Cameron Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) NDP Leader Jack Layton is refusing to rule out a coalition government with Stéphane Dion's Liberals if that's what it takes to oust Prime Minister Stephen Harper.Blasting Harper on everything from the environmental damage in the Alberta tar sands to the war in Afghanistan, Layton said this morning it's time to move Canada in a different direction. Asked on CTV's Canada AM if he would "entertain even the notion of entering into a coalition with the Liberals in order to get the Conservatives out of power," the New Democrat stressed he's never allowed partisanship to trump the greater public good. Afterwards in a media conference, he refused to directly address the coalition question, saying only that voters would decide the make up of the next government. Instead, he has been targeting Harper over their foreign and domestic policy differences.Repeating his pledge to immediately withdraw Canadian troops from Afghanistan, he said it's time "to chart a new course." Link to article The second quote really got me. Interesting insight on what he was thinking during the election.

Oleg Bach Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 Layton? Is a hobbiest and communism enthrawls his every thought. With all communists and collectives...there is but one dream they have - that we are all equal - equally poor! While he can go off like Ralph Nader and live in a little co-op in Toronto but still take holidays if far off luxury resorts - resorts that the other co-op members will never see. Quote
