To set the table: 1) In the next two years the current deficit forecast for Ontario is $18 billion. This compares to the worst of Bob Rae and is in contrast to Saskatchewan's forecasted surplus; 2) Half of all the job losses in Canada since October have been in Ontario; 3) Ontario's...

1. Muslims do not recognize Jews as God's Chosen People. 2. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 3. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world. 4. Mormons do not recognize each other at Hooters, the LCBO or the Brass Rail

After 6 years of essentially doing nothing we finally seem to be getting some action from McSquint. The goal of improving infrastructure to create jobs is a good one and reliable cheap electricity benefits both individuals and business. The Province will introduce the Green Energy Act today...

I thought this was a joke but : http://www.forbes.com/business/2009/01/07/pornography-internet-congress-biz-media_cx_lm_0107porn.html I'm surprised that Layton ( or BB or slowpoke for that matter) hasn't bashed Flaherty for not doing enough for the Canadian side of the industry.

It didn't take long for these to start appearing http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nocoalition/index.html If you are a petition type person here you go. A bit of a waste of time perhaps but here is one for what it's worth. No matter which party you voted for in the last election you didn't...

Now we all know that the danmand is the local rep for the Danish tourist agency. He supplies us with our monthly fix of the naked girls from the fish processing plant - and we all thank him for that .:) He also reminds us ad nauseam of how wonderful Denmark is including last week's claim that...

As much as I'm sick to death of politics , elections , leadership races etc a look at what is going on in the Federal Liberal party must be sending waves of nausea through the party faithful. Broke, disorientated and without direction the party will be electing a new leader in 5 months and the...

Who is your early favourite for Liberal leader after after the battered Dion steps down , leaking bodily fluids from knife wounds in the back and bruised from shots to the jaw ?

As the Conservative lead dwindles to nothing due to the world financial crisis Canada posted job gains for September in the monthly employment statistics. From a report today published by the National Bank: To date there have been no Canadian banks that have needed propping-up ( there may be...

There are many more examples than the ones listed below. These are just the ones that caught my eye this week. 1. Daily headline news and calls for a Public Enquiry on listeriosis with approx 20 deaths of primarily elderly nursing home patients but it's the back pages of the newspaper and no...

I watched snippets of the debate last night but couldn't stomach watching too much of it. Judging from the reports this morning ( as if those are reliable ) both Harper and Dion probably lost some ground in the 4 against 1 melee. Polls show any Conservative inroads in Quebec eroding and the Bloc...

This isn't about who you are going to vote but how and why you are going to vote for them. I have some suspicions about how and why people vote - for instance I don't think many people make up their mind on which local candidate they like the best - but that's just my guess.

Two weeks or so ago there was much criticism of Harper announcing an $80 million aid package for Ford. The high pitched whiney moral outrage ( as only a true lefty can emit) over vote buying and the like was deafening :p . Seems to me we should keep tally of the spending by goody handed out. To...

Read the attached story which was written after he won silver as part of the team equestrian competition. Well, he just won Gold in the individual competition. Amazing story - against all odds really. http://olympics.thestar.com/2008/article/480957

Dion's pals at Election Canada have given him to the end of next year to $690,000 in outstanding loans from the 2006 leadership campaign. Wonder if he is being charged interest ? Why can't the leader of the Liberal Party raise enough in two years to pay this off before now. The Libs have more...

I'm the first person to slag the Provincial Government for not doing anything but in this instance I think Kathleen Wynne has done the right thing in removing the Toronto Catholic school board and appointing a provincial administrator. The Board refused to deal with a sizable budgeted deficit...

It has been widely publisized that Dion wants to unveil a federal carbon tax as a cornerstone of his new platform. It is reported to be controversial within the party due to the current high cost of fuel and the medicre to bad press carbon credit trading is getting Europe. I participated in a...

What the Liberals couldn't do was done by the revalation by Bernier's ex-girlfriend that he left cabinet documents at her place http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/05/26/america/NA-GEN-Canada-Foreign-Minister-Resigns.php I can't say I blame her for this as Bernier seems to have treated her...

From Lysiane Gagnon. LaPresse ( Globe & Mail May 5, 2008) " The next federal election - whenever there is one, and it won't be any time soon- might very well be the exit door for Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe. His party is losing ground. The sovereigntist option is in such decline that...
