  • Hopes Are High At #pcagm12

    It’s early but the major themes that are emerging from this year’s Ontario PC AGM are those of change and moving forward.  This weekends convention in Niagara Falls could see the Ontario PCs bury the bitter feelings of the past and simultaneously lay the foundation for the future. In a bit of a pre convention primer; here are a couple of interviews of Tim Hudak and Ken Zeise .  Although both articles are interesting current President  Ken Zeise comes away with the best quote.

    “If I was to describe the party in one word, it is determined. We are determined we don’t make the same mistakes as we did in 2011 and that we will win the next election.”

    Although I’m not personally going to attend the convention I will post a couple more updates throughout the weekend.

  • Andrew Breitbart At CPAC

    In this segment on byline last night Blogging mogulAndrew Breitbart talks about his new documentary that aims to unmask the occupy movement. Furthermore, Breitbart has always been a favourite of mine because he passionately goes after the mainstream media; as well as understanding that  culture is almost as important as fiscal policy.

  • Sun News Answers its Critics

    Sun News is finally counter punching against one of its critics the Globe and Mail’s  John Doyle.

    As I recall, BC blue was the first Blogging Tory to point out Mr. Doyle’s proclivity to nonsensically criticize those that he disagreed with.

    Moreover, Sun news is a challenge to the monolithic media culture that has developed in Canada. When consumers in the marketplace of ideas only have a choice between left, center left, and perhaps, center that is bad for public discourse in any country.
