Canadian Soapbox: Its going to be a Harper Majority
The polls open in less than 24 hours, so its time for a prediction…and sorry to say it looks to me like a Harper majority. Based on the polls, especially those relating to the province of Ontario, I see Harper’s Conservatives garnering somewhere…

Politics, Re-Spun: A Compendium of My Prime Minister Layton Posts
I’ve enjoyed writing four pieces about the Prime Minster Layton concept in the last 2.5 years. Originally, it was a wishful thinking hyper long-shot in a prorogation crisis at a time when the Liberals had no firm leader. Then in June 2010 it was a curiosity when polling indicated a Jack Layton-led coalition with the […]

Next deadlock: Alberta
I refuse to believe that the people of Alberta are as socially conservative and right wing as their political representation suggests. I do not believe that the people of Alberta would take away a woman’s right to control her body, or is genuinely oppo…

Extremism in the pursuit of a goal is still extremism
A couple of days ago, we wrote about a hand picked Harper gun policy advisor who compared Canadian police officers to Hitler’s genocidal SS.
It reminded us of George H.W. Bush’s resignation fro…
