Craig Oliver’s Rant on Stephen Harper During CTV’s #elxn42 Coverage (And Some Other Random Coverage)
So I’m slowly planning to transition back to regular blogging but right now, I’m still obsessively reading posts and news stories about the election: Mulcair was to blame! No, he wasn’t! Harper Was To Blame! No, really – Harper Was To Blame! Top 15 No-Brainers for Justin Trudeau Trudeau’s “Just Watch Me!” note about beating […]
Some Final Election Thoughts #elxn42 #canpoli #cndpoli
So, having had a couple nights to sleep on it (barely on the night of the election – I was up until after midnight waiting for final results in Regina-Lewvan which the NDP won by 143 votes then woke up at 6am having weird dream/nightmares about the election result), here are a few closing thoughts […]
T-13: A Way To *Guarantee* Stephen Harper Loses #elxn42 #canpoli
A couple years ago in April 2013, soon after the NDP and Liberals had their respective conventions, I blogged about how each party had a strong “cooperation” element within their party – represented in the NDP by Nathan Cullen who took third place in that party’s leadership race and ended up with 25% of the vote. […]
T-15: Music Monday – “Your pipeline will spill its disease/You shut down all the research libraries” #elxn42 #canpoli
You know it’s bad for Stephen Harper when even one of Canada’s most popular bands releases a song slamming your government’s record. (and includes citations for all the facts in the video on their web site to head off criticism)… “I recently visited Montreal and I was just awash in nostalgia at what Canada was […]
Introducing T-19: An Election Countdown #elxn42
So beginning tomorrow, I’m planning to have a 19 day series of posts with various thoughts and observations about the Canadian Federal Election. My politics are no secret and much of the content will be focused on reasons why the Conservative Party of Canada led by Stephen Harper has to go but I’m hoping I can […]
How To Vote in 31 Swing Ridings (Maybe) – Some Thoughts on Strategic Voting
Strategic voting is a fairly controversial idea – should you support the party/candidate who best represents your views no matter what or do you consider voting for a more ideologically aligned party that’s not your first choice if it might mean keeping one you disagree with more strongly out of power? In the current […]
Saturday Snap – It Was Twenty Years Ago Today… Looking Back to My Four-Month University Exchange to York, England
Hard to believe but twenty (!) years ago today, I took off from Regina, Saskatchewan and landed in Paris, France, a couple weeks before I was set to begin a one semester exchange in York, England (where I took three courses including a Film Production class that gives us the slightly un-PC clip at the top […]
Music Monday – New #NDP Ad: “Would you stand up and walk out on me?” #cndpoli #canpoli #skpoli
The NDP has released an effective new ad that highlights some of Stephen Harper’s “friends” – various criminals, fraudsters and cheaters… That’s pretty bad but this ad only highlights the senators (Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin) and other insiders (Nigel Wright) at the top of the Conservative party. There have also been some recent revelations that show […]
