FearandLoathing

Cherry picked? Please, that's a socialist tactic to claim falsehood and hide. If you have data that disputes the above, as implicated, post them or close the pie hole

"Our Jack Weber is a far better example of the average Canadian than you may think. " Then only God can help us. I've lived in this country for six decades and his level of hostility is usually only found in remote farm villages where in breeding includes the livestock. i think I can live without this forum. Good luck to you

How about we just leave and let you ignorant eastern slithering misfits freeze in the dark? How long HAVE yhou been sucking the welfar tit anyway?

She was named *interim* leader to make NDP voters in Quebec feel important and because she is the least threatening to the powers that be within the party. Let's be honest. Jack isn't likely to be back in the saddle real soon...if at all. They do not want anyone to have an edge with what will likely be a nasty and possibly divisive leadership contest. If I read the situation right, the traditional NDP support in English Canada is VERY nervous that the party caucus is now controlled by Quebec. If they are smart they will ride heard on her....but then the NDP has had a smart deficit since David Lewis retired.

Well, I have met Quebecers working illegally in Florida who bitch that they cannot speak their native tongue while doing so. It is the Quebec way. Our politicians all know they need the numbers in Quebec to form a government. It is why Layton has had his nose up their butts for the last ten years. Harper is the first PM ever to be elected without serious numbers in Quebec and we will see how long he lasts. In the meantime, they continue to take the West for granted. Saskatchewan, the birthplace of the NDP has not one NDP seat, none in Alberta and the provincial NDP in BC can't distance itself from this issue fast enough. The new Liberal Premier continues to point out that the NDP is now a Quebec based party.....it might be what keeps her in office. Many Westerners believe it has gone on long enough, that BC, Alberta and Sask should band together, separate and gouge the hell out of the East to keep their homes heated in the winter.

My problem is not with the fact she was a member of two separatist parties so much as she did not make that fact know and her explanation/excuse is as lame as Jack Layton's excuse for being in the massage parlor. It is right up there with I smoked pot but didn't inhale. While I support much of what the NDP stands for, I have never trusted them much and even less now. I simply do not believe anyone with a brain would join a political party whose main plank they do not agree with to support a friend and remain a member for four years. Does not pass the smell test.
