The flake proves the label; the Opposition promotes stability.

Trudeau's speech was unremarkable in its delivery. But the content, and the subsequent question-and-answer session with reporters, were anything but. The Liberal leader unveiled a series of 32 proposals, many of which singly, if implemented, would transform Canadian democracy.​

vs.

Small-business tax cuts, support for manufacturing, infrastructure spending; it was fare of the kind you'd have heard in a speech 20 years ago from a federal Liberal minister. In effect, Mulcair is making an unabashed play for the moderate, conservative centre.

Actually going back to Tommy Douglas the CCF NDp were fiscal conservatives
they believed in balanced budgets something all parties abandoned for years.
After today Justin is pretty much a no vote for me Harper has more substance
I am now going head on to join the orange wave as it were

Douglas killed SK. He threatened Rockefeller and the Dutch royals with Socializing Imperial Oil and Shell.

Both pulled up stakes and invested in AB. Poured concrete down sweet crude and gaswells, closed a refinery, or two and still hold the leases.

There is a fortune under Grasslands National Park. Too bad Tommy blew it. SK would have stayed the 3rd most populated Province.
