M.Dancer Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 In a sworn affidavit, Liberal Party strategist Warren Kinsella says the party's president, Alfred Apps, told him in May about "high level" discussions with NDP officials about the "creation of a new party."Read more: http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2010/06/09/liberals-ndp-merger-kinsella.html#ixzz0qOl6nVKy Cuing 3rd suicide attempt in three, two......

Topaz Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Cuing 3rd suicide attempt in three, two...... Dancer, on CTV Power Play, Clark got an email from Apps saying that it was Warren who came to HIM and he also said he told Warren it wasn't going to happen. Apparently, Warren was asked to leave by the Liberal party and there on bad feelings on Warren part, naturally. In cases like this, who knows who is lying.

Kinsella has lost his mind, so far as I can tell. This appears to be largely a manufactured news item, and I think it's pretty clear here that Kinsella was behind it.

punked Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Look if the Liberals want to be a part of the NDP it is pretty easy. They just need to get rid of their Liberal membership and take out a NDP I don't see the problem. They don't need to have talks in backrooms, they don't need to pretend they are "talking with the NDP" or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Ashley Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) Cuing 3rd suicide attempt in three, two...... At this rate there may be enough former aids and executives from the liberal party to start something up. Talk about self fullfilling prophesy.. come one come all to the Social Party.

They don't need to have talks in backrooms, they don't need to pretend they are "talking with the NDP" or anything like that. It's fairly obvious it was a joke. When it first came on the news last night, it was announced that this secret cabal of negotiators were planning on calling it the "Liberal Democrats". Either Kinsella has suffered some sort of severe brain injury, or this was a deliriously funny joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Dancer Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 The Funny line of this story is the Liberal precondition that the NDP renounce socialism... It would be simpler to ask the palestinians to renounce terrorism or asking layton to have his balls resewn on so that they could be cut off again...

So far as I can tell, it's as if someone wrote an Onion faux-news story, and somehow Kinsella took it seriously. The more you look at it, the more absurd it becomes.

William Ashley Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) All in all though this wouldn't be a bad thing. Perhaps they just need to understand GOVERNMENT IS SOCIALISM OR CORRUPTION (serving self interest rather than public (society's) interest. And society can be served by providing individuals with individual freedoms and access to self employment and trade.

Ummmmm you might not know this but the NDP got rid of the socialism platform and embraced a mixed economy when they were the CCF in 1956. So maybe you should catch up on your politics a little or just keep showing you are an uneducated voter. Maybe you can go read the Winnipeg Declaration and you know catch up on 50 odd years of Canadian politics. You can keep attacking like we live in 1950.

I have been to convention, I have been in the NDP we stopped arguing about this 40 years ago. There are those who believe in Socialism that is their right as party though we do not. That is the official stance we have already denounced it AGAIN GO BACK 55 YEARS TO WHEN DID IT AND READ THE PARTIES DECLARATION ON IT. Yes their is Socialist Caucus, and yes they believe in Socialism, just as their is a moderate wing and so on. We had the waffle, and many other groups who are welcome in the party. However the party itself and the majority of its members passed a resolution 55 years ago. So catch up a little bit ok?

Did'nt they crack the whip on that memeber from Manitoba(her name escapes me) who voted against the party wishes on the same sex marriage issue?

That is different, that is a leadership matter not a party one. They whip their votes yes, however all members are allowed in the party. They can caucus how they want. We also kicked out the One NDP Martin named to the Senate again a leadership matter. We don't support the Senate and as such our members should not be sitting in it. However again that is a matter of governance which stands with the leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the MichealJounals regarding the Social Credit Theory and thought it was Liberal. What is Liberal if not Socialist. Teach me please... Liberal (not the party but the actual belief) is a pretty simple one. I think John Rawl's defined it as a society or belief where the worse off are still better off in that country or under that political ideal then anywhere else. Which can mean a lot of things. It does not have to be socialist, I would say I am a Liberal but I am very far way from Socialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can do as you like in the party and bring change from with in the party however if you step outside the what the party has set as its agenda in governance and not follow the tenants the party has put you there to follow you can expect to leave. You are not making clear distinctions between those the party has funded to be in governments for forward what they believe in and those who go to meetings and put their money forward to have a right to vote to make those tenants. We are not the Conservatives or Liberals, the Leaders don't set the agendas they are their to enforce the parties beliefs as set out at conventions. I know it is a tough concept we don't elect people to make the rules, we make the rules and expect the elected officials to follow them. It is call democracy.
