Zach Paikin is running against Chris Charlton in Hamilton-West-Ancaster-Dundas next year.

That's what it said earlier IIRC. Either way he loses. Tongue

Are you sure Charlton is running in this riding? It doesn't say this in your link. Why would she run here when her current Hamilton Mountain riding has undergone only minor changes and is more NDP-leaning?

Beat me to it. That would be incredibly stupid if she runs there.

So, the Paikins are Liberal? Makes sense, I guess. I wish TVO would hire non partisan journalists...

Is there such a thing in political journalism? Tongue

Ipsos has 37L/29C/24N nationally.

Doubtful. Lead is too small and as always, highly inefficient vote. Meanwhile they're slipping in another key area: regional Quebec, and trail the NDP 32/27 among Francophones provincewide.

Ipsos is excellent, but I have trouble believing Alberta and Atlantic. Angus-Reid has 33L/28C/26N among EV, 32C/31L/28N among LV.

In other news, Hiebert will retire next year. Said he never intended to be a career pol. Might also be knowing he won't rise higher, and I wouldn't be surprised to see others do the same. Cabinet personnel won't change substantially for the next while barring Flaherty's retirement. Leadership pool is also well-established.

If Harper did that it would be called preplanned fakery.

Grits are moving tilting to port economically, gives us a bigger target.

Meanwhile Hudak has said RTW will not be in the Tory platform.

Kenney's made the key Jobs Grant concession demanded by the provinces.

Nanos has 34L/29C/23N nationally.

Forgot to mention it, but Friday was the 40th anniversary of Tim Horton's death. Sad

Trudeau thinks Russia might invade Ukraine because they lost in hockey. In case anyone doubted he's in way over his head... but also continuing in the family foreign affairs tradition.

Flaherty says he's undecided about running next year. Obviously he won't confirm one way or the other until just before the election... but a marked departure from his previous vehement insistence that he's running again. For all intents and purposes (since no one will ever remotely equal Fielding's 20 years) he'll be the longest-serving finance minister next year.

Trudeau has apologized to the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. In related news, his economic pitch is BS.

Conflicting reports on whether the premiers have accepted the Jobs Grant from CBC and Globe.

Tories are courting Cannon (too old IMO) and a bunch of PLQ/CAQ candidates for next year.

Under 40, but looking good for a poll not even halfway through this term. I'd love nothing more than to see them obliterated.

Jobs Grant has now been secured. On another note, I find it pathetic that the Laurentians who crapped all over Preston Manning when he was in politics are now selectively quoting him against Poilievre.

When have I ever said Manning is disloyal for expressing his views?

Toews gets his judgeship.

Unfortunately, Harper and Poilievre will wave Chong's bill through.

Speaking of Alberta... Redford's starting to be on borrowed time. That outfit is just as trigger-happy as the PQ. Ironic considering expense abuse is probably their mildest form of corruption.

I can only imagine the reaction if Toews were appointed to the Supreme Court.

In case anyone doubted "open" LPC nominations are a joke.

Alberta PC executive meets tomorrow, no one really knows what they'll do next. My guess is nothing, for now.

The Tories would be wise to dump Redford. I can't see them winning with her as leader.

I hope she stays. A Wildrose earthquake would be the sweetest provincial victory of all for me.

Who'd ever think treating your caucus like crap could end badly?

They've put her on undisclosed probation.
