Punjabi Poutine — Jagmeet Singh thank you for changing my world

Punjabi Poutine
In October 2019, in a master stroke of campaigning genius the federal NDP let Jagmeet Singh out of the cloister of earnest policy pronouncements and righteous indignation with Punjabi Poutine. A short video about how to make a brilliant fusion of South Asian and Québecois cuisine. It's been a staple at my house ever since.

The Ontario NDP must have some pretty compelling and unusual polling data that they're not sharing with the rest of the world. And why would they? It's so compelling and so credible that it's led them to bring down the Liberal government and force an election despite the fact that everyone else's numbers show them running third against two parties people like better, one of which makes Mike Harris look like Jimmy Carter.

Mulcair tells Flaherty to leave the free market alone

Jim Flaherty got all displeased today about Manulife Financial's plan to reduce its five year mortgage rate to 2.99%. I know. I'm falling asleep just typing it. Manulife got all contrite and repentant and declared that it would leave its rate where it was. I find if you pinch the palm of your hand, or maybe jab your wrist with the point of a pen it helps.

I've got friends and acquaintances in pretty much everyone's campaign these days.
