		<description><![CDATA[Saving money for one’s golden years, when working is no longer possible or desirable, is a goal rightfully pursued by many Canadians. One does not expect to be working their entire lives just to survive. Nobody wishes to become an imposed burden on their family or friends during their later years. Yet, a flawed system [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Harper and Ignatieff have functionally the same views on the Iraq war, tar mining, climate change (something we'll get to after the tar sands are depleted), and Canada (they worship the United States). No wonder Canadians are leaning toward the devil they know.

		<description><![CDATA[Clearly, one of the main reasons the Liberals recruited Michael Ignatieff was for nostalgic and pragmatic purposes. They wanted another Pierre Trudeau. With polls suggesting the Liberals under Ignatieff are hemorrhaging support and the Conservatives are gaining support, this bold initiative seems to have withered into a false start.

Those bright, bookish types sometimes have it [...]

Obviously all political parties want to be in power, but in the case of the Liberals and Republicans, there seems [...]

Apparently the Martinites have come out ahead again despite the party faithful’s best efforts to circumvent both camps by electing Stephane Dion at the last real leadership convention.  Alas, Stephane just couldn’t get it together and [...]

The fact remains that if you are an author you will receive glowing admiration from Canadians.  It gets even [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It appears that Michael Ignatieff is doing what Liberals do best. Threatening to bring down the government if they don’t get their way. Usually, this bravado is backed up with all the power and force of a yelping chihuahua.  Rather annoying and not meaning much. This isn’t too harsh a description.  Two years [...]

		<description><![CDATA[With the Conservatives already planning their attack ads against Michael Ignatieff in preparation for the next election, one has to wonder just how swayed they can expect the public to be against their second straight Liberal opponent in under a year. Ignatieff has laughed off the threat, sarcastically quipping that he&#8217;s &#8220;shaking&#8221; at the thought. [...]
