Seymour Hersh excoriates American media. Has he not read the National Post? He’d puke.
Or the rest of Postmedia? Or Sun Media? Or CTV News? Next to Canadian media, the US version is the epitome of decorum, balance and solid journalism. We live in…

Mulcair takes opposing tack to Trudeau on NDP caucus member smoking pot as MP: "I think that would be a problem."
The Liberals are looking a lot better these days, even under Trudeau’s unsteady hand. Oh, I long for Nathan Cullen at the controls of the NDP. H/t: @pdmcleod
No Stephen Maher, Justin Trudeau is not the "Paulina Gretzky of Canadian politics"

Protester farted in my face: Sun News reporter Faith Goldy
Another case of “she who smelled it, dealt it?” So shouts Fox News North. Or, Faith Goldy to be exact. Goldy spoke about the incident on The Source, saying, “”I’m…

So Ted Cruz was originally a Canadian. The shame.
Interesting Cruz was born in Calgary. Who would have guessed? Just sayin’. Now that Cruz has proffered a certificate showing his land of birth, I can’t wait for The Donald…

Wingers hate Julian Assange because he threatens the contrived security of the USA. But this from a Time magazine writer goes beyond the pale. No wonder he deleted it post-haste.…
