You know I care. I do care. I care deeply for all those foundering in the world of Federal politics, each participant unable to get a foot hold, make a good impression, get their heads above water let alone the fray. So it was with some interest that I read the latest poll on who we like amongst …

You knew it was coming. Usually it doesn't start up until the second week. But accusations are now flying, claiming that the reason Canada has no medals in the Olympics yet is due to the fact that our "sport spending" falls short:  •  "Why are they so good?"
