On Guard for Thee Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 NO way no how...we ALL know , well in fact we are told by righties, that this could not possibly be true. Liberals getting hammered on CBC? Will FOX Noise...er Sun News tell us too? BC will show up telling its all because the CBC is controlled by the government. Hard to figure those righties sometimes.

guyser Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Nice strawman. The complaint is that CBC the has a left wing bias. That generally means they choose the NDP over the Liberals and oppose the Conservatives. It does not mean they consistently support a single party.Just the other day it was argued here that CBC NEVER comes down hard on the Liberals. Strawman? ...er no. PLenty of those on the right believe just that. Quote
Boges Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 FTR I don't believe the CBC can't be objective (though they do have an obvious Liberal bias). I mostly just object to a Network that seems to feel entitled to $1 billion to produce sub par programming and news while being able to compete with other private broadcasters. Complete thread drift though. Quote
Queenmandy85 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 It is interesting to reflect on some of the more successful politicians who jumped from one party to another. Scott Brison, Peter MacKay, Stephen Harper, John Diefenbaker, Thomas Mulcair,and Stockwell Day, for starters. Quote A Conservative stands for God, King and Country
On Guard for Thee Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Today it was verified that Eve intends to run against Oliver. Running against the current Finance Minister, notwithstanding that he won the last time by only 4,000 votes, could be questionable. She does have to earn the nomination and will probably run against income splitting - perceived as OIiver's decision. Well, it looks like the anti-Eve talking points have been distributed; Turncoat, out-of-control, dodgy tactics, blind ambition, a woman "scorned", too good looking to be smart, etc. More to come. Oh - watching TV coverage - a Conservative spokesperson implied that Eve had something to do with those robocalls and Michael Sona. I think they will have to be careful about the Sona thing since the PMO has been selling him as a solo, rogue, overenthusiastic and misguided Conservative campaign worker. But - am looking forward to future attempts to demean her credibility. Ain't politics fun? I doubt any objective person is buying that version of Sona. Quote

Switching from PC, to Reform to CPC doesn't really count since they've pretty much merged into one currently. I would also argue with the sentiment that Scott Brison is "successful". Quote

Spiderfish Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Looks like it's going to be an uphill battle for her... Liberal MPP Appalled By Tory Defector's Plan To Run For Federal Grits If Eve Adams becomes the federal Liberal candidate in the Toronto riding of Eglinton-Lawrence, local MPP Mike Colle says it will be over his dead body. Colle, who's represented the riding provincially for the Liberals for 20 years, says the Conservative defector can't be allowed to simply parachute into a party and a constituency to which she has no ties. "I just find the whole thing preposterous," Colle said in an interview Tuesday. "I mean, that a Harper Tory from Mississauga all of a sudden is going to run here in the middle of Toronto with no connections and no awareness? You know, it's a real insult to the local Liberals in this community." Quote
Queenmandy85 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) This does lend credence to the charge that Trudeau does lack judgement but time will tell. As for Dimitri Soudas, he doesn't have to do anything. The mere possibility will cause Harper concern. Harper will have to factor in those possibilities for election planning.

Topaz Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Joe Oliver, may not be re-elected because of his view on income-splitting. I don't know enough about his riding, is it middle-incomers or high? Which even Liberal gets it, they can pound the income-splitting on him and compare him with the former minister, who was against it. Quote

The former minister had his doubts on it but the income splitting plan was altered in order to assuage most of those concerns.

PIK Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Either trudeau parachutes her in or she loses the nomination. This just shows that Trudeau has no idea what he is doing and should resign. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

Bob Macadoo Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Either trudeau parachutes her in or she loses the nomination. This just shows that Trudeau has no idea what he is doing and should resign. Why does it show poor judgement? A sitting deputy crossed the floor, he gets to pick the brain of a PMO prodigy, and basically gets to stick his tongue out at Harper.....at no cost so long as he doesn't endorse her in the nomination. Let her try...she's up against a community leader....she sells a few more memberships....and goes down....showing media he does allow "open" nominations. So long as he stays out of the riding it's a politically savvy (ie. Completely sleazy/slimy) play. Quote
The_Squid Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Grab the popcorn! What I enjoy most is the absolute two-faced nature of the Liberals and Trudeau. She jumped ship after she found out she was being turfed. Trudeau could admit that he's playing politics, he is a politician after all... be glad you got some insiders... proudly declare that, despite her baggage, maybe her butt can keep a seat warm and give you a vote in the House that you may not have had previously. All is fair in winning the country! But instead, Trudeau tells bold-faced lies hoping that only people who are politically informed (a minority of Canadians) will notice the hypocrisy. Not many would be capable of declaring, with a face that betrayed not a hint of the gut-emptying shame that roiled within, how “impressed” he had been in recent weeks with Ms. Adams’ “commitment to public service.” In a particularly painful flourish, the Liberal leader paid tribute to the amount of “soul-searching” she must have gone through before taking such a momentous decision. At a guess, a search of Ms. Adams’s soul could be conducted in the course of your average smoke break, if not between cigarettes. (Soul-searching? Are we entirely certain that when she looks in the mirror, an image appears?) Yet Mr. Trudeau professed to be delighted with his new recruit, as untroubled by her serial loyalties as by the voluminous baggage she brings. http://news.nationalpost.com/2015/02/09/andrew-coyne-justin-trudeau-delivers-a-crawlingly-demeaning-performance-while-welcoming-eve-adams/ Quote

PIK Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 And looking at his senior advisor butts, that tells you something anti gun, anti hunter ,anti oil and the architect of the ONT LIBERAL GOPVERNMENT policies. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
