It doesn't, but the Liberals need *anything* to not be labelled the weak, ineffective opposition that they truly have been. I said many times, this was a tempest in a teapot. Already out of the news. Nobody cares. The Harper haters will go on hating him. Nobody has changed their mind about anything over this issue...

So, where did the violence happen? Part of the violence happened in the murder suspect's neck when he got shot there.

The vast majority of companies don't get government subsidies. Even if they do the cost is far less than keepin git in the public sector.

Fair enough. But those enterprises go out of business and don't cost taxpayers anything. If they remain in the public sector they cost taxpayer money on and on and on and on and on....

There have definitely been cases of Canadian border guards leaving their posts out of fear for their safety. Here's a quote from a story this past March.

Yes, yes he was. Harper made the decision to get rid of Turner before any major public embarrassment. Go on him.

So you were opposed to the letter Michael Moore wrote to Canadians "warning" us about how to vote in the last election?

Fair enough....

Because he didn't call her that. Even you had to propose some misappropriate analogy to try and make the case. You sir, are far too anti-Harper to admit how weak your analogy is.

Yup. I have said it repeatedly Iggy is the best Liberal leader for Conservatives. btw. there are lots of Afghanistan threads here. I am not really interested in participating in any of them, which is why I am replying to the implications for the next election only.

That's no reason to accuse us of behaving out of ignorance or stupidity. That is arrogant and offensive. Perceived self-interest? At least it isn't arrogant and rude.

Hmmm, the Liberals won the London seat by 6,000 votes in January and the Bloc won the Quebec seat by 24,000 votes. Don't see much to be read into Liberal and Bloc wins in the by-elections.

OK But maybe the Liberals elect a pro-Afghanistan mission leader, i.e. Iggy and the Conservatives finish second in Quebec again.

The "not very Liberal" behaviour of Iggy's supporters in Montreal tells me they haven't done much to address the troubles so far.

the "afore-mentioned" "indvidual dishonesties and unprincipled compromises" are why the Liberals lost in January and why the deserve to be out of Government for an extended period. (i.e. more than two years.)

The Canadian public didn't buy that attempt at hair-splitting. You won a great moral victory with that post. Keep on winning those moral vistories and we'll keep on winning the actual elections.

I forgot arrogance is the Liberals domain. But nobody who is intelligent and thinking of the best interest of Canadians could vote Conservative. Of course you are referring to the act. If you admitted your arrogance you would truly be admitting to breaking the rules of the board and your snottish faux intellectualism. From where did you gain this enlgithenment that lower Canadians, i.e. Conservative voters, so richly need??? Have fun waiting till 2010, at the earliest, to see another Liberal Government.

Yup. Harper still got elected after the Grewal affair. Guess Canadians found they preferred the party that didn't admit to steal money from Canadian taxpayers with the Sponsorship Programme.

Wow. So Canadians who vote Conservative are necessarily arrogant, stupid or behaving from perceived self-interest. Yes you are entitled to your opinions. The sad elitism of dismissing the opinions of other Canadians who don't share your views is symbolic of the arrogance that has infected the Liberals for far too long. That's why y'all lost in Janaury. That's why y'all will lose in the spring.

Grewal deserved to go. An election was coming up. He's gone. Is that the best you have against the Conservatives? Grewal? And you wonder why there is talk of a majority in the spring.

The result was adscam. Applied to them by Liberal supporters?

The Liberals didn't cut the income tax you are referring to so Harper didn't raise it. Harper felt that Montreal deserved representation at the cabinet table. So he appointed Fortier. Chretien and Martin never recognized the important role Calgary plays in our country. The capital gains tax you are attacking him on what he might do. i.e. he *might not* fulfill his promise before the next election. Pretty weak. If that's all you can come up with bring on the election.

Yes, Garth Turner. The ultimate example of loyalty and running a tight government. I find it pretty convenient Garth will basically end up serving just long enough to become eligible for a parliamentary pension. What are the odds he won't collect the money????

Hmm, the five priorities during the eleciton were pretty obvious. Attack him on what he might do, but *scary* *scary* *scary* just ain't gonna work...

Because those of us responding to the cries of foul by the anti-harperistas aren't whiny little biotches.
