in Randy Hillier interview on Stephen Taylor - a blog about Canadian politics
I like this guy. Strikes me as a true Conservative. He seems to be the only one who recognizes, at both the federal and provincial levels, that the only way to successfully govern a province as diverse and complex as Ontario is to treat everyone equally. He strikes me as being the only candidate who has the will to undo the mess that will have been left by McDopey and his cabal.

in Iggy cuts the pork, and the line on Stephen Taylor - a blog about Canadian politics
Also telling, and quintessentially Canadian, is that nobody in the queue told Iggy to get in line like everyone else. Canada truly is a country of doormats.

It's not a popularity contest, it's about running a country. Personality cults are for the pathetically shallow and uncritical.

There really is nothing special about this. Most adults would call it growing up.

Yes, I watched it too. Ignatieff sucking and blowing at the same time: on the one hand blaming Harper for the deficit and on the other hand complaining about a dearth in funding. The guy is truly an economic wizard, isn't he?

in The Liberal Party policy amendment that’s causing a buzz this morning on Stephen Taylor - a blog about Canadian politics
Do you really expect any conservative to denounce IBM for environmental practices when they've taken these steps of their own free will? Will the rest of us be allowed our freedom of choice or will we be subject to the tyranny of the superstition of AGW?

kferaday Actually initially IBM didn't act of their own free will. TLM was thrust on them by the EU.

You make $25K sound like a drop in the bucket. It's only feasible with government subsidies.

If the ideas you cite are so incredible they won't need government subsidies nor will the government need to force them upon us. Let the consumer decide. They are smart enough to discern whether or not the superstition of AGW is a reality or not based on objective evidence, evidence that the proponents of AGW, in spite of their proselytizing, have utterly failed to produce.

kferaday OK then I you will agree we should stop subsidizing big oil companies and simply let the auto sector die. Not to mention forestry and agriculture. And on and on. The reality is that governments frequently act as market makers. I'm surprised that anyone is making the whole "free markets" are best argument given the almost complete failure of the markets over the last six months (banks in particular). I suggest you read Paul Krugman's editorial from yesterday's NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/10/opinion/10kru...). As for the whole global warming is not real argument well that's just not worth commenting on.

in The press gallery won’t let old partisan attack go on Stephen Taylor - a blog about Canadian politics
The PPG is as shallow as a dinner plate. Always has been, always will be. Ignore them.
