Who's the loser, eh? It's not who you think.
Garth Turner, Liberal MP and alleged communications guru, has gotten into trouble.
Again.
This time he has called Quebeckers and Albertans who are worried about their livelihoods and their futures losers.
As a result, he's been chewed out in a big way. Does that make him the real loser?
Yes, but perhaps surprisingly, not the biggest loser in this story.
Yeah, Garth Turner. What can you say that hasn't been said already.
The Liberal MP who represents the people of...
The end of the Internet as we know it?
Imagine that your ISP blocked access to every site on the Internet. Then as a subscriber, you paid a monthly fee for access to basic blocks of sites, as well as extra fees for other sites not in the basic package.
Apparently this will define access to the Internet for Canadians in 2010.
I know, it sounds nuts.
Part of me wonders if I was directed to this story by someone wanting to embarrass me.
But then the idea has just plausible enough to make me think it could be true.

Misappropriation of Personality
A reader on another blog asks what exactly earned the Liberals the charge of committing misappropriation the personality.

Kyoto (the protocol, not Stephane Dion's dog) demands it.
It makes no such demand of countries like India.
It doesn't seem fair, at first glance. Take a deeper look, and it's grossly unfair.
And I mean gross.
As we all know, the Kyoto Protocol, so much loved by Liberal Party leader...
Does David Suzuki sound nervous to you?
It wasn't too long ago when David Suzuki was urging young people to find ways to imprison politicians who don't interpret scientific evidence in the same way Suzuki does.
With polls showing a majority of people in British Columbia are against the provincial carbon tax, Suzuki has tried to play it a bit more casually.
The problem is that he comes off as nervous. Like he's worried that the crowds aren't listening to him anymore.
David Suzuki has put out an opinion piece in which...
No votes? Screw you!
Stephane Dion and the Liberals are looking more and more like the classic Liberal Party of years past, playing region against region based on vote potential.
Saskatchewan and Alberta have only one Liberal seat between them -- Ralph Goodale's seat in Saskatchewan.
So Stephane Dion's carbon tax plan is designed so that these western provinces will pay the lion's share of the carbon tax, while most of the so-called "revenue neutral" benefits will flow to Ontario and Quebec: ...
