Insulting Montreal, good idea or bad idea?

You know, I don’t think this is the sort of thing our National Director should be saying… Macleans doing tourist promotion edition on Montreal this week http://bit.ly/8VVTr – Montreal is a corrupt, crumbling, mob-ridden disgrace …particularly considering there is a by-election in Hochelaga going on right now. Smarten up, Rocco.

About Time

As I have been saying, it was time for a shakeup in the Leader’s Office. Today we got one: Word had been leaking out that Mr. Donolo, a popular and well-respected Liberal, was about to be appointed Michael Ignatieff’s chief of staff. That meant that Ian Davey, 51, son of legendary rainmaker Keith Davey, was [...]

About That Ipsos Poll

Listen, I’m not happy about this poll either. I never had a huge problem with Dion, although the way he was treated as leader by other Liberals was pretty despicable. All this poll is going to do is worsen the treatment that Michael is going to receive, in my opinion. I was originally worried that [...]

Just Cheque-ing

Glad we’ve been able to wreak havoc on the Reform-Conservatives. But I really have to wonder what’s the difference between this: And this: Hopefully we don’t end up getting our own guys into trouble by over pursuing this.

Rae Days: 2

My, the things one finds on Twitter: As I’ve been saying, this sort of undermining of the leader has to stop. Are we going to spend our time bickering or focus on what’s important: defeating Harper and his Reform-Conservatives?

Rae Days (A new series)

As regular readers will know, I’ve been having a bit of a fit lately about what certain people are attempting to do to our leader. I don’t really know how to deal with it anymore, so I’m just going to keep pointing it out in a new series I’m calling “Rae Days”. Hopefully I can [...]

Amateur Hour in OLO

I still support Michael. But I no longer can maintain any support for the people around him. September was bad. October, amazingly, might turn out to actually be worse: Ignatieff to talk tax hikes, cost-cutting to tame deficit Ignatieff to talk tax hikes Ignatieff Denies Talks on Raising Taxes Conservatives extend poll lead over Liberals [...]

Good call

This is welcome news: Michael Ignatieff poised to appoint new Quebec lieutenant

Iggyspeak

Aaron Wherry over at Maclean’s was kind enough to post Michael’s speech in the Commons. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy we’re finally going to, y’know, oppose the SO-CONS. IMO we should have been doing this for a while now, but hey –better late than never, right? Anyway, my point is: can we find the [...]

Ignatieff needs to clean house

There comes a time in every great leader’s tenure where you have to clean house to take it to the next level. Chretien did it. Martin didn’t. Let’s not forget that we’d be in the first day of an election right now down by 7 points, if the Rosedale Gang had their way. Michael, it’s [...]
