Canada already accepts 200,000 immigrants per year which is 16,667 per month.  An additional 10,000 in one month shouldn't be particularly difficult.  Rent them apartments, open them a bank account, buy them some groceries and introduce them to locals whose Arabic dialect they can understand -...

$10 billion is an election promise, nothing meaningful.  Alberta gives Quebec $10 billion per year in equalization because we like them so much.  I see nothing but a frat boy - no substance.  You will rarely see hem answering questions in the House or even spoon fed media questions because of...

After the "my way or the highway" routine on candidate selection and abortion beliefs for candidates, does anyone believe the media hype that Shiny Pony is going to be the great democrat allowing the caucus and cabinet to rule the day.  So far he steps a little more goosier than Harper.

Ranked ballots are too complicated.  Counting ballots and trying to get them to balance is already a challenge for poll clerks who are human and a long way out of school.  Computerizing the system would mean that Chinese hackers get to determine who wins.  I think the Liberals need to study the...

I think people might be shocked how little legislation comes from partisan political sources and how much comes out of the bureaucracy.  Good government is good government.  Compensating workers at a higher level than is needed to keep staffing positions at a reasonable level is a waste and...

Trudeau was left with 22 Senate vacancies to fill with patronage appointments.  It was polite of Harper to leave them.  The Liberals can have an immediate Senate majority without the obstruction the Conservatives had to suffer for a few years.  Mind you, after all the Liberal lecturing, Trudeau...

When all is said and done, the NDP must feel like chumps.  In the effort to stop Harper they voted for the Liberals who ran on a Marxist campaign but will govern for the benefit of Eastern Canadian power elites, as usual.

That's it in a nutshell.  Ten years is enough.  As long as Trudeau's handlers control him things might not be so bad.  If he starts thinking for himself look out.

Exactly- Trudeau ran on a campaign way to the left of the NDP.  Trudeau employs hyperbole as do I.

The hypocrisy of running on the Communist Manifesto and cozying up to business at the same time doesn't concern you?

I can't wait to see the results of the election simply to determine which pollsters are cooking the books.  The wide swings in the same time period are incomprehensible.  With a couple point swing in Ontario and the historic Liberal difficulty in finding the polling station, anything can happen.

Youth or Alzheimers?  I seem to remember the same thing said of Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, and Jean Chretien.

The crowning achievement in his life is as a substitute drama teacher and he doesn't do that well. Whoever taught him to breath needs to be fired.

Watch CBC much? Apparently La Presse is reporting that the Manchild chooses to file his income tax return in Ontario to save cash.  I bet les Quebecois will love that.  He pays no income tax to Quebec.  I got it off a blog and can't make the link work.

There might still be a bit of hope for Conservatives.  Less that a week ago they were still ahead in more than one poll.  Regardless of what happens, Mulcair's head will be on a pike.  I'm not sure if he will go willingly as he might have a hard time with the reduction in pay from opposition...

Trudeau charged non-profit organizations full bore for his speeches and cashed and kept the cheques.  End of story.  Quit making things up.

Elizabeth May as Khaleesi?  You know the nude scenes will give me nightmares.

And Ed Stelmach was 9th?  Running big deficits in prosperous times is good management?  Not so sure about that.

Doesn't jive with "each whereof shall be an Electoral District, each such District as numbered in that Schedule being entitled to return One Member." (Section 40. 1. Ontario) As I said, it can't be done without a Constitutional amendment.  What you are going to end up with is a bunch of MPs put...

I suspect getting rid of first past the post would require a Constitutional amendment considering so many constituency related definitions are tied into the Constitution.  To get Quebec to ever agree to a Constitutional amendment entails give-aways unpalatable to the rest of Canada.  It has...
