Trashy's World: New Tea Party personalities…
Some of these new Tea Party candidates are pretty vicious. Gwendolene Thomason, 42, a Tea Party supporter from Jefferson City, was one of the hundreds on hand who were convinced that the Doberman was a Tea Party candidate until he was outed as a dog. “I liked what he had to say,” she said. ”He […]

The Happy Wanderer: Can We take Toronto-Danforth Part 3
So far in my last two post I have said that after the three elections; 2004, 2006 and 2008. The Liberals would likely win a by-election where Jack Layton would no longer be running, but a by-election today wouldn’t be that Liberal leaning. The Reason: …

The Liberals pledge to offer $10 000 in tax credits to Ontario businesses that hire new immigrants is spot-on. It might just be the cure for a stubborn cancer called “Canadian experience”. Foreign-trained immigrants with professional creden…

Well, it appears that Tim Hudak supporters are attacking former Progressive Conservative leaders, instead of Tim Hudak himself. I’m not entirely sure I’ve seen a sitting Progressive Conservative MPP, standing for re-election, attack one of th…

Four years ago this month, a sizeable chunk of Ontario’s Progressive Conservative supporters already had their knives out and sharpened for John Tory. This was based upon the belief that Tory was not a true conservative like Tim Hudak and tha…

There has been talk of the Liberals and NDP merging. The justification for this is that the split in the progressive vote allows the Conservatives to form a majority with 40% of the vote. This is a legitimate concern but the splitting of the vote is only a problem because of our First Past the […]

A main focus of this blog is to consider and compare different political and ethical philosophies so as to promote better understanding of one’s own worldview and those of others. I frequently focus on progressivism/liberalism and libertarian conservativism, arguing that these incompletely overlapping moral/political philosophies each have their own internal logic and validity, but that […]
