. Who said this? “One of the biggest issues will be the question of how much of current revenue from non-renewable resources should be saved and how those savings should be invested … so that, if the day ever comes that oil and gas isn’t

From Butts’ notes. This does nothing but confirm every damn word JWR has said. (And – PS – how does Butts have verbatim quotes? Did they tape her?)

There was a moment, during Justin Trudeau’s saturnalian March 7 LavScam press conference, where the Prime Minister waxed poetic. He grew misty-eyed. He looked up from his notes. He sounded wistful. He loved Justice, he said. He really did. He and his Dad both did. “The files that were closest

There are so many good reasons to expel Jody Wilson-Raybould from the Liberal Party caucus.Her incompetence, her vindictiveness, her creepy secret taping of the decent Michael Wernick, her crass attempt to destroy the leader of her own party.And her total failure to recognize that enough is enough. But I really like

If the 2019 Election is going to be based on pocketbook issues, and affordability – lets look into the pocket book of Andrew Scheer, and how we cannot afford him any longer. Andrew Scheer, quite simply is one of the expensive politicians of all time. The only April Fools are
