I was positively delighted to learn that an unwanted bird had finally flitted away. I can now stop hating the place, and refer work to them.

When we heard this story on CBC this morning, we all got a bit sniffly. This guy is a hero – and in a Hummer, no less!

The polling firm that says the NDP is way ahead…

…is the same firm that declared the Parti Québeçois was headed towards “a comfortable majority.”

Why does the Star do this? Why does any media organization, for that matter?

Media political polls have turned into a bloody farce. The media are shredding their credibility by repeating the same mistake, over and over.

I’m starting the Jean Charest for Liberal Party leader campaign, right here. Who’s in?

Winners: pro-Canada parties.

Losers: pollsters, pundits, PQ.

Steve, whose stuff I read religiously, had this amazing tweet a few minutes ago:

Canadians spent 28.5 hours a week watching TV last year, says CRTC, up half hour from last year.

I find that amazing. A day a week! Who has time to do that?

I don’t watch TV at all. Zero, zippo, zilch. No news programs, no reality shows, no nothing. Haven’t for years. (And I am only able to post my Sun News clips on this web site because I see them online.)

I don’t have a big ideological objection to TV, although I do find that much of it is stupid. Mainly, I just don’t have the time. That’s why I’m astounded that so many others can devote the equivalent of an entire day a week to the idiot box.

Who’s like me? And which of you are part of the majority?

As of Tuesday night, Canadian politics is going to change for the worse — for Conservatives, for Liberals, for independents. But the New Democratic Party won’t give a damn.

As of Tuesday night — and if successive polls are correct – the Parti Quebecois will win power in Quebec. And, as of Tuesday night, separatism (or the threat of it) will once again start to dominate our national agenda and paralyze our politics. The NDP, however, don’t care about that. Because, among other things, the New Democrats have quietly transformed themselves into the successor to the Bloc Quebecois in the House of Commons. The NDP are the separatists’ Trojan Horse in Ottawa.

And that is a development that should concern everyone who cares about Canada.

A group we do work with – one focused on gender issues – is looking for an entry-level female writer, one with writing samples, great attitude, etc. Full time post.

If you know such a person, or are such a person, contact me.
