Scott Walker is a conservative hero, and liberals have themselves to blame for it

Whether it's unions oruniversities,Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has waged a number of huge fights -- symbolic and otherwise -- with liberals. So far, thefights have only served to bolster his credentials among national conservatives who like nothing more than a Republican willing to poke liberals in the eye.

And now New York Times columnist Gail Collins has thrown Walker another hanging curveball by which to bash liberals and shine in the eyes of conservatives.

In a recent column widelyderidedas a "hit piece" by conservatives, Collins centered on Walker's breakout speech in Iowa, declaring that it was "his moment." Known for her stream-of-consciousness writing style, Collins sets herself up as a kind of fact-checker of Walker's record. She blames the governor for cutting state aid to education that led to teacher layoffs -- particularly in regard to one teacher who had been honored.

But there was just one big problem with that assertion: Walker wasn't actually in office when saidcuts were made.

Theheadline -- "Scott Walker Needs an Eraser"-- pretty muchsaid it all, except it wasn't Walker who needed one.

The correction, which came two days after the column was posted, said: "An earlier version of this column incorrectly stated that teacher layoffs in Milwaukee in 2010 happened because Gov. Scott Walker 'cut state aid to education.' The layoffs were made by the citys school system because of a budget shortfall, before Mr. Walker took office in 2011."

Walker's conservative fans immediately seized on Collins's mistake.

Liberals' byelection scandal expected to dominate as Ontario legislature resumes

The Canadian Press Published Tuesday, February 17, 2015 7:03AM EST Last Updated Tuesday, February 17, 2015 10:18AM EST

TORONTO -- Premier Kathleen Wynne says she won't ask her deputy chief of staff to step aside while the Ontario Provincial Police investigate Pat Sorbara's role in a Sudbury byelection.

Wynne says Sorbara's role as the Liberal campaign director is separate from her duties in the premier's office, so there's no need for her to resign during the police investigation.

It's the first time Wynne has commented since police filed a court document in which they say there are grounds to believe an offence was committed.

Andrew Olivier alleges the Liberals offered him a job or appointment to step aside as their candidate to make way for former New Democrat MP Glenn Thibeault -- who won the Feb. 5 byelection.

Wynne maintains no specific offer was made to Olivier, and insists all the Liberals were trying to do was keep a "failed candidate" active in the party.

She also says the people of Sudbury had all the facts about the OPP investigation when they went to the polls, and still elected a Liberal.

The opposition parties are waiting to pounce on the OPP investigation into the Liberal's behaviour in the byelection as the legislature resumes today for the first time since its Christmas break.

Liberals Eve Adams play a defensive move in attack-ad war: Hbert

On the first sitting day of the House of Commons since her defection, former Conservative MP Eve Adams kept a low profile. Anyone looking for a preview of how she would stack up in debate against Finance Minister Joe Oliver in the GTA riding of Eglinton-Lawrence will have to wait.

But it will take more than a few bouts of sparring in question period to put Liberal minds to rest over the latest addition to Justin Trudeaus caucus.

A week after the Liberal leader rolled out the red carpet for Adamss floor crossing the episode remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma for most Liberals.

On that score a weekend trip to Vancouver that featured a handful of conversations with veteran party insiders on the West Coast mostly confirmed that the move has baffled Liberals from coast to coast.

Those insiders like most observers start from the premise that Trudeaus team of advisers is a seasoned one. In their minds, such battle-hardened strategists would or should have expected both the editorial backlash and the internal discontent that attended the decision to bring Adams and by the same token former Stephen Harper confidant Dimitri Soudas on board.

Few buy the line that Adams is so ideally placed to take on Oliver on the battlefield of the Conservative income-splitting measure as to be worth her weight in political gold.

As flawed as the policy of allowing parents to split their income for tax purposes may be, it does not have the legs to move mountains of votes that a tax hike for instance would have.

In the same breath, most of them dismiss the notion that Soudas has such invaluable insights on what makes a now-familiar prime minister tick on a debate podium as suggested among others by former Conservative minister Stockwell Day as to make signing up his fiance an irresistible proposition.

If anything, Adamss inclusion on the Trudeau team has more to do with a dogged Liberal quest for deterrence on the field of dirty tricks than with making inroads in voting intentions.

Conservative spin doctors have been quietly bragging about having collected dirt on Trudeau ever since he ran for the leadership.
