Maybe it’s just me, but it seems as though Canadian politics have become interesting again – at least as far as the media is concerned. Most of the interest has to do with Adscam, like the American blogger who bypassed a Canadian gag order meant to keep the details of the proceedings out of the public eye:
A Canadian commission that’s investigating charges of high-level wrongdoing in the nation’s Liberal Party has ordered news organizations not to reveal details from the proceedings, which are open to the public. But Ed Morrissey, a conservative Web logger in Minneapolis, has been gleefully violating the ban by posting detailed reports of the verboten “Adscam” testimony. His usual average of 30,000 page views a day skyrocketed during the weekend to more than 400,000…
Another blogger, this one Canadian, has also dedicated a post to the issue. Tim Bray says “the Martin government is toast“, though he doesn’t have too much to say about the opposition either, calling it “weak and divided.” Indeed, searching Technorati for ‘canada liberals‘ returns about 9500 results, but what’s most interesting is how recent they are. Here’s a few highlights:
- Paranoia in the Great White North at Blue Ibis
- Polls show scandal hurt Canada Liberals at Cave News and Views
- How the left is destroying Canada at Right Wing Balance
- Liberal Stench in Canada at Warren Kommishoner’s Blog
So what do you think? Are the political parties in Canada making things interesting again, or are there just more Canadian bloggers writing about it giving the perception that it’s more interesting?

I think that politics is always interesting, depending on what one expects out of it. But I think that right now, it’s especially relevant for people, which is making it more interesting. And if the publication banis ever completely lifted, it’s going to be a field day for bloggers and traditional media alike.
