Well this is the question. Is her nomination a tool to make Layton look good? I think chances are pretty good Layton doesn't come back at least from how he looked at that press conference. If he does, you're right this debate is pointless. But if he doesn't then we have will have a leadership contest where the factions of the party will become obvious to everyone in Canada.

A divorce should be between two equal parties. Not a territory that's been sucking off the gumint teet since the UK allowed them to exist and now wants no part of it. If they choose to separate I'd say eff em. They get nothing. Oh and we're going to go through and rip a part the Trans-Canada highway.

Oh and no Federal government to prop them up. I'm sure that $7 daycare will be even harder to sustain.

Did those games end on a Rouge? The Argos are anything but beloved to me. They are my team of convenience. A 1-5 team of convenience at this point.

Because of a "temporary" injunction. I thought this was a free country though.

Regardless of your opinions of abortion, this story should make you sick. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/linda-gibbons-arrested-for-silent-witness-outside-toronto-abortion-mill/ In a country where people on the left protest on the drop of a hat, sometimes violently, this lady quietly protests what she believes is the evil of abortion, and she's labelled a criminal. It's actually offensive to all my sensibilities. If she was screaming at people going into these clinics and threatening them, well that's one thing. But she just stands there with a sign and she's been in jail more than some murderers in this country. This kind of travesty defies all forms of logic.

Either she's lying about her separtists beliefs OR she's doesn't care to much about the issue. Either way the NDP under her will be un-electable outside of Quebec.

Yeah they are stupid rules. The game is tied, there's 5 seconds on the clock, you're on the 30 yard line, you win if you can punt the ball more than 50 yards. The NFL schedule is actually pretty fair for a 32-team league. You play the 3 teams in your division twice (home and away). Your division plays 8 games against 2 other divisions one AFC and one NFC (it rotates every year), and the remaining 2 games are made up of playing teams that finished the same spot at you in the other divisions in your conference. Since you're pretty much competing against the teams in your own division is very fair.

Brand Loyalty. There's a competing Subway system around? The money, I suppose, isn't that much, but tell that to the commuters that are under constant threat of having their services cut or fares raised.

So the TTC is said to have spent $25,000+ on promotional material for their new subway cars. But there's no gravy at all. pst, if people are on the subway already, they know the subway cars are new.

So in her resignation letter to the Bloc she said it was for personal reasons not that she disagreed with the policies of the party. I thought she disagreed with the Bloc's separtist agenda. Also it came out that she was a member of a second separtist group. I think her lack of a strong opinion on Nationalism will do her no favours in the rest of the country.

You have to be trolling. Comparing Crack, Cocaine and Heroine to Alcohol is sorta silly. I'm sure that kid purchase the alcohol from one of your favourite unionized LCBO employees BTW.

Perhaps Neo-Citron should release a joint for the common cold.

'Cept when that young enterprising kid treads on someone else's territory and winds up dead. I like the movie American Gangster. The Denzel Washington character is portrayed as this enterprising minority that's providing a service everyone wants and creating employment for many people. Then they show a montage with a bunch of drugged out crack-heads getting there fix. One scene with a baby crying next to it's parent that likely OD'd.

Daddy Dalton pledges to raise rents now because he's about to get pwnt. The last few years he's approved max increases of less than 1 percent. How can a landlord maintain his property if he can't increase rent anywhere close to the rate of inflation. My property taxes, Condo Fees, Utilities, Insurance have all gone up steadily. Green Jobs are a scam since the only way these forms of power can be generated without a loss is from government subsidies. Oleg if that's all you've got from Hudak's platform by now you haven't been listening. The only problem I have with Hudak is that he's promising not to make cuts. It's a mistake Rob Ford finds himself in. He plans to cut revenue by eliminating the HST on utilities so that money has to be made up somewhere and then some. The good news for him is that Dalton has moved so far to the right in the past year because of his impending defeat he'll probably lose votes on both sides.

16,000 jobs SUUUUUUURE DALTON. Paid for by the Taxpayer I'm assuming. The fact that he realizes the deal he originally signed was idiotic and he had re-jig it because everyone hates him for it proves Daddy Dalton is an ultra dumb-ass.

I'm not going to provide a link for this issue. I'm sure you all know what it's about. In Vancouver people are able to get clean IV needs to get their Heroine fix on so they can reduce the chance of spreading HIV/AIDS etc. Well news out this week, they also want to give people new crack pipes!!!! Just a thought. Since these people still have to perform some illicit act to obtain the drugs they're hooked on, can't they spare some of the money to purchase the application device themselves? I don't see how these programs do anything but enable drug addicts. It does zero to reduce their addiction. We're not talking about Weed or anything. These drugs are seriously addictive and horrible for your health. I doubt there is any safe level of heroine use. Why not give the people that come to these places free methadone or something. I think these programs just make the problem worse not better.

This thread is getting tiresome now. The NDP will be rather irrelevant for at least 4 years anyway. They were more powerful with 40 odd seats in a minority situation.

I have no idea. Please tell me. I'd assume it's the same. Please don't tell me you're denying that Quebec has received preferential from the Feds for quite some time now.

So who's Andrea Horvath then? Does she answer to Jack Layton or this new lady we're debating?

She has four years to do that I suppose. Assuming Jack doesn't come back and assuming she can run for the leadership. I know the Liberals have a rule that interim leaders can't run for leadership. Not sure if that's the same for the NDP. Again I've never said she's a separtist. All I'm saying is the optics are bad when you consider she was a member of the Bloc a few months before she became an NDPer before the election was called. I, like many people, question how solid the NDP support in Quebec is, when you consider many Bloc voters just switched their support mid-campaign.

OK I'll take your word for it. Still he was a founding member of the Reform Party and helped build the current CPC. It's not like he was a Liberal a few months before he ran for the CPC.

Also to make up $700,000 the rate would have to go up 30%. Cuts have to be made.

Stephen Harper used to be a Liberal? since when? The Liberal Jean Charest used to be a Federal PC Tory. But that party, at the time, was rather irrelevant.
