Finally, an explanation.

I have been shaking my head in wonder at the behaviour of the federal government recently -- constantly attacking Ontario's recently-reelected-with-a-majority government, whining about their choices in the budget, etc -- and I really couldn't figure it out. Most blog posts seemed to indicate similar questions, usually along the lines of "What's Harper's game?"

Sadly, the game is just that he's a child, says Paul Wells. This makes a lot more sense than thinking he's out to govern Ontario by press conference, I think.

It's too bad Baird's a big mo and friendly in real life (to hear a friend who worked for him tell it), cause he really doesn't put across that impression *anywhere* in public life.

I love how on CTV Newsnet, the ad for Mike Duffy's political show has Baird saying how Duffy pulled him out of his shell. We can blame Mike Duffy for Baird's attitude, which is fine with me, because I can't stand Mike Duffy. (His show was only watchable when he was on sick-leave, and Jane Taber took over.)

His sexuality is kind of obvious too. I mean, why else would Harper trust him to always be his wife's date. I'm drooling in anticipation of McGreevey-esque chauffeur stories from Baird.
