Would the liberals win with LeBlanc as leader?

That was his dad that was Castro's friend, and he's rather hard to get a hold of but you are certainly welcome to try...

I'll bet the helmet on Mr.No Facts head allows him to receive messages from Elvis!!!!

I see Mr. No Facts/Non Sequitor has done what he always does...

Threadscat?

OK...

I've listened to him, I saw how he interacted with the audience, kinda like that Obama speech which brought him to prominence back when, it made the difference for me...

It takes more then being a good public speaker to be Prime Minister.

This video goes a bit overboard but it does show his interview with Shelly Glover in the end which made him look really bad. I had seen him do the same thing in another interview, he needs to learn how to control himself.

A whole LOT more... Good smarts (as opposed to JUST political smarts) being the primary one I look for...

Yes, we can!

[GWiz]

Yes, we can!

No... The one at the Democratic convention back in '04...

I already told you...

It's basically as simple as that... Corporations winning against Countries is nothing new... They rely on turning the people against the interests of the country all over the world, it's VERY profitable you know...

I see. It's the evils of corporations. All such troubles stem from those nasty capitalists!

Once again we are reminded of the difference between classic and modern liberalism. So much for "laissez-faire". I guess we really just have two socialist parties - one pink and the other showing just a broad hint of rose...eh! (sorry, couldn't resist the pun!)

I don't see Leblanc as a likely fit at PM. The guy the Liberla could get into that seat is Frank McKenna, but he has reviewed his options and wisely given the Lberal leadership a wide berth.

Justin Trudeau would be a dream candidate for Harper to run against.

Then why doesn't he move to Montreal?

Or if *gasp* he ran outside of Alberta he might loose his seat because people really don't like him and it takes him running in the easiest seat for him to win because frankly people don't like him.

Harper run in Toronto or Montreal against Mr. Trudeau or Ignatieff and see your socks get knocked off. Buggar.

Having 30% of people like you means 70% of people don't like you. Get the drift.

Is there some reason Harper can't win a seat in the Town he was born and raised in? Toronto?

Do it up run against Ignateiff in Toronto --- or what is he not liked by the people he grew up with-- maybe people know a little something about the guy he was able to hide later in life once he perfected his skills of lying and coning people?

People usually drop out for a reason?

Not at all... Nothing wrong with "business" (Corporations Included) unless profit turns to greed... I'm a devout "capitalist" myself so I certainly have no problem with that...

IMO there should be the same sort of seperation between state and business as there is (or at least should be) between church (read religion) and state...

Of course in reality it's somewhat more complicated than that... Even to start to explain my views in detail would take a book...

But as a simple, easy to understand, comparative example of my thinking:

I have no problem with our Government aiding in the funding of an entity like CIDA (seperation of church and state)... I had no problem with the Government having a grant program to assist home owners in upgrading their homes to be more energy efficient which in turn helps local businesses doing the upgrading (seperation of state and business)...

Once again we are reminded of the difference between classic and modern liberalism. So much for "laissez-faire". I guess we really just have two socialist parties - one pink and the other showing just a broad hint of rose...eh! (sorry, couldn't resist the pun!)

No problem...

From my point of view I think that the person elected in a riding should represent the people that elected him/her, the people in his/her riding (the constuent) AHEAD of any party affiliation... Right now it's the reverse, party before people if you will...

I've always felt that way so nothing has changed for me between old and new...

I also feel that what's best for the country as a whole should trump what's good for a party, and good (as well as bad) policies are NOT the domain of ANY one particular political party... The party in power should therefore make what's good for the country it's primary purpose not as it is now looking and doing ONLY what is good for the party...

Utopian concepts I know, so don't bother telling me all the reasons these things CAN't be done...

You and Harper might be in for a big surprise...
