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.

I don't believe any spouses of the PM have had to juggle as much as she has since, well, the elder Trudeau.

Mila Mulroney did a lot, as did Aline Chrétien. Margaret Trudeau wasn't a huge fan of officialdom, to put it mildly. Mulroney and Chrétien were deeply involved in politics - their husbands' closest advisors - and behind the scenes, played a policy role too.

Before his defeat, Harper had been hatching a provincial wing of the federal party. Plan isn't quite dead, since the federal party is giving Wildrose and the Progs 2 years to find a solution. If not, they'll move in.

They haven't mentioned anything specific, but IRV is their likeliest option, reading between the lines.

Brosseau no. The rest yes. Bouncer's instinct I guess. Context is impending guillotine on euthanasia & other bills.

Wildrose attacks Wynne's policies to her face when she was Notley's gallery guest this week. Lead attacker suspended from caucus for another reason.

Whoa: Tootoo is leaving Cabinet and the Grit caucus to seek addiction treatment. Best of luck to him. 3rd in recent years after Saganash and O'Regan.

Stepping down from cabinet I understand - but leaving the caucus, to sit as an independent, for addiction treatment? That seems weird. I would not be surprised at all if there turns out to be more to this than has been announced.

Rampant journo speculation on Twitter about that, but nothing yet.

Globe says Trudeau told caucus that there was nothing in particular. There have been embarrassing drunk performances, most infamously the late Ralph Klein. In the Diefenbaker era, there was a minister who was literally piss-drunk at the Montreal airport, and pissed in a potted plant - insisting on pulling down his pants in front of a media gaggle. More recently, Elizabeth May's performance at last year's Press Gallery dinner.
