Tories do the shuffle

[Topaz]

Harper hads made Baird the House Leader, Jay Hill is/has left the party and Strahl is taking over Transport and the Parl. Sec of Indians Affiars is taking over as minister. The way Baird has acted this last session, he doesn't deserve the job. It isn't a wonder Canada is so messed up with the three left-over Harris guys running the country. http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/844706--baird-named-house-leader-in-mini-shuffle

I am going to enjoy Baird in one way olny in one way!!

He will have a few maltdons = very bad PR!!

[Jack Weber]

We should have a count down to see how long it takes until his head explodes...

[Molly]

Baird is (unfortunate) but I don't mind seeing Strahl doing the nations business.

Probably part of Harpers plan to cause an election. Baird doesn't have the tempermant to handle this role. Me thinks we'll see some good stuff in the media soon.

[Mr.Canada]

Baird did a great job in Transport last session. Was fluid, answered questions, was accessible to the media all the time. Was basically Deputy PM the whole time. He's a passionate man, he loves this country. We need more politicians with his amount of heart leading this country. Not more aristocrats looking down their noses at us from Oxford and Harvard.

[Smallc]

Yes, his appearance at committee was his crowning achievement in the role.

When I hear Rae or Ignatieff speak I cannot even tell if the like Canada at all. They speak so as a matter of factly that I wonder if they're talking about the morning nosh they just partook in. Devoid of any feeling or passion at all but their message is loud and clear. Increase spending to social programs, slash military spending and raise taxes for the middle class, the Liberal way.

Talk accessible. How about to Jaffer? He loves his country, I would think all those politicians love their country. Baird comes off as arrogant, smart-mouth and a few other things like the most of the Tories.

WHEN did Iggy say he would raise taxes on the middle class? I've heard him say he would raise the GST back up, only if the recession didn't correct itself and to try to get rid of the Tory deficit if he had too. The thing about social programs if the people are happy and content, then you have a happy country. Maybe you don't need the social programs but there are many that do. Consider yourself fortunate.

We'd better legalize pot soon. That way Canadians would feel better about being broke and be happy the services are free.

[fellowtraveller]

to try to get rid of the Tory deficit if he had too

isn't that the same deficit Ignatieff insisted Harper create as part of The Great Coalition platform?

Or is it another, more conveninet deficit?

[Smallc]

The Great Coalition? Is that the new Tory talking point?

We could cal it Le Grande Coalition if you'd like.

You do remember the Coalition, it was not that long ago.....

I'm just wondering, since with falling poll numbers, Harper mentions the coalition every chance he gets.

I've noticed that ,too...

Yes, it happens every time his poll numbers start to fall...except I don't think it works anymore.

Well it works with the nutter base...But these are the same people who barely have a toe hold on reality as it relates to the census and the secretly created Canadian GESTAPO coming to get their guns because of the information they've devulged...

[Jerry J. Fortin]

Harper does react to polling information, that is clear. So would any government, it is how they react that counts.

Link to your data on Harpers comments? Or is that the 'anecdotal' part of your analysis?

Cons were polling 62% in the days after the coalition was featured heavily in the media, with three Canadian political leaders grinning ear to ear a few weeks after losing at the polls.

I guess that means 62% of Canadians are nutters who barely have a toe hold on reality.

[Smallc]

I don't remember 60%...around 50% maybe. A great deal has happened since then. The UK now has a coalition government, and the Liberal party has a new leader. Harper (as he has been lately) is barking up the wrong tree.
