Evan Menzies- Yes, Canada, size matters: campaign crowds tell a story too many have been dismissing
To the chagrin of some in the media still used to the traditional model of coverage, a whole new ecosystem has evolved around these rallies with pre- and post-event coverage.

Canadian Conservatives, still punching themselves in the teeth to please people who will never vote for them.
This is the most despicable thing I’ve seen from John Rustad yet. And after the last two months, that’s saying a lot.
