 | Trackback for this entry..and why I mentioned in the prior blogpost of mine that the pressure needs to be kept on them on the Afghan detainees story. The first poll taken after the Afghan detainee flap and the revelations by Colvin and then the sudden reversal by General Natynczyk that yes, there was evidence that Afghan detainees had [...] Tags: Afghan detainees, Angus-Reid, BQ, COnsrvative Party, coverrup, Green Party, human rights, Liberal Party, NDP, opinion polls, torture, voting intentions | Category: Canadian Politics, International Politics |

| Trackback for this entryI won’t sugar-coat my views on things; the latest set of polls are not good for those of us in the Liberal camp. The latest includes today’s Ekos poll release, that has a few of us Liberal-allied blogs smarting. I’m sure the Liberal politicians and strategists are smarting even worse. I have a few qualifiers [...] Tags: Ekos, Liberal Party, Michael Ignatieff, polls | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryI don’t often do a lot of “wonkish” blogposts on here with regards to the inner workings of political party and whether something (like the political culture of the members) should be changed or not, but in light of a recent situation, I thought I’d do such a post on the topic [...] Tags: Canadian political culture, Electoral District Associations, Liberal Party, local ridings | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryOn this Sunday, just a brief comment about this announcement by Michael Ignatieff that there would be a renewal committee established by the Liberal party. It’s all well and good to establish a committee to renew the party, but this committee is comprised of the Liberal establishment as well as members of the Liberal caucus. [...] Tags: grassroots, Liberal Party | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryI’ve seen this being mentioned elsewhere on blogs and in at least 1 newspaper article (though where escapes me at the moment as I search for it), but there’s been some talk on whether the Liberal Party should replace the traditional Leadership Convention (some would call it anachronistic) that uses delegates to choose Liberal leaders, [...] Tags: grassroots, Liberal Party, One Member, One Vote, reform | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryThe former Liberal premier of New Brunswick, Frank McKenna, has announced he will not be running for the Liberal leadership. I’ve stated a couple of times I’d remain neutral in this race (for now), but I’ll say this: you can’t argue with his success as premier, but for myself anyhow, Mr. Mckenna was a bit [...] Tags: leadership race, Liberal Party | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryA suggestion was made over at the Liberal 308 Facebook group that perhaps a website might be in order – not only to help spread the word, but to be usable for those folks reluctant to use Facebook. So, one of our Facebook group members, Clara Chang, took some initiative and created one. She [...] Tags: "10 + 3", grassroots, Liberal 308, Liberal Party, netroots, reforms | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entry..for being somewhat disconnected from blogging of late, but family matters have intruded again.. and that’s much more important then blogging, though I think we’re going to have some things solved as of next week, which will be a relief to everyone. In the meanwhile though, the Liberal 308 group at Facebook is growing steadily since [...] Tags: "10 + 3", grassroots, Liberal 308, Liberal Party, reforms | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryWhat exactly is Liberal 308? I’ll let Drew Adamick, the creator of this new group at Facebook, explain in his own words: We need to rebuild and renew the Liberal Party and Liberalism in Canada. Liberal 308 is a pilot project for this renewal. What does Liberal 308 mean? It means that we must build and [...] Tags: "10 + 3", grassroots, Liberal 308, Liberal Party, reform | Category: Canadian Politics |
