Discussions are underway to find an appropriate riding for Trudeau. Quote
Canuck E Stan Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Discussions are underway to find an appropriate riding for Trudeau. How about Calgary Southwest? Would that make Dion happy?

Ricki Bobbi Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 Jeanne Le-Ber? Actually a very shrewd move by Dion. Really tests Trudeau's commitment to the party and being an MP. If he runs and wins, hey that's a pickup of a seat....

Remiel Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 It's too bad we can't run him in Alberta for a " What If? " scenario. If he could make a race out of a landslide riding, it would likely say both good things about him and Albertans. Of course, the probability of him running there is... low. Quote

Umm, obviously you know little about the political climate in Alberta. Trudeau running in a riding in Calgary or anywhere rural would most certainly give the CPC candidate near 100% of the vote. There is no more hated politican than PET in Alberta, and little Trudeau takes his socialist, interventionist ideals to a whole higher level. There is no hope in hell a Trudeau will ever come even close to a seat in Alberta, ever. No chance. Hence why he isn't running here.

jdobbin Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 That riding also handed the tories one of its biggest landslides One reason is that Inky Mark actually acts like an independent when it serves his riding. I doubt he will vote on the Wheat Board issue though. I wonder if Harper will punish him. Quote
Fortunata Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Hence why he isn't running here. THAT'S why he isn't running in Alberta? Really? It couldn't be because he isn't from Alberta? That there are actually 9 other provinces and 3 territories in the country doesn't even come into the equation? That he is familiar with his home province of Quebec, in particular Montreal which he now calls home shouldn't count? If anything he could run from BC as he lived there, Ontario as he lived there but Alberta? Jeesh. Quote

Fortunata Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Okay so call me cranky but when I'm right, I'm right. I could have expressed myself less sarcastically but I truly wanted to make the point that Alberta is not the centre of the universe. Quote
Canuck E Stan Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 I truly wanted to make the point that Alberta is not the centre of the universe.

So what you're saying is Little PET should really be running in Toronto,right? I think as long as it is in the Golden Triangle or Vancouver that is all that counts to Fortunata. An Alberta riding clearly isn't as important as a riding from the centre of the universe. In her little hatred inspired rant she also missed the significance of who the current MP is in Calgary Southwest.

Remiel Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 So, you are admitting that Albertans care more about a politicians lineage than about the person themselves? And the West professes to more readily believe in individualism... uh... why? Quote

If Trudeau really want to pull off a coup in his entrance to Parliament he wouldn't slink in through an easy seat in Montréal. He'd play David to Calgary Southwest's Goliath.

In her little hatred inspired rant she also missed the significance of who the current MP is in Calgary Southwest. My Ricki Bobby, what a personal attack - why so mean? Vancouver nor the Golden Triangle are not that important to me. I don't put "my" place above any other place. Alberta is JUST another province equal to any other, hence the Alberta is not the centre of the universe comment. And furthermore, if you were less inspired by hatred yourself, you would see nothing of hate in my post. Why would anyone want to run in a location other than one they live in or live close to? How better could you represent your constituents than to be a resident, thereby totally familiar with their concerns? The whole thing of "Calgary Southwest" or anywhere in Alberta for that matter is a complete farcical argument. You think the whole country's wannabe politicians are lining up to run in Alberta as if that were indeed the centre of the universe? And the ONLY reason they don't is because they couldn't win there? How arrogant is that kind of thinking? You should get out more. Quote
Ricki Bobbi Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 My Ricki Bobby, what a personal attack - why so mean? Because meanness begets meanness and nastiness begets nastiness. You responded very ignorantly to the post which was clearly meant as a joke. Trudeau won't have the cojones to run in Calgary Southwest. Exhibit 1: THAT'S why he isn't running in Alberta? Really? If anything he could run from BC as he lived there, Ontario as he lived there but Alberta? Jeesh. And furthermore, if you were less inspired by hatred yourself, you would see nothing of hate in my post. Your response was very easily taken as ignorant and nasty to Alberta and anywhere outside of MTV. You should get out more. You call me out for meanness and nastiness, but in so doing respond with a poll that is far meaner and nastier? Have a nice evening.

Fortunata Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Trudeau won't have the cojones to run in Calgary Southwest. And that's the ONLY reason not to right? Got it. And the rest of your post ... pfffft .... you know not of what you are talking of. But what else is new? Quote
Ricki Bobbi Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 And the rest of your post ... pfffft .... you know not of what you are talking of. But what else is new? Easiest to just use your words to respond to that one. what a personal attack - why so mean? All within less than an hour. Got's to love that hypocrisy.

Who's Doing What? Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Such is to be expected.... and laughed at vigorously. As per the thread. Send Trudeau to York-Simcoe, to battle Van Loan. Peter Van Loan CON 25685 47.93% X Kate Wilson .......LIB 16456 30.7% Sylvia Gerl ........NDP 7139 13.32% John Dewar .......GRN 3719.. 6.94% Vicki Gunn ........CHP... 595 ..1.11% My mom lives there and she would love to be able to vote for a Trudeau. Quote Harper differed with his party on some key policy issues; in 1995, for example, he was one of only two Reform MPs to vote in favour of federal legislation requiring owners to register their guns. http://www.mapleleafweb.com/election/bio/harper.html "You've got to remember that west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society." (Stephen Harper, Report Newsmagazine, January 22, 2001)
margrace Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 I think this is so funny boy the Alliance people sure are afraid of Trudeau. Quote
