The last couple of days I’ve been running across the following ad every time I go looking for clips of this or that on youtube. Below is what I got last evening. Its Justin reading a Private Member’s statement on Eugenie Bouchard, from June 4, but recycled again after her

BigCityLib Strikes Back: Justin’s Star Ascendant In Fort Mc!!!
Liberals would have won Fort McMurray #byelxn41 if held on the new boundaries, poll-by-poll results show. #YMM #LPC pic.twitter.com/JOWtfsE2ux— Pundits’ Guide (@punditsguide) July 6, 2014 Look at that top-line.

Den Tandt’s pro-Keystone sentiments are standard issue, but his bit on Liberal strategy seems sound: All of which leads us back to the Liberals: They oppose the Northern Gateway project, because it lacks local community support and because its proposed route envisions sending hundreds of oil tankers down the narrow

From Forum: As has been the case since Trudeau became leader of the Liberals, his party continues to enjoy about a 10 per cent advantage over the Conservatives in the Forum polls, 39 per cent to 30 per cent — numbers that haven’t changed since last month.The NDP sit at

…until after the November U.S. mid-terms. So probably into 2015! Although I don’t see this as much of a Cdn election issue. It doesn’t really matter what your position is on a decision that’s up to the yanks to make. Which is why I am willing to cut Justin Trudeau

Its a good hand. A surplus for the election year. Taxes to cut, and money to wave in front of people. Not unbeatable, however: some creative policy, an economy that will remain lack-lustre, a sense that its time to try things differently as long as nothing done can be tagged

From ThreeHundredEight.com: UPDATE: As appeared to be the case, Forum Research has confirmed there was an error in its two reports that listed the numbers that should have been Trudeau’s as Mulcair’s and the numbers that should have been Mulcair’s as Trudeau’s. So, the error crept in when Forum took

From his interview with Calgary Metro News:“Because of that I have been a strong promoter of the Keystone XL pipeline and also a harsh critic on the way the prime minister has approached pushing the Keystone XL pipeline. To my mind, the only thing that has prevented Keystone XL from

Justice Minister Peter MacKay is hinting that the government might take steps to “modernize” Canada’s marijuana laws: Fining pot smokers for possession of small amounts is one policy the government will likely consider.“That doesn’t mean decriminalizing or legalizing, but it does mean giving police options, for example, to issue fines

Nothing much to say about this Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey, other than that its obvious that Justin Trudeau’s missteps have cost the LPC and he’s in over his head and yada yada yada. In other news I officially finished my Xmas shopping today. Fuck you frenzied world. I intend to

The same stability marks the federal level. The Liberal Party of Canada (DFC) Justin Trudeau won five percentage points in a month, the New Democratic Party (NDP) Thomas Mulcair has lost three, but the two parties are tied among Francophones, where the majority of seats in Ottawa.Depending CROP during general

The guy raised $25,000 at a Friday night ladies night event, invoked a little Tom Friedman in the process, and this afternoon dropped a wee bit o’ policy: .@MJGismondi I (and the Liberal party) trust the Judiciary to do their jobs well, so yes.— Justin Trudeau, MP (@JustinTrudeau) November 10,

So, Justin raised 25 large at that unplugged event last night. He also fielded questions. One was: Q. Which country’s government does the “future prime minister” most admire?A. You know, there’s a level of of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn

TORONTO, OCTOBER 23, 2013 ‐ In a random sampling of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll™ among 1859 Canadians 18 years of age and older, almost 4‐in‐10 would vote Liberal if an election were held today (39%), compared to just 3‐in‐10 who would support the Conservatives (30%). Fewer than

People may have been surprised, but shouldn’t have been. Justin’s position on Keystone XL has been on record for awhile know. And though I personally oppose Keystone and all other pipelines coming out of Mordor, that is not a tenable stance for a politician looking to win a few seats in

Prime Minister Harper plays Chess; his opponents, a broken Bolivian Armpit Flute. He first wrote this column in 2007, and he’s just changed up the words a bit since.

Latest Nanos Numbers: #LPC 36, #CPC 30, #NDP 25 #PnPCBC with @evansolomoncbc #CDNpoli— Will (@natnewswatch) September 4, 2013 Don’t even think it. The economy has been, and will likely remain, anemic. Usually governments pay for that, even conservative ones who like to style themselves good stewards of the economy. Because
