Guess what, Attack ads work.

NDP BC Leader Adrian Dix tried to take the high road in this week's BC provincial election.

And he crashed and burned. In one of the greatest upsets in BC and Canadian political history.

Adrian Dix was hoping to cruise...

The headquarters of The International Civil Aviation Organization ("ICAO") has been located in Montreal since 1946. Now, the upstart oil-rich kingdom of Qatar wants to lay down some really big buckaroos to move the ICAO head office and all its employees from Montreal to Qatar's very own foreign...

Perhaps I overestimated NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.

In a previous Huffington Post article, I believed that Horwath had the vision, courage and steel cojones to take the NDP to victory in the next Ontario provincial election.

I believed that Horwath had all the ammunition she needed to...

How the mighty have fallen! The Globe and Mail used to be Canada's national and international newspaper.
Its only competition was the Toronto Star. Now it is being attacked on its left, by the resurgent Toronto Star and NOW Magazine. On its right, by the National Post, the...

Two weeks ago, as a result of the horrific Boston Bombing, three people were killed, and over 200 innocent bystanders were seriously injured. Some of whom had their legs blown off. Others were so injured that they will have to undergo multiple surgeries.

In the wake of this tragedy,...

Recent Ipso Reid polls should be good news for Ontario Tory Leader Tim Hudak.

He and his party are up 9 per cent over Ontario Premier Wynne and the Ontario Liberals.

Hudak and the Tories are at 37% of decided Ontario voters; Horwath's NDP at 29%...

The last few days have been very difficult for most Canadians. The horrors of the Boston terrorist attack last week shocked us. The announcement that two Canadian residents have allegedly planned to blow up a VIA passenger train bound from Canada to the U.S., has stripped we Canadians...

Call off the search. The Root Causes have been found.

And you can thank the often maligned UN, ably represented by Richard Falk, an official with the United Nations Human Rights Council, for digging deep and coming up with these root causes for the recent Boston terrorist attack.

Newly-elected Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is in deep, deep, deep political doo doo. He is practically drowning in the brown goo. You could barely see his manly and wavy dark hair above the political crap that has engulfed him. And is threatening to capsize the good ship "Moonbeams and...

This is the partial transcript of the Monday interview between CBC's Peter Mansbridge and Justin Trudeau, the new Leader of the Federal Liberal Party. Read it and weep.

PETER MANSBRIDGE (HOST, CBC'S "MANSBRIDGE ONE ON ONE"):
(Ottawa -- Monday) Let me try to ask this...

Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party have not decided to throw Israel under the bus, yet. For now, the Trudeau Liberals would prefer Israel move from a front seat on the bus. And take a seat more in the middle of the bus.

For the last several weeks I...

There is no one secret sauce for success on Wall Street. Let us say that there are several secret sauces.

In the last 12 months, three young women of friends of mine have been accepted for jobs at prestigious Wall Street firms. Two in investment banking. One in a...

There were low expectations for the summit meeting between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the talks were a major diplomatic and personal success for both leaders.

President Obama used the occasion to reset his relationship with Israel and Bibi. He did four things particularly well....

Bob Rae never ceases to surprise.

In a recent speech in Saskatoon, reported in the Huffington Post, Bob Rae, unequivocally voiced his support and his Liberal Party's continued support for the Keystone XL pipeline.

Rae stated, "It's in our national interest to see that these resources...

Democratic House leader, Nancy Pelosi, recently tried to meet with Canadian New Democrat Party ("NDP") Leader Thomas Mulcair, in Washington, under the radar.

They failed miserably.

The politically sensitive Keystone pipeline issue was discussed in secret. Confidential agreements were signed. Fingers crossed. And hope to die.

Advisers...

In a few days President Barack Obama will be journeying to Israel to meet his counterpart Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin ("Bibi") Netanyahu. For once, Barack should abstain from concentrating on his own soaring oratory. Instead, he should quietly watch and learn from Bibi about how to craft a...

Now, the feminist writers from the very well-respected Toronto media, NOW Magazine and the online rabble.ca, did not openly come out and lay the blame for the latest Middle East public relations debacle at the feet of Israel. But I'll buy a free dinner at the vegan, slow food, locavore...

After watching "Jack," the biopic of Jack Layton broadcast on Sunday night on the CBC, I realize once again why CBC is such a mediocre television network. It should stick to what it does best: news, current events, Evan Solomon, Rick Mercer and broadcasting "Hockey Night in Canada."

Every...

In the last few weeks the American environmental anti-Keystone movement has been dealt several very bad hands.

Al Gore, former Vice President, self-acclaimed discoverer and developer of the internet and the Godfather of the climate change movement, embarrassed the movement, by selling his interests in Current TV to the...

The City of Toronto, like any major city, is facing major problems. There is poverty, unemployment and in certain rough sections of the city, murders and violence. There is serious gridlock. The transit system is over used and in need of repair. The city's overall infrastructure is decaying and is...
