Rob Nicholson and Stockwell Day feel bound to explain why they didn't applaud Stephen Harper yesterday. I wonder who bound them? Apparently, they were busy . And they are very sorry for casting doubt upon the great leader's shadow. And it won't happen again. Jim Prentice's staff, on the other hand, wants the world to know that their boss played toady at every possible opportunity. Pick your poison....

I was at a Christmas party last night and ended up at a table with a bunch of Conservatives. All the talk was about replacing Harper and stopping the coalition in it's tracks. The name most mentioned was Jim Prentice. John Baird's name brought guffaws. Slight support for Rona Ambrose as a dark horse candidate. Now this was a group of old PC Tories not Reformer Evangelicals so they were not keen on...

I don't know who these people are who believe that Stephen Harper should step down. The Conservatives-for-Prentice group, that's kind of understandable given Jim Prentice's obvious competence, though his popularity among leftists as a nonthreatening conservative belies the source of this movement (for, I might add, no apparent reason except that they've decided to hate him less). The one that I obviously...

The revolution is about to begin – within the Conservative Party, it seems: We are a group of grassroots Conservative Party of Canada members – the kind of grassroots members on which our party was FOUNDED – who believe that Jim Prentice should be the next Conservative Leader and Prime Minister of Canada. We will be staying anonymous as we recognize that our position might not be popular right now....

This rebellion business is catching. In addition to the Liberal/NDP coup against Stephen Harper, there may be a mutiny in the works. Or maybe it's just Iggy's people, having a bit of fun. A mysterious web site, conservativesforprentice has appeared, advocating Environment Minister Jim Prentice as the next Tory leader. The blog is careful to note that Jim Prentice has absolutely nothing to do with...

Robopundit gets it right. The tactical genius is to blame for this mess. It would be good for the country and for his party, if he went back to the private sector. Prime Minister Jim Prentice might be able to save this government, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will not.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (MARKET WIRE) In a letter sent this week, WWF-Canada called on Environment Minister Jim Prentice to quickly take steps to prevent over-hunting of the Baffin Bay polar bear sub-population, which straddles the border between Canada and Greenland. It was recently revealed that both Nunavut and Greenland will continue to allow over-hunting of this shared sub-population despite expert recommendations...

There is still much speculation about Jim Prentice's move to the environment portfolio. Was he shuffled out of industry because he is indispensable to moving the Harper environmental agenda forward or because he posed a threat to the Prime Minister's leadership? There are some who take the latter view: ''The PM was Machiavellian in his handling of Prentice, to say the least,'' said one well-placed...

With the media even on the cold side of the 49th parallel also obsessed with Tuesday’s US election, Canadians may have missed the news that we have a new Environment Minister. Industry Minister Jim Prentice, a possible future Harper successor, has been shuffled over to the Environment portfolio. Ignoring the basic fact that climate change does not belong solely under the jurisdiction of a ministry...

When I sent out some e-mails about C-61, I was inititally disappointed because Cullen didn't get back to me. However, after a week or so went by, I got a short reply that was a lot friendlier than the form-letter replies I got from Jim Prentice's office.
