A Green Guelph?

Posted by Scott Tribe on June 30, 2009, at 12:43 pm |

It’s a little quiet out there today so far, so let me say I’m also going to place my money on the Guelph riding as being the riding where Green Party leader Elizabeth May will run for Parliament in the next election. There are several factors why this riding would be her best shot at [...]

PPS – Kudos to Frank Valeriote in Guelph, and his team.

I’m pleased to see in a sea of 519 blue that in the riding of Guelph, which is where I went to University, Frank Valeriote held off Gloria Kovach and kept Guelph Liberal. There were fears that the Greens might split the vote, and allow the Cons to go up the middle and Mike Nagy [...]

Vandalism in Toronto to Liberal supporters mirrors exactly what occurred in Guelph

Posted by Scott Tribe on October 5, 2008, at 9:58 am |

Well, we have another story in today’s Toronto Star over vandalism targeting Liberal supporters in that city:

Toronto police patrolled a midtown area overnight, after vandals cut brake lines on at least 10 cars parked at homes with Liberal election signs on their lawns. Affected residents live in the riding of St. Paul’s, in a swath [...]

“Ye reap what ye sow”

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 25, 2008, at 2:59 pm |

Christian Conservative, better known now as Andrew Prescott, riding president of the Guelph Conservative Party, has finally resurfaced a week or so after his cover was blown, with a blogpost bemoaning “gotcha politics”.

I find it rather ironic he’s moaning about gotcha politics when he engaged in it first. You might remember he got ticked off [...]

KLRvu polling methodology update

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 25, 2008, at 8:45 am |

Well, we’ve had quite a few of blogposts on the KLRvu pollsters and their polling numbers for Guelph throughout the blogosphere (including yours truly), and even one by David Akin looking at them. All this publicity no doubt thrills Allan Bruinooge, the head of the polling company, to no end.

I mentioned on Friday that I’d [...]

Friday bits and bytes

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 22, 2008, at 1:18 pm |

Bit:

David Akin has done a pretty good investigative piece on the KLR Vu Guelph poll that caused some interest and controversy a couple of days ago when it was released. I’ll note here as I did over there at David’s site that I did send an email to the polling firm asking them how many [...]

An encouraging poll result in Guelph, but the race is far from over.

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 20, 2008, at 11:00 am |

Byelections normally don’t get polled, so there’s been some question as to how the races in these 3 byelections have been developing. I noted a column today from Thomas Walkom in the Star where he said Guelph was one of those ridings that theoretically, the Conservatives should be able to win because of its demographics [...]

Bridge watching

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 19, 2008, at 1:59 pm |

So if you’ve been reading around the news and the blogs, you know that the Conservative government and Lawrence Cannon conveniently announced that they’d be soon building a new bridge in the St Lambert riding, which by the way has a byelection in a couple of weeks.

St. Lambert is a BQ held riding from 2004, [...]

Dianne Haskett redux in Guelph: Gloria going 0 for 2 on candidates meeting?

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 17, 2008, at 10:16 am |

We’ll see on� Tuesday/Wednesday if this is indeed confirmed what happened, but it appears Conservative candidate Gloria Kovach is already saying she won’t be at this Tuesday’s all-candidates meeting/debate.� Apparently, she feels her time is better spent at attending a “We Love Stephen Harper” rally in Kitchener, which last I looked isn’t in the Guelph [...]

Um, Gloria.. Guelph’s in Ontario, not Atlantic Canada.

Posted by Scott Tribe on August 8, 2008, at 2:13 pm |

Gloria Kovach, Conservative (installed) candidate for Guelph, seems to think Guelph is in the Atlantic Provinces or something, because she’s been busy issuing story releases at her site attacking the Liberals who are meeting there, as well as her concern for the Green Shift and its effect on Atlantic Canada.

I’m going to help Gloria out [...]
