I don’t recall anyone in caucus objecting to what he said about the niqab
The last elected Liberal leader, that is. Quote: Personally, I have always been a Liberal who opposed the anti-niqab hysteria, as here. I sure don’t recall many other Liberals saying…

Ladurantaye thinks my Hill Times mug shot is edgy
What do you think? (Also, free journalist insider lingo: they call it “head furniture.”)
Abacus: what do you want in a leader?
Mulcair: serious, competent. Harper: serious, experienced. Trudeau: young, modern. Poll here. What do you think will be the ballot question on voting day? What will it be in the Spring?…
