I am starting to believe he is when it comes to dealing with Canada. Protectionism and unfair trade arrangements were a significant worry to Canadian businesses when the Obama administration came to power. Their fears certainly seem well justified now. The ever "thickening" border with Canada...

On an earlier post I predicted that Harper would only last between 6 and 18 months before Count Iggy punted him out of office, probably with a Liberal minority. I also pointed out that Harper was starting to wear a bit thin with Conservative party members mainly because of all the political...

So Iggy now proudly exclaims having friendly chats with Lyin Brian Muldoon. He repremands Harper publicly for not showing Brian enough respect or attention. Mulroney spokespersons now says Brian may not necessarily be a "Lifetime Conservative". And now Andrew Coyne comes out with this little...

Given the gadawful weather that Canada has been slogging through, I had to wonder. How far does an electric car (battery powered) car go in minus 40C weather? Sub 30C weather? Does it become uneconomical from an energy footprint VS miles travelled perspective? If the car is left for a few...

Here is a roundup of exactly what they think. Quote: .Ipsos-Reid Ipsos-Reid released their poll yesterday evening, asking what Canadians would prefer: an election, or a usurpation of the Harper government by the Liberal/NDP coalition. 60% of those polled were in favor of an election over the...

A received bulletin: Having decided that the Detroit Redwings technically won the 2008 Stanley Cup, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars have formed a coalition demanding a three way ownership of the league title. Rational for their decision revolves around their...

Here is an email I believe may be originating from the Prime Ministers office Quote: Two months ago, Canadians elected the Prime Minister with a strengthened mandate to address the global economic crisis. Now, a Socialist-Separatist-driven coalition is attempting to overturn the results...

That is assuming that the NDP, Lib and Bloq triumvirate seizes control of the Federal Government of Canada. Whether or not the GG Michelle Jean will approve it has been discussed on other threads. I believe she will. And at a stroke Canada will cease to be a Democracy by definition. It will be...

Looks like it. It’s just possible. Granted its all my opinion. Looks like the coalition is a go. We now have Chretien, Martin ,Romano, McKenna and Broadbent and more agreeing to run the country behind the scenes between rounds of golf. Why? Because they can, and they think its fun thing to...

On another thread I made a post how I felt it was incomprehensible that a Canadian coalition government could be formed. It may have been an ill advised post. Maybe it could happen. Historically it has happened once. I 1917 and because of the onset of the WW! The Libs and Con formed a...

What to do? Quote Canadian auto industry to lose 15,000 jobs by end of 2009: Conference Board of Canada. Unquote. To my way of thinking bailing them out is throwing good money after bad. After all, the main reason they are in trouble is because people do not want to buy their products. On...

Who is it going to be? And which way is the party going to slide. To the left, down the middle, which way to go ? I figure Iggy to take the center (slightly fiscal right) and try and push Harpo further into the right-wing wasteland. A potentially winning tactic in my opinion. Bob almost...

quote: Ontario to get first 'have-not' handout next year Province will receive $347-million unquote In my opinion this pretty much insures that Canada's confederation as we know it is totally defunct. First lets deal with Newfoundland. Danny Williams wants to keep all the offshore oil and...

How do you vote? By Party: Loyal to a particular party. Will stick with a party through thick and thin no matter the platform. By Platform: The best platform gets the vote no matter where on the political spectrum the party lies. By Leader: The best Leader should get the Big Job. Best of the...

I thought I would chuck this one out and see how it fares amongst the leftist pack. National Post has an article on a recent book which posits that Bush really is not dumb at all. Bush was Phi Beta Kappa at Yale, has degrees from both Yale and Harvard, always got pretty good grades (even in...
