Apparently, some folks on the Conservative side are a tad upset at some sulphur comparison Mr. Ignatieff made about Harper; some of the usual suspects in the media too. Some folks don’t have very long memories about certain Conservative smear campaigns against present and past Liberal leaders – but hey, Harper didn’t say those [...]

 | Trackback for this entryThis poll is a day old in its release, but I found it noteworthy for a couple of reasons: One reason is this: (This) EKOS poll gives the Conservatives 30.5 per cent support from Canadians, compared to 26.3 per cent for the Liberals. The Tories have been sliding over the past few weeks, losing [...] Tags: canadian polls, Ekos, electoral reform, Liberal Party, voting intentions | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryYou might expect my Liberal blogging colleagues to offer praise to the conference (though these folks have never minced words or not criticized the Liberal Party when they felt the need to), but it appears a fair number of media folks are not repeating the conventional wisdom before Canada 150 took place that this [...] Tags: Canada 150, Liberal Party | Category: Canadian Politics |

| Trackback for this entryAs I said yesterday, a lot of journalists and other opinionated folks in the media and elsewhere have gone in with pre-conceived notions that the Liberals ‘Canada 150′ conference is going to bomb. Well, here’s a chance to watch for yourself and make up your own mind; the conference is being streamed live all [...] Tags: Canada 150, Liberal Party | Category: Canadian Politics |

| 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 today.

| 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 [...] 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 [...] Tags: grassroots, Liberal Party, One Member, One Vote, reform | Category: Canadian Politics |
