Since when does implementing sensible policy make one a parody?

PKP is retiring from politics for family reasons, namely his ugly separation. First permanent oppo leader never to contest a GE.

Too bad. He would have made for an interesting election.

Leadership candidates?

Cloutier, Hivon, Lisée, Aussant, Drainville. If I were them I'd go for Cloutier or Hivon. Young, likable, talented, no GE baggage. Structural and intraparty will be tough, needless to say.

Oh, there's a few rumours going around that Stephen McNeil is going to call a snap election this spring. Nova Scotia loves to speculate on this topic with every premier because John Buchanan won back to back re-elections off of snap elections in the 1980's. I personally doubt McNeil calls an election.

Calling elections 2 1/2 years after the last election never ends well for the government.

Former NDP MP Ian Deans (and ex-husband of Ottawa city councillor Diane Deans) has died. RIP.

Well this is shocking to say the least.

Has any American or Canadian city this large been completely evacuated since New Orleans during Katrina?

A lot of people are driving all the way to Edmonton rather than stay at nearby campgrounds.

Sadly, it was thr right call to do, as the city is currently burning. Beacon Hill is 80% destroyed, some other neighbourhoods are quite devasted, too.

Brian Jean, the Wildrose Party leader, is among the people whose house burnt.

Alberta has requested federal assistance, 48 hours till the Army and Air Force arrive.

Wynne says 2 of her MPPs were linked to sexual harassment.

Alberta PCs held their first AGM since the 2015 election yesterday.  78% voted in favour of holding an election to find a permanent leader.  Also of note, the party will be returning to the delegated convention style of leadership election.

Trudeau: foreign aid target too ambitious.

Turns out Albertan parties can't legally merge in the usual sense. So Jean has to wipe out the Progs electorally.

There's no reason why Alberta shouldn't have two right wing parties. No need to go back to decades of one party rule.

Speaking of Alberta, considering Notley has done a super job handling the Fort Mac fire, I wonder if this might just save the NDP in the province.
