Today, at 6:30pm Mountain time, Sun TV ran a story that, in 1996, Jack Layton was in a massage parlour when it was raided by the Toronto Police Service. Jack Layton was found, naked, in a room as the massage therapist was leaving the room with a wet tissue of some kind in her hand….
Read moreSomething Nobody is Talking About #elxn41 #cdnpoli #polls41
I’m just throwing this out there, because, based on what Stephen Harper has been saying, as of right now, it seems fairly unlikely, however elections can cause strange things to happen. Michael Ignatieff and Stephen Harper agree on little. But it does seem that Ignatieff and Harper DO agree that a government headed by Jack…
Read moreLiberal Problem Solving #elxn41 #cdnpoli
Step 1: Solve a non-problem with a new government program. It doesn’t matter that the solution is not to any particular problem; but, by golly, governments do things better than individual citizens, so we need a solution! Step 2: Tax People to pay for Solution found in Step 1. Government programs need bureaucrats to administer…
Read moreCoalition – Yes, No, Well maybe, If Necessary but Not Necessarily, Yes Maybe No, and No again.

Barb Higgins is a well-known personality in the Calgary region, given she has spent 21 years at the anchor desk at a popular TV station. The public knows her through her journalism, professionalism, and integrity in front of the camera. For that, I can not criticize her in any way, shape, or form….

I have spent a lot of time in discussions with an interesting and cordial Liberal Party supporter (possibly also a member but I’m not sure as I never asked her.) These chats happen over on Twitter, where she goes by the username @libartsandminds. Obviously, when dealing with incorrect ideology, we don’t agree on much, and…
Read moreMuch Ado About Nothing
Only in Canada can a national crisis erupt over something as mundane as the census, but that’s precisely what has happened. Federal Industry Minister Tony Clement has decided that in 2011, the long form of the census will be option, on the basis that the questions asked are extremely intrusive. I’ve read the census form. …
Read moreCorrespondence with the PMO
Am I the only one who sees the irony? Original message: Dear Mr. Prime Minister It is very rare that I choose to correspond with a sitting Prime Minister, for a couple of reasons: (a) because it seems to accomplish nothing, and (b) the response seems to always come from some ‘flunky’ in the PMO…
