Start Point...

Hello to all that have made it here to my website! This website was initially started to aid my original political campaign. I ran for the nomination of the Conservative Party in Kingston and the Islands in 2004.

Since its inception, this site has served as log of personal reflection on a number of events that have shaped our country. During the 2005-2006 election this blog broke many election-related stories which got significant play in the mainstream media.

Prior to the same election, I was invited by CTV.ca to write about the election and to spearhead the formation of a tri-partisan panel of bloggers for their comprehensive electoral coverage.

This blog was named the 3rd best political blog in Canada (behind the blogs of Warren Kinsella and Paul Wells) by the Hill Times.

In my other life, in addition to an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Queens University, I have completed graduate work investigating the use of artificial intelligence in predicting the structure of proteins.

Currently, Im located in Ottawa where I am a Fellow of the Manning Centre for Building Democracy. The Manning Centre is an organization founded by Preston Manning, the founding leader of the Reform Party and Canadian Alliance and former Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.

Cheers, Stephen Taylor

Liberals would meddle with RCMP: Liberals
The Liberal Party of Canada put out a baffling press release today accusing Conservatives of meddling with the staffing decisions of the RMCP, an arms-length agency of the government of Canada. The Liberals are upset that Chief Supr. Marty Cheliak was let go as head of the Canadian Firearms Program. Their solution? They would meddle [...]

CBC vandalizes Wikipedia too
One of the stories raging in the Canadian blogosphere today is the Toronto Star’s Wikipedia edit of Rob Ford’s Wikipedia page linking readers to a parody site of the candidate for mayor of Toronto. BCF has the run-down. I decided to check up on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to see what sorts of edits their [...]
