I believe that Conservatives don't see any of the contenders for the NDP leadership as a serious problem.
Each has their weaknesses.
Mulcair will be good in Parliament. I think. But his Quebec policies will screw him, if Canadians have even a tepid IQ......
He has consistently been against any union, cooperation, or coalition with other parties. That is a weakness, IMHO.
He is said to have a bad temper, and never forgets a slight........not much of a diplomat.
We'll see.
Ready on the left?
Ready on the right?
Ready on the firing line.
In your own time:
FIRE!
Everything is up in the air, with the next election still a few years away. And, to see the Liberals in third place shows just how Canada has changed.I believe that Conservatives don't see any of the contenders for the NDP leadership as a serious problem.

First of all when people don't have policy alternatives they start with the seperatist stuff.
Lets look at that for a moment. First of all the NDP is the best alternative in that Province.
For once a Province who tends to be more socialist oriented chose to opt into federalism
rather than support the separatists. That has to be a good thing.
Goober in fact the vote of separatism should be fifty percent plus one because that would
be a majority. The real issue is can we keep this country together in an orderly manner so
that people don't want to be separatists. At present the last figures I saw support for leaving
was way down in or around 35%, so at the moment not an issue.
I prefer to see where they stand on Unemployment, post secondary education opportunities,
and the economy. These are the real issues for our country.
Its like saying, if we have a problem what do we do?
While ignoring the real problems that exist at the moment.
Do I think he is perfect, no not at all and he has a lot to learn. What most people do not
realize, we need a strong opposition and we need strong government if one or the other is
weak we as the people are the one who pay. The NDP is the current official opposition
and therefore deserve the chance to prove themselves, just like when Harper was the leader
of the opposition and still should be

The Liberal leadership will be early next year and since they have third party status they get to watch as the Conservatives wear down Mulcair and with all the inquiries the Conservative go through in the coming year when the Liberals do get a leader they will be the only viable party to vote for.
Oooooooooooooh! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Notice how the garbage is also on their own?
That's what the Dark Lord does to his first line of minions.
Being the Leader of the NDP is but a training ground for future Leadership of the Liberals.
Just ask turncoat Bob Rea.

I voted for Niki Ashton, first, even though she never had a chance. However the ballot allowed voters to rate the candidates, which means I didn't have to vote strategically.
On my vote, I rated Niki Ashton first, followed by Nathan Cullen, Peggy Nash, Brian Topp, Paul Dewar, Martin Singh and finally Thomas Mulcair.
After round one Ashton was eliminated and Singh and Dewar dropped out.
In round two, my vote went automatically to Peggy Nash (my 3rd choice), who was eliminated along with Nathan Cullen.
In round three, my vote automatically went to Topp (my 4th choice), who was defeated by Mulcair.
All our elections should allow preferential voting... rate the candidates. IN the end, Mulcair won with a majority of votes, unlike our first past the poll system, where that rarely occurs.

Mulcair is going to have a problem with the soft left and most of the west that has had enough of the BS from Quebec.
OTH he is quite capable of going toe to toe with Harper which promises to be interesting if not productive.

No I brought up an NDP Policy that will bite them in their respective asses in the ROC.
The Clarity Act lays out that there will be a clear question asked. Not like the last question
Then and only then can a Ref be held.
More than 50 % plus 1 is required and is more than reasonable when breaking up a country.
Lastly - They can always leave with the Borders they had when joining Confederation.
And of course the other policies you mention have to be laid out clearly.
Ya, the author of the OP isn't known for being the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Maybe all that dipper convention hullabulloo left ya a little foggy 'bro'. :lol:
