“The existential threat faced by Israel on a daily basis is ultimately a threat to the broader Western civilization,” said [...]
Federal Grit leader Michael Ignatieff just visited Nova Scotia and, based on the Halifax Chronicle-Herald report, he had nothing substantive to say. What do you expect from the man of whom Rick Mercer said, “Does he have any opinions on anything? I haven’t heard them.”
Federal Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff says Rodney MacDonald and [...]
The Nova Scotia NDP offers another amazingly innocuous ingenious plan to improve health care if it wins the provincial election on 9 June.

She [...]
Campaign signs for Kerry Morash are going up all across the riding of Queens in southern Nova Scotia. The problem is that the signs say Mr Morash is the candidate of the Progressive Conservative Party—and that’s not true. The PCs haven’t nominated anyone yet.
The signs ask people to elect Mr. Morash and say [...]
Last month, someone from the Nova Scotia Liberal Party sent topless photos of actress and NDP candidate Lenore Zann to CBC reporter Paul Withers. The photos showed Ms Zann’s appearance in a shower scene on the lesbian television show The L Word. A brouhaha promptly erupted with the NDP in high dudgeon [...]
The Nova Scotia election campaign is barely two days old, but already voters are knee-deep in political claptrap. The feeble health-care proposal from provincial NDP leader Darrel Dexter takes the cake—so far.
Mr Dexter has a series of brainstorms to alleviate recurrent closures of emergency rooms at Nova Scotia hospitals: Hire an “expert” advisor/co-ordinator to act [...]

Danny Williams must be desperate.
Scott Brison (at right), Liberal MP for Kings-Hants, has sent out a pamphlet with a few questions for the voters. At least, that’s what I’m told. He’s my MP, but I haven’t received one yet.
Why do I have to find out about this from Kitchener-Waterloo resident Steve Janke?
Scott Brison has sent out a ten-percenter. [...]
