NDP Governments Are Always Fun!
Gawd! This gal from the new Alberta provincial NDP government is giving me flashbacks to Rae Days. Although I don’t think Bob Rae had a death-metal chick in caucus, just…
Your Daily Nazi: PCPO MPP Monte McNaughton In Nazi Leaning Local Newspaper?
So there’s an T.O. East End Newspaper called Your Ward News. From what I gather its mostly a direct mail affair; the publisher, a guy named Leroy St. Germaine, has…
That Poll…
Its just one poll, and a preliminary result as well. But pretty damn interesting. And not entirely surprising given Notley’s victory out West. It will be important to see the…
Right Wing Mag Sacks Michael Coren!
His problem? The Interim could no longer countenance the guy’s heterodoxy! So: Boom! Coren’s outta there, and apparently being replaced by some dude who will natter on endlessly about Free…
Is CBC Hate Speech Story Bullshit?
WK thinks its bullshit, and he’s mostly right. It would be really, really difficult to use CDN hate-speech laws to go after the BDS movement, for reasons he cites. And…
Patrick Brown’s Piss Poor Prospects
Kid’s already got issues. A PCPO exodus has already started: I’ve been a member of the Ontario PCs more or less continuously since about 1972 and have voted for them…
Has Stats Canada Screwed Up job Numbers?
#ldnont has never had a month where 4000 people left the labour force. This month’s data? 5000 gone. It’s an error. @LFPress @KevinLabonte — Mike Moffatt (@MikePMoffatt) May 8, 2015…
Alberta: What It All Means
1) Its not great news for the LPC. Though federal NDP leader Angry Tom is entirely without The Notley Charm, some residual glow from her victory will surely fall upon…
Life In Scarborough: Today, A Curse Was Laid Upon Me…
…by a little old lady in Sunday-Morning-Churchy gear. She was walking towards my bus shaking her fist at the sky. When it slowed to pick her up, she pointed and…
Ontario Sex Ed Curriculum As A Federal Issue
When I first read that Team Trudeau was blaming its recent slide in the polls on the new Ontario Sex Education curriculum, I didn’t buy it. But Lo!, here is…
The New Abacus Poll…
…gives the Tories an 8 point edge nationally. This can be won back, but given the CPC’s $ advantage pre-campaign, I wouldn’t be surprised if it holds up until the…
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Rob Ford To Run For CPC Against Bill Blair?
OMG!!! OMG!!!OMG!!! Sooo @towhey says that Doug Ford talked this morning about Rob Ford running against Bill Blair for Scarborough Southwest federal seat— Siobhan Morris (@siomo) April 26, 2015 So…
Alta Liberal Leader David Swann: I’ll Just Lay Here And Bleed, Thank You Very Much
If you can’t vote Liberal, vote for someone else? That’s his message? Not: we’re Liberal and we’ve got great, progressive ideas? No! It’s: WE’RE LAME! KICK OUR ASS! PLEASE! BETTER…
A Hard Luck Campaign For Minister Penis…I Mean Denis
Just some notes recycled from twitter: @davecournoyer @a_picazo Prentice to self: “I’ll just call an early election. What can possibly go wrong?”— Bigcitylib (@Bigcitylib2) April 25, 2015 And: @a_picazo @davecournoyer…
New LPC Ad Is Pretty Clever
They’ve bought space during some of tonight’s hockey games, apparently. Probably for just a night or two, and then they’ll hope The Net spreads word a bit further. They’ll get…
NEW NANOS NEGATES NERVOUS NELLY-ISM!!!!
As you may know, Nanos does internal ballot tracking every week. Based on the four week rolling average, the Liberals are at 34 per cent, the Conservatives at 29 per…
Ostrander Point Wind-Farm Case Goes Back To Tribunal
The decision is here. Put briefly, the case will now get bounced back down to the Ontario ERT, where Ostrander Point Wind Energy will have a chance to convince the…
The Brown Retort
Since Patrick Brown looks set to become PCPO leader, its good to start looking for sources of intel on him now. The Brown Retort has material on the PC MP…
Oh Alberta! NDP Way In Front?
Even the pollsters involved don’t quite buy it. And they are using “google surveys” to compile their results, so make of that what you will. As an aside, sure he’s…
