  1. Gotta love @chrizblizz's logic: the government spent too much on health care, but restraining spending will make patients suffer. Facepalm.
  2. @winstongee Don't believe me, believe the Toronto Star!
  3. Baird: "Their God-given right to worship their god." Jefferson: "You know nothing of my work." RIP Irony. international.gc.ca/media/aff/spee… #cdnpoli
  4. @winstongee He ran for the NDP after he burned his Liberal bridges, but not before he nearly became a Harper Conservative. Chew on that! :-)
  5. @GadflyQuebec The Truth According to Me, by Thomas Mulcair. I'm sure he'd gloss over the part where he nearly joined the Conservatives, too.
  6. @montezume @emmmacfarlane I think you're right that the next federal election results in Quebec will look very different from the last.
  7. @mrsinisterlefty I don't know. Something about seasonal fisheries?
  8. @montezume @emmmacfarlane A bold prediction, and probably wrong. Some angry students may have broken your crystal ball, my friend.
  9. @mrsinisterlefty Ah, but a ship must sail before it can sink.
  10. @mrsinisterlefty More like, if the wheels hadn't come off Mulcair's bus, his bus would still have wheels.
  11. @GadflyQuebec Mulcair says he quit because of political differences, which is what you say when you're egotistical and get demoted.
  12. @winstongee I have no doubt that Mulcair would claim, years later, that he was demoted because of political differences. He's a proud man.
  13. NDP'ers love to trash the Charest government, but had he not been offered a demotion, Thomas Mulcair would still be part of it. #cdnpoli

  15. @sas_robin Interesting, but wrong. Students aren't workers; they're students. And May '68 wasn't inspired by a marginal tuition increase.
  16. @kady Glad to hear it. Given how he has been portrayed as a staunch defender of Parliament, his silence seems newsworthy.
  17. @kady Have you asked Michael Chong?
  18. @sas_robin Of course. But Quebec has & will have the lowest tuition in Canada. Students profit from education. Shouldn't we share the cost?
  19. @Urbane_Achiever @keitholbermann @jkirchick Re: military authority, see Kerry in 2004; McCain in 2008; see also Kennedy in 1960.
