Prime Minister Stephen Harper created this political mess through his arrogance, and it may well be that his government deserves to fall. However, the opposition's backroom manoeuvring is an insult to democracy. ...
Coalitions: Democracy in action
Who says Canadian politics is boring! What we are seeing is democracy in action. The majority of parliamentarians elected by Canadians have taken a decision to co-operate for the good of the country. That is a decision that should be applauded by every Canadian.
Readers moved to flights of literary fancy
The white smoke has emanated from the chimneys of Parliament. Led by the camerlengo, Cardinal Layton, and supported by the eminence grise , Cardinal Duceppe, the consistory of cardinals has thrust the burden of leadership on to humble Cardinal Dion.

Harper rolled dice and lost
Last week's actions by the Prime Minister should remind us that his election sweater was truly meant to pull the wool over our eyes. Enter Harper's soulmate, and the mean-spirited warrior Guy Giorno from the Harris horde, egging on Mr. Harper to new heights of partisan politics at a time of crisis.
