Tonight New Brunswick will vote while in 50 days it is US election. Below are my thoughts on both. First I will start with New Brunswick election and then onto US election. For New Brunswick, Higgs called an early one in order to try to win a majority. I believe with pandemic despite New Brunswick… Continue reading 50 days to US election and New Brunswick Election

Cambie case decision
Yesterday, BC court ruled on the Cambie surgery clinic. For full disclosure I went there for my shoulder surgery back in early 2018 and yes I am enrolled in MSP and yes I paid for it. So essentially the surgery I got then may no longer be allowed in future. My view on ruling is… Continue reading Cambie case decision
60 days until US election and Erin O’Toole’s first week
Erin O'Toole has had his first week on the job and so far has done reasonably well. Definitely a huge step up from Scheer and also more moderate than Harper and Scheer. While I would prefer party return fully to its PC roots, at least O'Toole is not a Reformer like Harper and Scheer and… Continue reading 60 days until US election and Erin O’Toole’s first week
Erin O’Toole next Tory leader, Chrystia Freeland next Finance minister
Normally every ten days, I will give an update on state of US election. However with little polling and few shifts, the answer is not much has happened here. Only change I would make is I would give Trump North Carolina instead of Biden, but its always been close all along so really unless a… Continue reading Erin O’Toole next Tory leader, Chrystia Freeland next Finance minister
Biden’s VP Pick – Kamala Harris
It's now official, Kamala Harris will be Biden's running mate and a fairly good chance she becomes next vice-president. If she does become vice-president, she will be the first woman to ever occupy this position. On balance I think this was a good choice and while initially I was skeptical of her, I had been… Continue reading Biden’s VP Pick – Kamala Harris
90 Days until US election
I plan to every ten days until US election do an update on state of race. On the presidential front, not much has happened and state of race is more or less the same as 10 days ago. As such this will focus more on senate since if Biden wins White House but Democrats don't… Continue reading 90 Days until US election

Is Trump Toast?
Based on recent polls and all the problems in the US, many have come to the conclusion Trump is finished. There is no question that if an election were held today, Trump would lose. He is trailing in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona and Florida, tied in North Carolina and Ohio, while barely ahead in Texas,… Continue reading Is Trump Toast?
My choice for next Conservative leader: Peter MacKay
After giving it a lot of thought, I have decided that I will be endorsing Peter MacKay as the next Conservative leader and hopefully next prime-minister although admit latter is going to be a steep hill to climb. But if any of the Tory leaders can beat Trudeau, it is Peter MacKay. Below I will… Continue reading My choice for next Conservative leader: Peter MacKay
Erin O’Toole releases Platform
Today Erin O'Toole has released his full platform https://erinotoole.ca/platform/. Just waiting for Peter MacKay to release his at which point I plan to give my endorsement for next Conservative leader and hopefully next prime-minister. Liked a lot of the ideas, but felt the tone was a little too nasty. Yes Liberals and progressives have a… Continue reading Erin O’Toole releases Platform
