What didn’t happen Monday?
We all know that liberal Justin Trudeau blew his chance at a majority in the election. Luckily some of the house cleaning he was unwilling to do was done for…

That’s it for Global’s West Block.
It always impressed me the excellent job Tom Clark did with the West Block show on Global Television. Tom always had a leg up with me because I respected his…
An Election Nobody Wanted?
It was back at the beginning of this election that I laughed at the complaints and said how much I enjoyed elections. As the rest of our voters go to…
Hey, White Man?
The Toronto Star has gone over the edge. They found a professor in Ottawa who thinks it is alright to call Canadians of European origin “white men” and infer that…
Dougie, Where Are You?
It’s amazing that the two most obnoxious conservative premiers in Canada could hide out so long. The news media probably know where they were but did not care. Jason Kenney…
An Imperfect Solution.
It might as well be admitted. I voted early. I voted liberal. There is really no choice in my Barrie riding. In a field of four candidates, there is no…
A Fool’s Frustration.
Conservative leader Erin O’Toole does not seem happy in his job. In this last week of our federal election, he is lashing out at others rather than recognizing the weaknesses…
The Perfidy of Quebec.
This argument is not going away quietly into the night. Premier Legault of Quebec said the other day that the question of Quebec’s Bill 21 and 96 did not belong…
The Unbiased Media?
Erin O’Toole is the only politician, in this election, I have heard promise to cut the funding of the CBC. Yet the CBC seems to be the only television network…
A Bigot’s Endorsement.
Dammit Justin, can’t you get anything right? You were supposed to trash the Bloc’s Blanchet in the French-language debate. In the English-language debate your targets were conservative Erin O’Toole and…
Vote Local, Think Local.
The wife and I voted on Friday. We usually vote at advance polls. It is a habit from years of working on campaigns. I usually know if my vote will…
Is it a Dead Heat?
It looks like there will be a lot of arguments in the days ahead about how Canada elects its politicians. When you are electing 338 individual members of parliament across…
Updating the Book.
There is a flow to this election. It is like the wave that starts far out to sea as a gentle roller. It grows in size and anger until it…
O’Toole’s Flip-Flops.
It is unlikely that the air force ever taught conservative leader Erin O’Toole anything about weapons. Navigators mostly stick to the mathematics of figuring out where they are and why…
Throwing the first stone.
And who will throw the first stone? It seems we now have protestors throwing stones at prime minister Justin Trudeau. It is easy to blame the anti-vaxxers, the libertarian extremists…
Decision in Quebec.
There is much riding on the French language debate tomorrow. It could be equated to an English language debate for just Canada’s western provinces. It would have different spectres to…
Promises, Promises.
It was while plowing through the major parties’ promises in this election that I realized it was a waste of time. It is not just the wasted promises of those…
Is there an App for that?
Who was that masked man on the white horse riding to our rescue at Queen’s Park the other day? “Yes,” he said, “There will be vaccine passports in Ontario.” Whether…
Polls Fail Us.
It is a form of self abuse that I often study the polls that are available on-line. These polls cannot and do not always tell us the truth. Remember, they…
O’Toole Troubles Mother Nature.
It’s a strange platform that the Mr. O’Toole is trying to sell us. He will promise anything to voters but he fails to understand that he is pissing off Mother…
