I’m kidding. RoboCon has been the biggest collective Canadian (Christian-) Conservative cock-up in the history of bonehead crooked cover-up conspiracy scandals. It’s always been interesting, we just didn’t collectively realize…
Actually, let’s start with the praise: I welcome the Sun chain’s decision to start targeting academics who are “touted as non-partisan experts” but are actually paid-up political party supporters. Of…
Professor Miles Corak had a post on The Globe and Mail’s Economy Lab yesterday comparing measures of unemployment in Canada and the U.S. I remember learning in Economics 100 that…
I’m happy the Globe and Mail is not responsible for defining words for us all. In the poll below, on its website tonight, we see them create a false choice…
Murray Mandryk’s excellent column today saves me the trouble of writing a lengthy blog post on the Saskatchewan government’s recent musings about labour legislation. From an economic perspective, it’s worth…
Did you know that Plains Midstream Canada continues to clean up the Rainbow Pipeline Leak that occurred on April 29, 2011? The largest Alberta pipeline discharge in 36 years has…

I enjoyed all three of the videos that play in succession on this CTV page. Kady live blogging in the background is amusing. I supposed most people get funny facial…
So what happened in Alberta’s election yesterday, other than people telling pollsters that they want change, then chickening out when it came time to mark an X. The Politics, Re-spun…
