Justin Trudeau recently announced that he inherited 1.2 million from his father. He is also on record as charging well in excess of 1 million dollars for his prior speaking engagements. Federal Legislative attendance records show that Justin has one of the worst attendance records in the House...

So the Harper Conservatives are finally starting to take a stand in regards to negotiations with the Native Indians. Harper leaves no doubt: Governor-General will not be included in any future First Nations policy discussions | Canadian Politics | Canada | News | National Post No GG in...

Or maybe even a career. The post header will probably light up every search engine in Asia. That is certainly not my intention as this post is primarily directed at young, somewhat undecided Canadians. How do the Canadian industry leaders of tomorrow decide the career route to follow? Today...

Frank McKenna a highly respected elder statesman of Canadian politics has thrown his hat into the ring when it comes to opinions about Alberta’s oil sands. Mr. McKenna is urging all Canadians to seriously consider a massive pipeline system to ship Alberta’s heavy oil from sea to sea. The...

Exxon just announced it is pulling all its resources out of Poland. Poland had much hyped "massive shale gas reserves". Poland also needed to move away from (A) its dependance on dirty coal and (B)it's dependance on pipelined Russian gas. The discoveries of large shale gas fields was a godsend...

Who is capable of resurecting the moldering corpse of Canada's once strong and proud Liberal Party of Canada ? The leadership needs to be a race between outstanding Canadian leaders, anything less spells future disaster for the Liberals in my view. The best leader of the Liberal party would...

Stephen Harper and the PC's could be running this country for a long, loooong time. I figure three back to back majorities are concevable, four however is a bit of a stretch. That would put Harper in the Canadian political record books. And would also entrench Canada as a fiscally...

Knowing as I do the leftward slant to several of the most popular posters on this site I thought I would chuck out a small dose of political reality. Canada once was known as a Liberal country at heart and the Liberal Party of Canada was known as "the natural ruling party". No more. The Liberal...

Early this evening: See Harper kill a kitten and drink its blood. Hear Ignatieff proclaim that if he becomes Prime Minister of Canada his first act will be to merge Canada with his "true home" the United States of America. Live and in 3D. But seriously, the debates are on early this evening...

Count Igula has been doing some pretty nifty verbal tap dancing in regards to his previous comittments to Canada. Here is the deal. Iggy had never bothered to vote in Canada federally until the 2008 election when Iggy had just lost the Lib leadership and Dion was El Jefe. That means before the...

Canada easily has the ability to become one of the richest and most powerful countries on the planet. Imagine if you will Saudi Arabia or the Emirates without any oil; the harsh reality is they would be nothing but fly-blown wastelands populated by goatherds. Environmentally correct wastelands...

That is the question. And it really is the only realistic question that relates to the current Federal election. There is a website called ThreeHundredEight.com For anyone interested in polling or any political junkies this is the website to go to. The site has no political bias at all. They...

New research is indicating that hydroelectric power may be as dirty as coal fired power generation. Granted it's a reasonably new field of study but the latest result are indicating that hydro power is none too clean. First off is the massive carbon footprint involved in building a dam in the...

The so called "housing bubble" is a topic of considerable debate in the media. Is there one in Canada? And what the hell is a housing bubble anyway? Is a foamy housing market a bubble? An overheated market? A hot housing market? An over priced housing market? A bubbly market? A constant sellers...

The Solar Decathlon was just held in Washington DC. Twenty teams competed this year and the event was sponsored by the US Department of Energy. The competion is open to all and is related to the International Solar Car Challenge. The goal is to try and design the most energy efficient...

The the Obama administration in its never ending quest to promote a trade war with Canada has now shut down Air Canada's ability to fly charter planes carrying Canadian hockey teams into the United States. It turns out that they have just closed an exemption for sports teams to fly on a...

So Count Iggy says he is no longer going to support the Harpo. After voting in favor of dozens if not hundreds of Conservative bills the Libs have drawn yet another line in the sand. No more trained seal shows from the Natural Ruling Party. And Canadians could be going to the polls yet again...

The Monocle a magazine for EcoFriendly-Euro-Yuppies has come out with its "Best Cities in the World to Live In" rankings. Scored apparently by ranking the following: Internationalism. Crime stats. State education systems. Sunshine and weather. State Health care. Tolerance. Public...

In another thread I noticed that old oft repeated chestnut about foreign immigrants. The main thrust of it is the generalization that Taxicabs, Seven-Eleven's and Pizza delivery joints in Canada are primarily staffed by immigrant Nuclear Physicists and Physicians. Is it true? Not really in my...

Iggy has got to be doing some very serious calculating these days. On other thread about a Liberal forced election this spring I predicted that Iggy would not have the "stones" to force an election this spring or this fall. 50% right so far. The question becomes did Iggy pass up a prime...
