Kory has been one of those (sadly, increasingly rare) Hill denizens who was always able to put aside partisanship and competing interests, and hang out on a patio talking politics over beer and chicken fingers with anyone possessing a similar sense of perspective and humour — whether a Liberal staffer or pixelstained liveblogger.- Kady OMalley July 29, 2009
Kory Teneycke has moved on to Quebecor after a short stint at the CBC as a guest panelist. A Fox News Canada?
The CRTC has confirmed reciept of an application by Quebecor. Quebecor that has some properties through Sun Media in Toronto. Details are not clear what is contained inside the application. The process could take months and a public consultation will follow before any decision. Fox News was launched to widespread derision in 1996, today it beats their competitors easily.
the Liberals’ problems are far worse than weak leadership and a divided left. Everywhere, liberal welfare states are retrenching.

The Liberal Party would be at on the hook for a large repayment. The Liberals were given sweetheart deals regarding their leadership loans.
The Liberals were recently forced to go to court to seek another extension on loans from 2006 as Elections Canada could NOT provided another extension. Justice Paul B.
