Somebody got Nailed

quote Yup, good thing too, at least with third world (actually mostly 2nd world) countries Canada can get FAIR TRADE into the deal, unlike the one MORONey did with the U.S. of A., which is what Canada needs to do... Mulroney/Chretien/Martin/Harper. ITs all the same. And these deals are not good for Canada, but you are a good LibraCon. Abolishment does not require replacement.Plus very stupid, but essentially Correct... Now this is getting very silly. The Liberals are not the "ordinary peoples party". The annointed one, Mr. Ignatieff was not even supported by the local riding association. The Annointed one never became leader through an election either. This is top down stuff. Not that its wrong or right, its just that the Liberal party has little in common with "ordinary People" when it comes to the party and its practices. I feel for you. But its ok to dream.

Who would have thought that MORE TORY TRICKS would mean Turning Tricks... LOL. Congrats to Harpers Right Hand Man.

Yeah, thanks alot, never thought that the "Unreported Crime" was that which lies within the Conservative Government and Conservative Party. Lock em all up, someone has to go into those prisons. Why not the Cons.

Like what? Exactly what do the NDP have to lose now, that isn't up for grabs in every election. Every election is the same for the NDP. It makes no difference. Except they are the party that can't go back to the supporters with nothing but hat in hand. Unlike the Liberals.

I wonder if Liberals and Conservatives can share Jail Cells, like they share Senate Seats

An Escort of the Conservative "Fixer" who receives 20% of a cut is irrelevant? Are you that naive?

Lets have some Corporate Tax Cuts. IF Canadas at war and needs these new Fighter Jets , we can't have Canadian Banks and Insurance Companies, let alone the Oil Companies pay their share. Please, lets give these corporations a break. Canada is only at War in Afghanistan and now enforcing the No Fly zone in Libya. Banks and Corporations can't afford to pay their fair share of these expeditions. Corporate tax cuts now, Make the people pay.

All Papers like a good scandal. Not just the Liberal Ones. The National Post is a pretty piss poor paper when it comes to investigative Journalism, but if there are Busty Hookers involved... They will be there.

RIDDING RIDDING RIDDING RIDDING MUWHHAAAAAAAUUUU

I know so many people getting top notch medical care here and quick service that it is always troubling to see someone fall through the cracks. I had to use our medical services this year. I was in and out in under 1 hour, and that includes, seeing the doctor, getting my prescriptions filled and having xrays done. The looked up the last time I used their services... it was 1997 lol. Meanwhile, I know so many people with Cancer, heart surgery etc, and they are getting super care and treatment.

Conservative Hack

With a long history in the Conservative Party, the "FIXER" is a Conservative Operative. The FIXER is your guy. Enjoy.

Those are Traditional NDP polling numbers. I believe they went into the 2008 election at 13% and everyone said they were going to lose seats. Apparently u believe everything you read and headlines made by corporate media. The Liberals Passed the Corporate tax cuts. Corporate Tax cuts are part of the Liberal Doctrine. To say they are not is Hypocritical. The NDP has opposed the Corporate Tax cuts. Not the Liberals. The Liberals are hypocritical enough to say they are against these tax cuts, even though there is nothing they can do about them. A traditional Liberal Campaign would be to rage against the Corportate Tax Cuts they supported, then get into office and offer their own brand of NEW and BETTER Corporate Tax Cuts and leave the current corporate tax cuts in place. The Liberals cannot be trusted on this file. It is not imporatant to them, and it undermines their corporate base. Campaigning and spinning is one thing. It may work in the electoral game. Only during an election would the Liberals be against corporate tax cuts, especially ones they can do nothing about, let alone voted for. Integrity is another thing. There isn't any track record to believe the Liberals on Corporate tax cuts. The LPC can throw all the mud at Layton to inspire their base, or try to stir up the mud in the NDP rank and file. However, I would suggest that the NDPers I communicate with, are more of the mindset of Punked, when it comes to the Integrity of the NDP and Jack Layton. Only Liberals seem to have their tits in a knot over what the NDP does. The NDP rank and file, well, they appear like they are going to the polls.

The Liberals were not attempting to negotiate. Ignatieff had said "your time is up" and went on the campaign trail. For all intensive purposes the election was on cause the Liberals wanted one. Then their poll numbers started to PLUMMET. Regardless the NDP secured a deal that was positive to the public and needed. They turned the CPC from ignoring the needs of EI to supporting EI reform and helping the people in need. While the CPC campaigned against EI, they actually were doing the opposite, regardless of what that Idiot Finley was saying. She is a clueless Cabinet Minister. So against her wishes, the people benefited and that was because of the NDP cutting a deal. Up until then the NDP had nothing to show for being in office. However, if you look at the LPC record after 4.5 years of Conservative government, they still have NOTHING to show. There is no reward in being dead wood.

HUH? I have been reading this thread, and while I see punked as a vocal NDPer, its clear he made his points that the "4th Party" was able to squeeze the juice out of the lemon with as little as 29 seats and with as many as 39 seats. Yet somehow in 4 years, the Liberals with 77 seats and up haven't been able to get a plug nickle? I have never read such a defeatist attitude. No wonder the Liberal Party has stunk.

Conservatives are going to the polls.... Just like they wanted.

Sounds like a Conservative Senator in Waiting.

You don't need an EarthQuake or Tsunami to have a nuclear catastrophy. Nuclear power is not safe. Its damn Dangerous. We limit the risk , but the risk is always there and never goes away. That is why Private Nuclear facilities are NEVER on the hook for any damage they cause.

Short of the Census, This would be Liberal Policy. Especially the selling out of Canadian Resources. Mulroney did the FTA with the US, NAFTA was done with Chretien and since then, both Liberal and Conservative Governments have been rushing out to third world countries for the next lopsided trade deal. The Chretien Government, the Martin Government, the Mcguinty Government, the Harris Government, The Romanov Government,the Doer Government, the Campbell Government, the Wall Government, the Darrel Dexter Government.... Shocking, just shocking... This is government accountability and corruption that should make Reformers upset. But they lost their Reformist vision long long ago. Corruption is not a left right issue, but the fact that the Conservatives defend it, is very troubling. There certainly is. The Senate needs to be abolished, otherwise it will be filled with Liberal Corrupt and stupid people. Record $56 Billion is fiscal incompetence. Trashing the UN and undermining Canada at the same time is political incompetence. Being in Bed with Corporations, leaves the Liberals sharing the same bed and uncomfortable as the "other lover".

Not even Harper was an Apologist for torture, or torture light.

Then u have little understanding of what its like to be a New Democrat. You don't join the NDP for Fame and GLory. Its hard work. Its about doing the right thing and putting up with alot of misguided shit from the Media and pundits and hacks. Its about doing this as the 4th party. None of this is different then the same shit that Stephen Harper has to put up with. But people expect the #1 and #2 parties to be the tweedle dee and tweedle dum of federal politics. There is something different that makes one fight uphill in the 4th party. Fact is Jack will leave on his own terms and not Tim Powers nor some other tory hacks comments or spinning. My Guess is Jack will do what he always does. Take the party up another notch when everyone else tells him it can't be done. I put the NDP anywheres from 27 to 50 seats in the next election depending on how the campaign goes. None of those factors would make any bearing on whether jack chooses to retire or not. I don't see it, he has way to much fight and is a solid campaigner. But one day everyone will have to hang up the gloves. My Guess is if the Cons go down, So does Harper.

There u go again....

Nonsense. Iggy is to the Far right and often further to the Right then Harper. This happens when you live 30 years outside of Canada. You want to drum up fear. .... Maybe its Iggy who has to go.

Well said
