cybercoma Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 I'm willing to bet the vast majority could care less. Yeah. You'er probably right. The vast majority don't even know what a constitutional monarchy is or how the Westminster system works. Regardless, it's an important point. Quote

cybercoma Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Imagine that. Everyone involved in the leadership campaign for the NDP. Didn't the Liberals just hand Justin his Crown? Quote
Bob Macadoo Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Imagine that. Everyone involved in the leadership campaign for the NDP. Didn't the Liberals just hand Justin his Crown? So where's the smear Dewar? She may be "horrible" or she may be the best Opposition MP ever.......voting record alone does not a reputation make, but the fact you jumped at Pavlov's bell tells you that attack ads work......even among the progressive.

cybercoma Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 They were involved in a leadership campaign travelling to constituencies and registering party membership. That's all part of their jobs. She wasn't doing her job. She took a vacation and decided she didn't want to do what MPs are supposed to do. Quote

Maybe a candidate. I'm not paying them to be a candidate, booster, or campaign shill. I think you're the one to think about job functions more than I if you think they are excuses. Quote

Topaz Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 As far as MP's leaving the party, I'm pretty sure the Tories are #1 on that. Quote
