Well when you have an opposing view in politics as your father had then he would have to go out and prove himself. Has Justin done anything remotely similar? WWWTT

I disagree! The Trudeau shadow extends too far for him to sneak out. And the NDP will not be his testing ground to see if he can be PM one day. WWWTT

Oh ya that's right! A conservative one to right? But he still did not have the same stigma attachment. Don't believe me?Do a snap quiz and ask how many people who Jacks father is,then ask who was Justins. Still this gives me some food for thought. Yesterday I was at the NDP Chinese committee advisory. I had the opportunity to talk with several MP's. Olivia Chow, Peggy Nash and the last one I forget.She is the MP for Scarborough Rouge River and she is Tamil/young. However this was a tight nit meeting and I will not disclose any more then that. WWWTT

Why the ? at the end of your sentence? Justin grew up in 24 Sussex. I am not sure of Jacks family when he was growing up,but I know for a fact that Jack never had the notoriety that Justin has. WWWTT

I can easily blame you for not understanding the point(misunderstanding) I was trying to make too. But let me clarify my thoughts here. Justin may bring to big/easy of a target to the NDP that the conservatives would be salivating for. As well it is in my opinion that Justin is way over-rated,just as Ignatieff was! In the NDP he will have to earn his position and he may not be able to cut it Keep in mind that the Canadian voters in the last election believed Jack Layton's NDP sincerity. Bringing Justin into the fold may jeopardize the trust that has been built between the NDP and Canadian voters! Is it really worth risking our growing foundation? It can be even argued that individuals as Justin or Ignatief were the cause of the demise of the liberals an I would not be so welcoming to a cancer into the party. WWWTT

I agree with your statements about the NDP using co-operation. I don't understand your need to draw communism into this? Conservatives are equally as much driven by conflict as communists and there are lots right here. I believe that the NDP will have to slightly navigate apart from their traditional negotiating tactics when they take power in 2015.But that's still some time away and there are still a couple scenarios possible that could effect the way their policy is executed. As far as implying that the NDP not accepting Justin into the fold would be at par as belittling the poor,I disagree with this. WWWTT

I have a different perspective on this. Economics are not that difficult. However many of the players have twisted and warped the playing field for so long now that only a limited number of individuals completely understand all the complexities and "small print". Actually many of the players out right fabricate! Don't believe me? Check out jugglingdynamite.com/investors-pull-half-a-billion-out-of-oleary-funds The real zinger hear is that a few years ago I remember many conservative political junkies suggesting that the government increase MP wages to attract these snake oil peddlars/riff raff/quacks into the political arena to help solve/strengthen our economy! I always found it absurd that some people really believed that a super slick car salesman(O'Leary) would make an excellent politician. WWWTT

Actually it's in my opinion that right now people who are born into a privileged life are not really that popular. Ignatieff would be my best example of this. In fact the NDP may never accept Justin even if he did want to come over because he may attract too much negative attention. WWWTT

Hey buddy whats with all the name calling!!!! You think this is your arena to openly insult anyone whom you disagree with! I'm going to report every single insult you make until you get banned buddy! Good luck using your insults on the admin. when they start warning you! Or are you going to start kissing their ass when they send you the warnings in a feeble attempt to keep this forum as your own personal "punching bag" to throw insults at? WWWTT

Why is everyone getting sucked into this "ferrari" debate??? If Ferrari workers are getting paid so little,and the cars that they manufacture are so expensive than that would mean that the workers are getting reamed!!! And when workers get reamed,the economy gets reamed!!! Makes sense since Italy is at the centre of the European financial woes. Actually I have to thank Fletch for pointing out how important unions are to the Canadian economy! Defending workers = defending economy! Beware talking financial advise from Kevin O'Leary!! This guy has admitted on the air that he is very greedy and only cares about his self interests! WWWTT

Feel confident? OK then I will report to the admin. If it stays then they agree,if not then your wrong. WWWTT

This topic should be under broadcasting and media. Not Canadian federal politics! WWWTT

I give you points for drama,but that's about it. WWWTT

I recall predicting that the conservatives would be regretting the MAJORITY government they were handed. Keep in mind that the MAJORITY of the members of BOTH houses are conservatives. No more hiding behind a minority government,maybe the conservatives can't handle it??? WWWTT

You have a link to back it up buddy? As well your numbers are not adding up. Explain WWWTT

Real odd that you would make this comment? Obviously just hypocrisy because you swear in the title of your thread! Good luck buddy! WWWTT

Man that's a freekin funny statement! And typical! The corporations/banks/financial institutions caused the slowdown with their greed, but somehow it was the unions fault and the unions received all the bailout packages according to you. And it sounds like you would say something like we would be better off without unions because they only get in the way of corporate profits?Am I right? What really gets me is how some of the big defenders of big corporation mentality around here are just middle class joes WWWTT

Good comment American Woman!!! I would like to add that I hope the publicity that this case generates will inform others and prevent similar tragedies from happening! WWWTT

Transparency??? To who?You? Why should any union in Canada need to disclose information to anyone who is not a member? You think you have some kind of entitled privilege over others? Good luck! WWWTT

This bill is about disclosing financial transactions. Competitors half the world away can with just a few clicks on the computer access all this information. Our institutions that protect the rights,safety and livelihood of Canadians need to be protected just as our other institutions that employ them! WWWTT

I'm not sure if I am going to answer this one here lady,or even how? Lets put it this way,the government,through this legislation, is unfairly subjecting such organizations disadvantage through disclosing private information and giving their competition an advantage since this legislation does not subject all organizations that provide services to publicly disclose. The government is being biased and is favoring some organizations over others. This is obviously unconstitutional! WWWTT

Man that's freekin lame! May I suggest "Okay,continue living with your head in the sand" Or perhaps "Ok,keep wearing those rose tinted glasses" I never heard of "Living with your head between your legs" before and it does not resonate well! Maybe Jack was on to something? WWWTT

That a boy Jack,give this guy a good old warm MLW welcome! Or what I like to call a "Baptism of Fire!" WWWTT

I would further add that many Canadians are jealous too! And that this is the true source of the problem here! WWWTT

When you say "unions do not fight this hard for their members" what do you mean? Lets recap what I have done shall we. I started a thread and made several comments,and you call this hard work??! And earlier you said unions protect lazy people(or something along those lines) Good luck buddy! WWWTT
