Mr.Canada Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Great very soon Layton will become PM. I cannot wait for it. A couple years of enduring Jack will ensure they never get this type of support ever again. With the LPC destroyed that leaves the CPC to rule for at least a decade with a steady stream of majorities. Bring on PM Jack Layton!

I read the record in Hansen when TOMMY DOUGLAS voted against such a measure TWICE. How dumb can one be. Tommy had a majority and when Conservatives in BC and Albert passed sterilization laws Tommy didn't. Why is that if he wanted to do Mr. Canada? He could have, he had a huge majority, most western provinces at the time (lead by CONSERVATIVE) parties did it, it was popular. Why didn't he do it? ACTIONS SPEAK. Yours show you are a LIAR!

lukin Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 You have very little credibility. You obviously have a weak grasp of Canadian politics. It's a shame. Frank Graves is nothing more than a Liberal shill. How can you not agree with that. You and punked are drinking way too much kool-aid.

CANADIEN Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Tommy Douglas wanted to sterilize the mentally disabled so they couldn't procreate. A real humanitarian there. Correction. Tommy Douglas proposed sterelization for the mentally disabled while writng his MA thesis. Later one, as a politician, he never proposed the idea, and in fact rejected two proposals from the province's Board of Health to enforce sterelization. Unlike some people on this site, he seems to have been able to change his opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not forget he Pushed the BC NDP to end forced sterilization when they came into power in the province in the 70s. Only an idiot would repeat that Lie after I have called him on it 1000 times.

Harry Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) CTV's Robert Fife just said that the Cons may lose 7 seats in Quebec to the NPD. Compliments of nicky. My own hunch is that the Cons may lose more than that in Quebec. Edited May 1, 2011 by Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Let me just come out and say it. Contrary to nit, punk and Harry, while I do wholeheartedly support the NDP, they absolutely will not win as many seats as you guys are predicting. I'm willing to bed when all is said and done, they will have roughly 26% of the popular vote and a similar number of seats (80?). I don't see them breaking 80. All the hype is great, but I'm pessimistic about it materializing. Nevertheless, I will be at the polls tomorrow voting for my local NDP candidate, Liberals be damned. I don't care if they were closer to winning the riding in 2008. They don't represent what I want for Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) This poll and Layton skyrocketing away from Harper in the Leadership Index explain the reasons the Conservatives don't want to talk about the polls today - it's easy to understand why.

I don't care if they were closer to winning the riding in 2008. They don't represent what I want for Canada. Agreed and agreed. I too am voting NDP, and I'm gratified by the swell of pre-election support. But I'm dubious about how it will ultimately play out. I'm assuming a notable increase in seats, but certainly not at the level some are predicting. Though to be fair, if anyone had predicted the current situation even a couple of months ago, I would have scoffed at that too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANADIEN Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I think the NDP will get about 28% of the vote tomorrow, with about 65 seats. The big unknown is Quebec. it is clear now that the NDP will get the highest percentage, but by how much remains unclear. Most importantly, I think the NDP vote will be highly concentrated in urban areas - Montreal, Gatineau, and (a bit surprizingly) Quebec City. Big victories in the ridings they'll win, but I don't think they'll get more than a dozen. Or I could be wrong on the concentration, and they could get about 30 seats. Which would put them at about 80 for the whole country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallc Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 According to the Manitoba local I talk to often, Gary Doer's "fine job" was vastly overrated. Then you talk to the wrong local. Greg Sellinger will lose the next election simply because he isn't Gary Doer. Gary Doer did an excellent job here. He brought us from near zero economic growth to being the fastest growing province economically before the recession came. Right now were still middle of the pack. He took us from zero population growth to having our largest growth years ever. He took us from a healthcare system that was very very broken to one that works generally well for all Manitobans. We won't do any better for a long, long, time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
