Imagine, having students working (well ok, striking) in a small room.....with little sleep, no lattes or Itunes. No wonder they eventually became "duped" We, as a just society, should not tolerate such blatent oppression.

A few things.... Have traveled in S.E Asia for 20+ years. Was in Indonesia, watching students taking to the streets, against Suharto. They were protesting for the right to have free political parties....in the face of a totally oppressive dictatorship. The Quebec tuition "protesters" certainly have a perfect right to protest as they see fit - but they perhaps need to get back to classes....and gain some better insight into the whole concept of "oppression" In this case, by "striking"....exactly what "services" are the students currently witholding from their neighbourhoods, communities, or for that matter, the general society? Perhaps this is one more concept, that needs further learning.

Bob may be simply biding his time......until a new executive changes the rules....enabling ole Bob to enjoy all of the built-in advantages of the interim leadership, in order to crush the other candidates. A couple Liberal MP's are already making noise about not trusting Rae, in this matter.....

The Liberals need to: 1. Take a hard look at the Apps, Herles, Smiths, Reids, etc......the so-called Liberal "brain trust", who have shaped previous tactics and electoral strategies - and chop a few heads. 2. Have a real party leadership convention with one member - one vote....the convention they should of had in 2006. 3. Have the policy convention, they were going to have in 06, with an eye to figuring out actual direction for the party - and for god's sake...don't call it a "thinkers conference" 4. Don't rely on _______mania, Iggy, Trudeau or whoever - to bail out the party fortunes. 5. Quit acting and talking as if anyone who didn't vote for you.... is somehow uneducated, short-sighted or simply delusional

and no answers will be provided after Oct..... as well

What the Grits really need to do is take a very hard look at Apps, Herle, Smith, Reid, etc - the great stratigic brain trust, for the last number of elections - and ask some pretty hard questions.....

Plenty of people have attempted to "take down" Harper and ensure that his "time is up".....with rather disapointing results...

Have listened to JT speak, a number of times. He simply needs a lot more time.... Be interesting to see if the Liberals manage to restrain themselves long enough, to give him the time. Time to really rebuild the party, and bypass the shortcuts and gimmicks....

Aren't we all.....

What Mulcair and some other Dippers really need to realize..... is that they are actually the Official Opposition of Canada now....this isn't Babble. Poking the Americans in the eye, simply for the sake of wanting to do it...is actually pretty counter constructive - for a supposed govenment-in-waiting. For the MSN, this stuff is jam for toast.

Bob is a powerhouse! Not many guys have the power to kill 2 parties....

Giving her a microphone.....is way worse....

Probably re-excavated Parizeau...in order to attract money and the ethnic vote.....

Simply work your way backwards.... Kinsella - Rae - Chretien (Desmarais family) You would think Michael I. would be getting the message, by now.....

1. Haven't enlisted in anybody's army - I have voted for more than one party..... 2. Again, to panic at this stage (25-26%)is simply hazardous and misguided..... for the Liberals.... 3. Both the Liberals and NDP are now swearing on bibles, that no talks, at all.. have taken place.... 4. Does anbody think most of the big-city Liberal MP's are really going to follow Jack Layton around as leader? 5. People are to make decisions in polling booths, based on ambiguous and theoretical scenarios, instead of platform/policy? 6. Kinsella and the President of the Liberal Party are now essentially calling each other.....fibbers.... 7. The only person really ranting and insulting anybody, at the moment.....seems to be you.
