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.
