Even Michel Den Tandt sees accomplishments of HM Government. I again had a chance to meet HM PM at the reception for the Manning Center Pyramid awards. The reception was at the amazing Canadian war Museum. HM PM looked relaxed and spoke to many of the guests, including me. He and Mrs Harper looked great. HM PM has really grown into the job. It is more than 4 years that he has been HM PM. The grits

I wonder what matters more to Canadians, the economy or Afghan detainees? As we are midway through this economic recovery back into strong GDP growth and lower than expected unemployment, there are still some challenges left ahead that our parliament should be talking about. And yet as Parliament has resumed and the Liberals have been restored the ability to ask questions in the commons, they have

Canadians Against Liberals Not Doing Their Job is progressing nicely. The Facebook group is slowly starting to gain a following.
Your help would go a long way to boosting the numbers and getting the message out there that the Liberal Party of Canada is not doing the job they were elected to do - unless of course, voters in the last election were aware that the Liberals would abstain from work

A cautionary tale of woe by former Blogging Tory and good all around guy, Darcey Jerrom. He left Manitoba a Métis and returned an outsider, stripped of his status.
I guess that means if the work dries up in Manitoba, it’s best to go on welfare and keep your Métis status than grab a job across [...]

29 Liberals were absent from Parliament for a confidence vote on the budget earlier tonight.29 Liberals were not there to do their job and represent the people who elected them to office, which is a bit ironic considering their biggest complaint over prorogation was that they were not allowed to do their job, in Ottawa, in Parliament.Here are the Liberals that did, either by choice or by being tol

It is official; the Liberal Party is not going to force an election over the budget.

Instead of fixing the job crisis as it promised in yesterday’s Throne Speech, the Harper government appears to be coasting on last year’s stimulus budget, offering no meaningful new initiatives to get Canadians working again.
Today’s budget measures are a good step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to put [...]
