Did we learn nothing from the Ignatieff coronation?
I agree Bob Rae as interim Liberal leader in Ottawa would be a very bad idea if he plans to run for permanent leader. Jean Chretien needs to stop playing…

I've got to admire the positive spin by some Liberal supporters out there after last night's devastating and historic defeat. The people of Canada made decisive choices yesterday. They voted…
Pollsters and seat projectors should beware Monday’s results

Harper smears Liberals for years, then asks us to save him?

Harris-Decima poll: NDP humbling Tories across the country, Liberals on top in Ontario…
Nanos's daily polls this campaign have been always interesting and entertaining, but they seem to have caught on to the NDP wave in Quebec a bit late. Their regional swings…

I'm through with CTV's Question Period, the hour-long political gab fest held each Sunday. The show's bothered me for years with its barely contained conservative biases (symptomatic, of course, of…

Shades of Ontario 1990: let’s hope this flirtation with Dippers ends this week…
This past week's flirtation with the NDP in Quebec and perhaps elsewhere reminds me of Ontario's flirtation with the NDP in 1990. Quebecers have never experienced life under NDP rule.…
What’s happening with the NDP???!
I'm as shocked as anyone at the sudden, apparent surge of the New Democrats in Quebec. It makes sense the NDP would eventually win appeal with Quebecers. Jack Layton is…

The federal campaign is now at its half-way point. Let me share some thoughts. The Daily Nanos rolling overnight polls show little change in the last two days and everyone…
Ignatieff tells Harper what leadership is all about
This was another great moment last night when we finally got to see Stephen Harper get a little truth about leadership from Michael Ignatieff. Play it often.
Great moment (among many) by Ignatieff in tonight’s debate…
While watching the post-debate spin tonight on CBC and CTV, I asked myself: 'Were we watching the same debate?' Ignore the spin doctors. Watch for yourself one of Ignatieff's many…
Debate draw…Ignatieff exceeds expectations with many voters.
Watching tonight's debate left me invigorated with Michael Ignatieff's performance and leadership. I applauded with joy his many zingers and take-downs of Stephen Harper and his record. He made the…
