Breaking news – Braid wins!

This just in from Newstalk 570: Conservative Peter Braid has won the official recount over Andrew Telegdi by 17 votes! This process has been going on since Wednesday.

Every ballot was recounted.

The RecordRecount confirms Braid as winner…

Congratulations, Peter Braid! And thank you Justice Donald Gordon for a job well done.

Congrats too, to Aaron. I’m sure he’ll have lots to tell us.

Saturday Update: H/T to Gabby in the previous post for this link to David Akin’s blog, which includes official Elections Canada information.  David also has a link to Pundits’ Guide – Well worth checking out.

Record - It’s Braid by a Hair in Recount. (Very clever. Wish I had thought of that one.) This link is also posted in the next post.

Toronto Star stuck on stupid

Who writes these editorials for the Toronto Star? Ministers need monitoring. Is someone there trying to write talking points for Ralph Goodale on Mike Duffy Live?

Again we see the words "neo-conservative" and "Mike Harris" pop up. The election’s over folks. Time to get with the program.

Not even one positive comment about the new Federal Cabinet?  Not one??? Your cousin, The Waterloo Region Record is practically throwing a party over here.

How about all those women in Cabinet? Isn’t that a good thing?

The Star schlock ends with the following:

This just proves that loyalty (to the Prime Minister) trumps competence in cabinet making.

I think you could make a similar comparison to the quality of Star journalism and its subscribers.
