Dan Gardner is going to get mad at me for this
Dan Gardner is an intimidating guy. I met him about a decade ago, when he was leaving the employ of the Ontario PC government and heading off to work at…

The Ontario PCs and NDs want an election
One said they’d vote against the budget before they read it; the other says they’ll vote against it if all the demands in their ransom note aren’t met. We don’t…
Justice delayed is (hopefully) not justice denied
The latest in the Trayvon Martin tragedy, here. Hope it’s correct.
Fern Hill, Idiot: a continuing series
She doesn’t seem to understand why declaring the founder of Free Dominion her “good friend,” and linking to her, is a really bad idea. In fact, “Fern” has lately taken…
Interesting tale from Mr. Angry Dipper’s past
No wonder he looked medicated in that NDP ad!
Harper and Mulcair’s Achilles heel
Both despise the Charter, for different reasons. Harper loathes equality; Mulcair hates the idea that provinces are equal, and the Charter’s genesis. Liberals need to be all over this. If…
Prog blogs
This ain’t a blog, it’s a web site. But if I had to define it, I’d say it was indeed “progressive.” Just not a Prog Blog. Anyway, the progressive web…

CBC Dispatches
Very, very sad to see it go. I liked that program, a lot.
Danielle Smith’s “conscience” – in her own words
The Wildrose leader says doctors, nurses, marriage officials and other public officials should be able to make decisions according to their own conscience. So, what does Danielle Smith’s own “conscience”…
Whose “conscience”?
If it’s Wildrose’s “conscience,” get ready for social chaos: Then there’s “conscience rights.” The Wildrose policy book says government should “implement legislation protecting the ‘conscience rights’ of health care professionals.”…
Would Wildrose make abortions, gay marriage and equality harder to get?
Of course they would. And, if I were still home, would I vote Alberta PC for the first time in my life to stop Wildrose from seizing power? Of course…
In today’s Sun: fraud isn’t a “value”
For North American conservatives, there are two victories prized most: George W. Bush’s win over Al Gore in 2000, and Stephen Harper’s trouncing of Michael Ignatieff in 2011. In the…
