Take Back Canada

Well, I hope everyone's summer's going well. Have a great Canada Day this weekend, and I leave you with a link to the new YLC campaign, Take Back Canada. Enjoy yourself this weekend!

Bye Bye Bill Graham

Well, it appears that Bill Graham has decided to retire. He was a very nice person, and a good interim leader. He came to talk to our club last November, and gave a nice speech. I wish him the best of luck in his upcoming endeavors.

I also would like to wish Bob Rae the best of luck in his fight for the riding. It won't be easy, but let's hope he keeps the riding red.

Dion Doesn't Buy His Own Clothes!

Well, everyone is aflutter about the fact that Dion lets his wife shop for his clothes. Now, this may be a terrible thing to happen in and of itself, but I think the question we really need to ask ourselves is this: If Harper let his wife buy his clothes for him, would she have gotten him this:

Alberta Libs win something?!?!

Well, looks like there could be some troubles in Steady Eddie's camp, as the Alberta Liberals have won the byelection in Calgary Elbow. While it's still way too early to start mentioning the downfall of the Alberta PCs, it's always nice to see them lose like this. Congrats to everyone on the campaign out there, and good job in winning it. Keep up the good work for the next election out there and we may see some changes out in the Conservative heartland.

Summer delays

Well, I know I haven't updated recently, and there are a few reasons. One, I've been pretty busy with school the last few weeks, getting into midterms and all for this term. Second, I haven't really found inspiration. Barring some overly exciting events, I'll probably take it fairly slow the next few months.

But coming up, it should still be interesting to see how the Alberta provincial by-elections turn out. The Liberals have a real shot at the seat in Calgary, and it would truly be a great victory for them to win that seat. People seem upset at the PCs, and it would be great for the opposition to capitalize on it. Still a long way from fully booting them out of power, but the smaller and smaller the PCs get, the better it is for Alberta.

There goes our summer excitement

Well, it looks like we're going to avoid some summer excitement, since the PQ has caved in and looks to not oppose the Quebec budget. Seemed obvious that someone was going to blink here, since I'd probably think that none of the 3 parties really want to see what would happen if the Liberals lost the vote.
