Keeping up with Cowboy Tom Mulcair

[Locutus]

Tom Mulcair is jetting off to France next week, it is reported, to burnish his G8 leadership credentials, and demonstrate to the folks — Quebecers in particular — that he’s ready for prime time. And really, it makes perfect sense. How better to impress ordinary Canadians than to be seen nibbling dainties and chatting about Proust among the cream of Paris society, while every other politician in Canada is sweating it out on the BBQ circuit, in Kamloops, Kenora or Grande Prairie? Hmm.

Here’s a novel idea: Rather than focusing, yet again, on honing his pitch to francophone Quebec (where people are already quite familiar with Mulcair, one suspects) the opposition leader could train his considerable energies on, say, Ontario, home to 121 seats in the next federal election. That’s a lot of seats.

He looks better in a cowboy hat than Harpo.

Nobody looks good in a cowboy hat.

True but tell that to all the cowgirls who hang out at rodeos trying to score with gay cowboys.

 

[petros]

Fag hags? Now there are some women to avoid. No loss Cliffy. No loss.

So the BIG QUESTION IS, will the NDP and Liberals work together to defeat Harper, or will they just steal votes from each other and end up with another minority Government??

Is a minority government that bad? Maybe it'll teach the kids how to share the sandbox.

Its good to see the opposition leader doing some of these things. They all look
dorkie when they get out of their element. Trudeau in a Saskatchewan outfit
yesterday, like he is a Rider Fan (sure)
One of the worst was Harper in the hat and black leather vest at the Stampede a
few years back, he looked like well enough said.
Now Mulcair in a cowboy hat. I suppose its better than having him juggle knives.

I like Harper in power, but failing that, a minority government would suffice. Second choice..

Technically, Harper is not 'in power'. His power is dependent on all his causcus MPs not bailing and sitting as independents. One's done so already, so even a majority government doesn't scare me that much since in principle if it really gets out of hand, MPs can leave the Caucus and sit as indys.
