maldon_road Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 Dion needs a star candidate to keep a safe Liberal seat?Real strong leadership. A strong leader woulda told Garneau to kiss off, but hey we ain't talkin' about principles... Principles? Liberals? They should run Garneau in Outremont. So long as it remains NDP it will be a burr up Dion's ass. Quote If the men do not die well it will be a black matter for the king that led them to it.
Michael Bluth Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 Principles? Liberals? They should run Garneau in Outremont. So long as it remains NDP it will be a burr up Dion's ass. If running in Outremont had been presented as an option to Garneau something tells me he would have stayed retired. Westmount - Ville Marie is a much safer bet.

Safer? Gad! That has to be the safest seat in Canada! Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us

Michael Bluth Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 And of course the Cons would never go for a star candidate would they? Missing the point, yet again. I detect a trend here. Earlier this month Garneau announced his retirement from politics because he didn't feel part of the Dion team. Now he's back and coincidentally in a much, much, much safer riding? That part, which you conveniently omitted, would not happen with the Conservatives. Quote No one has ever defeated the Liberals with a divided conservative family. - Hon. Jim Prentice

Sure it is. But this guy is supposed to be one of their "stars" and all he can run in is one of the safest seats in the country for a Lib?

Fortunata Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 That part, which you conveniently omitted, would not happen with the Conservatives. Of course it wouldn't. They just appoint to the senate those whom they want; they don't have to run them, even in a safe seat. Or appoint them from the Liberal benches. Good point. Quote
jbg Posted October 20, 2007 Report Posted October 20, 2007 It's all a Tory plot. Harper wants to have the Libs defeat the crime bill because he wants to see Dion go across the country explaining how it is okay for a 65-yr old guy to have sex with a 14-yr old girl. Good point. Dion should have to explain tha one to the electorate. Or a host of other Liberal idiocies such as Sponsorship, language laws, the gun registry, etc. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

August1991 Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Posted October 21, 2007 Garneau's little retirment will definitely become an issue. Seems like the Liberals are going to be happy to hold all the seats they have. No thought to actually winning extra seats. Wow, aim high Dion. aim high! Garneau lives in the riding of Westmount. It makes sense for him to run there and the only surprise is why Dion objected to his candidacy before.Here is the profile of the riding. It's about 40% Catholic and 10% Protestant; about 70% bilingual, 20% English only and 7% French only. In the past, the Liberals gave the riding to an anglophone. Garneau seems an appropriate fit. Both Brian Mulroney and Justin Trudeau live in the riding. Quote
Pliny Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Or maybe use an allusion that somebody might be able to understand without further explanation? That sure is some nuanced statment you made there. Ahhh, what classicaly arrogant behaviour. Ignore the polls. Ignore the pundits. Just keep insulting people and feeling superior. Do you properly understand this? The Liberals have lost public favour because of their unfounded arrogance. That arrogance cost them a majority in 2004. That arrogance cost them government in 2006. That arrogance could relegate them to third party status in the coming election. Ahhh.. but they could remain arrogant! Don't be giving them any pointers, Michael. Anyone heard anything about the Throne Speech lately? Nyuk! Nyuk! Edited October 21, 2007 by Pliny Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.
Fortunata Posted October 21, 2007 Report Posted October 21, 2007 If Steve manages to bring his government down with his dictatorial ultimatums, could the GG go to the official opposition and see if they could, in coalition with the NDP, form the government? I would love to see the look on Steve's face if that were to happen. It would be what he deserves. Quote

I would love to see the look on Steve's face if that were to happen. It would be what he deserves. The GG could ask the Libs and Dippers to form a government but I think between them they only add up to about the same at the current CPC. They would have to indicate that they were prepared to do it but the numbers seem too low to have any chance of success. (And there are policy differences) Of course if Steph wants to commit political suicide he could form a government with the help of the Blockers.

I would love to see the look on Steve's face if that were to happen. It would be what he deserves. Do explain how that would work. The non-partisan GG would approach Steph and Jack and say ... "I know you didn't want to defeat the Government but you voted that you didn't have confidence in the Government just because you didn't like Steve's dictatorial ultimatums. Damn the Constitution or rule of law. I'll ask you to form a coalition government just to see the look on Steve's face. I think that's what he deserves." Not likely to happen. Darn and I'm sure Michaelle really wants to see Steve get what he deserves. Especially given how clearly she deserved to become GG.
