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.
