NDP for sale, again The NDP is again more than willing to throw its truncated support to the Liberals. I hope the Libs are smarter than entering into another supply and management agreement. Now, more than ever, we need a coalition government that includes the Conservative Party that is far more sensible than the champagne […]

WILL BE A FITTING END To all my hard-working, common-sense Conservative friends, this will be a fitting end to the Liberal socialist agenda. Along with the leader of their choice, the saviour and lifelong banker Mark Carney, the Liberal empire will disintegrate into oblivion like its close friends in the Jagmeet Singh-led NDP. Unfortunately this […]

The big election surprise was that the Conservatives can do so well and still lose. Leader Pierre Poilievre created a new Tory coalition, sweeping up working-class NDPers and anti-establishment People’s party voters, as Brian Lilley discusses with Tasha Kheiriddin and Stuart Thomson from Postmedia’s Political Hack newsletter. But Poilievre now needs even more to beat […]

Join with the U.S. Why does Alberta continually waste their precious time by casting pearls before swine?

It’s time for Alberta to start making plans to ‘vacate the joint’ and start soaring with eagles in […]

Throwing in the towel I give up! For ten years I have fought against the disaster brought on by the Liberals only to lose again.

A NEW VOTING SYSTEM? Canada seems to be stuck halfway between the status quo and a new reality as to our voting system. What advance polling has shown is that perhaps the time has come for a four-day vote, perhaps starting on a Saturday and ending at a reasonable time on a Tuesday (say 7 […]

Grits NEW MOUTHPIECE  How can you believe anything Mark Carney or the Liberals say? Carney was Trudeau’s choice. He’s hidden his investments and refuses to give Canadians an honest answer. When the polls were down, they grabbed the Conservative play book and reversed their own ideals. The Liberals denied Canadians their constitutional rights of having […]

1 week ago Opinion: Poilievre and Carney can’t punish intimate partner violence away

Punitive approaches to addressing violence against women may seem satisfying in the moment, but do they really work? Front-runner parties are adopting tough-on-crime stances in the lead-up to the 2025 federal election. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced plans for stricter criminal sentences for those accused of intimate partner violence. Meanwhile, the Liberals under Leader […]

History lesson One advantage of choosing print over TV news some 40 years ago, because I wanted more than 30-to 90-second sensationalized sound bites, is an improved recall of current and historical events.

Why now?

There is nothing original in his platform and there is nothing or nobody original in his party. Why would […]
