Mike's Blog Round Up
October 15, 2015

As you may know, there's a federal election here in Canada next Monday. It's an intriguing three-way race (though more of a two-way race according to the latest polls), and, obviously, fairly deep divisions across the country are being exposed as the Conservative government seeks to hang on to power against two credible challengers. But despite all that, there's one thing that's keeping Canada united right now. And yesterday, well, that was quite a game…

Go Jays! #cometogether

Meanwhile, south of the border, there's chaos on one side (to go along with the extremism):

Bark Bark Woof Woof: Why Paul Ryan is the answer to their prayers.

Zandar Versus the Stupid: Holding the country hostage again.

And sense and sensibility on the other:

Echidne of the Snakes: Observations on the Democratic debate.

No More Mister Nice Blog: How and why Hillary won the debate.

Seeing the Forest: Democrats are a progressive party now.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.

Send requests and suggestions to mbru@crooksandliars.com (with "For MBRU" in the subject line).
