Liberal Party attends conference with virulent anti-Semites

The Liberal Party of Canada belongs a federation call the Liberal International, which includes as members some of the most virulently anti-Semitic organizations in the world. Egypt, home to these groups, is hosting the 56th Congress of the Liberal International.

Too bad Michael Ignatieff couldn't take this opportunity to declare that Canadian Liberals would attend conferences with these sorts of people.

Update: Apparently the Liberal Party of Canada isn't attending. Funny, but I don't remember a news release declaring this decision not to attend to be a protest against the membership of these groups in the Liberal International.

Liberal Party: We can do better press releases...not!

The Liberal Party under Michael Ignatieff has made a promise: "We can do better."

For a start, let's try managing our H1N1 flu press releases a little bit more carefully, shall we?

8 Europe has some great budget airlines. We have them in the US in the process but nowhere near as less expensive. However, baggage is where many belonging to the European budget airlines get you. Not as big of an issue here on baggage. That's why it helps to look at all the costs of traveling and not just the flight.

Michael Ignatieff fires his Chief of Staff

Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff, having led this party to the mid-20s in the polls, has fired his Chief of Staff, Ian Davey.

This leads to uncomfortable question of just how is it that Ian Davey can be blamed for Liberal misfortune.

Dislodging the Conservatives? The Liberals have only one real option

The Conservatives seem to have settled into the 40% range for support, while the Liberals continue to drop, now showing 25% in the latest poll.

Canadians are not listening to the Liberals at this point, and that is very bad news for Michael Ignatieff. Now the Liberals face the daunting task of dislodging the Conservatives, not just trying to catch up with them. The volatility in the electorate seems to be fading.

So how do you dislodge a dug in opponent? By doing something very dramatic.

I just don't think the Liberals have the guts to do what I propose.

Garth Turner leaves politics as a failure

Former Liberal MP Garth Turner has abandoned his quest for a seat in the next election.

And in classic Garth Turner fashion, he blames everyone around him.

In doing so, he cements his legacy, not as a politician who merely lost, but as one who failed.

Recharging the legal batteries

It's been a year since failed MP Blair Wilson filed his lawsuit. I looked for donations when the suit was started. One year later, I'd like to ask for your generosity again.

Garth Turner is turfed as Dufferin-Caledon candidate

Some time back, I wrote about what I discovered to be serious divisions in the Dufferin-Caledon Liberal Party riding association about having Garth Turner stand as the candidate.

A key aspect of that division was the refusal by the federal Liberal Party (Ontario) to give the go-ahead for a nomination meeting, and the suggestion that the meeting would be held off as long as Garth Turner was the only nominee.

It seems like the anti-Garth-Turner faction has succeeded, and Garth Turner has quit his campaign to be the nominee.

Latest Update: The real reason for quitting the race? Because it was about to become a race.

Garth Turner and respecting intellectual property

Garth Turner pioneered digital democracy, or at least that's what he says. In any case, you would think someone so into the digital world would be more careful about the use of digital imagery without permissions.

Good polls? Yay! Bad poll? What poll?

I try not to discuss polls simply because it's too easy to fixate on favourable polls and then get caught ignoring bad polls. Personally, I would find that embarrassing.

Happy Thanksgiving to the members of the Liberal Party

A Thanksgiving message for members of the Liberal Party. They might not feel like they have much to be thankful for right now. And they don't.

So it's not a pleasant message. But it's one they need to hear if they want still be Liberals when next Thanksgiving comes around.

Michael Ignatieff sings: Where are his handlers?!

OK, I don't know why I feel compelled to help, but here is some advice for Michael Ignatieff, not that it matters now.

After Stephen Harper's tour de force performance at the NAC Gala, you must not ever sing. Ever! It will be seen as sad and pathetic.

So what does Michael Ignatieff do? He sings!

A bit too much drama injected into the head of state story

To hear it in the press, it would seem like Governor General Michaelle Jean was called out on the carpet by a furious PMO who had been monitoring her speeches.

It's not quite that dramatic, and I wonder if the media is pumping this up a bit.

Ignatieff’s game changing tax hike talk is replaced with policy vacuum

It seemed briefly like Michael Ignatieff was going to try to change the political landscape by engaging in a discussion about raising taxes.

Bold? Foolhardy?

Who knows? Even before anyone could applaud or criticize the idea, Michael Ignatieff backed down, leaving nothing behind but confusion, and acute embarrassment among Liberals.

Liberal floor crosser story is not a Conservative machination

How is it that people think that the Conservatives are behind the story of potential Liberal floor crossers? The story was first reported last week by Don Martin, who says he spoke to Liberal MPs about the possibility.

Do Liberals blame Michael Ignatieff too?

If columnist John Ibbitson is right, the problem for the Liberals, who have been hit yet again with a miserable polling report, is not that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is fantastically popular, but the Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff is terribly unpopular.

So if I was a Liberal, I would be wondering why Liberals aren't fixing the real problem.

Stephen Harper performs at the NAC Gala: Video crushes the opposition

In this age of online politics, it is interesting to see how effective the Conservatives and Liberals have been at harnessing the web to get out their message and sway public perception.

Based on the sheer numbers, the Conservatives are crushing the Liberals.

Stephen Harper hits the perfect key

In a video that could go viral, at least within Canada's online political community, Stephen Harper cuts loose at the National Arts Centre Gala, playing "With a Little Help from My Friends" by The Beatles, to a standing ovation.

Oh, how far the Green Shift has fallen

Remember Stephane Dion's Green Shift tax grab? Apparently the Liberal Party does not, since they've allowed the domain name for the French-language site to be used to peddle a masturbation aid. And yes, you can follow links from the Liberal Party home page to find this page dedicated to...the Fleshlight!

I kid you not.
