MacDougall says no early June prorogation.

There's increasingly explosive revelations every night on CTV, plus CBC might have more on Brazeau next week. Forget drip-drip-drip, more like BOOM-BOOM-BOOM. We can only wait to see what Fife says on Sunday, or if CBC reveals the Brazeau thing next week. Wonder if the next revelation is about "what Harper knew, and when did he know it?"

Fife will have more on Sunday's QP, and Rempel will be on to answer some of those questions.

Wallin will have to repay $60k before the audit, hundreds of thousands of dollars potentially at issue, RCMP will get the audit once it's complete. As for Duffy, original report was much tougher, he sought an exemption, claimed his Ottawa residence for multiple purposes, was only in PEI during the summer. Legal letter between Wright and Duffy for that deal. Parliament might be prorogued in early June. To which I can only say WTF.

Apparently there was a below-the-radar red-baiting campaign by the Liberals.

Harper will be reading the riot act to caucus on Tuesday re spending.

Apparently Brazeau told Solomon that he has written proof he was allowed to charge expenses now deemed bad. Guess we'll hear more about that next week, when Harper will be in South America.

Badgerland, obviously.

Wallin is also out of the Tory caucus.

Cuomo, very reluctantly.

RIP.

Conservative.

In the wake of another polling fiasco, here's a '62 article from Gwyn on our very first federal internal polls, done by the PCs. Less than 40% was supposed to yield 70-odd seats, yet obviously IRL they unfortunately got 116. H/T Delacourt's weekend column on pollmageddon. I agree with her that the focus has to be below the topline: demographics, geography, etc. Especially here in Quebec where you have to watch Francophone and regional breakdowns.

For nominations only, depending on Cordray/McCarthy/Perez. WH would support him.

Unless a media outlet gets the tape and verifies it...

Prodi has reportedly left the PD.

Wynne is giving the Dippers what they want on accountability but still aren't backing down on transit funding.

LOL.

Posted in the Megathread, but yeah, this is awesome news.

Handel's in.

Rubio is prepping.

Liberal pollster says he called a majority with 48 seats. Used old-style, manual landline methodology. Food for thought.

Here's the full exit. More people voted against than for, and those people voted Grit.

They never liked him to begin with, plus he ran the BC NDP campaign.

Pablo Rodriguez as the Grit candidate?

Russia's sending Assad advanced ASMs.
