I just met Kellie Leitch. She took my planning to not vote for her well.

So I went to a Nova Scotia PC fundraiser tonight. To show you how different Maritime politics are, Jamie Baille, the Tory leader, spent a solid third of his speech attacking Stephen McNeil's "cuts to the bone". He actually used the phrase "you can't balance the budget on the backs of the poor".

Ugh. David Akin opposes electoral reform, so I don't know if I can trust his analysis here.

Ontario will allow municipalities to restore photo radar near schools, all 3 parties support it.

Hatman: Well, CW does indicate a punt for now. Tongue

Cool: We found a missing (dummy) nuke from a 1950 USAF B-36 crash.

We're starting on thin ice with Trump, some personal diplomacy would help.

Having a drama teacher who knows how to stroke an ego (while the details are snarled up in endless committee meetings) won't hurt at all.

Grits considering sole sourcing Super Bugs as a stopgap fighter.

Monsef: no consensus on a particular voting system.

This is absurd. (While, admittedly he has a point about the low turnout, a switch to proportional representation would be very beneficial in a place like Canada).

Turnout was not that bad (I mean, terrible for PEI standards, but still), considering it is about the same as your average by-election or municipal election. And those who cared voted. Those who didn't, didn't, and if you don't care enough to vote, you don't care enough about the outcome.

The Liberal Party's flagrant disregard for the democratic deficit is a big reason I've never considered supporting them at all in my adult life.

Of course an important referendum like Quebec separation would never have bad turnout. The 1995 referendum had a 94% turnout.

Trudeau could teach those jerks on the streets of Miami a thing or two about proper decorum when a famous world leader dies. When was the last time anyone anywhere danced around in public because someone died? Its not done for anyone else but I guess Cuban refugees are allowed a free pass.

I recall that happened when Margaret Thatcher died. And let's get real here. The man was a dictator who censored the press, and executed dissidents. The level of decorum is different.

I remember celebrations in the UK when Thatcher died. We can debate whether it is in good taste or not to celebrate someone's death, but that does not excuse a democratically-elected leader of a so-called free country lionizing a brutal dictator. I think it is safe to say that the vast majority of Canadians did not consider Castro a "remarkable leader", and it damages the country's reputation abroad when its leader says such outrageous things.
