Despite Canadians receiving travel warnings about dangerous conditions in Sydney, apparently Canadians are coming downunder in droves. I just hope that if there are any Conservatives amongst them, they get back to Canada in time to vote. If they are Martin supporters, best they spend voting day on the Birdsville Track.
I know! I know! I know!....it's a polar bear in a blizzard :)
If mainstream media outlets lose their monopoly on the news spin, it could have a big impact on the way Canadians perceive the campaign--and future ones. "Canadian media--with the exception of you guys [the Western Standard], because you have a blog on your site--are much more arrogant than their American counterparts," says Kinsella. "They can't conceive that they are losing their power, but the fact is, they are."
Very nice.
Good article NZerFromHK ... thanks for posting it!
There's a different feeling in the air this time around.
For these types of mobile light infantry units, a better choice than the Humvee even though the Humvee has heavier armour.

As one who follows Canadian politics to some extent, I grasp most of the points listed esxcept #15. Could someone eplease explain/expound? I don't get the "Hidden Agenda" thingee, let alone the reversal....Thanks..
Will it change the Plank constant? Will the value change from 6625·10-34 J·s?
I THINK NOT!
For some weird reason the liberal PM Marin wrapped himself in the flag and said he would battle the separatists in Quebec on every street corner. Then, when challenged to a one on one debate by the separatist leader, Duceppte, Mr. Martin declined. That left an opening for Harper, the Conservative, to step in and say the he would debate Duceppte one on one.
Also the Liberals are slowing the campaign down during the Holidays and allowing those campaign workers who took a leave of absence from their government jobs to work and be paid by the liberal party during the campaign, to go back to their original jobs in the civil service. This has allowed the conservatives an opening to say that the Liberals are allowing the taxpayers to pay for liberal workers during the election campaign.
This is getting real interesting. If the NDP and liberals split the vote, the Conservatives could come up the middle. Also Harper's comments on Quebec and the endorsement of Quebec's leader for the conservative leader, Harper will start to move him in that part of the country to at least get a few seats.
I also note that where I live in Eastern Ontario and in Western Ontario, its turning a lot conservative compared to years past.
My big concern is in British Columbia. For some weird reason, likely good organization, the liberals and NDP are playing well and it likely means the conservatives will lose seats compared as years gone by. I really never understood B.C. at times.
There is no way the New Democrats would form a coalition with the Liberals - that would make them look like absolute idiots.
Afterall, it was the New Democrats who withdrew their support in Parliament for the Liberals, which initially triggered this election. Why would they then do a 1-80 and support the Libs? That would make them look like buffoons, not to mention they would be blamed for the millions spent on a pointless election.
I hope this is all going to come to pass.

You are absolutely correct. The NDP will support a minority Harper government.
In my not-so-humble opinion.
FWIW, I live in a Tory riding that will most likely go NDP this election, as will several others in B.C. and Saskatchewan.
