You would think that one of these days, the people of Alberta are going to catch on to their premier Jason Kenney. Those of us who consider him something of…
Provincial Politics
Jason Kenney puts on his black hat.
Just when you start to think Alberta premier Jason Kenney is not such a bad guy, he drops a political stink bomb. He says his province can ignore our federal…
A phony Ford forges forward.
It is hard to believe that it is so easy to con Martin Regg Cohn of the Toronto Star. The provincial affairs specialist wrote a piece the other day admiring…
Kenney dives into pipeline financing.
In a time when the rest of the world is expending all energy and funds into the war against the novel coronavirus, Alberta premier Jason Kenney is following his own…
Dougie dumbs it down.
You get the impression that our Ontario premier goes to the office each day hoping to find new things to screw up for Ontario residents. Despite the tantrum he threw…
Measuring social separation.
We should all applaud the ingenuity of cashiers and others in their efforts to maintain social separation at this difficult time. The prize for the most ingenious solution should go…
Leadership is in the eyes of the followers.
Bob Hepburn of the Toronto Star wrote an opinion piece last week that commented on Doug Ford of Ontario looking “downright ‘leaderly’.” I rarely argue with Hepburn, but in this…
Caught short in a pandemic.
We drove several hundred kilometres the other day. At least the gas was cheaper. My wife and I had to take someone some food. It made me realize how bad…
The imperfect timing of Doug Ford.
It seems that no matter what he does, Ontario’s premier Doug Ford, finds that it always costs more than he saves when he makes cuts in Ontario’s government budgets. It…
Doug Downey doubles down.
That nice guy, Bill Davis, one-time Ontario premier, must be having some sleepless nights. Those idiots in his conservative party are busy destroying Bill’s legacy. They spend more money on…

“Most stupid people are conservative.”
This will be of small comfort to premier Doug Ford of Ontario. A friend reminded me the other day of the quote from 19th Century philosopher John Stuart Mill that…
Well, that was a waste of time.
Ontario liberals have a new leader. It was a fairly decent event. I only caught some parts of it that were streamed on the Internet. It was a good technical…

A weekend of infamy.
Ontario liberals are wasting their money this weekend as they gather in Mississauga to confirm a new leaser. With a new leader, about half a million in the bank and…
The downhill dance of Doug Downey.
It is all Caroline Mulroney’s fault. Nobody wants a member of the legislature who constantly embarrasses the people in his riding. We sure got that in spades in Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte. And…
Del Duca Doesn’t Do It.
The Toronto Star actually endorsed a candidate for leader of Ontario’s liberals without telling their readers anything of importance about him. They tell us former MPP Steven Del Duca is…
This gang can’t shoot straight.
They must find these companies under a bush somewhere. We are talking about Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, a Canadian casino management company based in B.C., that is currently being taken…
Buffalo Declarations and other Bull.
There is an odour emanating from the politics of self justification in Alberta. And it is not that of the wild prairie rose. It is the greed and the false…
