Ignatieff, succinctly summing up why the Liberals won’t support the Conservatives any more.

Canadian federal politics, September 2009. Nothing has changed and it is as predictable as ever. I’ll leave it to better writers and political commentators to disseminate all the details, but here is a quick rundown of what’s happened so far in ‘09.

I can’t stand the provincial NDP. They have got to be the most mindless political group I can think of. I’m not sure they have an original thought amongst the whole party.

I heard it over and over leading up to this fall’s federal election. People were voting Conservative because of the economy.

Not sure how you want to vote for the federal election? Caught between a rock and a hard decision? Or perhaps you think it is an easy decision but there’s some lingering questions in your mind.

Before Canadians sit down and really think about who they want to be the next Prime Minister, a good exercise for everyone to do is answer the question, “Does Stephen Harper deserve to have a majority government?

I’ve been trying to find some interesting Canadian political blogs so I can try and catch up on the skinny for the upcoming election (I’m wading through a lot of links and surprised at how many blogs haven’t been updated since 2007).

There’s a lot of talk about an early election this fall in Vancouver. Harper says the current government is unworkable and ineffective, and therefore an election is needed.

According to John Gomery, the new government hasn’t acted on any of the recommendations given in his report. A CBC news article also tells of how the only thing to come of the inquiry is the federal accountabilities act, and this was legislation prepared before his report was even released.

Apparently the ethics commissioner said today that he found nothing unethical in the actions of Emerson and Harper, in regards to Emerson’s party switching.
