Election day! Come on Canada! Remember the old rule: if you don’t vote, you can’t complain. If there’s one thing we love to do it’s bitching about politics for the next four years. Or two. Or less. We decide today!

The French Language debate for the Canadian federal election that is scheduled for Wednesday has been moved up two hours so the Quebecois can watch a hockey game. Now that is an example of being Canadian.

At what point does Global Affairs Canada issue a travel warning to Canadians heading to the US? Because I think we're thoroughly at the point at which this is necessary.

Just received a Canada First flyer from my local MP even though the election has not been called. Officially, at least. The only reply I have is “Sorry, not sorry.”

I’m looking forward to tonight’s English language debate for the Liberal leadership. I just hope the contenders do something they didn’t do during last night’s French debate: answer all the questions. This is not just about the leadership, it’s about how I vote in the election that comes next.

So we started with the coldest February in 50 years, then a 40 degree shift higher, and now we can’t play hockey on the ice. Fine. Get some road apples and we’ll play street hockey. #yyc #hockey
