They have a open commusnist in thier ranks right now, that one that dissed out soldiers during vimy ridge and the 1st war and how the commies were the real winners. And mulcair never came out to say anything on it.
Do you even know what it means to be a communist, or are you just stereoptying?
-
Now there's a bit of Canadian and Liberal history I wasn't aware of. Chretien being communist stooge. I love it.
Sorry typo, I mean 1900s not 1990s.

Pure coincidence or suspicious?

You really don't know much about canadian politics. In the early to mid 1900s the CCF and NDP fought hard to expell communists from unions across canada and from within the party.Ya, because being a socialist/communist party (democratic or not) is not very appealing to most voters in Canada these days lol.
In fact, the fighting went as far as the communist party partnering with the Federal Liberals during the election in the early 1990s. The purpose of the communist-liberal partnership was to beat the CCF into submission.
Why did the Liberals joined the communist? To avoid the left wing party from stealing votes from the center oriented party.
Why were the communist fighting the CCF? Because they believe the party betrayed the marxist values. Keep in mind that CCF were more left wing than the modern NDP.
If my post seems weird it because I'm texting this.

This CBC story suggests Mulcair is trying to move them to the center.
CBC is wrong, the new preamble is to number of things:
1) updating the wording from the 20th to the 21st century.
2) clarifying the summary of the party, previously it was a few sentences blurb.
The NDP are still center-left.

Sorry, why is any of what's quoted as being written on that site being given the dignity of qualification as an opinion? There's nothing opinionated about any of it; it's nothing but mindless vitriol.

I agree - looking at some of the meme seems the author of the article is blowing it out of proportion.

These people are coming here to train, then will go back to India right ?
No. They're currently being trained by the very workers that are being fired.

Whether you loved her or hate her, at the end of the day she's still a human that fought for what she believed was right for the country at that time.

"Margaret Thatcher, one of the most important British politicians of the 20th century, died Monday morning after suffering a stroke. She was 87.
Thatcher was the first woman to become U.K. prime minister and Britain's only prime minister of the 20th century to win three consecutive terms.
After leading the Conservatives to victory in the 1979 election, Thatcher shook Britain to its economic roots in a relentless battle to restructure the country."
Regardless of political stripes, It sad to see another icon leave us soon after Ralph Klein, but I guess that's the circle of life.
How do you remember her? Or what do you remember her for?

If they were economically self-supporting I'd have no trouble agreeing with you. I have my doubts that the denizens of Attawapiskat could subsist either as hunter-gatherers or through other economic activity on the reserve.
If your community is of few dozen and isolated in the middle of nowhere, how can you honestly expect to have any reasonable economic activity? Yelling at the mining, forestry, agricultural or hydro companies aren't gonna cut it.

How many people are attending the Liberal Leadership Convention? As of Thursday night the party officials sold 225 tickets. Contrast that with the NDP who sold 4,600 tickets.
The Liberal party now has nearly 38,000 paying membership, up from 33,000 earlier this year.*

No. It's called people getting sick of Harper and embracing a young, energetic, youthful, honest, charismatic leader like Justin Trudeau. But you believe what you want to believe. I've been following politics long enough to know the CPC is done and could be relugated to third party status after 2015. That's what happens when you threaten democracy and attack unions that look after the working class.
You really don't understand Canadian politics.

I can't believe that a 22 year did all those calls across the country and I don't think most voters do.
Maybe he's really a fall guy?

It called a 'honeymoon' event.

Trudeau like Mulcair would rule with an iron fist.
All Trudea's really been doing is repeating 'feel-good' mantra without any concrete policies so I can't see him ruling with an iron fist.
-
It wont be don't worry, its all hype it already went from 300,000 people to 117,000. Trend continues it will be 30,000 less then both the NDP convention that nominated Jack Layton and the one that Nominated Mulciar.
I don't think the NDP membership ever reached 300,000, has it?
-
It seems to me that people are throwing data and graphs around without really understanding them.

Here's something interesting.
During the NDP leadership race - there were almost 130,000 card carrying membership that were able to vote. Only half of them bothered to vote - 75,000
Contrast that with the Liberals who has only 33,000 card carrying membership. Therefore you might expect only 16,000 or 20,000 Liberal card-carrying members to actually vote in the leadership process.
It really shows you how much the Liberal party has collapsed over the last 2 decades. From a strong 500,000 card carrying membership to a measly 33,000.
In fact, the liberal membership after the 2011 election was about 55,000 - they lost 22,000 card-carrying members since then.

Or in forming their own party from among their 20 some odd members, which would still be larger than the block and green party..
Or they could join the CHP, the seemingly only federal pro-life party.

Try a scientific journal, not some journalistic tabloids.

"It may not rank alongside the storming of the Bastille but a gathering of 20 or so Conservative MPs Monday night is the closest the ruling caucus has come to revolution during its seven years in power."
When the bill to criminalize selective abortion failed to pass the committee to be voted upon, well that was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not exactly a revolution within the party as seen with the Australian Labor Party. However, stranger things have happened in politics and it no exception to Canada (think the NDP result in 2011 election, who would have even predicted that at the beginning of that election?).
Could the rope that bind the merger of the Reform and PC somehow started to unravel and will continue to do so (perhaps Reform 2.0 and PC 2.0)? Or is it one of those political hiccups that will soon pass over like a nasty hang-over?

As incidents of hacking/exploits have risen considerably over the past few months.
I wonder where it originating from.

Your obvious fear of anything outside of what you think the world should be is really very sad.
It's almost as if it's existence, bothers you. In a how dare they not tell me what i want to hear sort of way, again, very sad.
Talking to yourself?

How can you compare a dictatorship country to Canada???
You're doing that, not me.
Conservative attack adds on Trudeau:Right on schedule

I cannot tell if the Tories are serious or not with that attack ad.
