Topaz Posted April 21, 2011 Report Posted April 21, 2011 Sometime in the future the Conservatives will have a new leader and that leader will hopefully, be easier to work with the other parties and perhaps they could change their name back to the PCP when all the reformers are gone. Quote
ToadBrother Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 Too much bad blood, not enough respect for each other. The Liberals have spent fifteen years demonizing the reformers, then the alliance and then the conservatives as evil extremists, hatemongers and retrogrades. Conservatives hate them now. We were run by an effective Tory-Liberal coalition for two years, and it only really began to breakdown late last year. Quote
jbg Posted April 22, 2011 Report Posted April 22, 2011 The Bloc is no threat to the government of Canada, so I wish Harper would drop the coalition bit, its getting sicking. You're against Harper. I'm sure Harper's minions will disregard your predilictions about an effective campaign position as being "sicking" (sic). And maybe you'll learn to speak Canadian along the way.

Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

Everyone bitches about Harper being a hardass. Well, guess what, Canadians LIKE hardasses! Trudeau was a hardass Turner wasn't Mulroney was a hardass Campbell - not hardly Clark? LOl Chretien was definitely a hardass Harper - hardass Dion and Ignatieff? LOL And Canadians have consistently said in surveys, by a huge margin, that Harper is a better leader and PM than any of the alternatives. So you can wish away for some hand-wringing compromiser, but they're never going to get elected unless there are no tough guys running against them. Canadians WANT their leader to be tough SOB Edited April 22, 2011 by Scotty Quote It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy
