Mitt Romney

Instead of dismissing angry, alienated Canadians as racist bumpkins, we should try to convince them that the fight for economic justice is their fight too.

Could Prime Minister Stephen Harper be asking, this time, too much of an electorate he treats like a bunch of dummies? Naw… What could possibly go wrong?

Jim Prentice has revealed himself to be the Mitt Romney of Alberta politics: just the right amount of grey in his hair for appearance to triumph over substance.

No major natural event happens without political consequences. The floods that hit Southern Alberta will be no different, and they will likely do Premier Alison Redford no harm.

Oh no! Another bright spark with a digital recorder seems to have gone to a meeting.

Premier Redford seems to be labouring under the impression that if she can persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to OK the Keystone XL pipeline, all will be forgiven. Not necessarily.

Clearly conservatives have identified the environment as a potentially fatal weak point for their continued rule and will do their best to persuade Canadians they can be trusted on the green file.

It is not known when adherents of the Canadian neocon faith will elect their new spiritual leader -- although it's possible Preston Manning is available for the job.
