That's why Mulcair is making his attack early, on the economic side of things. The NDP spin will be to convince Canadians that Conservative economic policy is short-lived and unsustainable.

The scary thing is that the NDP seem to have a ton of momentum going for them right now. Even Mulcair's supposedly divisive "dutch comments" aren't knocking any support.

Actually, this is starting to change as the NDP now have BC support and soon Ontario. They already have the Atlantic side as well.

That was the big talk around most parts as the NDP were just beginning this momentum shift.

We've already established his real name is "Smith Maneuvering".

I don't think that was the actual reaction in either case.

That's because Dim Whodat gave McSquinteye the win. Anything is possible, but the NDP have been impeccably good at framing the discussion and even the dutch bomb isn't bringing them down.

It'll be a safer bet later on in the term when the Tories are down by 10 points.

No one cares.

I think a vote right now would bring a Harper minority as well, but that doesn't deligitimize the polls. It just means that a lot of people change their minds once they are ready to vote. That said, a poll can be a fairly accurate representation of the vote - Ontario's last election comes to mind.

That explains why the cons are paying so much to fuel the dutch disease criticism and Mulcair's mortgage life.

Can't say I give two poops, but somehow the media will spin it to make it sound like the guy is bad with money and dutch disease and greece and wmds.

Yea that is pretty silly. I don't know why anyone would think that this solution is even being suggested in the first place.

It's more of an omniburp.

Nevermind that the costs just go further up, the longer we wait. Not much fiscal responsibility in that kind of agenda.

Greece is the new WMD.

I agree. This should be common sense.

Doesn't look like Mulcair's dutch disease comments are negatively affecting his performance.

You can spin it however you want, but the truth is that there is some influence from an artificially inflated dollar. No one is suggesting that we need to sacrifice resource sector - only that we need to sustain a balanced economy so that we don't suffer after the boom is over. I'm not sure how that is a "left-wing" goal, considering there are right-wing premiers that support a good long term strategy.

Same here. Congrats Rob Ford, for dropping some douchebag points!

Yea, the oilsands. Geography can be kind if you're situated in the right spot.

What does this mean within the context of this thread?

wtf is this garbage?
