I am having a hard time keeping up but today the official Conservative Party line appears to be that Chuck Cadman is a liar:  •  “The Prime Minister's Office has "categorically" denied any Conservatives offered a dying MP a lucrative life-insurance policy in exchange for his support on a critical …

Has there ever been a time when both the Tories and Grits polled below 30%?  •  Are we almost at that point now?

Nothing fills a Canadian with pride more than a passing reference by a politician in another country. We go all giggly and forget ourselves. This thing with Obama and NAFTA, though, is a bit different. As Ben points out, it seems to be a bit of collateral damage from the Canadian Federal …
