I don't know about that. Rae and Iggy control a majority of the delegates between them. I definitley cannot see Kennedy winning. I could see Kennedy supporting Dion on the third ballot. Now that people see Dion as the emerging alternative to Iggy he has become a target for a lot of attacks. There are so many things we can't judge as outsiders. How effective have campaigns been at wooing delegates for second ballot support? What are Dryden, Hall-Findlay, Brison and Volpe going to do? I think it is an interesting to note that the four candidates who have dropped out of the race have all supported Rae. Maybe David Orchard's support puts Rae over the top!

Do explain "corporate welfare"... The left's anti-conservative rhetoric is soooooooo weak and tiring sometimes.

Don't really know how to take this post at face value, but I guess you are mocking World Net Daily. Deserving mocking, don't get me wrong. Look at a site and when you see ads for "The Truth About Cindy Sheehan" and "The Truth About Islam" you can gues which side the Truth lies on... Looknig at crap like that is what drives me crazy about lefties in Canada automatically equating Canadian Conservatives with the wingnuts in the Republican party. We aren't the same!!!

Valuable contribution Cameron. I think many people agree with your position. We can only hope your reasonable request is met with a reasonable response. I don't really think Gerry cares about getting respect on the board though.

Exactly!

Sorry, no way I give free rein for you and Gerry to have your anti-Harper hatefest...

No way there is a "couple" of seats to be picked up in Edmonton. Under any Liberal leader. The only potential vulnerable seat is Edmonton Strathcona. Word is Rahim Jaffer has matured a lot as caucus chair and is doing well. He will probably work harder in the spring election than he has in any previous election. The Liberals and NDP smell blood and will both probably put up strong candidates. That Duncan woman again for the dippers and who knows for the Libs. Two viable candidates hurts the left in that riding. Rahim wins again easily. None of the other seats are at all vulnerable. Even the open seats, i.e. Edmonton-St. Alberta or Edmonton-Sherwood Park. Nope, no matter who the Liberal leader is Alberta stays 100% Conservative.

Harper was never asked to vote on other hate crimes legilsation. Uhhh, by that logic shouldn't the Prime Minister of all of Canada be fee to represent the views of all Canadians??? Unless it doesn't agree with the wishes of the GLBT community?

Your dozens of sources were weak and not from financial industry sources. The Hindu Times online? A poetry blog? I'm not surprised that you'd want to resort to violence, given your deficiencies in discourse. or admitting your lack of knowledge about the investment industry...

Wow another thread attacking the Prime Minister. Guess who started it?

What is it about you? Why can't you recognize that sometimes diplomacy requires less than 100% truthful and honest answers...

Morgan Stanley didn't edit the non-standard English of the original story. Pathetic foolishness??? I think you *destroyed* your own credibility with your attempts at defending your *knowledge*.

Why do I see Dion as easy to beat for the Conservatives? The tough to understand English hurts him on the campaign trail. (While it worked for le petit 'gar, it doesn't work for a university professor to speak the most common offical language in the country so poorly.) He isn't well liked in his home province. He has very little appeal to centrist Canadians. He is the only serious candidate who is truly less charismatic than Harper.

Your point being? Call him a *homophobe* all you want. He voted the way his constituents wanted him to. He hasn't brought up the issue of hate crimes legislation again and won't. *scary* *scary* *scary* = *homophobe* *homophobe* *homophobe* = sad, tired, pathetic and self-interested...

Common term ... maybe. Common term in the investment industry? No. The Morgan Stanley link is a quote from an article in Korea's top English language business newspaper. If that is the best you can do it's pretty sad. NOW will you quit being so dramatic and just recognize I called you on your bafflegab. Three attempts at 'proving' your expertise only go to show how lacking your 'expertise' really is.

I wonder how many there are out there. What if this group all votes Green instead? There will definitely be some NDP who vote Liberal because of Rae. I honestly don't think the number in either group will be very large, probly will cancel each other out.

There is legislation against gay bashing. It is called assault and battery. There is a difference between caring about a politician's attitude on an issue and deciding your vote based on it. Once the vote comes and the issue is declared dead it will only be an issue for the less than 5% of Canadians who belong to, the GLBT community or liek you share a 'revulsion' to Harper. Many Canadians don't like the man and don't vote for him. But revulsion? Come on...

Is he going to vote Conservative?

Never demanded a *quick* answer. Why not take your time and look at the first five sources from this search. 1. An open, community blog with no specific focus on finance. 2. A blog by "Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities." 3. A page from "Workers world" workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite! 4. A page from The Hindu's web site. (A British paper for the Hindu community.) 5. A page from Safehaven.com. A site about taking a long-term investing. Good for you. Only took ten hits to find one page Good for you ten links to find one tanegitally related to investments. Doesn't sound like standard industry terminology to me. Do you want a shovel to keep digging that hole? If you can show me I am wrong I will be more than willing to admit my mistake. I haven't challenged your knowledge because you haven't shown any.

Huh? Makes sense to me. Thanks Normie. Stan, to clarify. The only people in Ontario who wouldn't vote Liberal because Rae is the leader already vote Conservative. So there won't be any electoral advantage for the Conservatives in Ontario if Rae wins.

You're right to an extent, but there is a method to my madness. By questioning the constant Harper-bashing I accomplish a few things. I stop him from starting endless theads bashing Harper with nobody standing up to him. I expose the intellectual vacuousness of his arguments. I illustrate his never-ending hypocrisy for all to see.

Given your views on cross-posting here you wouldn't have considered it a cross post if you had posted it. Let the rules apply fairly. Please and thank you

Why not answer the question? Wouldn't an accepted term in the investment industry be found on industry related web sites? The first five hits not being from investment industry Web sites was enough to show me you really didn't know what you were talking about...

You didn't have ignore on when you started the thread. Take a look at my response to your original post. Nothing personal at all. Just asked why you portrayed a "same old, same old' poll as being pro-Liberal and anti-Conservative. Valid question. You ignored it.

Our responses crossed so I'll post mine again. Fear of lawsuits? How far along the process did a company need to be to be grandfathered? Doesn't grandfathering create an uneven playing field? There are a lot of reasons 'other than incompetence'.
