I haven't said anything about Garth Turner; his explusions from the Conservative Party shows how fearful Harper is of having any dissention... think how bad it would be if he, perhish the though, had a majority government.
He should join the Green Party... bring them into Parliament, and end the Conservative hold on Parliament.

Republic Meltdown
Well, after years of economic slowdown, a war that kills over 1 American Soldier a day, and corruption from all levels of Government, the Republican Machine is finally breaking down. All it took was an almost child molestor... rightfully so, its one of the most heinous crimes in Western Society.
The republicans have been covering this up for years, all in the name of winning elections. While if they had done the right thing years ago, they could be claiming to be the protector of children, but instead they showed their true colours as moral-less partisans bent and bound on elctoral victory.
Welcome to the Democratic Era.

Iggynation - The New Trudeaumania?
Is the self-proclaimed Iggynation an attempt to revive Trudeaumania in the 21st Century?
No it is not.
Trudeaumania was the product of the 1960s culture. However the "Iggynation" is the product of our current culture, we have the Leafs Nation, the Sox Nation, most professional sports teams have a "nation" behind them now. Michael Ignattieff's political advisors have smartly attached this to a political campaign, will it work?
The early results say yes, as it stands Micheal Ignattieff has 29.8% of the delegates, clearly the frontrunner. Now they have to capitalize on this to make sure he manages to win the leadership. Heaven forbid Bob Rae becomes Prime Minister.
Now you ask, why not Bob Rae? I'm from Ontario, I was a young lad during Rae Days, but I remember the counter swing... Mike Harris and the Common Sense Revolution, it all but destroyed Ontario. The man (Rae) is politically tainted; do we want a Harper Majority? NO. Bob Rae while now an elder statesman will destroy our party, and will give the Conservatives the chance and ability to become a majority government, punishing the liberal party to a decade of darkness.
I beg the delegates going to the convention to think ahead... we want our Caesar, and it is Michael Ignattieff.
No it is not.

The Harper Hypocrisy
Over the last week, we've seen the current Conservative Government cancelling countless programmes implemented from previous Liberal Governments. When in opposition, they attacked the surpluses, and demanded tax cuts, now that they are in the same boat, they did what the Liberals did, pay down the debt.
Jean Chretien and Paul Martin destroyed the deficit, now as the Conservatives gain the benefits and they claim the Liberals are still causing trouble.
The next election will be interesting, especially with the right Liberal leader.

Ignattieff - The Future of Liberal Politics
Since the January 2006 election, the Liberal Party has been wandering in the desert, Bill Graham has been serving as an apt Interim Leader, keeping the machinery running, and ensuring a solid house policy. Its a testament that we are so strong in the polls, leaderless... think of what it wll be with the correct leader?
For those of us who watched the West Wing, we saw a great US President, Josian Bartlet, he was everything anyone would want of a natonal leader; smart, witty, articulate, a great orator. Everyone wants Jed Bartlet as their leader, well we have him, his name is Michael Ignattieff, world renowned intellectual and nouveau politico that already graps the machinery of politics.
As the Super Weekend arrives, we can hope that he does well, unfortunetly somehow, Bob Rae has become a contender, but how? We have to realize that he is A) not electable in Ontario and B) Not really a Liberal.
I beg Liberals everywhere, choose what we need, and what we want, it should be Michael Ignattieff.

Why is no one calling David Emerson a Whore?
If you recall when Belinda Stronach croseed the floor to join the Liberal Party, some members of the now governing party went as far as to call her a whore. Now that David Emerson did the same thing, he's apparently standing up for Canada.
The Conservatives need to practice what they preach in order to win a majority, as a Liberal, I am more then happy to watch the Conservatives implode before they even sit in the House of Commons, as a Canadian though, I am sad to see another example to why we have a cynical electorate.
Garth Turner is being reprimanded for speaking his mind, yet the Conservatives wanted to restore the voice of MPs in Parliament, where is that freedom? Will it exist when policies such as revoking the right to Same-Sex Marriage, and eventually abortion come back to the table, or the Conservatives force their MPs to follow the party line.
Stephen Harper said Canadians voted for change, well Canadians are asking him, where's the change?
Maybe we would have been better off with another Liberal Minority... at least we know where they stand.
Or maybe we should just start calling Emerson a whore...

Tory Trouble
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1845&ncid=1845&e=1&u=/cpress/20060209/ca_pr_on_na/emerson_fallout
It appears that the Tories are already in trouble and they have yet to even sit in parliament. the noble constituents of our new governing party are outraged at the party switching that was done by former Liberal Industry Minister (and now Conservative Cabinet Minister) David Emerson.
Can the Conservative Caucus survive this sort of infighting, what happens when debates over serious policy start to begin? Time will tell, but at the moment things are not looking good for the new government.
Stephen Harper needs caucus discipline if he intends to last longer a year.

Harper's Hypocrasy
Oh me, oh my, its politcal hypocrasy rearing its ugly head in Ottawa, surprised? I'm not. But he, don't blame me, I voted for the other guy (which one you'll know later).
http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/02/06/emerson-jumps060206.html
Harper said, regarding the appointments "If you look carefully at what I said in the election campaign, I did leave open that possibility.." could someone point us to these statements? I'll kindly give Harper credit if he said that and no picked up on that, but the media was reading the Conservative talking points as if they were commandments from God.
Ok, Canada's changed, we've had our break with the Conservatives, can we go back to the Liberals now please? At least we knew what we got with the devil we knew.
