		<title>Little Political Change as Olympics Begin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our latest projections include new polls by Environics, Ekos, and Angus Reid over the past week or so. While Environics shows a slight tilt towards the Liberals, it is offset by a slight tilt towards the Conservatives in the Ekos and Angus Reid polls, so the start of the Olympics has has changed little from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Conservatives Drop Following Prorogation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As widely expected, the latest seat projections show a significant drop for the Conservatives, as Canadians register their displeasure over the government&#8217;s decision to prorogue Parliament.

		<title>GPC Leadership Contest Crisis: A Solution</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(apologies, this is longer than usual)
For the last couple months, the Green Party of Canada (GPC) has been plagued by an internal debate about whether to proceed with their constitutionally mandated leadership contest in Aug 2010 (i.e. 4 years after Elizabeth May&#8217;s Aug 2006 election) or do a last-minute constitutional (by-law) amendment at their August [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canadian Politics: Apathetic or Just Pathetic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Conservatives cancel Parliament &#8212; twice &#8212; to avoid being voted down.
Liberals don&#8217;t bother with a leadership race, crown a leader without a vote.
