Liberals entered the 4 by-elections with 4 seats and left with only 3. They lost a seat in Saskatchewan while retaining seats in BC and two in Toronto. Winners for being elected in 3 out of 4 or losers for losing one of the seats they previously held ? Depends on which side of the fence you sit...

The Liberal party must think the general public is dumb. Faced with the dilema of not wanting to force an election and not wanting to support the budget they came up with something new. The last time the abstained from voting and were roundly critisized for being wimps. So instead of doing that...

At a Party convention in London Ontario Party members gave John Tory a sixty six percent approval rating. While low by the standards of these things it gave Tory enough wiggle room to stay on as Party Leader. A bad move if the Party had any hopes of accomplishing anything, although I suppose...

Roger Clemens and the trainer guy from the Jays and Yanks testified in some cogressional hearings today in Washington that was broadcast live on radio. My understanding was that there wasn't anything particularly criminal about taking 'roids when all this happened - or at least the guys that...

I watched some of the TV coverage of Super Tuesday and was shocked by some of the political commentary. The early coverage included the reults from Georgia and Alabama where Huckleberry Hound was doing quite well. I think he may have won both states. The commentators were saying that McCain was...

Haper is a Control Freak, Harper is Arrogant, Harper Won't Seek Clemency Dramatic headlines all but when you dig under the surface they are all essentially fluff issues being talked about. There is no point in picking on Dion - can't strike a man while he's down - we will leave that for Iggy to...
