• NDP to Iggy: Force an election over HST

  
  CKA Canadian News — Authority: 168
  Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff can halt the harmonized sales tax if, like the federal NDP, hes prepared to force an election over the issue, Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says. "Ignatieff seems to be flip-flopping all over the place," Horwath s

• Dear NDP

  
  They Call Me "Mr. Sinister" — Authority: 474
  Why bother with Ujjal Dosanjh and Mike Harcourts message of "pragmatism" as the cardinal virtue of politics? Why go with half measures? If you really want to observe the glories of "getting with it" in action, just turn your eyes to the south and behold the splendor that is the modern Democratic party . Better ...

• Nomination News: Updating Other Parties in Quebec

  
  Pundits' Guide — Authority: 464
  Leading the non-Bloc nomination news in Québec in the last few days was the announcement by the Green Party of its new Québec Deputy Leader: not Stéphane Dion or Janine Krieber, per Wells First Rule of Politics , but rather retired Radio-Canada environment reporter Jacques Rivard. The only question I have is ...

• Sigh

  
  Accidental Deliberations — Authority: 479
  I suppose I should have known that follow-through on a reasonable, principled stance to push back against blatant Con abuses was more than we could expect - and apparently the Cons were somehow allowed to ram C-36 through the House of Commons after suppressing information promised to opposition committee members. I ...

• Carole James The Model Politician? Please.

  
  Unambiguously Ambidextrous — Authority: 481
  NDP opposition leader Carole James puts an unconvincing spin on an uncomfortable question. Kennedy Stewart ran a rather eyebrow raising post in the Vancouver Sun a few days back which generated quite a bit of attention in the online community. In his article, he juxtaposed Carole James to Michael Ignatieff as ...

• Pointing Out The Obvious

  
  They Call Me "Mr. Sinister" — Authority: 474
  Robert Silver in the Globe : What makes this fact interesting (at least to me) is that while the Liberals are at an all time low in popular support in the polls (and no - none of this should be taken as a statement that all is good in Liberal poll land), the NDP have really not been the beneficiaries at all of our ...

• Prisoner torture out of Canadas hands

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 174
  No one should be surprised at reports that at least some captured Taliban fighters have been tortured in Afghanistan. This is, after all, a country that barely is functioning. Was every single detainee handed over by Canadian soldiers to Afghan authorities in 2006-07 tortured, as alleged by former diplomat Richard ...

• The reviews are in

  
  Accidental Deliberations — Authority: 479
  Norman Spector (!): Perusing reports of Janine Krieber’s anti-Ignatieff missile, er missive, this morning, I notice a discrepancy in the English- and French-language coverage. In La Presse, we read that Stéphane Dion’s wife may be thinking about joining the NDP — a point that Chantal Hébert also makes on ...

• BC NDP Convention Minus 4 Days: Why We Lost the Election

  
  Politics, Re-Spun — Authority: 114
  We didn’t lose the election. The Liberals didn’t win it either. We failed to win it. There are a great many explanations for why we failed to win, but I have spent a great deal of time since about 8:30pm on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 talking to dozens of people about what is systemically wrong with the BC NDP so we ...

• Will Fall Of B.C. Liberals Give Sway To B.C. Conservatives?

  
  Unambiguously Ambidextrous — Authority: 481
  A new article posted at the Vancouver Sun : Two recent polls have indicated that the BC NDP are well in control of the Liberals, after a slew of extremely unpopular decisions made by the Gordon Campbell government. There was the $2.8 billion deficit which Mr.Campbell promised would be no more than $495 million just ...

• The Choice: Is the progressive wing of the Liberal Party readying to walk?

  
  blogging a dead horse — Authority: 119
  Janine Krieber appears to have signaled that a segment of the Liberal Party is readying to part ways with Michael Ignatieff and the party’s current leadership. In her now widely reported Facebook message , Stephane Dion’s wife tells Liberals “the time has arrived to make a choice” between a party led by ...

• Real reason to smile

  
  Accidental Deliberations — Authority: 479
  Theres understandably been plenty of discussion about Janine Kriebers Facebook post . But its worth highlighting what sets Kriebers message apart from most of the Libs recent internal disputes - as instead of using her concerns to try to change the balance of power within the Libs themselves, Krieber is one of far ...

• BC NDP Convention Minus 5 Days: Why We’re the Natural Governing Party of BC

  
  Politics, Re-Spun — Authority: 114
  I had this amazing daydream a few weeks after we failed to win the election last May. The NDP is the naturally governing party of BC, so when the legislature was to open earlier this fall/summer, the NDP MLAs should stroll in there and behave as if we actually represent the poorest 95% of British Columbians, which we ...

• Ignatieff is the best damn thing to have happened to the Liberals

  
  Mediabuzzard.com — Authority: 110
  Definitely not the star Liberals thought or hoped he would be. Sure he wrote some interesting books and is probably a darn good debater and smart to boot,albeit in a bookish way. No big surprise,after all  the academic world is a very different animal from that of the political,never mind the real world. But ...

• But Will They Answer the Door?

  
  The Nexus of Assholery — Authority: 133
  Opportunity -- in form of Liberal weakness -- knocking for NDP If hiring Peter Donolo to serve as Chief of Stafff of the Office of the Leader of the Opposition represents Michael Ignatieff and the Liberal party pressing the panic button, they may have pressed it just in time. A recent poll has the NDP holding ...

• Not taken on faith

  
  Accidental Deliberations — Authority: 479
  Gerald Caplan pipes up on the long gun registry weeks after the most recent vote in Parliament actually made the issue relevant. But someone whos still presented as an NDP insider falls into one of the same glaring mistakes as others who dealt with the topic at the time: hich leaves the NDP, where a full third of ...

• BC NDP Convention Minus 6 Days: Defining the Party as “The Electoral Wing of a Progressive Social Movement”

  
  Politics, Re-Spun — Authority: 114
  There was a profound summer lightning storm on Saturday, July 25, 2009, about 10 weeks after the election. Starting late in the afternoon Vancouver got soaked by a torrent of rain and a storm that circled the lower mainland counter-clockwise and competed with the fireworks that night. Here is my highlight reel . ...

• The Headline Says It All

  
  They Call Me "Mr. Sinister" — Authority: 474
  Layton Betrays The Faithful. The NDP is up in the polls right now and all they had to do is become a party like all the rest. Helping to gut gun control means I can never trust Layton, nor his party again. Layton and his followers might be taking comfort from the polls but in the back of their minds, I hope the ...
