That's what happens when you get up at 7:40 am. People think you work at blogging! Hah!  •  Years from now, we'll all laugh about political blogging as a flaky exercise and none will be laughed at as this sort of flake. I have this little idea: before you adhere to another's point of view, think …

Thanks heavens when people speak for those who never asked to be spoken for:  •  “Jason Kenney, the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity, said the issue has nothing to do with gender. While neutral on the panel report, he said the government opposes lowering the flag for …

This is great. No mention of what would be done to bolster Quebec in an asymetrical Canada of one nation in a country of non-nations.
