punked Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Having built up employment insurance reform as the single issue that avoided a summer election, Liberals now say it's not an issue worthy of triggering a vote in the fall.Liberal Senator David Smith, a co-chairman of the national Liberal campaign, said even if his party's talks with the government fail to produce an agreement, that alone will not be enough to warrant an election. That still leaves open the possibility of a no-confidence vote on other issues, such as the state of the economy, but the senior Liberal is clearly throwing cold water on election speculation as MPs prepare for a caucus retreat in Sudbury. Seriously???????? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politi...article1267252/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capricorn Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Ha!ha!ha! That's exactly what some clued in members on this forum have been saying for some time, that there will be no election over EI. Ignatieff huffin' and puffin' that the government is on probation, then true to his puffin-lovin' nature, runs to hide the excrement, with some help from Senator Davis of course.

I have been saying this for a while. Apparently Iggy's big bisuness friends don't want an election and where the money goes Iggy goes. "They did it at the Canadian Council of (Chief) Executives, there was three presidents of major banks who stood up in the room – and this is not from cabinet so I can talk about it – stood up and said, 'Ignatieff, don't you even think about bringing us to an election. We don't need this. We have no interest in this. And we will never fund your party again.'" http://www.lindamcquaig.com/Columns/ViewColumn.cfm?REF=103 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepitsimple Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 It's becoming fairly clear that Mr. Ignatieff is nothing but a figurehead - an empty vessel that can be filled by those Liberal backroom boys, operating in the shadows. The PuppetMasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PuppetMasters. That's what happens when you bypass the democratic process and install a Count as leader. I can't believe Liberal strategists thought that regal Russian blood and international allure would sweep Canadians off their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
