Sunday Afternoon Links

- I wouldn't expect Michael Ignatieff to take up Bob Hepburn's call for a focus on health care anytime soon. But Hepburn may want to note that at least one federal leader is already leading the charge on the issue that's most important to Canadians.

- Speaking of whom, those wondering about Jack Layton's progress in dealing with prostate cancer will find some answers from the National Post.

- For those who haven't yet read James Travers' rundown of how the Harper Cons have changed Canada for the worse, it's definitely worth a look. But if anybody wants to add another sad example to the list, how about a government which apparently needs to be told by an auditor to follow rules that it wrote and implemented?

- Finally, Alex Himelfarb's post on how to define Canadian progressivism looks to offer a great jumping-off point for a summer where members of a number of parties face choices as to how best to develop an alternative to Harper's crony conservatism. (Which isn't to say that I'd necessarily want to run with Himelfarb's definition - but I'll deal with that in more detail in future posts.)
