The Con Circus and the Return of Stephen Harper

As you probably know, the Con leadership race is slowly warming up, and the orthopaedic surgeon Kellie Leitch has become the first to throw her cap, or a leg, into the ring  

Former cabinet minister Kellie Leitch has become the first official candidate to replace Stephen Harper as Conservative leader, sounding the starting gun on a race that will stretch over 13 months.

And with her record of political barbarism, and the hapless Maxime Bernier due to follow her, the mood at Con headquarters is growing increasingly grim.

With some Con operatives apparently contemplating desperate measures.

Why It's Time to Chase the Dream in Harperland

And so ended, unofficially at least, the summer of 2013.

Another Labour Day parade has marched into memory.

The Snowbirds have drawn a giant heart in the sky and departed.

The boats are going home, the birds are flying south.

But what a day it was eh? Starting with this amazing march.
