  1. This tendency — to announce policy first, then figure out the consequences later; to prefer show to substance — is by now established as this government’s modus operandi. - Andrew Coyne

      A slight delay in completing a promise is not a broken promise. You'll have to do much better than that to get any traction I'm afraid.

      What broken promises Shady?

  2. Thomas Mulcair's self righteous promise to not go negative in ads broken just two weeks later.

      It's a lie, actually. Suggesting this government is corrupt is blatantly dishonest. There have been a few minor individual acts of rule breaking, but this government has been remarkably free of corruption compared to its predecessors.

      It's a lie to list off all the people charged or under criminal investigation? No, those are called facts.

      It can be a pain when those durn chickens come home to roost I guess.

  3. Those who repeatedly condemn Israel for actions they ignore on the part of all other nations do so out of antisemitism, pure and simple.

      I said "repeatedly". I certainly accept Israel is imperfect, and does some dumb things. But if you're singling it out, it's because they're Jews.

  4. Today is the day all those people who pay no taxes get to decide how our taxes should be spent...

  6. Toronto police to begin unique experiment with bodycams. Police wearing the cameras may turn them off any time they feel like it.

      Sure, another is those cops who turn off the camera frequently would be open to review as to why so frequently. No promotions, no OT in risky situations, or many other options to curtail their career. Surely you're not so dim witted to have nothing to add, Guardster?

    4. On Guard for Thee

      On Guard for Thee

      You are handling that part quite well all by yourself.

      But ya know you wouldnt have to turn the camera off that often. Just when you were about to shoot an unarmed guy running away from you.

  7. Trangendered the new fashion frenzy among progressives. Liberals desperate to jump onto bandwagon and start issuing orders on their behalf.

  8. Trials delayed, thousands of criminals could be set free as Liberals delay appointing judges while desperately searching for at least slightly qualified black lesbian muslims to appoint to the bench

  9. tried to download an app on my phone to track stocks today. Virtually every one wanted access to my photos and media files, my identity, purchase history, and even contacts. And people are agreeing to this!?

      Apparently progressives have no issue with threatening reporters as long as the threat comes from a progressive government.

      Good advice for Conservatives in that article. Constantly harping on JT's pics or lack of shirt comes across as petty. Use real stuff, like people using limos when taxis will do, stuff like that. :)

      You know it's not good when they would prefer you focused on a $1700 limo ride. Children following children.

  10. Trudeau booed by crowd -- for speaking English in Quebec city. Don't worry, they cheered him again - once he reverted to French.

  11. Trudeau is in China crawling before China's sniggering political elites and begging for favours. I wonder how many more tricks he will do as he desperately looks for their approval.

  12. Trudeau Liberals spend $9 in March, highest in 11 years, just so they can claim there was a deficit last year.

      And yet this year's splurge was the largest in 11 years, just large enough for the Liberals to claim there was a deficit last year.

    3. waldo

      waldo

      yes - you're echoing just what Joe Oliver said in his article! Does it really matter if there was a minimal surplus... or a minimal deficit? One can say the exact same thing to you about the creative handiwork done by Harper Conservatives to (supposedly) arrive at that minimal projected surplus announcement... timed coincidentally to be announced right in the peak of the election campaign! Just coincidence, right?

    4. scribblet

      scribblet

      As Oliver said correctly: Liberals inherited surplus. If tenants moved into an immaculate house in October & trashed it in March it was their fault not previous tenants.

  14. Trudeau replaces skilled diplmat with party bagman as ambassador to UN, appoints another as ambassador to US. Gee, where's that respect for the public service he talked about?

      what diplomatic experience did Gary Doer have when your boy Harper appointed him?

    3. overthere

      overthere

      Yeah and Gary Doer was a partisan appointment too, he was a lifetime NDP man.

      Oh wait.

      Look, McNaughton has servedf Liberals loyally for decades and needed a job.

      Looks like Justin's not much of a change from Harper. He's also very controlling of his MPs and ministers.

  15. Trudeau to restore Old age security age to 65. "So what if we go bankrupt! I'll be gone by then!" he said cheerily as he danced through the tulips plucking his ukelele

      smallc so bad policy is OK so long as it was promised? What a partisan hack.

  16. Trudeau to revamp Liberal party constitution. “There’s a power grab going on within the Liberal Party of Canada,” said one senior Liberal. “Power is being concentrated into a small group around the leader, as opposed to members.” Say it ain't so!

  17. Trudeau wants to make it the law for all those who don't follow politics, don't know anything about what's going on, and don't care, to vote. Why? Because they're the most likely people to vote Liberal.

      Harper likes his uninformed voters, but then they read C51.

      Mandatory voting is a bad idea.

    4. Mighty AC

      C-51 is a bad idea. Gutting environmental protections, science research and reporting is a bad idea. Suing our vets to deny them pension benefits is a bad idea. Raiding emergency funds, selling assets at a loss and not spending budgeted money on vets and first nations to fake a balanced budget is a bad idea.

  18. Trudeau wants to strengthen bilingualism laws and require all senior government people, including appointees like Supreme Court justices, to be fluently bilingual.

  19. Trudeau's upcoming African mission could be MORE dangerous for Canadian troops than Afghanistan was. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/matthew-fisher-why-an-african-mission-could-be-more-dangerous-than-afghanistan

      The reason we are presently shopping for an African war are reality.

      And it will be more dangerous than Afghanistan. The logistics are very difficult in Mali, and there is little support available from our allies. Disclosure: I have been to both countries.

  20. Turkey joins rest of Muslim world in elminating all free press. I guess free speech and a free press are among those things not compatible with Islam

      Turkey was ushered into NATO to provide a platform + bases re: MRBMs aimed the the USSR during the Cold War.

  23. Two people of Syrian origin have been arrested in Geneva on suspicion of making, concealing and transporting explosives and toxic gas, the Swiss attorney general says http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35083819
