Let the campaign season begin!

Well, with Harper's press conference today, following from his open caucus session yesterday, we're now basically into campaign season. As much as both sides say they don't want an election, I think everyone's thinking that we'll have one pretty soon after we're back from the Holidays.

But until we actually get that campaign, we've got senate reform! and the upcoming cabinet shuffle to talk about. It's gonna be tough for Steve to figure out a way to arrange his Cabinet without admitting the complete failure on the environment. They need to try to send a message of actual policy and change on the environment without admitting their complete failure so far. It's a tough sell, and I think when it does come down, we'll have to try to hammer hard on it. I don't think the environment is the best thing for us to be fighting on, but it seems to be working so far, so we've got to push hard on it.
