WWWTT Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 But in general we have this.... No, you have that. But the generalization is there. Going back to the original comment about the 45% in Alberta being lefties, I don't think you can round up all the voters and pen them up in either a right or left box from the diagram above.

waldo Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 Don't worry. They'll have their "truth" ads when Harper calls for the election after balancing the budget and having a surplus in the spring. People will forget all about the programs that were cut and the temporary foreign workers that are taking our jobs and the criminals he appointed to the Senate and the legislation that he wrote to make it easier to cheat elections and the phone calls that were made in 2011 to mislead voters to the wrong polls and $15 orange juices and the gutting of waterway regulations and the billions of dollars in jets that we still don't have and the advertising for a work-training program that never existed and the gerrymandering of electoral districts and all the legislation shot down but he supreme court and now the senate. People don't care. They gave him a majority when the Conservatives were found in contempt of Parliament. We will have another Conservative government unless something drastic happens. granted, there's no active campaign... but a ton of those ads came in recent winter months; i.e., Canadians weren't particularly busy with warm outdoor activities taking them away their tee-vees and the incessant play of those relatively recent Harper Conservative "truth ads". I'm somewhat surprised the ads don't seem to be having any impact. The prior 308 aggregate I posted (Dec 19th update) had Liberals @ 34%... the most recent 308 aggregate I just posted has the Liberals now @ 36%. I share your cynicism and have repeatedly suggested the strong likelihood that vote-splitting (coupled with the new ridings) will probably, again, push Harper Conservatives ahead. "Unless something drastic happens"??? Like... strategic/cooperative nominations? Like... rattling the coalition drumbeat? Like... a merger of equals? Quote

WWWTT Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Justin has all the momentum. I have talked to may young people who have never voted who are itching at the chance to vote for Justin, someone who they can finally relate to. You could be right.

On Guard for Thee Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Is this a joke or is your post as stupid and insulting as it sounds? I'm betting the latter. Stupidity is usually easy enough to see, and certainly is in this case. Quote
-TSS- Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 In a normal democracy decade is a time people get bored with their government and vote for a change fir the sake of change. A government gets re-elected after being a decade in power only when the alternative is perceived even worse and more incompetent or, as is the case in FPTP-electoral systems, the opposition is split.

socialist Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Posted April 17, 2014 This is another reason why Justin wins in 2015. The man has empathy, compassion for his fellow man. He's an ordinary Joe and young people resonate with Justin. Could you see Harper doing this? I couldn't. Justin is connecting with average Joe Canadian. Libs probably win between 170-190 seats in 2015. Harper looks tired in seems to have political fatigue. I don't know if he has it in him to campaign again especially against a young energetic Justin. I like how things are transpiring. I called it earlier that the CPC majority would be a 1 time anomaly. http://www.mtlblog.com/2014/04/justin-trudeau-helps-disabled-montreal-man-at-jarry-metro-station/ Quote Thankful to have become a free thinker.
Guest Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Well, it won't be all bad if he does win. He likes pipelines and he likes assisted suicide. Edit> It's just been pointed out to me that the Libs like assisted suicide. Not necessarily Justin. Edited April 17, 2014 by bcsapper Quote

On Guard for Thee Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Yes I prefer to sip a beer as well. Especially these days with these local breweries. And you're right the war on drugs is a bust, and that's not meant to be a play on words. Finally the powers that be are comimg to realize it. Quote

Argus Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Is he really that good or has his name helped him? He's good looking and charismatic. There's no evidence he's particularly insightful, intelligent, or capable. Liberals are hoping style will be a substitute for the lack of substance.

Keepitsimple Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) In the few times that Trudeau has been allowed to speak unscripted, he seems to have had to issue clarifications each time. When "forced" to actually answer questions from reporters, he has proven to be a very uninspiring speaker, with lots of "ums" and "ers". In Question Period - he doesn't take the time - or doesn't have the ability to memorize his questions and has to read almost word for word - showing that he just doesn't intuitively understand the subject matter. As his background suggests, he either is too lazy to work at his craft - or he's just not that bright. It really is hard to tell. Edited April 18, 2014 by Keepitsimple Quote Back to Basics
Big Guy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 For a guy who is labelled as lazy, inarticulate, egotistical, entitled, born to riches, prone to mistakes, and obviously not a leader, I wonder why both the NDP and Conservatives seem to spend so much time criticizing him. A person with all of those weaknesses and lacking all those leadership skills and the leader of the 3rd party, why are those on both the right and left spending so much time on him? He can't be a threat of leading the Liberals to a victory in the next election - can he? Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

And Justin is going to start patting Harper on the back and say the PM is doing a good job because he's not worried? Is this a real serious debate tactic your using?
