I first realised that my old friend, the Liberal Party of Canada was on the path to recovery when they introduced the Supporter category early in 2012. Canadians were invited…
For several years there has been a scattered sense amongst some so-called `progressives` that the progressive left should merge, or co-operate electorally to keep the Conservative Party out of power.…
The Liberal – Activist enemy? I have noticed something odd about the legislative agenda of the Conservative Party. Hey, I ain’t no lawyer, but it has struck me repeatedly that…
Yesterday I read a Toronto Star article entitled: How federal Liberals are using leadership race to get back in the game. The premise of the article is that the new…
The real world of electoral politics has been changing for over a decade. The Liberal Party of Canada has finally, at the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour noticed WHY…
Rob Ford will probably win if there is a mayoral by-election, and the reasons I outline here should be obvious to all. It's all about loyalty of the base vote,…
Ever since my University days, I have been interested in Trade Theory, and the potential benefits of reduced trade barriers. Despite the strong currents opposing `globalisation`around the world, the last…
I am betting that very few people indeed have given much thought to the Liberal Party’s new ‘supporter’ category of membership. I guess I can see why. Most Liberals thrive…

I am not very happy with Environment Canada in general, and Peter Kent in particular. I read this article this morning, and discovered that the Conservative Government has decided that…
Right off the nut I will state that the Robo-Call scandal is indicative of the power and reach that the Conservative Party has acquired from a full decade of populating…
It’s been awhile since I posted here. Quite awhile in fact. I make no bones about my dis-enchantment with the Green Party of Canada, and life is just too short…
Elizabeth May has been cemented in place as the Green Party leader, BUT this means the Green Party is finished with the coming elimination of the per vote subsidy. Oh…
The Green Party of Canada has been surprisingly effective in this election, in some respects anyway. I have been a vocal critic of the Leadership of the Party, but given…
Not a terribly impressive week for the Green Party of Canada. The debate about the debate has mostly run it's course, is there anything there to replace it?
Green Party of Canada is starting to leverage the debate about the debate, and relate it back to policy, and electoral obectives.
The Green Party is getting great publicity from their exclusion from the televised debate. They should have been ready to turn that into something electorally significant, instead of simply crowing…
Elizabeth May is hosting a joint news conference with Linda Keen, the Nuclear watchdog dismissed by the Conservatives for watching. Might be interesting, might actually be worthy of news coverage
