The money should've come from domestic things, as always.

The parties aren't far apart on ID issues... or until recently, that much in practice generally.

So Justin accused Harper of stoking Islamophobia and explicitly compared his rhetoric to "none is too many."

Boulerice agrees with Couillard on niqabs in the public service. Mulcair agreed last year, wouldn't comment now but presumably his view hasn't changed. Boulerice does want public consultations on the issue, however.

There's Tory and Dipper dissent on niqabs. Cannot wait for this crap to stop.

Adam: MacKay the frontrunner? What are you smoking?

DC: Yeah. MacKay almost certainly isn't running and will probably leave politics once we're back in opposition.

These EKOS immigration numbers are extremely disturbing.

Leadership polls mean squat. And Charest isn't running for anything.

Tory MP Larry Miller said Muslim women who wear the niqab can "stay where the hell you came from."

Dunno why. MacKay's so passé and is hardly a constant newsmaker. Even Mr. Laurentia himself, Jeff Simpson, has said MacKay is not regarded as Harper's political or intellectual equal.

MacKay glamorous? Only glamorous celebrity in federal politics is Justin.

I don't disagree, just a bit surprised considering how long ago all that stuff was. I'm all for substantive charisma, but for the foreseeable future we're stuck with either/or.

Harper has extended Johnston's term another 2 years. Fantastic news.

Good riddance: Andrews and Pacetti will not be readmitted to caucus after the internal investigation found more complaints from other women. Pacetti will retire, Andrews get thumped as an Indie.

Redford resurfaced for a Globe interview. As clueless and arrogant as ever, nothing was her fault.

Premier approval ratings.

Danielle Smith got thumped in her PC nomination bid. Dramatic if unsurprising end to this season of Albertan House of Cards.

If Prentice really wanted her, he'd have appointed, but didn't. I wouldn't be surprised if as Levant noted on Twitter, Manning hires her.

To use the obvious QC parallel, Duplessis didn't go outta his way to keep Gouin and Hamel either. Unconditional surrender is just that.

For the YOLO Files: James Lunney quits the Tory caucus because he feels creationists are muzzled.

He's been in Parliament for 15 years, and it isn't like the national environment was much more creationist-friendly back then. So the whole thing seems mystifying.

At least 40 current and former senators being held to account for questionable expenses. Fife names 3 Grits and 1 Tory, only name I recognize is Joyal.

Yes to both questions. Though Harper had almost always led on PPM and economic management. We Quebecers know Justin far too well, it was an Ontarian fling.

Senate Speaker Pierre-Claude Nolin died last night. RIP. Harper will have to name a replacement.
