Canuck E Stan Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Geoffrey, Canuck: Did Chretien actually have a homeless advisor? I can almost believe this. I was hoping to give you the story of the Chretien and his homeless friend from a news source but I couldn't find one. In any case Chretien began relating tales of regularly chatting with a homeless friend (1996?), with whom he had spent time on the streets talking about homelessness and the economy. It all sounded like a nice story until some reporters discovered that it was not true and there was no homeless friend. Later on in the House opposition MP's would make references to Chretien's imaginary homeless friend when asking him questions.

I vaguely remember this about Chretien story, but then again not surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcqueen625 Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 I nominate the guy that does the TV commercial "hands in your pocket" He could put his hand in the pockets of the taxpayers. - I thought that was a liberal campaign ad....imagine my surprise when they kept running after the election. They would have fit right in with Paul Martin's promises he made during the campaign. Promises I might add that he had no intention of fulfilling. They were simply meant to draw votes just like Chretien's RED BOOK, full of promises that never got delivered, and we still hvae the Sea King's falling out of the sky, risking the lives of our brave servicemen & women. I'm sorry to say but getting aboard one of those death-traps would be one order I would disobey. Thing about a real scary situation, electing Jack Layton as Prime Minister. All of the promises he made he had every intention of delivering on. We think Canadian's are over-taxed now, LOOK OUT, because if anything that tax bite would increase astronomically in order to pay for all the socialist policies Layton wants the taxpayers to pay for. Universal day-care? My thought is that when my wife and I decided to have children, we looked after them by my wife staying at home since I was the one making the larger income at the time. We simply got by on less so that my children would be brought up by us as parent's not farming them off to a stranger to rear. Why should I be asked now to pay for someone else's day-care so mommy & daddy can carry on with their careers. Let them do what my wife and I did, and bring up their own children. No wonder children today have no morals and values, when mommy & daddy don't care enough to stay home and bring up their own children. They are too busy colloecting material things and teaching their children that they have no time for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there's a lot more people who are looking for splendor over their families than people would admit. Watch any financial show and they talk about the ever mounting debt of Canadians and how so many are living much too far beyond their means. If the low interest rates disappear, many of these people would go bankrupt almost overnight. I think a fair amount of people send their kids into daycare so they can enjoy more splendor. However, I do also know a fair amount of people where two parents work similarly low paying jobs and need both just to keep their heads above water.

Canuck E Stan Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 With the Winter Olympics in full swing, I nominate Eddie the Eagle for Liberal leader.

shoop Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Shakey, That appears to be a very big *IF* at the moment. Who among the sorry lot that isn't running away from the job would you consider to be *half-decent*?????? Belinda, Brison, Ignatieff, Rae. btw, let's dispel this slimmest of minorities crap too. *Your boy* Trudeau got two more seats than Stanfield in 1972. So how exactly is Harper getting 21 more seats than Martin the *slimmest* of minorities? I see we're all inhere hucking it up Con style....

shoop Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Shakey, I agree with you that none of the four I mentioned are great quality. But they have to be considered the *frontrunners* at this point. I don't believe McKenna or Tobin were sandbagging. Only time will tell on that one though... Actually it would probably be th *fifth* slimmest minority after: 1925, 1957, 1962 and 1972. I hope none of those people... I'm hoping that McKenna and Tobin were sand bagging.

But when I give my opinion, because im the "new guy" you guys hassle me. Thats not fair. By the absence of responses there sure aren't many candidates for the lib leadership...heard it was a pretty good gig lots of perks and kickbacks.

shoop Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 The perks (kickbacks?) for Liberal leaders comes when they are working out of the PMO. They don't get the same thing with a party in massive debt and only being the Official Leader of the Opposition.
