Thoughts at the half-way point: Harper blowing Ontario, Ignatieff has the most growth potential...
The federal campaign is now at its half-way point. Let me share some thoughts. The Daily Nanos rolling overnight polls show little change in the last two days and everyone is saying public opinion isn't budging. Remember the good old...Show More Summary
Ignatieff tells Harper what leadership is all about
This was another great moment last night when we finally got to see Stephen Harper get a little truth about leadership from Michael Ignatieff. Play it often.
Great moment (among many) by Ignatieff in tonight's debate...
While watching the post-debate spin tonight on CBC and CTV, I asked myself: 'Were we watching the same debate?' Ignore the spin doctors. Watch for yourself one of Ignatieff's many great moments tonight.
Debate draw...Ignatieff exceeds expectations with many voters.
Watching tonight's debate left me invigorated with Michael Ignatieff's performance and leadership. I applauded with joy his many zingers and take-downs of Stephen Harper and his record. He made the case this Harper government has got to go. Show More Summary
Harper G8 deception...
Kudos to where they are due: Joe Warmington in Sun Media today. “We found that money expended for the G8 infrastructure projects under the Border Infrastructure Fund were approved by Parliament without any indication that $50-million...Show More Summary
Did the Tories delay Ignatieff's wife's immigration approval for political reasons?
Would it be too sneaky for Stephen Harper and his Immigration minister, Jason Kenney, to purposely delay final approval of Zsuzsanna Zsohar's immigration application so that the Conservatives could try to make it an issue against Michael Ignatieff in this election campaign? No, surely, Harper wouldn't stoop that low...?
Harper answers his critics on chickening out of Ignatieff debate...
With answers like these, this election is over! lol
Chicken shit Harper misses his debate train...
Clearly, Stephen Harper thinks Canadians are idiots who can't even remember what he said last week. Here are the facts: Harper challenged Ignatieff to a one-on-one debate. Ignatieff agreed to it. Then Harper chickened out. Now Harper's...Show More Summary

MEMO TO ELECTION REPORTERS: 'Why wouldn't Harper just prorogue Parliament again to stop 'inevitable' coalition?'
Inquiring minds want to know if Stephen Harper has ruled out proroguing Parliament again like he did in 2008 to stop an opposition coalition from taking over? He claims such a coalition is inevitable if he only wins a minority of seats this election. Why would he not just prorogue again to stop it?
Ignatieff: "We categorically rule out a coalition or formal arrangement with the Bloc Québécois."
The Liberal Party won't try to form a coalition with any other party, Leader Michael Ignatieff promised Saturday.Ignatieff tried to pre-empt possible questions from the media — and criticism by Conservative Leader Stephen Harper — by...Show More Summary
Ignatieff should rule out a coalition with the Bloc...
Some free advice for the federal Grits: In response to the next question on the coalition, Michael Ignatieff should answer: I'll never form a coalition agreement with the Bloc or lead a government that depends on support from the Bloc Quebecois. Show More Summary
Guy Giorno's BIG LIE: Another Tory minority in 2011 could stop coalition just like in 2008...
Yes, it looks like a big theme in the upcoming Tory election campaign will be: vote Tory and give us a majority because otherwise the opposition parties will form a coalition with the Bloc Quebecois and the country will go to hell...yada yada yada...If this logic were true, we'd have a coalition government right now.

Justin Trudeau shows very poor judgment...
So much for the political judgment of Justin Trudeau. This was pretty daft on his part, I must say. Sometimes, opposition critics feel the need to criticize the government for the sake of criticizing. This should not have been one of those times. Show More Summary
Harper's as bad as you fear: "Name change for 'Government of Canada'"
What would happen to this strange personality that is our PM should he be given majority power over our beautiful country?

Greedy Scotiabank, despite tax cuts, gouges customers and drives this fed up customer away
I've been a longtime Scotiabank customer. I switched from CIBC over a decade ago because CIBC refused to allow access to its ATM machines outside working hours at its Carlton/Church location at the time due to concerns about homeless people sleeping inside its location at night. Show More Summary
Latest sleazy ads prove Harper Tories rotten to the core...
The latest sleazy ads taking Michael Ignatieff's words completely out of context prove Harper Tories are rotten to the core. There is no moral compass left. You can read about them here. I AM VERY ANGRY! These Tory scumbags deserve to...Show More Summary
Would Harper prorogue Parliament again to stop NDP-Liberal coalition after 2011/12 election?
Reading Chantal Hebert's article today in the Star got me thinking about an important question that I have not yet heard asked of Prime Minister Stephen Harper: if a coalition agreement between the NDP and Liberals is inevitable if his...Show More Summary
