| New information released by a group challenging last year's federal election results in seven ridings shows almost no changes in polling station locations, eliminating one explanation offered by Conservatives for calls that gave voters the wrong information. BLOG POSTS | Colin Singer: Canada's Greatest Immigration Sham -- Happening Now Forcing applicants to wait close to 10 years and then implementing retroactive legislation refusing the pending backlog of applicants is the greatest sham in the history of Canadian immigration policy. Close to 300,000 applicants who were all promised that their credentials would be evaluated under previous criteria will now be refused | | Elizabeth May: Keep Fish (and Other Environment Issues) Federal In the recent announcement about changes to the environmental assessment process, the Conservatives have dropped any pretense they care about Canada's natural environment, and have reduced the federal government's oversight role to miniscule proportions. | | Will Goldbloom: Who Wants Ford at Pride Anyway? For a second year in a row, Ford is not attending Toronto Pride. So what? If he did, it certainly would not make up for his quips about the HIV community. It would definitely not encourage anti-Fordists to change their minds for the next election.

The Conservatives have just put the final nail in the coffin. | | MOST POPULAR ON HUFFINGTONPOST.CA |
