With a lot of young people taking a special interest in this year’s federal election — or at least we hope they are — we begin this special series of reports from one recent university grad who decided to get involved at the campaign level. Watch for Katrina’s updates over the weeks to come. By […]

Pierre Poilievre and the nattering nabobs
By Frank Moher Sometimes, to my amazement, and certainly against my better judgement, I find myself sympathizing with our current federal government. These moments — some might call them lapses — occur very occasionally. The last one, for example, was in June of last year, when the Cons reversed themselves on the idea of charging a […]
Province over party in Alberta
By Alison@Creekside In three days Albertans go to the polls. Here’s how that’s looking as of yesterday according to 308: As part of his election platform, Calgary-Klein Green Party candidate Noel Keough made a great case for raising corporate taxes in Alberta — the lowest in the country – by just 2% in order to […]
Trudeau stands up
By Montreal Simon The other day I wrote a post where I asked, or begged our progressive leaders to elevate their game. To go big or go home. And make the struggle to defeat the Harper Cons a larger struggle to save Canada and its values. And I have to say that last night in […]

Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Cpl. Cirillo was killed today — murdered in cold blood — as he provided […]
L’affaire Butt: What’s not to get?
Are you confused by the Brad Butt affair? We can’t imagine why. Look, it’s simple: The Con MP for Mississauga-Streetsville rose in the House twice on February 6th to say, in defense of the Fair Elections Act, that he’d personally witnessed voter fraud going on in the lobby of “an apartment building.” Then he rose […]
Leaked docs throw new light on Fair Elections Act
By Alison@Creekside Last week, the Star published a half dozen articles based on secret memos and a 70-page slide show about the Cons’ 2015 election war room strategies, anonymously leaked to them, and as presented to the Conservative National Council (above) by Harper’s former dcomm and now executive director of the CPC, Dimitri Soudas: “Everything we do […]
