Just saw this at Ianking.ca:  This Magazine's blog ranks Canada's political columnists -- I'm presuming it's a collectivist effort. :)

Here's the top of the class:

Chantal Hebert:A+
She's easily the best political writer in the country right now, in French and English

Paul Wells: A
Gives people a reason to buy Macleans. Has one of the few must-read political blogs in Canada. Points deducted for being a jazz freak.

Andrew Coyne: B+
Consistently the smartest writer on constitutional issues. He immediately pegged the health accord as Meech by stealth; it took the rest of the country weeks to catch up. Has too many weird moments though, especially his inexplicable support for Bush.

Margaret Wente: B+
Mostly I hate her, but I have to read her. Is bent on skewering Martin the way she skewered Crouton at the end, which is nice.
