If you thought Bush-hatred in America was bad, you should get a load of Harper-hate in Canada, the subject of my latest article for the Huffington Post. It’s a testament to the power of social media and the increasingly biased way most of us choose to consume our news that the Canadian party system is [...]
In my latest article for the Huffington Post, I look at the British Columbia Liberal Party’s ongoing indifference to right-wing voters in the province, despite the fact that they clearly need their support in order to beat the opposition NDP. Quote: In a particularly dopey piece in the Globe and Mail this week, Gary Mason commented that “the [...]
Just to mix things up a bit, I just wanted to write a quick post reviewing two things I’ve come into contact with lately, one bad, and one good. The first is The Iron Lady, which is a movie so awful and poorly-made I simply cannot believe anyone approved its release. Other reviewers have danced [...]
In my latest column for the Huffington Post, I look at Prime Minister Harper’s approach to foreign policy. To quote myself: In contrast to the man’s constant waffling elsewhere, foreign policy is the only real realm of “Harperism” where the PM has never significantly recanted, ignored, or undermined his own past views — an occurrence only [...]
My latest for the Huffington Post, in which I contrast the Canadian and American methods of choosing party leaders. If I may be a conventional blogger, here’s a quote from it: Last Tuesday, Mitt Romney eked out his narrow victory in the Iowa caucus with a total of 30,015 votes.

Christopher Hitchens died on December 15, 2011, the same day America’s nine-year adventure in Iraq, a war he so vigorously encouraged, glorified, and excused, formally concluded with the lowering of US colors at Baghdad International. Though perhaps not quite as rich in symbolism as the Fourth of July death of Thomas Jefferson — one of [...]
Here’s a new article I wrote for the Huffington Post entitled China: it’s not all cheap toys and Panda bears. It is, as you might expect kind of down on China.
Hey everyone, I got my first-ever article published on the Huffington Post. It’s an editorial about Prime Minister Harper’s incoherent immigration policy, entitled Tories’ Immigration Incoherence. If you want to comment on it, which I hope you will, please do it on the HuffPo page! Have to stimulate on-site discussion!
And we’re back! In this week’s episode, Jake and I talk about the official failure of the Super Committee, the rise of Newt Gingrich, America’s growing troubles with Pakistan, and the retirement of longtime Congressman Barney Frank. Filibuster podcast, November 29, 2011
