Worst logo ever
Oh my Lord, this is awful. The old Ontario Liberal logo was amazing – creative, eye-catching and full of meaning. It was also the product of a lot of consultation and research. The new logo, dropped from on high, is terrible. Bland, boring, blecch. I sure don’t see candidates wanting to send in big cheques [...]
This mess the Senate’s in
A legal opinion, a request from the NDP and a statement from Patrick Brazeau
When your spin is on crack
When I first saw this last night – in the midst of the Leafs’ loss, the re-entry of Chris Hadfield and other stuff – I thought it was a social media prank. You know, that the Conservatives were spinning the Liberal Party’s massive win in Labrador as a loss. But it was true. To wit: [...]
Made in the USA: BC election donation list rife with front groups for American anti-oilsands lobbyists
Will US donors tip the balance of the BC election, and install an NDP government? The list of "advertising sponsors" who have registered with Elections BC suggests they will. The BC Liberal Party will likely out-fundraise the NDP when...

Being old is not what it used to be
The CPP is sustainable and reliable, but it is time to review whether RRSP is working as a vehicle. “Old age is not for sissies,” said Bette Davis. Indeed, it is not, but the images from our childhood of what it meant to be “old” have changed dramatically. Show More Summary

If you are reading this, I am dead
You want a lede? This is a lede. Wow. If you are reading this, I am dead. How’s that for a lead? Guarantees you read on, at least for a bit. When the Sun’s George Gross died suddenly in March 2008, at age 85, there were few of his contemporaries left alive to recall the old [...]

Conservatives' reaction to Labrador byelection
Here is what the Conservatives had to say about the by-election in Labrador tonight, in an email sent to the press gallery. As I understand this message, the Liberals should have done a lot better; the Conservatives were counting on...
In Tuesday’s Sun: a victory for Dix (but not the Leafs)
Tuesday is voting day in British Columbia. And, by provincial standards, it’s been a pretty staid affair. For example, the Mounties didn’t raid the legislature — although, they did do that back in 2003, in a criminal probe of bribery and influence peddling involving senior B.C. Liberal staff. Nor were there any fisticuffs between politicians [...]

I admire Tim Hudak
I knew that little headline would get your attention! And it’s true. Being the guy (currently) most likely to become Premier if (theoretically) there is an election, Hudak could have chosen the easy course. He could have chosen discretion over valour. He could have jumped on the popular and populist bandwagon, like Kathleen Wynne and [...]
