What an utter farce this election has been. The format for what should’ve been the “Big” debate was a mess. The format blew chunks. Canadians needed and some actually wanted to hear from the candidates, but the Consortium of media outlets that put this together seemed more focused on gender politics than Canadian politics. If… Continue reading Election Leadership Debate 2019 : Canada Loses. By Jamie Gilcig #cdnpoli

Digesting the Ontario Leadership Election Debate by Jamie Gilcig 053118
Cornwall Ontario – This has been a mystifying election. Leadership issues with the PC’s, the demise of a Premier and her party, and Andrea Horwath digging her heels in and not doing the right thing, as Doug Ford did, and jettisoning candidates that clearly should not be in elected office. And yes, Hitler memes qualify… Continue reading Digesting the Ontario Leadership Election Debate by Jamie Gilcig 053118
View From the Hill by Keith Beardsley – O’Leary Wimping Out on Debate FEB 28, 2017
OTTAWA ONTARIO – I see where Kevin O’Leary has decided he is more important than the CPC leadership debates as he has passed up the next debate and decided not to attend it. According to one media report I saw; he will instead hold a competing “fireside chat”. The real question is why? When you… Continue reading View From the Hill by Keith Beardsley – O’Leary Wimping Out on Debate FEB 28, 2017
Clinton Trump Debate Shows Deplorable State of US Politics by Jamie Gilcig SEPT 27, 2016
Cornwall Ontario – I watched the debate between US Presidential candidates Hilary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump. It was not the reality show gore fest that many were expecting. It wasn’t very entertaining or informative. I don’t think it ultimately will change the voter turn out or results. It did highlight a… Continue reading Clinton Trump Debate Shows Deplorable State of US Politics by Jamie Gilcig SEPT 27, 2016
Harper Wins G&M Leader Debate by Default – Mulcair for Best Tie! by Jamie Gilcig
I have to admit I wanted to hear the three leaders of the parties with an actual chance to lead our government debate. Elizabeth May would probably have kicked butt, but it’s important for voters to get as good a chance as they can to see the three contenders in action, especially with the… Continue reading Harper Wins G&M Leader Debate by Default – Mulcair for Best Tie! by Jamie Gilcig
I Think You’re A Lying Piece of Shit – It’s Not Just Harper Politics by Jamie Gilcig AUG 18, 2015
While this disturbing, but hotly awesome piece of video is going viral it shows a few things about politics in Canada in 2015. One that the Harperites are extremely unhappy with the Mike Duffy saga; not so much for what Duffy did, but for how it’s played out. Does any reasonable Canadian really believe… Continue reading I Think You’re A Lying Piece of Shit – It’s Not Just Harper Politics by Jamie Gilcig AUG 18, 2015
View From the Hill by Keith Beardsley – Debate About Debate During BBQ Season MAY 22, 2015
Not the most exciting week in Canadian politics. You know that as soon as you see how much space was taken up in the news over who would attend what leader’s debate. It was interesting to know that Justin Trudeau is already practicing for the October leadership debates. Now what does that say about the… Continue reading View From the Hill by Keith Beardsley – Debate About Debate During BBQ Season MAY 22, 2015
Three CPS Officers Await After I ask Question at Chamber All Candidates Debate in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig
CORNWALL Ontario – I was prepared for just about anything tonight. It’s been a crazy Ontario election here in SD&G. Public interest has been at a minimum. This election’s Chamber of Commerce debate had about 100 less than last elections and most of the crowd was very very partisan with the NDP grabbing the centre… Continue reading Three CPS Officers Await After I ask Question at Chamber All Candidates Debate in Cornwall Ontario by Jamie Gilcig
