Calgary Centre returns look good for Joan Crockatt. Update: Liberal candidate Harvey Locke has conceded.
Oda’s Durham seat retained.
Victoria? The time may have come to throw the big green breaker, and let the left coast granola crunchers mold in the dank.
Heh.
We’ve been so focused on the Calgary Centre by-election that we lost all track of that Wildrose Party coup d’état.

African famine victims aren’t the only ones who can benefit from the proceeds of a star-studded charity single. Take the Norwegians, for example…

How to piss off a frog.
“Muhammad al-Shafi’i Abu Nassat named his son, who was born Friday, after the Fajr missile. Naming his baby Fajr, Abu Nassat told Gaza media, was his way of expressing his gratitude to Iran, which was responsible for supplying Gaza with rockets that, according to Abu Nassat ‘struck the enemy for eight days.'”
So let’s get this straight. According to the folks at Gawker, pedophilia may well be just another sexual orientation that should not be illegal.
Now college kids owning guns are really dangerous wackos society needs to climb all over.

Mayor Rob Ford has been punted from office, just days short of celebrating his second anniversary of being sworn in.
Judge Charles Hackland’s eagerly awaited decision in a conflict of interest case was handed down at 10 a.m. Monday at a downtown courthouse.
About right – “T.O.’s left doing via the courts what they couldn’t do at the ballot box.”

The things that make you go hmmm….
So here’s what concerns me: how was Maher able to contact these individual donors – indeed voters – when the only information Elections Canada publicly provides is the postal code?
Update: Excellent points in the comments – if you insist on holding the questioner to a higher standard than the reporter.
[Principia Scientific International] are adamant that they have compellingly debunked what a generation of government climatologists incorrectly assumed ie that the flow of radiation in the Earth atmosphere is indicative of the flow of heat. PSI scientists confirm that the issue was never really about whether radiation moves freely about in the atmosphere (it does), the big question should have been whether once it has arrived at the surface: does it get more than one go at generating heat(ie” back radiation” heating)? Postma and his PSI colleagues say “no” because no such phenomenon as “back radiation heating” is cited in any thermodynamics textbooks nor has any such effect been measured empirically. Also all “back radiation” graphics have been removed from Nasa publications.

Justin Trudeau’s anti-Alberta remarks aren’t going over well in Quebec either
Yves Boisvert of Montreal’s La Presse said Quebecers would be outraged if another high-profile politician made similar statements about their own province.
“We can easily imagine the howls we’d make if a contender for the leadership of a federal party spoke in such generalizing terms about Quebecers,” Boisvert said in a column on the newspaper’s website.
Boisvert suggested that Trudeau supporters should “start to ask serious questions about the quality of his political judgment, and his judgment in general.”
A writer for the magazine L’Actualite, meanwhile, said the comments could hurt Trudeau for a long time to come as he tries to make inroads in Western Canada.
“In one fell swoop, this particular interview revives doubts shared by many in Western Canada about the federal Liberals,” Manon Cornellier said in a blog post.

2012 could break record for fewest tornadoes;
Tornado season got off to a record start this year, with more twisters by mid-April than ever seen for that period since records began in 1950. After May, though, the number of tornadoes dropped off to a historic low. So far this year the United States has had only 888 tornadoes; last year, there were 1,691, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
I blame the collapse of the US economy. In other words, Obama delivers!
The Beards are an Australian group whose repertoire consists entirely of songs – e.g., “Got Me A Beard”, “No Beard, No Good”, “Beard Revolution”, “Shaved Off His Beard”, “Who Told You To Shave Off Your Beard?” and “Beards Don’t Kill People, People With Beards Kill People” – about beards.
Tonight they condemn the beardless in the strongest possible terms with the musical advisory If Your Dad Doesn’t Have a Beard, You’ve Got Two Mums.
