Strange, the NDP might end up having fewer seats at the end of this election compared to what they had at the end of the previous election, yet what they are experiencing is still a surge. I guess it's a function of a very low baseline.

The problem with changing the electoral system to ranked balloting is that the change would have been held up in the courts for years. Just look at what happened to senate reform.

The thing is speaking out against bill 21 wasn't a completely bad strategy. There's a lot of new Canadians in the Toronto and Vancouver area that care about how they are treated once they come to Canada and Trudeau's opposition to bill 21 probably made them feel better about voting for the...

Thanks. Hopefully we can have many more sens fans around here.

Reading the threads about the move downtown and the "Murray Myth" highlights how much the collective regard for Melynk had gone down hill in the last 3 to 4 years. At this point I think we are at the beginning of a decade similar to what Edmonton and Buffalo have each just experienced. I've...

So this week we find out some more details about the LeBreton Flats development. I've never been one that felt that a move downtown was necessary. The current location serves the West End and anyone who lives close to the 416 quite well. I do think LeBreton would serve the people who are from...

I get that there's other places to talk about this, but I think Ottawa hosting the Eastern Division Championship for the first time since 1978 as well as their first home playoff game since 1983 deserves a spot here. I have never been to a live CFL game in Ottawa or anywhere but watching the...

I felt the need to have one in light of his 2 game suspension that he received today and to contrast the Bobby Ryan thread. The guy has been on fire since early February in spite of being a complete after thought when he broke into the league in a playoff game against the Rangers in 2012. He...

Last spring I had him pegged as hiding an injury, but it is hard to make that case now that the summer has passed and he is off to a slow start. He only has one goal this year which was an empty netter. Tonight he has 8 shots in over 15 minutes of ice time and he looks snake bit every time the...

We currently have these players in our organization: Hoffman - Zibanejad - Ryan MacArthur - Turris - Stone Condra - Pageau - Lazar Michalek - Legwand - Chiasson ------------- Greening Smith Neil Puempel - Prince Karlsson - Method Wiercioch - Ceci Boro - Gryba ----------- Cowen Philips...

So is too early to sort out whether the Sens try to re-sign Andrew Hammond or do we chalk the Senators surge up to the play in front of him? Although Hammond has an awesome record in the last 20 games, it is a small sample size and I think re-signing him would force the Sens to trade Lehner or...
