...I'm thinking twice about them. I've been hard on the BC Liberals on this blog. No harder, probably less, than I've been to the BC Dippers or the Green Party, but still: hard. And to this day I stand by my criticisms of the BC Liberal Party: it needs new leadership, fresh blood, a fresh campaign, and a massive down-sizing in the arrogance department. Particularly when it comes to the proposed Harmonised...

Ariela Cotler: Don't make Israel's defence a partisan issue

Full Comment (Free subscription) | yesterday

Over the last three years, various politicians and commentators have highlighted a letter I sent to the National Post in October, 2006. I would like to set the record straight about what I wrote. At the time, Michael Ignatieff made a statement criticizing Israel’s action vis-à-vis the bombing of Kfar Qana during the 2006 Lebanon conflict, which Stephen Harper made a statement recognizing...

Conrad Black: Lessons from Mackenzie King

Full Comment (Free subscription) | yesterday

Stephen Harper has now served longer as a minority prime minister than any of his predecessors except Lester B. Pearson, a PM who was only three or four seats short of a majority. Pearson left office in 1968. And times have changed since then. While Harper is dealing with the venomous hedgehog of the separatist Bloc Québécois, Pearson had to contend with the bizarre, but crypto-federalist,...

Shoes dropping

The Galloping Beaver (Free subscription) | yesterday

Colvin's testimony was alarming and the Conservative Party response, true to form, abysmal and disgusting. But there are shoes yet to drop regarding Afghan prisoners. So far the discussion seems to be around what happens to prisoners after Canada hands them to the ANP or ANA. The next shoe to drop will be when the stories come out about what Canadian soldiers have done to Afghan prisoners. Right now...

The Real Shame

Freddie P (Free subscription) | yesterday

Here's a message to all of the bleeding heart Liberals who are thoroughly enjoying the bullshit focus that's been placed upon the Harper government this week. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Right off the top lets establish this, Taliban forces in Afghanistan long ago adopted a tactic of falsely accusing Coalition troops of mistreating detainees so this is nothing new. Other countries like Australia...

The legacy of Preston Manning

Macleans.ca (Free subscription) | 20/11/2009

Don Newman posits his theory as to where everything went sideways. The fraying was not — it might surprise some I’m sure — the fault of the Bloc Québécois who, while preaching their own view of both history and the future, always treated Parliament with respect. Rather it came from the Reform party led by Preston Manning. Reformers [...]

Breaking News President Obama said that within the next few weeks, the United States and other world powers would be formulating new sanctions on Iran. Canada's opposition Liberal Party is crying foul after the ruling Conservatives mailed out flyers extolling themselves as stronger supporters of Israel. A sign objecting to the evacuation of West Bank settlements was found at an
