Because while five of the eight Dipper leadership contenders are wasting their time in a little-watched debate that no one cares about aside from their own supporters, he's out shaking hands and getting votes in the East Island. To point out, so was Paul Dewar, except in St. John's.

Seriously, the only reason Topp and co. wanted Mulcair there was to throw a few barbs his way by attacking the "right-wing government" of Jean Charest (which Mulcair was a minister in). That's about the extent of the interest I think anyone had in the debate. To see that little spark.

These debates are stale, they're full of utter agreement, they're boring an...

This morning, as we waited for a client call to start, I told my staff – animal lovers all – about the sad, er, tale of Seamus, Mitt Romney’s Irish Setter. They didn’t believe me. When I finished telling the tale, they were in shock. I told them we should start a contest: come up with the best design for a Seamus Romney T-shirt, and we’ll get it printed on a few that we can sell to benefit a deserving animal protection group (we represent quite a few). So, get to work, Team Wk.com! The best design gets a signed copy of The War Room, plus a few T-shirts to give to Democ...

As much as I agree with many of Ron Paul's principled stances on various issues, I just cannot stand the cult of over-zealous fanatics that support him (image) Despite all evidence, these folks simply refuse to accept the fact that Dr. Paul will NOT be the Republican nominee for president. To the contrary, they act as if by chanting their mantras loud and long enough, or spamming every damn blog and YouTube video on the Internet with asinine comments somehow, it will alter reality. Of course, it won't do any such thing.

With an Alberta election on the horizon this spring, the Wildrose Alliance have brought on Tom Flanagan to manage their campaign. For those of you who have never heard of Tom Flanagan, he was a political science professor at the University of Calgary (go Dinos!), and a key Harper strategist during his leadership run. Flanagan was the Conservative campaign manager in the 2004 federal election, so I can only hope it wasn't his idea to hold a "victory march" across Alberta in the campaign's closing weekend.

Since 2009, Federal Government spending increased by over 13% (Canada's Performance Report 2008-2009 and 2010-2011), and, with the exception of Atlantic Canada, the size of the federal public service has increased by 3%. Yet, Atlantic Canada suffered badly over the last three years, with a reduction of federal government employment amounting to 430 jobs; during the same time period, federal government employment was rapidly growing elsewhere in Canada. Now, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced that he intends to cut the number of federal government employees.

Can you imagine the Con braying and screeching if Dalton McGuinty had said he had his “foot on the throat” of his principal opponent? You’d never hear the end of it. “That’s not how a Premier speaks,” they’d say. And they’d be right. Tim Hudak lost because he couldn’t present a positive vision for Ontario’s future. He lost because he launched vicious attacks on “foreigners” and gays and lesbians. He lost because he allowed his party to be taken over by far-right Landowner extremists.

A brief follow-up to yesterday's post on the possibility of a hike in OAS age eligibility here. Here is the first of many analyses likely to come along now that Harper has raised the issue of "major" reforms to Canada's pension system, namely the OAS: "Does Harper really need to raise the retirement age?" The upshot of the piece is that no, he does not.

On the other hand, Canada is different because, unlike most other countries, our public pension commitments are not a substantial threat to our public finances. The Canada Pension Plan is in long-run...

Premier Kathy Dunderdale and her ministers refuse to hand over documents on more than $5.0 billion in public works spending by the Conservatives since 2004.

The documents are cabinet secrets, as their argument goes, and under the access to information law cabinet cannot release that information to him.

like her predecessor, Premier Dunderdale was unavailable to talk to reporters earlier on Thursday but she did have time to call an open line radio show to talk about the Auditor General and other things.  Dunderdale eventually turned up at a 2:00 PM scrum to take reporters questions.  Predictably she rejected any claims that she is withholding information improperly.

The Liberal Party lost the last election not because they didn't know what they stood for, but because they stopped looking.

After the last election many party officials, pundits and members of the public claimed the Liberals lost because they didn't stand for anything, that Liberals didn't even know who they were, and as these comments are reflected upon, one cannot help but be reminded that the Liberal's identity problem is Canada's as well.

Ever since confederation our politicians, our generals, our poets, and our artists, have all sought to define what it is to be Canadian.

Placzek v. Green, 2012 ONCA 45 deals with discharging a civil jury.

Put briefly, trial by jury is a substantive right that will not be set aside by the Court unless barred by statute or in the interests of justice. If, however, the trial Court concludes that the complexity of the matter, or the nature of the evidence, is such that a jury will not apprehend it properly then striking the jury is proper. Such striking will not be second guessed by the appeal Court. If the decision to strike is reasonable it will be upheld on appeal.

As I learned during the San Fran's presentation at the Code for America summit, such a goal has several important consequences.

Slacktivism is a pejorative term that refers to easy and simple gestures, relatively symbolic acts in support of an issue or cause. Recent usage of the word and its derivatives have been mostly applied to Facebook users as the social media site allows anyone to support something with as little as a click.
