looking for Canadian political blogs
posted 2005.05.31
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.
My pal and fellow Canadian, Chris Alemeny has a good political blog at http://www.murkyview.com/
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.
