Where are these studies anyways punked? Where's your proof, you're the one that always wants people to back up everything they say so prove this statement.

Michael Ignatieff did when he was leader.

Former Auditor General, John Noseworthy, who was offered the Liberal Party leadership will likely be running against NDP leader Lorraine Michael for the Progressive Conservatives, if he gets the nomination. This will be one of the toughest races on election night, the PCs have a good chance of taking out both party leaders seeing the newly appointed Liberal leader Kevin Aylward is running against a high profile cabinet minister.

This is the mentality of our NDP in Newfoundland and Labrador. http://t.co/zKpGcrf

Former cabinet minister Kevin Aylward, who was a last minute entry into the leadership race, was surprisingly chosen as leader on Sunday. He plans to challenge high profile cabinet minister and House Leader Joan Burke to win back his old district, this will likely turnout to be the most interesting district to watch on election night. If Aylward loses this seat it will be the second time in a row that the Liberal leader never held a seat following the election.

I'm so happy we have punked here to educate us all!

Yvonne Jones has just finished making the announcement that due to health reason she will not lead the Liberal Party during the election.

Yvonne Jones is set to leave politics by the end of the week.

For the second time in as many weeks there are rumours that Liberal leader Yvonne Jones is resigning.

Two stories on the election. http://www.thetelegram.com/News/Local/2011-08-06/article-2694834/Provincial-government-on-a-spending-spree/1#Comments http://www.nationalpost.com/m/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/2011/08/06/battlegrounds-canada-with-woman-leading-all-major-parties-newfoundlands-seas-are-changing&s=Opinion

Thanks to Muskrat Falls power rates in Newfoundland and Labrador will stabilize after going up 37% between now and 2016. Something like 99% of province will be powered by green energy. http://www.nalcorenergy.com/assets/pdf/faq%20-%20electricity%20rates_july%2019%202011%20final.pdf

She's an opportunist.

She's the leader now of a federal party but it's obvious that she doesn't care much about other provinces. The Bloc were clear that they'd only support policies if they were good for Quebec, it didn't matter how other provinces faired. If you aren't a separatist and you agree all provinces are equal then how can you support the Bloc?

If she didn't support separatism then why did she support the Bloc over the NDP, why did she run for the NDP and not the Bloc?

Turmel is clearly an opportunist. She wouldn't support the NDP because she didn't think they had a chance, so instead she supported a party that's main goal was to breakup our country.

So according to the Globe and Mail Turmel was a card carrying Bloc Québécois till January of this year.

The Liberals have released their first major policy for the election. http://www.thetelegram.com/News/Local/2011-08-01/article-2685718/Liberals-would-establish-seniors-department/1

I wonder will Turmel hold an extraordinary convention, like the Liberals, to try and change the party's name to the Bloc Democrats?

As of Thursday the New Democrats have another three candidates in place for a total of 17, they have a number of other nominations called and it seems as though each Thursday we should see another three candidates nominated. Lorraine Michael released two platform planks, one relates to promoting the shipbuilding industry in the province while the other relates to the fishery. Little detail was given on either of the policies. The Liberals nominated their 14th candidate this week, it was a contested nomination and the winner won by just one vote. The party's site is so poorly organized that's it is hard know what nominations they have called. According to a former Liberal MHA who was interviewed at the party's golf tournament last week the reason they don't have many candidates nominated yet is because the quality candidates who've said they want to run for them "have jobs" and they'd have to resign them so they want to wait. Yvonne Jones is set to make a policy announcement on Monday, regarding health care. Kathy Dunderdale, along with ministers and MHAs, are crisscrossing the province making funding announcements and giving out fire trucks. They have 41 candidates in place and are expected to open more nominations this week.

This a thread about Newfoundland and Labrador so why don't you take your idiotic socialist views somewhere else you dummy.

You're an ignorant pig, dummy.

A report released in the last couple of months stated that Nova Scotia has the highest taxes, you dummy.

So the NDP isn't progressive dummy?

I've stated that she probably didn't support them because they were separatists, but it still doesn't change the fact that she supported them. Why would she support the Bloc Quebecois over the NDP though, you dummy?
