I must admit, I’m pleasantly surprised how the Liberals have managed to keep themselves in the news, despite a NDP leadership race and the obvious struggles for a third party. As a matter of fact, I think you could cobble together a fairly convincing argument that the Liberal Party is

Are the BC Liberals a coalition of federal Conservatives and Liberals or are the Conservatives and Liberals just a federal party not yet united? There’s an answer to that question and though it relies on perspective, it doesn’t rely on your own. The BC Liberal Party is sometimes cited as

While the story focuses on rehashed nothingness, there is something informative at the bottom of the Bob Rae article, namely the Liberals might have finally discovered this one province in Canada, think they call it Quebec: He said the Liberals will be stumping in Quebec in early 2012 to pick

Reading Belinda Stronach’s column this morning, I was struck by this passage in particular: In the case of the Liberal Party, it has actually been liberated by circumstance to think about the state of politics and the future of the country in a way the government just can’t do. This
Continue readingFar and Wide: Liberal Primaries: Order Matters
In reviewing the Constitutional Amendments Liberals will be voting on at the Convention, the section on the Liberal primaries is fascinating. An obscure group to be known as the “Leadership Vote Committee” deserves some attention, because their arbitary decisions have enormous impact, given the staggered nature of these primary proposals.

To me, an important part of the job of President of the Party is to know what the job is and isn’t. It’s an organizational role, one that requires communications and the ability to build bridges to get the job done. What it is not is a spokesperson position. The

With the fall sitting of Parliament behind us- the first since the Conservatives won their majority- perhaps a good time to analyze where the Liberals sit, now that the election rejection dust has settled. If I could choose one word to describe the current Liberal predicament “resilient” seems appropriate, both

In this time of Liberal rebuilding, the Party President must work for,and be accountable to the membership. It is not enough to simply chairmeetings or to be a talking head on TV, a President must have thepassion and experience for organizational management required to takeon the heavy tasks of rebuilding

It was the Liberals who proposed as part of their attack ads that Harper was a man with a “secret agenda.” I considered these attack ads (as I consider all attack ads) pure trash. Harper was upfront about both his policies and politics, from mega-prisons and the elimination of the

As I’m sure everyone knows by now, in parliament yesterday, Liberal MP and Guy Fawkes impersonator Justin Trudeau called Environment Minister Peter Kent a “piece of shit.” Despite being factually accurate, Trudeau subsequently apologized unreservedly to the House for his “decidedly unparliamentary” remark. Speaking on CTV’s “Power Play” later in
