j44 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Alexa McDonough moves over to Cullen. Weird not going to one of the top two. Not that her support means anything really. Who think Mulcair gives Topp a top spot as a show of unity? Quote
capricorn Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Nathan Cullen should really drop out at this point. Mulcair got the most votes on the first ballot and had the largest growth on the second ballot. He has no chance of winning this thing. Moreover, it's important that the party begin showing unity and stubbornly staying into a race that you're not going to win doesn't do that. Agreed. Cullen could have ingratiated himself to the winner to perhaps being named deputy leader. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
Evening Star Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Weird not going to one of the top two. Not that her support means anything really. Who think Mulcair gives Topp a top spot as a show of unity? Topp is still not an MP. He'd be great as a top strategist or advisor though. Quote
Evening Star Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 And she is one of the more left wing MPs isn't she? Duncan is an environmentalist, mainly, as is Mulcair. Quote
j44 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Duncan is an environmentalist, mainly, as is Mulcair. I've heard more from Cullen on the environment than I have from Mulcair. Edited March 24, 2012 by j44 Quote
Evening Star Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 I've heard more from Cullen on the environment than I have from Mulcair. "Heard more"? I didn't hear anything from Cullen about anything before this leadership race. Mulcair has a record we can look at. Quote
j44 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 "Heard more"? I didn't hear anything from Cullen about anything before this leadership race. Mulcair has a record we can look at. Yeah. Heard more. I heard Cullen talk about the environment way more than I heard Mulcair talk about it during the race. I can't say I know much about Mulcair's track record but when I did hear him mention the oil sands for example he didn't come out hard (or at all). Quote
madmax Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah. Heard more. I heard Cullen talk about the environment way more than I heard Mulcair talk about it during the race. I can't say I know much about Mulcair's track record but when I did hear him mention the oil sands for example he didn't come out hard (or at all). Cullen talks about Oil Sands, Pipelines and Fisherys...Salmon.. which I think all people from BC seem to mention at one time or another. Mulcair is an environmental hawk...and it will be interesting to see how he deals with the Tarsands.... Muclairs environmental position is actually far stronger then the NDPs current policy.... Quote
stopstaaron Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 I don't see how the NDP will ever get elected as government if their position is to oppose the tar sands.. Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
Newfoundlander Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Is Audrey McLaughlin aloud to show her face at NDP events, I never hear tell of her? Quote
punked Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Is Audrey McLaughlin aloud to show her face at NDP events, I never hear tell of her? She is right there front and center on the NDP homepage. Edited March 24, 2012 by punked Quote

punked Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) More voting problems. Nope my partner voted online it took her 10 seconds. Although I am sure there are some Robocallers out there hitting the NDP website as hard as they can eh? DNS attacks happen even to the Cons. Edited March 24, 2012 by punked Quote
Newfoundlander Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 She is right there front and center on the NDP homepage. Is she aloud to speak? Quote

Boges Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Nope my partner voted online it took her 10 seconds. Then why are they so delayed. If this goes to a fourth ballot they'll voting while watching hockey. That is if dippers like hockey. Quote

stopstaaron Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 Pat Martin says he sees the attack ads already over the voting issues. I think this proves that voting online for federal elections is not a good idea Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
Boges Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Pat Martin says he sees the attack ads already over the voting issues. And the fact less than 50% of eligible voters actually voting. If it's easy as punked says, there really is no excuse on a Saturday afternoon. I think the troubling thing for the NDP is that it seems that there are two distinct camps. People who want to work with the Liberals and those that think the NDP can win a government without help from the Liberals. That's a pretty significant difference of opinion. I'd imagine the Liberals would have similar difference among their ranks. Edited March 24, 2012 by Boges Quote
stopstaaron Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 NDP & LPC unleashed this Tory majority on Canada, its their responsibility to fix this Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
