Nothing to do with me. The holier than thou NDP can do the same thing with policies.

Same old Liberals have accepted resolutions on using a preferential ballot in federal elections and legalizing and regulating marijuana.

It's not speculation that you're saying what Seamus O'Regan will or won't do? Time to get the dictionary.

You're telling me your speculation, I don't necessarily disagree with you. Anyways I don't really care that much.

Nobody can be denied a leave of absence from their job for politics. I highly doubt he'd run but his name is out there.

The Liberals have at least one candidate. Toronto businessman Grant Gordon is running for the nomination. http://m.facebook.com/GrantGordonLiberal?_rdr

I guess he'd take a leave of absence like everybody else who runs.

That's where he lives.

Seamus O'Regan is supposedly one of the people being considered by the Liberals to run in Toronto-Danforth. http://www.thestar.com/article/1113451--tim-harper-ndp-defection-looming-byelection-good-news-for-stephen-harper

I'd probably agree with a good bit of it, but I will. & Because it's located in the province of Ontario.

He never said anything about "doing away with our health care system", he mentioned stopping the government monopoly. This is about the TD byelection anyway.

Why?

So the Liberals are supposedly delighted about the NDP nominee in the riding. One potential candidate for them that I thought might run is George Smitherman but he has declined and is instead searching for potential candidates. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/01/11/jack-laytons-former-riding-in-liberals-crosshairs-as-ndp-nominates-rookie-for-byelection/

What an idiotic comment, your'e disgusting.

Craig Scott was elected as the NDP candidate for the by-election. The Liberal Party seems to be moving very slowly in selecting their candidate, which won't help them when the by-election is eventually called. I think the Liberal Party has lost there chance on this by-election due to their slowness. Maybe we'll see the rise of the Libertarian Party.

This would be neoliberal not neoconsevative.

Belinda Stronach is being encouraged by Liberals to run in Toronto-Danforth, according to an article I read the Liberals riding association is expecting to have upwards to five candidates running for the nomination. As many probably know there are also three people running for the NDP nomination, I believe their candidate will be selected very soon.

Nice to see you've counted them out completely.

The Wheat Board was a Conservative policy.

I agree that it would be nice for them to have a leader from western Canada, or just outside of Ontario or Quebec, but the reality is that it's very complicated for them to have a western leader. The party has few safe seats, let alone in western Canada, and they need to have someone who can get elected. Trying to find a strong bilingual western Canadian who is electable is not an easy job for the Liberals. Before they can look at winning government they need to build back a base of support. Ontario and Quebec have traditionally been the party's areas of strength, but in recent years have lost those bases. They need a leader who can win them at least one of those provinces.

What is a better for the Liberals, a Quebec leader or an Ontario leader?

Kim Campbell could have probably been great.

I have and he hasn't proven himself over the last three years. If he wasn't a Trudeau people would not think he was leadership material, he could become leadership material but he's definitely not now.

No because he doesn't have much of a clue, just nice hair and a white smile.

Do any Quebeckers, or anyone I guess, know of any potential leaders from Quebec who could become leader of the party? It's slim pickings within the current caucus. Are there any former Liberal candidates, provincial politicians, business people, or whoever in the province who could come forward.
