Max Fawcett who is generally unreadable on Canadian politics is quite good on NDP politics and wonders if the NDP is heading for oblivion. 1/ nationalobserver.com/2026/03/11/opi…
"Heading for oblivion" is the optimistic take. But for the party's provincial premierships the NDP has reached oblivion with no obvious way back. As Fawcett points out, if its sole Que MP quits it will have no MPs East of Manitoba. 2/
Avi Lewis is seen as the front runner in the federal leadership race and Fawcett does a pretty good job of dissecting why this is not going to help. Begin with Lewis' French, move to LEAP and the academic left. 3/
I have no time at all for the politics of the NDP but I have a soft spot for the party's place in Canadian culture, now forfeit to the genderwang Hamas enthusiasts. A soft spot which goes back to doing poli sci in university. 4/

Canada keeps making the Alberta Independence peoples' arguments for them. 1) Carney is constructing a majority he did not earn by luring weak MPs to cross the floor, 2) the CBC has a black list of conservatives not to put on air, 1/
3) Carney wants Canadians to believe that Telesat can string together satellites which will be better than the already operating Starlink network, 4) the Liberals are passing a suite of bills to curb free speech in Canada. 2/
The original arguments for Alberta Independence turned on the economic and political inequities faced by Alberta in the face of a centralist Ottawa. They remain valid. But the counter argument was always that voting the Ottawa gov't out was an option. 3/

@Travisdhanraj's testimony with respect to the CBC before a Commons Committee is important in itself and it confirms what a lot of us had always suspected about the built in bias of the mothercorp. 1/
Deliberately excluding Conservative voices is pretty obvious, slanting stories to reflect the priorities of the PMO is more subtle but there to see. And, bluntly, it is hardly surprising. 2/
It takes tremendous discipline and decency to run a truly independent public broadcaster. Qualities which have not lasted long at any of the entities modeled on Lord Reith's BBC. The CBC and Australia's ABC have both been compromised. 3/

We're having one last gust of winter, cold front moving through with the temp dropping close to zero and actual snow falling or in the forecast. Just as I get the Vespa on the road. 1/
Living on the Coast means that weather is never a sure thing, a bit of cold air creeps out of the North or the Interior and meets Pacific moisture: boom, snow. It's always a surprise but never beyond the range of possibility. 2/
I spent the weekend resolutely trying to avoid much engagement with political news. We'd found a fantastic double wall oven at an incredible price our boys picked it up and installed it. I was entirely redundant. 3/

Former BC Conservative Leader John Rustad, now that he is no longer running for the leadership, admitted that there have been no bodies found at the Kamloops Residential School. So far he has not apologized to Dallas Brodie. 1/
The school graves story has a special status in Canadian politics: it is foundational and if you want to remain a mainstream Canadian politician it forms part of the catechism of core tenets which cannot be questioned. 2/
It joins "safe and effective", "diversity is our strength", "trans women are women", and "Net zero is our only hope" as having special status which cannot be questioned if a person wants to retain their "mainstream" status. 3/

I like Friday afternoons. Work done for the week. Nice bottle of wine for dinner, boys going off to play magic. Tomorrow we're picking up a total steal of a double wall oven. Given that the current wall oven dates to the early 80s this is an upgrade. 1/
There is much pearl clutching about the Iran war and, no doubt, it is disruptive particularly if you are a European or Asian energy consumer. But the war itself seems to be going well. The Iranian drones and missiles need to be dealt with. 2/
Interesting article in the Telegraph about just how old most of the Iranian equipment actually is. Little wonder they leap frogged to drones. The rest of their gear is pre-2000. 3/ archive.is/20260306205004…

It will be interesting to see what the anti-American Boomer left in Canada does in the face of the Iranian diaspora's overwhelming support for Trump's attack on the Iranian regime. 1/
It will be especially hard for the elbozos because the Prime Minister of all the Canada's has publically supported the bad orange man's Iranian incursion. 2/
@acoyne is so discombobulated that he's been tweeting about Canadian issues along with assuring us that Trump has made a huge mistake, Trump will only make it worse, Trump can't win...retweeting US lefties who are sure if Trump is doing it it is wrong, illegal and a failure. 3/
