Globe Columnist Tamara Baluja is Clueless
As is very evident by this article she wrote for the globe, chastising the Liberals for “lagging” in the upcoming by-election on March 12th 19th, because we don’t have a…
Let Thy Backbenchers Speak
With the private members bills, petitions, and MP statements floating around about abortion and defunding the CBC and other topics of low importance but major controversy, one wonders whether or…

Oh Raj Sherman, Stop Trying to Get Into the News
Attacking the federal Liberals and Bob Rae over the Northern Gateway Pipeline is not how you’ll boost your poll numbers. You’re flogging a dead horse, my friend. And this comes…

Abacus Poll: 37-28-21, and the "Bump"
Too many polls have come out this week, and I hope this will be the last one (oh, who am I kidding?). Abacus Data shows an overhyped, within-the-margin-of-error rise for…
HD Poll: 32-29-25
This is the second poll now to show the federal Conservatives blow 35%, the other being the recent EKOS polling done last month, which had them at 31.4%. In fact,…
Changes to the Blog
If you’ve noticed I’ve been making some changes to the blog’s appearance, mostly with the generally-non-customizable “Dynamic” templates from Blogger. Does anyone not like this style? Give me some feedback.
