You'd Think An Election Campaign Was Underway

With Harper roaming about Quebec, and Dion similarly roaming the province looking for support.

Harper is, as one would expect, making election style giveaways, and trying to snipe at the Liberals at the same time.

But more interesting was some of the other bits that came bubbling out today:

The Fraser Institute is arguing that we desperately need commercial competition in our medical system. This is a classic conservative talking point, and one that I believe is based on very flawed reasoning.

Right-wingnut Michael Coren is calling Canadians "hypocrits" on foreign affairs. (Not that Coren is exactly representative of anybody but himself, but the sniping is amusing)

And, of course, we can't ignore Dion's appointment of Ignatieff as Deputy Leader.
