The Conservatives announced a proposal to create “…an independent office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.” What the plan entails is to create an independent body to investigate criminal misconduct by politicians rather than have politicians do it themselves. In a press release from the CPC website,
Today in Quebec City, Stephen Harper announced that a [...]

A couple of points on the election:
Stephen Harper doesn’t love Canada
Stephen “Scary” Harper will rollback Charter rights
Where do these idiots get this stuff? First off, for Paul Martin to imply Harper doesn’t love Canada was just plain stupid. I thought he was going to fight a clean campaign? So much for that I guess. I [...]

Is it just me or do the Liberals appear to be on the defensive already? After watching the 3 national leaders speak I couldn’t help but detect just a hint of anger *shudder* in Paul Martin’s voice. Although he promised to fight a clean campaign all he offered were excuses, smears, rhetoric and more excuses. [...]

An interesting story is developing that may just expose yet another Liberal scandal. After weeks of waffling on the issue of income trusts, Finance Minister Ralph Goodale announced last Wednesday evening that he had decided to decrease the tax on dividends paid by corporations. Fine. As far as I’m concerned it’s a good move. What [...]

It’s only been a short while since the corruption-laden Liberal government bit the dust but already the Liberal apologists are at it. I’m flipping back and forth between CPAC, Newsworld and Newsnet and it’s becoming clear the road Martin and his followers intend to take,
the talking heads insist AdScam involved only a few Liberal officials

In accordance with Parliamentary rules Prime Minister Paul Martin must [...]

Waiting for the other shoe to drop is turning out to be more suspense-filled than yesterday’s barn-burner of a Grey Cup game. I refer to this evening’s vote of non-confidence of course. It has been a long time in coming. It appears that Canada’s opposition parties will finally join forces to help the Conservatives bring [...]

Regardless of who won yesterday’s Grey Cup Game it was without a doubt the greatest game I have ever seen. While the first half was dominated by the D’s the second half was an explosive offensive show, particularly the 4th quarter. Just an awesome game. The fact that the Esks won is simply icing on [...]

The big day is almost here! Woohoo! As a hapless Blue Bomber fan it pains me to say this but…
Go Esks Go!!

It seems that PM Paul Martin is upset with comments made by Stephen Harper. In fact he is so upset he had a law firm fire off a letter to the Conservative leader warning him that the Liberals will defend themselves from smear tactics. And he has demanded an apology. So just what is Martin [...]
