Manitoba Blogs Revving Up
Spring fever and election fever abound in the Manitoba blogosphere. With a federal election pending - and the provincial election to follow - the local blogs are working overtime.
A quick summary of whats going on:
The Black Rod is posting more frequently than ever. He's dissecting the Crocus scandal, and doing a hell of a job detailing the absolute failure of fighting crime in Manitoba under the NDP. He's also doing excellent weekly coverage of whats happening in Afghanistan. Oh, and he throws shots at the Winnipeg Free Press for good measure. And hey, why not?
A Proud and Unapologetic Winnipeger has announced that he's going to run for the Manitoba PC Party (link) in Seine River. The man is passionate, and thats a great starting point for a new career. His name is Steve Andjelic and you can visit his website.
Jim Cotton is systematically dismantling any platform they may potentially roll out. Jim is rather impressive because he, unlike most Manitoba bloggers, realizes that this province needs actual change and not just a change in leadership. I hope to have a link to the Freedom Party of Manitoba soon.
The Blackberry Addicts have been posting furiously of late. Unfortunately they're lacking their usual insight into all-things NDP. They have resorted to rabidly attacking the media over the Crocus issue, and making the government appear very weak.
Andy Fletcher has been keeping his nose on the Crocus storm. Otherwise, he's been relatively quiet, which makes one wonder if he's got some new gossip brewing in the hopper.
Rene has started a new blog at Right in Manitoba. Much like this blog, Rene blogs about all things Canadian with no real focus on any particular issues.
Comments Closed has been quite of late, but seems to be revving up again.... just in time for election season. We're looking forward to his insights in the provincial election, and hopefully digging up some dirt on the Dippers.
Comments Closed said he thinks that YouTube will only swing a dozen or so voters. I think he's slightly mistaken there. It's just a matter of time until some YouTube video catches the attention of the MSM in Manitoba, or some nefarious blogger reveals a new scandal, and this whole thing will blow wide open.
The Lemon Chicken has finally shut down. Shae's apparently moving to Victoria to terrorize the locals with his brand of anti-Conservatism.
