“Parlons Quebec”–Sure, Let’s Talk Quebec–After April 15, Perhaps?

By ck, on April 10th, 2011

Lately, the Bloc Quebecois have been seeing their polling numbers drop by pretty much every polling firm these days. While they still hold a commanding lead, and 308.com’s last seat projections pretty much have the Bloc remaining in tact, with one gainp–Portneuf-Jacques-Cartier currently held by independent Conservative, Andre Arthur. So, why are the . . . → Read More: “Parlons Quebec”–Sure, Let’s Talk Quebec–After April 15, Perhaps?

What’s Happening In Outremont?

By ck, on April 9th, 2011

I had a suspicion lately that Martin Cauchon’s campaign in Outremont was in serious trouble. I see a few Mulcair lawn signs here, but none for Cauchon. I read the articles about the community in The Gazette and in other community papers and all will vote for Mulcair, although many of those people . . . → Read More: What’s Happening In Outremont?

A Vote For The Liberals Is a Vote For the Bloc? How Does That Work?

By ck, on April 8th, 2011

Yes, a very stupid Harpercon incumbent, Brian Jean, in Alberta tweeted this today.

… Every vote for the Liberals is a vote for the Bloc. Vote conservative and keep Canada together.

More blackmail and he’s failing miserably at it.

The reality is that most pundits in Quebec, including Chantal Hebert, and many in . . . → Read More: A Vote For The Liberals Is a Vote For the Bloc? How Does That Work?

Why, Senator Touchdown Smith, I do Believe That’s What We Call Blackmail, What Say You?

By ck, on April 7th, 2011

Senator Touchdown opened his claptrap yet again. What a buffoon! I can’t believe those WASPs in the Montreal Waste Island are about to vote this clown in! Apparently, they have no aversion to blackmail?

In making his case, Smith said his riding in western Montreal could expect more federal funding if it voted . . . → Read More: Why, Senator Touchdown Smith, I do Believe That’s What We Call Blackmail, What Say You?

Lucky Thing I Didn’t Book Time Off Work And Take a Long Trek To Dollard-des-Ormeaux

By ck, on April 4th, 2011

Well, well, well, all are not welcome at Harpercon rallies, it would appear. First, this, from a Conservative who attended a rally where he learned of folks being turned away, and not because of overcrowding neither.

I received an email this morning from a Conservative friend (not from my riding) who was . . . → Read More: Lucky Thing I Didn’t Book Time Off Work And Take a Long Trek To Dollard-des-Ormeaux

Could The Red Book 2011 Backfire For the Liberals?

By ck, on April 3rd, 2011

I’m going to play Devil’s advocate yet again, but more to the point I’m going to play the cynic here. After all, given the pattern of the daily Nanos poll, showing the Harpercons going up steadily and the Liberals going down despite good campaigning from the Liberals and a poor one from the . . . → Read More: Could The Red Book 2011 Backfire For the Liberals?

Hey Harpercons Coo-Coo For Tough On Crime: Why Aren’t You Denouncing This?

By ck, on April 3rd, 2011

In Harpercon incumbent, young dipshit Pierre Pollievre’s southern Ottawa riding of Carleton-Nepean, the Liberal candidate, Ryan Keon had all or almost all of his signs defaced with crosshair scrawls. I see someone has been learning civility, civics and democracy from Sarah Palin.

By ck, on March 30th, 2011

What is with Julie Poo Fantino and his ability of robbing Liberals of endorsements. First, in the by-election of last Fall, the former MP for Vaughan, Maurizio Bevilacqua, had reportedly endorsed the robocop in exchange for his endorsing Bevilacqua’s mayoralty campaign.

Everybody’s coming out with them. I thought I should put in my two cents. I have divided my analysis into two parts as it will be long, particularly my take on Montreal ridings. I have added some trivia, some trademark CK snark and some humour.

Glad Someone’s Bringing It Up! Good Work Gilles!

By ck, on March 26th, 2011

Gilles Duceppe calls Stevie Spiteful a liar.

“He lied,” Duceppe said, recalling a 2004 meeting in a Montreal hotel room to hammer out the details of an agreement to replace the then-Liberal government.

Bernard Lord, as it turns out, will not be running in the upcoming election. No reason appears to be given, although it is hinted that he has other career and family priorities.

I really believe that. Despite all the twisted excuses he comes up with to not go to an election. Anything from potential advanced polling dates falling on Passover to the Japanese earthquake.
