looking for Canadian political blogs2005.05.31

So here's the dilemma.

Given the sheer number of blogs I read, it seems a miracle that I don't read any Canadian political blogs, but I don't. Now, however, I'm on the schniff for well written political blogs.

Finding Canadian political blogs isn't really a problem - lookee lookee - but the problem is that there are TONS, and I have no idea which are great, and which ones might jive with my political leanings (decidedly left, but not so far as to be completely socialistic).

Put this way: if someone new to gadget blogs asked for recommendations, I'd suggest Gizmodo, Popgadget and Endgadget as a good triumvirate to start with.

That's the kind of thing I'm looking for here.

Local Toronto content would be a plus, as would Ontario content, but really anything that covers Federal matters would be a plus.

Update:
Just found a list of Top Canadian Blogs, ranked by daily visitors. Not sure at this point if they're all political, but hopefully this will help in my search as well. :)

Thanks Steve! That's a little bit of help (at least, gives me another "vote" for Rabble, which looked interesting - wish they published an RSS feed!). I also found:

I'm all-new to this political thing, but am trying to learn. Anyone know if the link I show above is any good for what I'm looking for?

Ask the fellas at Treehugger, maybe.

I was a fan of http://www.revmod.ca during the last election campaign. Haven't really been following politic blogs lately though.

Thanks to all for sharing your tips! Once I've gone through a month or two of reading these, I'll post my own mini-list of suggestions as thank you.

My blog is Canadian politics from a moderate/centrist point of view, and affiliated with non-partisan and progressive bloggers. If you want more leftist commentary, other progressive bloggers can probably satisfy your craving.

Perfection is impossible but improvement can happen every single day. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Make a wish. Dance when the music moves you. If it's hard to say, odds are it's what the listener most needs to hear. Wear a new colour. Do that thing that scares you. Love as often as possible.
