Our Madman
Paul Krugman has an essential read this morning. It is entitled Madmen in Authority and it lays out why a policy of austerity during a time of high unemployment is, not to put too fine a point on it, crazy. Our own madman, Stephen Harper is one of the leading figures in the "inflict needless pain now" movement and it is a fair question to ask why no one in our media has thought to ask why he thinks making unemployed people suffer is a hot idea?

C-391
NDP take note, whining that "Those bad old Liberals are making us do bad things!" only moves me to laugh and or retch. The party could use this opportunity as a springboard to making the changes to the registry it says it wants. It could even use it as leverage in any talks about coalition. Instead, it is using the extremely small fig leaf of Liberal intransigence over the current bill, to cover moral cowardice on the part of the leadership of the NDP. Such acts of cowardice will not win the NDP the gun lover vote, but it will absolutely guarantee that people like me park their vote somewhere else, until the party regains its bearings.

Lean To The Left, Lean To The Right
Stand up, sit down, fight, fight, fight! That is the Liberal Party these days, one big chant. Iggy wants to continue his undeclared coalition with the Conservatives. Red Liberals want to move toward unity with the NDP. The 42 year old civil war in the Liberal Party of Canada (between the Trudeauites and the Wintersites), may, finally, be reaching its climax.

SS To Get Medal Of Honor From Likud
Sergeant S. (SS) is up for the award for killing six sleepy peace activists on a boat bringing food to Gaza. You can't make this stuff up.

Coalition Panic
Seems to be everywhere. Scott Reid is afraid it means "merger", which is understandable, since the media use the two terms interchangeably. I think he should stop worrying. Merger is not in the cards. It just won't happen. However, working together to form a government after an election is something that just might happen and it might as well be discussed openly.

Ready, Aye Ready
I am reading more and more stuff like this:
NDP defence critic Jack Harris said a post-2011 role for Canada is in the works, but suggested a military presence was not the only option on the table.It is becoming increasingly obvious that as the NDP jettisons one principle after another, that it is getting ready to govern. A coalition with the Liberals? Hell they will be the Liberals in another year, so what's the point? Recommend this Post
“All Canadians do not want to see the sacrifice that has been made be for naught and we do have obviously a considerable amount of humanitarian concerns and institution-building concerns about Afghanistan,” Mr. Harris said.
“Whether that involves military or not is another question indeed. There are lots of other ways that we can help build institutions.”
