Speculation regarding Jack Layton’s successor had already begun within days following his death. Personally, I thought it was in poor taste. Kind of predatorial, really.

Anyway, it’s all now in full swing as of today and as Jean Lapierre mentioned . . . → Read More: And Now, Let the Leadership Race Games Begin…But Before That, Let’s View The Quebec Challenge

Jack Layton’s state funeral service couldn’t have been more fitting. Different kinds of music being played, from classical to Quebecois from Martin Deschamps to pop to a gospel rendition of a 60′s Youngbloods’ classic by Julie Michel. The musical selections also represented something Jack Layton strived toward, besides social democracy; diversity. In fact, not . . . → Read More: Jack Layton’s Funeral, Learning About Jack, The Family Man. A Few Words To Critics,

The title pretty much explains how I feel about the tweets and the general reactions from the blogosphere and . . . → Read More: Witch Hunt On Nycole Turmel Shows How Much of Canada Really Doesn’t Get The Bloc Quebecois, Forgets Certain Precedents, And Priorities Screwed

Well, what do we have here? Some Harpercons along with Timmy Powers, warning that Nycole Turmel will be “no 1 target” of her political opponents.
“She will find herself under scrutiny, and already has, for her past support of the Bloc Québécois. The NDP is vulnerable on issues of separatist accommodation and she . . . → Read More: I’m Sure Mme Turmel Expects Nothing Less

Jack Layton made the announcement this morning alongside Olivia Chow in Toronto.

Finally, I post my thoughts about the NDP filibuster of Stevie Spiteful’s draconian Back to work legislation of locked out Canada Post workers and the press coverage it has received, along with many Canadians’ attitude toward it.

Yes, nice to know that the military industrial complex is still very much a concern on the feeble minds of certain yahoo Harpercons.
