I recently sent out an email to all my contacts imploring them to consider donating to their (non-Conservative) party of choice in an attempt to, as I put it, ?get our Canada back?. That prompted the obvious question, ?What do you mean by ?our Canada???Well, here goes:In my Canada we are recognised around the world as an independent and honest broker, not encumbered...

The Post editorial board: Elections Canada looks like an agency with a vendetta against the Tories (The Black Kettle)

Thu, 01 May 2008 16:47:00 GMT

posted by Marni Soupcoff, National Post: In the end, a judge may decide that the way the Conservative Party of Canada transferred money to its local candidates to buy advertising in the 2006 federal election violated the Canada Elections Act. But even if that turns out to be the case, it would be the equivalent of a court ruling that a taxpayer's aggressive deduction violated...

All Aboard ? (The Art of The Rant)

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:56:34 GMT

Although the Conservative Party of Canada is not the Progressive Conservative Party, both parties leaned toward a laissez faire style of politics that inevitably leads to a capitalist runaway train, and we all know the outcome of a runaway train either the train reaches the end of the track or flies right off it.

Pierre Poilievre brings the Elections Canada Investigators' Manual to parliament (Angry in the Great White North)

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:33:39 GMT

Until now, the debate on the significance over the apparent decision not to follow its own internal rules governing investigations and search warrants with regards to the Conservative Party In-and-Out issue has been limited to the blogosphere. That changed yesterday when Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre raised the issue in the House of Commons. Pierre Poilievre is the Conservative...

I just discovered that I was scooped by just over a week on the question of whether the investigators who pursued a search warrant targeting Conservative Party headquarters had followed the rules in their own manual.

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 01:05:00 GMT

Even though this issue has been beaten like a dead horse with a spastic colon. I find it absolutely unbelievable that any party, even the Conservative Party of Canada would vote non-confidence towards Elections Canada, the non-partisan federal body which ensures our democracy. By voting against the Bloc Quebecois's bill, they are stating that the current governing...
