Let me be the first to point out that, once again, my votes did not carry the day so I can assert the ability to spot a very bad stretch when I see one. And, just so I can also be among the first to point it out, between the massive win in Newfoundland yesterday for an anti-Harper Tory and today's …

First let me say well done Danny. Any Tory who is anti-Tory is my kind of Tory. Maybe he tries for NL independence next.  •  And it is now clear that I am voting for MMP because no one else is. Most people I know who are intelligent and well-informed are not, through the pure badness of the MMP …

Two more Greyhound buses for …

What an odd debate it is that is breaking out in Alberta over the report that is stating decades of Conservative governments have been giving away their oil. Alberta's government owns the resource and gets to charge a royalty for it's exploitation. While the new Premier has to make the decision …
