Reformatory lead plummets to five points
Analysis by the pollster who found that:
“Although the survey doesn’t have direct evidence on this point, it is possible that this recoil effect, which is a recurring pattern of the past five years, was magnified by the Bev Oda affair. In a familiar pattern of voter recoil and government missteps, the tantalizing majority of a fortnight ago has evaporated into the narrow rut advantage of the last year. Zap! You’ve been Odasized!”
“Odasized.” I thought that was funny. Good one.
Legal question(s)
Which I’ve researched, to no avail:
1. Is sleepwalking considered a disability within the meaning of the provincial human rights codes?
2. If it is a disability, and a school prohibits a child from participating in the curriculum (eg. overnight field trips, etc.) because of it, is there an action that can be brought?

My theory
Dial up the reaction. Demand the toughest response, so he can point to it when criticized.
He’s done this before. Said no to ballistic missile defence, was worried how the Americans would react. So he sent us to the most dangerous part of Afghanistan, so he could point to it when criticized.
The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same.
Better in a box of crackerjacks
Check this out: two eldest sons and I were working on their homework yesterday, pre-hockey game. One of them pulls out a big Cadbury Dairy Milk bar he bought at a convenience store near the Distillery District. Takes a chunk out of it, peels back the wrapper, and this what he sees.
It’s kind of funny, but it also got us wondering about what else may be tumbling out of Cadbury workers’ pockets into the big vats of chocolate. Any suggestions about what to do?

(We lost.)
I was interviewed about Libya earlier today by CITY-TV. Anyone see it?
Issue management case study
When you are pushing for a “merger” – one which, best case, is of dubious value to all but a few very rich people – it’s usually not a good idea not to send out a silver-spoon conservative to snipe at a street-smart Liberal. Particularly a Liberal like Dwight Duncan.
This Caldwell character may have sunk the TSX deal all on his own. Congratulations, genius.
