The gloves are off, I guess. In this latest fancy ad from the Ron Paul campaign, Ron Paul is associated with Ronald Reagan (they were on good terms, with Reagan endorsing Paul’s run for Congress). Meanwhile, former Texas governor Rick Perry is associated with Al Gore, who wanted to “undo” the gains the U.S. got [...]

“Fox don’t do French”
Posted by Terrence Watson on February 5, 2011 3 comments
During a joint press conference with President Barack Obama yesterday, the Prime Minister was (I think) asked a question in French. As is custom, Stephen Harper gave his answer in the same language. Or maybe the French reporter specifically asked for a French reply. Apparently, Harper speaking French kind of freaked out Fox News’ presenter [...]
Corporate taxes versus new spending: the wrong debate
Posted by Hugh MacIntyre on January 27, 2011 2 comments
As the Conservatives launch a new advert attacking the Liberal Party for their position on corporate taxes, it seems clear that this is the IT issue of this political season. I have to wonder though, is this really the debate that we should be in right now? Cutting taxes versus new spending is the kind [...]

A typical conversation with a Tory die hard
Posted by Hugh MacIntyre on December 18, 2010 1 comment
The resilience of Stephen Harper’s hardcore supporters is truly something to behold. Even though he has violated every conservative principle he once held, many Conservative party members still defend him as “Canada’s most conservative Prime Minister.” They insist that his massive increase in the size of government, deficits, anti-property rights, anti-trade, and anti-free market behaviour [...]

Maxime Bernier versus the Federal Reserve
Posted by Hugh MacIntyre on December 10, 2010 Comments Off
Former Minister of Industry Maxime Bernier has released a video where he talks about the danger of QE2. He correctly identifies the Federal Reserve’s policies as a fundamental cause of the economic crisis, and he warns that the Fed’s current policy will only make things worse: ShareFacebookStumbleUponDiggRedditEmail

Rand Paul: “Your personal agenda is getting in the way of your being a good broadcaster”
Posted by Peter Jaworski on November 10, 2010 2 comments
After watching the video, do you get the same impression that I do? I get the sense that, in spite of my personal dislike for Eliot Spitzer, and my personal more-or-less like of Rand Paul, I thought Spitzer did a fine job as a tough interviewer who asked all the right questions. It’s strange that [...]
Is Obama a Keynesian, or was he born in Hawai’i?
Posted by Peter Jaworski on November 1, 2010 2 comments
Reason tv may have skewered the partisans, but The Partisans from Second City skewered the economic literacy of Rally for Sanity/Fear attendees this past weekend with a really clever bit. Apparently, you can’t be a Keynesian if you’re born in Hawai’i… Who knew? Check it out: (h/t Stephen Taylor) And, just in case you still [...]

Steamroller democracy: “You do not have the chair”

There are a lot of “fucks” in the video, so if you’re easily offended by the f-word, then don’t watch the video. If you’re offended by gay people, then visit a different website. Otherwise, [...]

Chris Wallace pulls a Jeremy Paxman

Fox News’ Chris Wallace had an infuriating interview with Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina. She is a real treat, this one. Wallace was trying to get her to offer a single specific cut she would make to government. Now you guess whether or not she gave an answer to that question. Here’s Wallace asking Fiorina [...]
