The Canadians learned how to read the labels on produce last year and have been seeking out alternatives to American products wherever possible. In British Columbia where the State runs liquor stores, American products don’t even get on the shelves. …

Cancelled my “Herald” sub after the 2005 General Election. Won’t have it in the house. My partner checks the Death Notices online every day to make sure we are not dead. That is it.

Looks like the Cass Review passed you by. There is no good evidence that chemically castrating young people with “off brand” medications improves their mental health. There is also no evidence at all that any person is “born in the wrong body”.

Always said that Poi E should be our National Anthem. The present one is only good when sung in Te Reo – otherwise it is a dirge.

Helen White is my MP as well and she is certainly not invisible. From the neon sign on her office in the Trades Hall building, to the regular billboard signs on fences at corners like opposite Pak’nSave on New North Rd, she has been very visible for the …

Well if Burnham does half as good a job for Britain as he did for Greater Manchester, they will go somewhat towards putting themselves out of the mire successive UK Governments have accumulated.

Absolutely. I was involved in Election Day organising for Labour in three electorates in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. One electorate was “safe” Labour, one needed reclaiming, and one was “safe” National/Act. In the first 2 we had done extensive canvassing …

This is absolutely true of the people who have gone down various rat holes, especially since Covid. They remain determinately attached to their beliefs regardless of any evidence to the contrary. You can present all the peer reviewed science based evidence …

I see that TOP is spending a shedload of $$$$ on TV adverts filmed in the Mt Albert Electorate

Time to check on your enrollment. I have voted from the same address for over 40 years. I checked last month and neither my partner or I were on the Electoral Roll. We have had no notice that we had been removed. We have since re-enrolled, but nobody …

Wind works well for islands also.

This is particularly relevant in that Electorate which is about 40% Muslim. Voters chose the Party that was most likely to defeat the Reform candidate. Because of Labour’s antics over the selection process and its lackluster performance in Government – …

This UK Labour government was built on sand. It was a result of the visceral hatred of the Tory Party and of Boris. The voters elected the people they though were most likely to oust the Conservatives. Unfortunately, Starmer has squandered even that flimsy …
