Mayor Ford will survive the crack scandal
The most recent scandal to touch Toronto's mayor, Rob Ford, involves allegations he smokes crack cocaine. Now, the allegations come second hand in the Toronto Star, and while the Star is a very legitimate newspaper it is also famously feuding with Mayor Ford. Some Toronto Star reporters saw a video tape and based on what they saw concluded Mayor Ford was smoking crack. Maybe they misunderstood, were intentionally misled or were just mistaken in what they saw.
It is possible the ...

It is presumed that Parliament intends crimes to have a subjective fault element

On phone polling vs internet panels
An interesting article from the CBC talking with the BC Liberals internal pollster, who predicted a Liberal Majority with 48 seats, and was off by only 2 (and by 2 more – they eneded up with 50, pending any recounts).
Why was his polling better then every other public domain pollster? He says it’s because he used traditional phone polling, not these internet panels:
Pantazopoulos says where his findings differ from the other pollsters is that he relies entirely on tr...

UPDATED: Why is Duffy Still a Conservative Senator?
Poor Mike Duffy. The former CTV broadcaster known for his jovial presence has had a real hard time managing his profile ever since he joined Harper’s Conservative Senate. The star fundraiser known for exactly nothing outside of being loud and kind of annoying on TV – I like to consider him the Kim Kardashian of Conservative politics – has had the reputation of a blowhard for a long time, including royally pissing off Stéphane Dion at one point for his Fox News-esque “...
