It is rather poor taste to poke fun at someone who is suffering from a horrendous disease. And the fact is, Chuck Cadman is receiving treatment for cancer. A condition we can't image, because we have never been there, nor would we wish the experience. We feel sorry for him. We also feel sorry when we see him changing his mind every other day. One day he won't vote against the Liberals, the next

Martin continued his election campaign today in Western Canada with billions of tax dollars falling out of his oversized pockets and into the hands of willing recipients. In Manitoba today, Martin continued buying votes by handing out millions of "childcare" dollars from a budget that hasn't even been passed. In a cross Canada race that's an election campaign in everything but name, the

In an effort to backtrack over their earlier refusal to call for a national inquiry over the Air-India trial fiasco, the Liberal Party has hired Bob Rae to get them off the hook. Realizing that the Liberal Party was in trouble after failing to sell same sex marriage legislation to conservative Sikh voters, combined with Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan's refusal to call an inquiry into the

In a just completed live scrum with reporters in Halifax, Jack Layton was visibly sweating as he tried to defend the NDP/Liberal budget. Saying many Canadians would suffer (not least of all the NDP) unless the Conservatives support this tax and spend budget, Layton accused Harper of "crawling into bed with the separatists." With bodily fluids from Martin staining Jack Layton's black suit, from

In response to yesterday's posting, Who is the devil in the NDP/Liberal deal? Ms. McDonough knows, a reader left the following comment which is reprinted below:"A religious friend of mine says that the devil, in the Bible, is portrayed as an "angel of light." Let's keep this in mind as we look at the NDP/Liberal deal. With this deal, spending in the federal budget has increased 15 percent. (

Stephen Harper has been quoted as saying that yesterday's deal between the NDP and Liberals is a "deal with the devil." News commentators all day long have been talking among themselves about who this "devil" is? Have the NDP made a deal with the "devil Liberals" who the NDP have slammed for their criminal activities? Or, perhaps it is the Liberals who have made a deal with the "NDP devil" who

Even though they don't have enough votes to keep the Liberals in power, unless all the independent MPs and some Bloc MPs also support the government in any confidence vote, NDP leader Jack Layton was able to make the PM get down on his knees and beg. With only 19 Parliamentary seats, Mr. Layton was able to push through budget changes that will keep their own supporters happy but probably won't

Ego gets in the way of economics as Prime Minister Paul Martin agrees to massive budget changes to keep his job and his corrupt party in power. With the NDP threatening to join with the other political parties to topple the Liberals unless they agreed to NDP conditions, PM Martin has demonstrated that nothing will stop him in his quest to remain Canada's top political dog. Martin has lusted after

We know Ontario is a vote and riding rich province, but Conservative leader Stephen Harper's courting of that province's vote by sucking up to McGuinty is fraught with dangers. Not the least of them being McGuinty's faulty arithmetic. In an effort to take some of the heat off his own less than stellar performance, McGuinty is using the province's favorite whipping boy, Ottawa, as a scapegoat. He

It's been over 30 years since the NDP has been in the position of being able to prop up a minority Liberal Party government; in that case it was the Trudeau government of 1972-1973. Jack Layton sees his day in the sun, his first and maybe only 15 minutes of fame, and he doesn't want to let it go. If he can prop up the Liberal Government, something the NDP has done a total of three times in the

The Asper family, long-time Liberal financial backers, are in a quandary. On one hand, they would like to carry on the family tradition of supporting the Liberals, but to do so, could mean economic suicide. They fear that in supporting Martin they could turn off their historic conservative audience. An audience they are rapidly losing (or should be) by supporting the legalization of marijuana and

The sleaze was obvious in how the Prime Minister presented tonight’s canned commercial. He delivered an English only speech for the Anglophone audience and an all-French address for his Quebec audience. Two complete speeches (thought the same content) and in this way, he was able to double his air time, over what the opposition parties were given. But, what can you expect from a federal party

Who, other than the Canadian Taxpayer's Foundation, has hinted at the need for a tax boycott to protest the millions of our tax dollars that have been ripped off by the Liberal Party of Canada? The federation says they have received emails that call for such action, and because it's against the law, they wouldn't suggest it. However, if one was bold enough you could place the money you owe in

This site focuses on Scot Brison, Minister of Public Works and Government Services. The fellow from the Nova Scotia riding who lost in his bid to lead the Conservatives so he jumped to the Liberals and was rewarded with a Cabinet posting. A fellow who deserves to get the boot in this election

While the political parties have been unofficially campaigning for several weeks, things get off to an unofficial official start tonight with Prime Minister Martin's "Address to the Nation." The Prime Minister originally wanted to "address the nation" at 7:45, thereby cutting into the chance of the opposition speaking directly after him, (hey, you can't preempt the hourly news)but the networks
