But you’ve got to admire his willingness to make a pile of predictions, willy-nilly, with nary a qualifier in sight. This is a columnist operating without a safety net, folks, and it’s a wondrous thing to behold. – Syndicated from http://…

It’s early days. But watching NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair destroy himself, as he is now inarguably doing with his anti-West tirades, makes for compelling theatre. In politics, no wound is ever as deep as the self-inflicted one. And Mulcair — with his stubborn insistence that he is right and everyone else is wrong — has [...]

What a week newly minted NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has had! Ever since he donned his tinfoil hat and started hollering at passersby, quite a few of us have started to worry about him. There he stood on Parliament Hill, shaking his fists at the heavens, gnashing his teeth and rending his garments. Sounding crazier [...]

Take that, Con cheaters!
Woot!

Photo taken by the top-notch Star man, David Rider: Rob Ford – yes, him – at a rally against homophobia. Wow.

The G20 was the biggest abridgment of civil liberties in Canada in a generation. It was a disgrace. It was an outrage. This report, like all of the other reports, misses the real culprit: the idiot – the bloody fool – who chose to impose the G20 on Canada’s largest city in the first place. [...]

Taken at his big Guelph “townhall,” a few minutes ago. Ouch.

I try and get Rageaholic Tom to calm down. Doesn’t work.

Jacob Blum, along with his well-documented struggles with drugs and homophobia, is a Conservative, and – just a few months ago – a former Ontario PC campaign manager.  He was also one of the Conservatives who helped create and manage Ornge, and who was paid handsomely for it along the way.  He was, turns out, [...]

This could have been summarized in a tweet.
Then we saw who wrote it, and understood.

…and out of it emerges a portrait of a greatly self-indulgent, spoiled, dislikable little twerp.

Can’t wait to hear tomorrow from the anti-gay Ontario PC campaign manager with, er, a pharmaceutical interest! Also coming up in coming days: this session by Messrs. Giorno and Martin, both at Fasken’s, both advisors to Ornge and both card-carrying Conservatives! Wow! There sure were a lot of card-carrying Conservatives making big bucks at Ornge, [...]

VIS are always hard to read, but this one more than most.

A girlfriend sent me this oldie-but-goodie link last night and I couldn’t help but re-post. What’s your Smurf Name? When I type in my full legal name, I’m Brainy Smurf… but when I type in my moniker, I’m Dopey Smurf. Hmm, perhaps a little of both? Not your cup of smurf? Check out your Mafia [...]

Brad Lavigne looked stumped, for a moment or two. Lavigne — the brilliant Jack Layton loyalist who helped pilot the New Democratic Party to its historic gains in the election of one year ago — seemed uncertain, however briefly, about what his answer should be. In an exchange with Tim Powers — the much-liked Conservative [...]

Sent by reader Scott, spotted in NYT on Sunday. He and I found this weird. You?

The Alberta result should remind us all that is foolhardy to read too much into polls, and particularly one poll.  But this depressing result is consistent with a batch of other recent surveys – that the contest is now between the Conservatives and the New Democrats, federally.  And that the once-mighty Liberals don’t factor.
