		<description><![CDATA[You may have heard of Alexandre Trudeau&#8217;s paean to his tyrant hero, Fidel Castro.
His telling of Fidel&#8217;s qualities and accomplishments is so impressive, there is only one man who can possibly compare: Chuck Norris.
So here they are head-to-head. Who&#8217;s the man?
Note: As far as we know, Alexandre Trudeau was not trying to write satire. All [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Colby Cosh has a column in today&#8217;s L.A. Times, in which he answers questions about the Conservative&#8217;s election win:
Is Canada still the progressive, socially liberal neighbor of Democratic dreams and Republican nightmares?
Can our mythic reputation as a cleaner, politer Europe survive incoming Prime Minister Stephen Harper&#8217;s Conservative regime?
Cosh&#8217;s answer?
In modern Canada, sexual mores are largely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prime Minister-Designate Stephen Harper&#8217;s first press conference was short and sweet. (h/t)
There was a refreshing brevity to Harper&#8217;s responses. He occasionally dodged, but he didn&#8217;t weave&#8230;
From start to finish, the entire media availability seemed to take up no more time than one of outgoing Prime Minister Paul Martin&#8217;s subordinate clauses. 
Of source, you&#8217;d be brief [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in a good mood. In fact, I can&#8217;t stop smiling.
Not everyone&#8217;s happy, however. John Ibbitson writes in today&#8217;s Globe about how Conservatives, rather than celebrating a close win, are seething at their shutout in Toronto.
The Conservatives are nursing their own resentments. They can&#8217;t believe that urban voters in Ontario refused to support them. They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, while I was watching the Liberal attack ads on the computer, my four-year-old son climbed up onto my lap. After a minute he slid off and walked away.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t like that &#8211; it&#8217;s too scary.&#8221;
Then yesterday he saw a Conservative TV ad, the one with this image:

&#8220;Daddy, who&#8217;s that?&#8221;
&#8220;That&#8217;s our Prime Minister.&#8221;
&#8220;Ohhh.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Early this morning, CBC.ca ran a story with this headline:
&#8220;Canadian soldier killed, 3 others injured in Afghanistan&#8221;
The story included this quote from Prime Minister Paul Martin:
&#8220;I would like to express my sincere condolences to the families of the dead soldier,&#8221; Martin said.
That story is no longer available.
Now both CBC.ca and CTV.ca are running stories that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am utterly gobsmacked. The Globe has endorsed Stephen Harper and the Conservatives, albeit grudgingly.
Their argument is defensive, as if being made to a hostile crowd, and in a telling break from their own tradition of titling their endorsement editorials for the favoured party (e.g. &#8220;For The Liberals&#8221;, &#8220;For The Conservatives&#8221;), today&#8217;s piece is headlined [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t seen this commented on elsewhere, but the Globe editorial board live-blogged Monday&#8217;s second English-language debate, and revealed how personal and sincere their feelings for Paul Martin really are.

	&#8226; Liberals openly discussing possibilty of defeat

So what story gets the most real estate on the front page, especially [...]]]></description>
